I have bought a brand new Pulsar 150 DTS-i ES on June 4,05. I just have one word to describe this bike '' awesome power'' and you really need to know how to handle the power this beast throws at you to enjoy it for a long time. The second day of buying the bike I went on a 150km ( to and fro) on the bike and here is my experience of its plus and minus points
Pros
-Awesome power
-Excellent Road Handling
-Near perfect ergonomics of the bike
-Lovely lighting equipment
- Braking and performance is absolute joy
Cons
Handle bar is a bit short and low and this may prove quite a bit inconvenient for long rides
Handle grip is gritty and feels very uncomfortable and post my trip both my palms were hurting like hell and there was a burning sensation from holding the handle tightly. Hopefully, this should change after I get a good grip cover
-- Nitrox shocks are excellent and makes you feel your riding in air. however, in more than a few instances I heard a clang sound when the bike goes over a bump. I am not sure why that sound is coming. I had a pillion with me and both our weight is 160 kgs.
Can somebody suggest if the existing handle can be raised to suit a better riding position ( I am 6.1 tall) and if not, which handle can be replaced for better comfort.
With just one day of riding this bike, I have fallin in love with it
