Bajaj Pulsar 180

Wanted it since my school days, and bought it in 2016.
1. Bought it for Rs.89,970/-
2. The first was smooth as all new bikes give.
3. Always had been a fan of naked looks, the bikini fairing was the best version.
4. Talking about the performance and other things, the performance is decent, I got a mileage of 55kmpl in the first 3 years, but later on due to negligence of service center people the bike did not get what it needed and the mileage fell to 40 km but it's fine after 6 years it's a good one for pulsar 180. The power was always great.
Maintenance - first few services were cheap but later due to poor service network and negligence of service center mechanics of Bajaj the cost went up and up. But it was okay as its a street bike, that too in the 180cc segment it's fine. But Bajaj focuses on earning from spare parts and after-sale services hence it could've been a better experience but nvm Pulsar is love.
In 6 years I've replaced the chainset twice, the front tyre twice, the front shocker rod once, clutch plates once, (I ride hard :p)
The rear tyre thrice, the lock set once, the con set once, handlebar keeps on getting loose but the handling is sharp and fine. Overall I spend approx 10k on services and spare parts last year i.E. 2022,
I've completed 54000 kms on it, which pretty decent in 6 years
Pros and cons
Pros - better fuel efficiency than Pulsar 220
Power is great
The looks are killer
Maintenance is low compared to others in the segment.
Parts are cheap in the aftermarket.
The engine is powerful and has better-built quality compared to others in today's time.
Cons
Poor bajaj services
Costly parts if u buy them from the agency.

I bought this beast in 2014 I never got any type of disappointment while riding. Every day I use to challenge myself with other bikes and heavy vehicles because you won't feel to ride this bike at 40 to 50 kmph you feel that it should be above 80 +plus, I am very lucky to have such a superpower bike in my college life and it will be memorable every time to me a lot of love to this beast from me...

I bought it in October 2021 and white color dagger edge edition.
I was getting of millage 69kmpl with an average speed of 55kmph (shell long ride engine oil)
I reached a top speed 145kmph and a milEage is 25 kmpl (milEage was 25 kmpl with a speed of 120+)
In a single day, I traveled from chennai to sri-rangam (300 km, speed was 95 to 110 mileage was upto 47 kmpl it took 4 hours) sri-rangam to dhanushkodi (sri-rangam to dhanushkodi 250 km) no more hiccups with engine and no more heat with the engine. Service was bad in Chennai anywhere in Chennai it's a bad experience.
Pros: good for daily commuters as well as touring ( don't think about the engine it's very good bs6 engine)
Cons: required broad seats for touring, mono shock, pillion backrest, led headlight, rear wheel abs, instrument cluster light was too high brightness.
