Well let me start with an introduction abt myself. 6'4'' tall , lean (weight 63Kgs) and would be confused for a lamp post. the other part of me- I RACE BIKES ! a dragster .. I have featured in autocar magzine. if you ask me ''is the bike Heavy as it looks?'' I would say its a feather if you get accustomed to it. Take my word for it.
I donno to divide the bike into big time words like '' Build quality'', ''Power to weight ratio'' or '' Torque'' these mean nothing to me atleast.You can just get a layman's experience in this review
I used to own a TVS Victor though I was happy abt the bike it didnt give me the thrill I needed.someone told me the Pulsar was good, so I just went for a Pulsar. I got on the bike from the showroom and started riding it everything started zipping past me...i looked down at the spedometer and it was showing 85! hey I thought there was some problem with the meter.. but ''No'' I was really at 85 the bike is soo smooth you dont feel the speed. now now now...i am not supposed to drive a new bike at 85 am i? I said what the hell..? let it happen I anyways dont care spending.. so I drove it faster right from day one..
I live in Bangalore, a bad city for riders,drivers, reasons '' Badroads, heavy traffic and rain!(ref:- https://bangalorepotholes.com) I go to office and then my evening college but have to cover almost 75 Kms everyday , why not ? I had a good bike so I used to zip past.
i used to get it serviced every 1000 Kms ( the manual says 2500 I think ) one day my mechanic told me just like that '' Sir, you can race on this bike , its that good''..and that was enough..i got pumped up and joined this dragrace at Bangalore. I ripped my bike , my friends told me this bike is doomed. my record quater mile in 19 Seconds.! ya I got it revved up a little bit..
NOW.. its been 2 years since I bought that bike.. 35000 Kms done ,Not a single problem the engine is damn good says my mechanic, and I beat the crap outa any CBZ or a ferio in the signal.
imagine ripping the bike from day one, changed to a huge tyre, changed to a freeflow exhaust, gear controlling, gearshifting without declutching.. rash driving etc.. if a bike can take all these kinds of tourtures and still survive for more than 35000 Kms.. I dont think you should have a second thought of buying this bike. and hey there is no problem to your ''ITEM'' as the general rumor says.. trust me you wont hit your ''Something'' to the petrol tank all that is bull. if you need consistant raw power, a milage of 50-55 kpl ,and a low cost maintainence bike.. go for this.. and Phulese dont compare it with a victor or a ct 100 or any herohondas.. this is incomparable stuff.
