The Pros and Cons part will reveal the final debate on all the Top 6 bikes, that we consider from the beginning.The pros and cons will be subdivided into 3 parts (i.e., 2 bikes per post).
I hope it will cover possible all Pros as well as cons of the bike.
Pulsar 150 2009:
Pulsar 150 bike is the rocking model of the bajaj from the year 2002. The bike has nearly four Upgrades and hence it is always an evergreen bike available in India.
The Bike has 2 serious upgrades in Engine. The Engine provides a very good 14.01Bhp output power, which is second highest output power from a 150cc Engine. Not only this the bike has a very good torque of 12.76nm@6000rom which is not the best but not like the rest. The new bike design with tank scoops adds looks to the bike.
The main plus point of the pulsar is its furious pick up. The bike is just 129Kgs and hence the torque helps it to reach the best out of the bike very easily. When the bike is at 6000rpm we can see a sharp change in your race, the Pulsar150 really rocks above 6000rpm also. Reaching 85Kmph is not at all a big target for Pulsar but after that the performance of the bike reduces largely.
the Bike is also best to drive at lesser speeds. In the 5th Gear, you can reach from 20Kmph to 80Kmph at just 14.3 seconds, where as other bikes take more than 17seconds to reach 80Kmph in 5th gear.
The sound will be interesting always and at all speeds. you will really shout Wow!!! at the roar of pulsar making you to feel as though you are driving a true sports bike. It will enthuse you to drive more faster. The sound will be like "Drive me more, Lets go!". The Bike has a top speed of 113Kmph second best speed among 150cc engine.
The main draw back in pulsar is the Forks. There is an imbalance in holding the fork of the Bike. The fork in pulsar attached to the Handle bar with the help of a screw which gets loosened because of the forks more telescopic. This causes a slight jerk when the screw was loose which makes the rider to fall immediately. In the 200, 220 and the current 180 pulsars have this problem rectified.
Nothing more to complain about the bike, every thing is good and Pulsar is exactly a Male Bike.
According to me Pulsar is a Strong Companion, who increases your confidence always.

CBZ Xtreme ATFT:
CBZ the second 150cc 4 -stroke motorcycle in India, has changed its looks and name into one of the best 150cc bike available now. The bike has good looks and style and designed for taller riders also and new colors and Graphics added recently.
The Bike has the best output power in 150cc segment with 14.4Bhp@8500rpm and excellent torque of engine is 12.8nm@6000rpm which is slightly more than Pulsar 150 anyway. But the Height and Weight plays negatively for the bike. The dry weight which is around 136Kgs and the height of the bike with 18" wheels makes the bike to allow more air to pass through and makes it difficult to drive your bike with utmost power, but still we can reach 125kmph (Speedo-error: Actual 110Kmph ).
The bike has a very good support from the 3rd and 4th Gear where the pickup is at the maximum for these gears.
The bike's sound is very silent and it wont make us to feel that the bike is running at 50-55Kmph. But above 85Kmph the bike shivers but not as bad as pulsar.
The bike's cost is too higher than pulsar 150 but the color and Graphics makes it worthy.
The bike fails to enthuse the rider but the looks enthuse the viewers and makes new fans for the rider.
The mileage tells us the bad news about the engine. The Engine is a well performing drunkard. The small 150 cc engine drinks similar to bigger engines.
According to me, "CBZ Xtreme helps you to make a good show with style"
