I bought one of these a year ago. Used it for about 4 months and sold it. Idid loose a lot of money on it as well.
This motorcycle, with disc brakes, self start and alloy wheels has a goodpick up. I remember it as a smooth running motorcycle, with an amazing pick up.I used it from my house to work and back around 40 KMS a day. I rode a CBZ onceand must say that pulsar 180 did have a very good pick up, then again youcannot compare them as they both have a different set of engine with differentoutput.
Where a CBZ is far more comfortable then a pulsar, pulsar has a lot betterperformance than the CBZ.
The reason I sold mine was comfort, every time I rode it I’d get a swollenarm (left). I thought it’s the clutch and took it to the dealer, once, twice,thrice. No solution provide so I thought I’d get rid of it.
With a mileage of about 50 I think it’s not bad either.
The pulsar tends to drift to one side while braking, this could be becauseof the disc brakes being on one side (Assumtion). They brakes are great otherwise. I did have a feeling I'd skid if I hit the brakes at around 40-50 KMPH.Never with a Yamaha though.
I own a Yamaha RX 135 and have ridden it for about 5 hours straight with noproblems at all. Yamaha is my first choice always, for comfort, performance,maintenance, handling and whatever else.
My suggestion would be a CBZ among these three in comfort, a Yamaha RX 135for performance, third a pulsar for all the fancy.
I believe Hondas are more expensive when it comes to maintenance and thecheapest would be a Yamaha.
I have no problems with a pulsar either, I take it as, maybe the one I ownedhad some problem or maybe its my left arm that doesn't like a pulsar.
Keep in mind, I‘m not expert when it comes to technicalities but this hasbeen a personal experience.
Take care,
