    The most-awaited Pulsar 200 NS launched today-my take as follows

    The Good:
    • Rear mono shock
    • new(for india) design alloys
    • Engine block & Transmission is (shared) from KTM
    • upsized tyres and bigger 'Bybre' brakes
    • Liquid cooled
    • substantial power improvement form previous gen
    • company 'claimed' mileage of 50-58 Kmpl
    • KTM-inspired perimeter frame
    • affordable Pricing on lower side of 1 lakh mark

    The Bad:
    • Design: radical?-yes!, edgy?-yes! but is is a trendsetter? No! (FZ introduced the naked-muscular-proportionate looks that is the std even now in India) The headlight, IMHO looks like a love child of FZ's and Discover's curved one. Also, the front view shows the disproportional headlight/tank.
    • Bulky at 145Kgs for a Naked
    • Reliablity 'doubts' associated with a 'new' platform
    • The console of current gen looks much better than the new-gen console
    • the 'Pulsar-as-a-Tourer' diminishes in every new gen: look at the Lesser capacity Tank, lower placed 'belly-exhaust', no wind-shield etc.,

    Doubts: will the 2050 Pulsar feature DTS-i (Digital Ten Spark-Ignition)? .

    On a serious note, will the performance/efficiency increase with every additional spark plug? Then why are mfg's round the world are not stuffing as many spark plugs they can??


    I am disappointed that only one model and not the entire 2012 Pulsar lineup got unveiled today.

    All said, I am very sure that the Pulsar was/is/and will be a VFM product that will seduce you with it's affordable power biking for masses!

    Yup. Lets hope it is as good as the writer puts out to be. Anyways, as with any new release, will wait for atleast 6-8 months after the bike hits the road. Until then my Joeled 220 is in service.

    My 220 Dtsi, was the 2nd bike from Pune when it was launched, and I must say it has been comparatively less niggle free as against earlier Bajaj models.

    Hope it is even better this time.

    3 Spark plugs and 4 valves. what next?4 sparks??

    Duke to Pulsar NS is what Galaxy SII is to Iphone 4S. one is mass market other is exclusive!

    CBR comparison: its definitely no ripoff.it has its own exclusive design elements.

    The build quality from these pics atleast looks top notch.Honda level.Definitely a step in right direction for bajaj.

    The front looks hot.Yellow color is smoking.Though i dint like the tail much.doesn't go well with aggressive front part.

    Kudos to Mr Rajiv Bajaj.He is the Steve Jobs of Indian Motorcycle Industry!

    BTW does all liquid cooled bikes come with External Oil filter??

    My 2 paise....

    Sounds more like Nitpicking. Many bikes have triangular headlamps. Whats wrong in that? This bike sure looks like it has a character.

    that was the same impression i had when i saw the new pulsar pics. but except for the headlight and rough proportions of the tank, the pulsar will still stand out.

    This is a definite design copy.
    A total ripoff.
    definitely not a ripoff. any bike can have a triangular shaped headlight. even yamaha bikes have it.

    lets give credit to bajaj for coming up with such a design. this can be an international hit. wait till it gets launched in SE Asia and south america

    I really doubt that if these guys see someone looking similar to them, they go shouting, ''whoa, you are a total rip off of me. How dare you do that? Copy cat''.. lol..

    Dont know if anybody has posted it earlier:

    2012 Bajaj Pulsar 200NS: World Exclusive First Ride Page - 1| Zigwheels.com

    I like the way the rider has put down this article. I bought my 220 Dtsi after reading the review on Zigwheels, and wasnt disappointed.

    This article should give an idea about the new 200

    "Speaking of weight and its effect, I must mention balance and mass centralization here again and the way this sets the Pulsar 200 NS from any other bike in the country today. While some may have marveled at the brilliance of the CBR250R’s handling the fact remains that it just doesn’t have the buzz and the exhilaration that the 200 NS does and even while giving away crucial displacement to the quarter-litre Honda, this Bajaj can show a thing or two, not just to the CBR but to every other bike on the market in its class and then leave them for dead."

    One of the few excerpts from the article. Goes on to say a lot about this bike.
