Pulsar all the way or even I would vote for TVS and HH as well if they were in poll. My Vote Is just for the effort that these companies took in order to provide us the glimpse of Performance Biking at the time when we were surrounded by the 100ccs and Scooters.

At least our Indian companies made Yam to take Indian Market seriously. Otherwise we would be riding the likes of Libero, Jessica Alba

Ok.. Good one MG. Well if I were to comment on this.. I would firstly think that why Yamaha vs. Pulsar. It has been well highlighted by most people here that name "YAMAHA" is synonymous with performance.. (not that much with looks from the indian context, but which actually is).. but same with Brand "PULSAR", its synonymous with performance too.

The penetration of the brand "PULSAR" is way more deeper in India than the brand "FZ".. or "R15". And i am talking about overall penetration taking into picture 65-70% population which resides in villages and small towns. Most people can still recognize RX100 in small towns.. but FZ & R15.. its difficult. But its improving at much faster pace than even the Pulsars.

My observation "PULSAR" does not only mean Performance.. but it means "Performance at low cost" (read maintainance). And most people would agree here that when it comes to Low Cost Components, no one can beat Bajaj. Thats what it makes "PULSAR" more lucrative. Despite of being biggest brand when it comes to Performance biking in India (biggest in terms of followers), "PULSAR" is the most abused and misused bike in India. The expectation of people from the "Pulsar" bike is so huge that, it ends us getting abused.

PULSARs are most popular with Stunters.. Why.. its balanced, fit for stunting.. gives you an adrenalin rush... great initial grunt.. fand who does the Stunts "YOUTH". Name a single stunter who has not performed stunts on Pulsar in India? And what makes Pulsar more suitable for stunting is -- Again the low cost components. Read - frequent parts replacement.

Ok.. "YAMAHA". A brand which was on the verge of dying in India, revived by R15 & FZ. World class bikes at relatively High Cost in Indian context (look at FAZER... overprieced anytime). A brand which was so once Youthful that people still miss the RDs and RX.

But somewhere Yamaha as a company couldnt read Indian market, which finally bajaj did. Bajaj captured the imagination of Youth over the period of time and Yamaha just Mimicked it in India in last 1-2 years. Lot of customers of current Yamaha are previous Bajaj owners.

Where Bajaj studied the Indian market.. Yamaha studied the market of "PULSAR". This itself tells, which is a bigger brand. The "PULSAR".

Due to opening up of economy, Yamaha has finally started tasting success. And Yamaha is able to sell its expensive products. And long forgotten brand is catching up fast.

But anytime .. my vote is "PULSAR". I own two of them.

My vote is for pulsar / bajaj.
Ofcourse, yamaha gives you international product here but its the bajaj who actually knows what the young indian wants.
Yamaha is doing bike manufacturing for many years but its the bajaj who started manufacturing bikes very recently and is competing with the international brands. Every product release there we can see some improvement and I likes that.
Pulsar is superbly styled (say p200) with a good price stag and performance on the other hand R15 is too pricey...FZ is too vulgur (for my taste). Ofcourse, R15 is a great handing, best engined bike but....

Your Brain may go for the Yamaha ...but its
Your Heart that will go for the Pulsar / Bajaj

If you want to die and don't know a way to do it, goto Australia !
If you want to expericence the same but dont want to die soon, goto America or get an American car. Mind you, Americans manufacture the best handling cars in the world [pun intended].

dual disc 200

Although i Love Yamaha for the bikes which they give out and R15 being my dream soon inspite of owning a 200, i think it was bajaj that made Yamaha to bring out new concepts like the current models, just think if we had not got the 220's! Yamaha India would be still stuck to CRUX-R, Libero, Fazer etc..... So, Bajaj is what i voted for..

I think most of them got the question wrong,including me.As a brand,pulsar surely beats brand yamaha,but I here,did a comparsion between bajaj and yamaha.Even my vote goes for pulsar......The brand stands for what it was intended to and continues to do so even today

Brand pulsar just brings sporty commuters to mind and majority of them are used for the same purpose. Heck even TVS with it's Apache brand is more youthful than all of the Pulsars combined. So it's Yamaha for me all the way.

Which is the most "Youthful" brand of the two?

What suits my style ?
To Me , In Today's world if I was give an option to pick up a FZ or p150 / R15-P220 I would definitely go for a Yamaha...

This is just leaving what they both have done in the past or the VFM factor.
If I look at these bikes or ride them.. I am more inclined towards the Yammy - its suits me more
