Bajaj Pulsar 135LS DTS-i Review: xBhp's Ride Report

Saw P135 Black yesterday in a showroom, bike is very compact. Looks good from front, seating position is also good not very sporty nor commuterish. The tail peice is best on any indian bike (talking abount rear seat & plastic panels' portion where P135 is writen) if you look at it from top. Also the rear seat has shape of arrow in the end, looks cool. I did not get test ride but started motor and listened to the sound of engine, apart from initial roughness (@1-2k rpm) it was really smooth. Though not in the league of Honda motors but still way better than recent Pulsars.
What i dont like is the rear tyre hugger. If you look bike from back it looks like some moped. I would prefer traditional mudguard rather than that moulded number plate holder. Also saree guard is very ugly and made up of thick bars. Tiny exaust pipe makes bike look puny from back. Another thing i dont like is those flaps around headlamp, i mean the way they are left open towards the end they can be easily broken with slightly more pressure. Switchgear is bit of a cheap quality but works flawlessly.
Apart from these small niggles the bike is good and will perform well in market. The price is 53k ex showroom for fully loaded version (Vapi, Guj).sigpic

The mud guard/flap is there for the same reason there is a tyre hugger on P150/P180 (which is missing on the P220). So that the bike's rear end doesn't get all covered in muck with the slightest bit of rain. P220s get really dirty in that regard. Keep them on only if you wish during the winter/summer. It will show its real worth in the rains. Anyways congrats mate.. Enjoy the "Most Revolutionary Pulsar Ever!"Advice is a form of nostalgia.
Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

@snp :
Congratz man for your P135. I am still waiting for mine. My dealer promised to deliver it to me by 10th Jan. I booked on 12th Dec. So, about 1 month of waiting. I am getting very impatient waiting for my first bike.
Hope, you are enjoying it very much. Post some pics fast. And also a ride report from you.sigpic

Congrats..
The P135LS is a rider/beginner friendly bike with Agile and Best handling among the Pulsar clan.. even if this is your first bike, you should have no problem adapting to it.
The only frustration that one might face during the engine running in period is that, one wont be able to feel the effectivness of the 4 valves as the real kick/fun comes in only post 5000 rpm. It'll be a hard time resisting the temptation to wring the throttle.
Best of luck.. do post about your ownership experience when you get your bike.. and remember ride safe, ALWAYS wear a helmet.

Maybe this is not a bike for most of us, but I hope the 4 valve architecture spreads on to the rest of the pulsars.
And 4 valve is not all that important. The more important things are soft kick start, soft clutch lever press, less weight and most of all, a vibration free motor!
I like the rear number plate & rear tyre hugger. I mean, the simple option to remove it with a spanner...
