You need to do more research mate.Originally posted by ASHU1986 View Post
Bajaj motorcycles are just as reliable as any other motorcycle in the market, if not better considering some of the Japs.
If you have a look at my signature you'll realize that I started with a Hero Honda and then have strictly stuck to options for Bajaj motorcycles, reason goes without saying as preference shifted towards long-term ownership and reliability.
As for the Xtreme 200R vs P180, its a no-brainer, if you want ABS then go with the Hero, if not then the P180 would do just fine as spare availability and ownership costs are considerably low for a Bajaj.Motorcycling Experience:
2000 ~ 2017 Y2K Kinetic Zoom (Disposed at 15k)
2011 ~ 2015 Hero Honda Karizma R (Sold at 56.5k)
2013 ~ 2014 Bajaj Discover 100 4G (Sold at 16.5k)
2015 ~ 2017 TVS Wego (Totaled at 18k)
2015 - Bajaj Pulsar 220F (Currently 31k) < Garage Queen!
2017 - Bajaj CT100B (Currently 21k) < 'Golden Quadrilateral' Runner!
The Ride was Good, but Life is short, spend it Wisely!
Adios Comrades!

Xtreme 200 has an entirely new engine, doesn't makes sense to go for it right now.Comment

If you love pulsar go for it , P180 is not bad than Xtreme 200 !!Originally posted by ASHU1986 View Post
Mind that hero hasn't refined its motor yet !!! (atleast 200R).
But after March 2019 Indian auto will definitely face a major change!!
Chances are there ,to get ABS on Pulsars different range !! If you can wait for 4 months , then you can buy the ABS equipped one for sure !!
Choose wisely !!
Ride safe.Comment

Re: Pulsar 180 or Hero Xtreme 200R? Bike for hefty built person
If your choice is strictly limited to the above two: here are my take on both the bikes:
Xtreme 200R: ABS, wide servicing network of Hero, newer and less common bike and returns good FE.
Pulsar 180: Time tested machine, sturdy, suited for taller riders, brakes offer great non-ABS feedback, more linear pickup.
If ABS is a deciding factor, go for the 200R. At 6'2, it won't be an issue to ride the bike. Seat height is about 790mm compared to P180's 800mm which is more suited for taller riders. If you like the other factors about 180, it's worth waiting for the ABS variant which will launch in the months to follow.[My Motorcycles]
