Bajaj doesn’t give out long termers, but hope springs eternal – I had this dream, In my parking lot stood the very best of Indian motorcycles – a Pulsar 180dtsi and my friends Eliminator. I knew I shouldn’t have geared up first.
The Pulsar 180, in contrast, sports Pulsar is classified as a street-sports motorcycle. Which means that the engine bay is thickly packed, the stance is front-heavy, competent, performance-oriented.
The Elim’s 173.9 CC engine puts out 15.15 bhp at 9000 rpm, while the Pulsar’s 178.6 CC dtsi engine is worth 16.5 bhp at 8000 rpm. Apart from the small horsepower advantage, the Elim is also ahead on torque .Elim has great staying power and will take 85-90 kph cruising from full tank to full tank with ease.
The 180 boosts your cornering confidence. Surely the pricetag will dive up things nicely. After all, the cruiser is almost Rs 30,000 more expensive. But buying a premium motorcycle is far more emotional a decision than buying a commuter. Especially with these two. You aren’t really buying a tool to reach office, you’re choosing a weekend companion and a way to articulate your personality as well.
Almost like you’ve come home. But in essence, the Pulsar 180 is about velocity, straight-up or spiralling.The Eliminator benefits from its cruiser ambitions. It sports the longest wheelbase, has gumball rubber and in general seems like the most spacious set of wheels. Further, there’s a good deal of chrome for games with the light and to make a statement. Which is part of the Elim’s charm. The slimness of line gives it a visual fragility that leaves you with the impression of an expensive fashion accessory.
It would appear that one of the side-effects of choice is that you have to make it.i think the better choice would be p-180 dtsi.Thats's it.
And dont forget to rate my review and comment if any.
