Re: New 2014's Pulsar 150 or 180 for my criteria

1) How much is the mileage variation with P150 and P180 ? - P150= 45-50 kmpl , P180= 40-45 kmpl
2) Can we change saree guard for elder ladies sitting comfortability ? If so how much it costs ? - No idea, better ask the showroom guys itself
3) P180 coming with Tubeless, I don't have any clue regarding tyres. So, tell me Which are better for our Indian Roads and Economical view ? - Tubeless tyres are always better as they dont flatten out suddenly, you can ride it just by filling in more air until you get time to repair it.
4) Chain is visible to out. Can we fit chain guard like P150. If so how much it costs ? - No idea again.
5) Does P180 has slight large tank for Riding comfortability for Tall persons ? - Not much difference between P150 and P180 really.
6) Finally, when 2015 Model Pulsars will arrive showrooms as I am planning to buy in New Year ? or Should i wait for a month to grab 2015 model ? - Buy 2015 model as when you want to sell it to someone it will make a difference of 1 year in that persons eyes.

Re: New 2014's Pulsar 150 or 180 for my criteria

Pulsar 180 is based on p200/220. So it's better than p150 on almost every aspect(brake, performance etc). From my observation, a chain guard cannot be fitted since the swing arm is oval compared to p150's rectangular one. Mileage is around 50 when ridden sanely.

Both bike's are nearly identical in seating. I'd suggest you to have a td on both bikes. P180 has higher turning radius. See if you can handle both the bikes safely..

I have seen tall people ride both the bikes. But I guess the 180 would be better due to it's sporty stance compared to 150's commuter stance, allowing your knees to be in the right posture. Also, p180 is little bit more updated compared to 150. So I'd say 180(may be since I own one

). If you wish to own the bike for long time, go for the one which your heart prefers, which I guess is the 180 as you mentioned..

Re: New 2014's Pulsar 150 or 180 for my criteria

Hello xbhp folks.
After visiting Bajaj showroom twice me and my friends are preferring p150 . one showroom manager hardly suggested me to go For p150. Mainly for mileage, footrest, maintenance, kickrod issues I'm preferring.

Let me know am I taking correct decision. ??

1) How much is the mileage variation with P150 and P180 ?

Ans - 150 will give 50+ and 180 will give you 40+

2) Can we change saree guard for elder ladies sitting comfortability ? If so how much it costs ?

Ans - Yes, it may be done but you have to ask the showroom guys about the cost.

3) P180 coming with Tubeless, I don't have any clue regarding tyres. So, tell me Which are better for our Indian Roads and Economical view ?

Ans - Tubeless are always better and safer than tube ones. But only if you have a tubeless puncture repair shops in your surrounding. It wont be smart to buy a bike with tubeless tires, if nobody in your area can repair the puncture on it. Also when you nedd to replace the tires, the tubeless ones are more expensive than the tube ones. (keep it in consideration when making the decision).

4) Chain is visible to out. Can we fit chain guard like P150. If so how much it costs ?

Ans - No idea, you will have to ask the dealer about it. also as the chain is exposed, you will need to take care of it and clean and lube it every 500-700 kms. else it will get dirty and make harsh noise and reduce the mileage.

5) Does P180 has slight large tank for Riding comfortability for Tall persons ?

Ans - tank dimensions are same on both bikes. No difference.

6) Finally, when 2015 Model Pulsars will arrive showrooms as I am planning to buy in New Year ? or Should i wait for a month to grab 2015 model ?

Ans - its better to buy a 2015 model considering the resale value. But the 2015 model will be not be available in January itself, the dealers will clear their 2014 stock which takes about 2 months. so you will get your 2015 model around after mid feb. If you buy before that, it will just be a 2014 model bought in 2015.

One more thing, as 180 dosent have a kick start you will have to maintain the battery and keep the bike in good condition at all times. else it will fail you at odd times and you will have no other option to start the bike. So along with the healthy engine, a well maintained battery is a must.

Feel free to ask any more questions. Choose wisely.
