Bike mania...!!

Its been three months or so i have been thinking to buy a bike. The options were:
  1. Bajaj Pulsar 150cc: Nice looks. Black variant looks awesome. Rs 58000/- only. Mileage of more than 50kmpl. What else do u need. Only drawback is that its now common. Every now and then you can find this bike on roads or in parking spots.
  2. Bajaj pulsar 180cc: Marvellous structure. Black variant with black rims is the best one. Rs 61000/- only. Mileage of more than 40
  3. Bajaj Avenger: 179cc engine. Comfortable for long drives. Looks great on healthy people. Rs 65000/- only. Mileage of more than 40
  4. TVS Apache: 150cc engine. launched in competition against Bajaj Pulsar 150. Great looks. Great variety in colours and comes in handy Rs 57000/-
And this was the data that i collected 3 months ago when i decided to have one of them. But people around me suggested to wait a little bit so that the new pulsar comes into the market. And when it came it gave a all new sensation to bike riding.

Bajaj Pulsar 150/180 comes with digital display which shows you the gear you are operating in. The tail lights have been modified which gives it a sportive bike look. As far as the changes in internal features are concerened, i m not aware with them. Pulsar 150cc is now priced at Rs 61000/- and 180 at Rs 63000/- with mileage being the same as it was previously. So, i am totally confused which one to choose from. Options have died down to only two bikes: either Pulsar 180cc or Avenger. Lets see whats in store in future.

Great choice you have narrowed down to. It all depends what kind of a rider you are and where your ride.

If you like to ride hard and fast and ride mostly in the city (and on bad roads), get the 180! You will not regret it!

If you like long rides, outside the city (less traffic to navigate), on smooth highways, get the Avenger.

I own a 180 and love it. Have ridden the Avenger as well for some long rides and loved it to. I would love to own both (if I had the money).

Both are excellent bikes with different characters. Do what I say:

Take a test ride of both for long enough distances. Then do what your heart feels (not what your mind tells you)
