    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.
    Thanks for your brief reply Ankey.
    I have contaced showroom guys they said 2015 model will be available from March, April.
    In future I might use my bike for daily commute about 40km. So I'm looking towards p150. Regarding looks , pillion grab rails and split seat are the major difference for both of these bikes. I have contacted regarding this they said grab rails costs RS.350 like 180. Split seats for 1400. These can be fitted for p150 ease
    Did I missed any style aspects of 180 other than these. ?

      No, i think not.
      You can go ahead with the mods whenever you want.
      All the best for your new bike, my friend.

            Relax brother, there is nothing much to check when you buy a new bike. there are a few pre delivery checks. I'm listing them for you below.

            pre-delivery inspections.
            * check the odometer reading it should be less than 10 kms.
            * check all the lights, indicators, Horn, switches etc.
            * check the paint and finish of the body and the alloy wheels.
            * crank the engine and let it idle, idle RPM should be between 1.4-1.7k per minute.
            * Check for any scratches, bent rims etc.
            *Remove every bit of polythene from indicators, headlights, tail light and speedometer. These protective films contain glue in them, if you don’t remove these and then park the bike in sun, the glue leaves the polythene and sticks permanently to the glass of speedometer, and it is a mess to remove.

            And lastly follow the run in period properly, to enure that the bike serves you for long time without any problems.
            I would like to thank my legs for supporting me, my arms for being always by my side and my fingers; I could always count on them.
