Kailas hi, I confuss those were the days with almost zero knowledge on bikes. P150 was a gift from my parents & for my dad CBZ was a big guzzler. No more way to add ZMA here. Fiero was not an Impressive one for me just b'coz of its looks(My personal feeling). Right from college days I was much particular on Caliber which my parents agreed with a single condition that bike after college days only. For my dad its mileage was ok since he is going to pay for the all the bills.
After 3 months of college days my parents decided to get me a bike. With no choices left, went to book a Caliber. But it was love at first sight, the Pulsie.....Test rode & was impressed with its disk, weight since I was too light at that time..... Dad was worried abt disk but the only point ruled out other bikes which my dad was aiming was the weight (Victor included). Finally booked the Pulsar. After buying it dad was impressed since he only runned-in my bike. He use to tell everyone that I've got a very good bike for my son. With my association with this group my parents too started a special respect for Pulsar. The reasons may be direct/Indirect but it was Pulsar all about. Upgarding to 180 is the real story with my dad supporting it just for the reason that bike will give smiles to the rider only if that bike is loved by the rider....
