Bajaj Pulsar 135 LS Ownership Review

I became the proud owner of the latest offering from Bajaj, the Pulsar 135 LS on 17th Feb 2010. The bike has done around 500Kms and recently its first servicing was accomplished. I want to share my experiences how I choose this to be my first bike, my familiarity with the bike and its pros and cons.

As we all know that choosing the first bike is never an easy task, therefore it took me a lot to decide which bike to go for. I always wanted to have a bike with power, performance, mileage and looks at a reasonable price. Unfortunately, one cannot have all these above mentioned features in a single bike. Therefore, to aid my decision, the first basis to choose the bike was budget.

A phenomenal initiative taken by TVS Motor last year is going to benefit a few very lucky motor-racing enthusiasts of Mumbai on 3rd and 4th of April’10.

 TVS Motor has started a unique training program for bikers necessarily having TVS Apache RTR by the name of “Apache Racing Experience” last year and as a debut they have conducted the exclusive and the extensive racing program in Bengaluru at the Palace Grounds and also in Chennai at the MMSC Race Track. The “ARE” was a huge success last year and therefore this year TVS is going to extend its racing legacy to the youngsters of Mumbai.
The new 2010 session of Apache Racing Experience is going to be taken place on 3rd and 4th of April’10 at Hiranandani Go Karting track in Powai, Mumbai. There will be only 70 registrations on the basis of first come first basis. The registration fee is Rs.250/- but ironically there isn’t any online registration and you have to personally visit to the nearest TVS dealer in Pune or Mumbai to get enrolled for the event and yes! Don’t forget you MUST be a proud owner of Apache RTR to be eligible for this program as this is the prerequisite for ARE.
I don’t know by the time you are going through this news if any seat is left for you or not but one thing is sure you can always visit to the event to enjoy if not to participate.
