what???!!! another upgrade by devouring its elder sibling??? man....now i am really wary of buying a P200. It was an option for me till now....but not anymore...a boon for new bike buyers and a bane for the existing owners...

OMG

Why did Bajaj do this to me.... this is so unfair!









I have a bad habit of gazing at bikes and trying to find out their make from the slightest view! I will surely have a tough time now....

Jeez! Btw as a shareholder I think its a nice strategy... Bajaj is offloading ALL its inventory that it had piled up thanks to the Mass Manufacturing mode of operations... but i really expect p220 to have some sort of upgrade... How about using some parts from XCD 135?

So the new P180 is actually the current P200. I hope the changes are "not-only-cosmetic"

Potential Pulsar buyer walks into a showroom... spends 30 mins.. comes out confused.. walks into [insert any other manufacture here besides bajaj here] showroom.. rides out on [now insert a model by that inserted manufacture here] in 5 mins.

seriously.. this is going to be really confusing for buyers.

^^ Exactly, same thing has happened with a friend of mine who had a pulsarmania bug, but was so tired of 150/180/200 looking almost similar, he went and bought an RTR/FI!!

oh god this is crazy!!!! totally insane.

@ current 200 owners: no words!!!

if the new 180 is selling for more price than the current 180, it could have been a wiser decision to adopt some technology from the bigger pulsars like oil cooler and fi instead of all this. just my personal thought!!

I think Bajaj are quite clever by making the 180 look like its bigger siblings.

Think about it majority of pulsar owners are not on xbhp and majority of pulsar owners are not riding the 200 and 220.

Now that the 180 and 150 look cooler and have parts from the bigger bikes people are going to be happier buying these bikes, which is what bajaj want. The bikes that make them the most money to sell the most.

I'm sure they had some sorta market research and most people said i want the new 180 to look like the 200/220.

This has a negative effect on current 200 owners who loose exclusitivity, but 200 upgrades are no far away. So new 180's and 200's are gonna be different. and how many 200 owners are going to replace their bikes just cos a newer version is out. I know I'm not, cos I'm still having fun on my 200 and will for a while to come.

Just cos someone elses bike looks better or is faster than mine does not make me feel bad. But thats just me. If that was the case I'll land up hating all things I poscess. My xbox360 is no longer as powerful as a PC, my cell phone does not have GPS, my AC only has 2 stars, my girlfriend gained weight, my crate of beer is half empty.

now it will be more difficult for me to differentiate the pulsar range of bikes nonetheless its a good move by bajaj
