    What A Beautiful Bike

    Man I've never been a Bajaj fan but this latest iteration of the Pulsar has swept me off of my feet. I am simply in love with this bike and can't wait to read the ride report and see it in flesh.

    If Bajaj continues to produce such products then the day is not far when Bajaj will overtake HMC as the largest bike manufacturer in India and will certainly gain tons of respect in India as well as abroad.

    Kudos Mr. Rajiv Bajaj!!

Segmentation of a particular product depends a lot on what is the target audience.
            I guess the bit in bold is what Rajiv Bajaj would want us to believe. Or how else would you explain the 'Non-Rear-Disc-sporting' test mules. IMO, the entire Pulsar series will be revamped with completely new ones with the P125TSLC replacing the current P150 and the P150TSLC replacing the current P180. Improved FE and Power no.s will take care of the 'social stigma' of 'downgrading' from something like a 150cc (13.5 Ps) CB Unicorn to say a 125cc (14.x Ps) P125LC (Duke 125 was actually 'restricted' to 15 Ps). Anyways there is no good sense in making the old gen Pulsars when a worthy successor has been identified and is being appreciated.

            *TSLC = Triple Spark Liquid cooled.

            What now remains to be seen is can BAL pass the emissions without using Fi on the P250(which will eventually come) in the same manner they managed to with the P200NS (using their TS tech). If they do manage that, they will be able to undercut the competition by a BIG BIG margin and will surely be tremendous VFM.

            The above should answer your question.
            Advice is a form of nostalgia.

              So those test mules were smaller versions? If yes then why wasn't this bike tested on road?

                Why so much FE Difference between Pulsar 200 NS and Duke

                Both Duke200 and pulsar 200 NS have almost similar features and its also said that pulsar uses same KTM engine. Both 200cc, both having top speed around 135-136 kmph and having very close 0 to 60 (infact pulsar has little extra weight)

                Then how can pulsar 200 NS give mileage of 58 while KTM just 30-35 ? Is it that 1.48 bhp difference and just that tripple spark technoloy?

Once they entered into a binding agreement, these products got push and they decided to develop bikes on this platform, when I say platform i'm talking about engine. Of course the chasis/frame used in Duke are from KTM, but in Pulsar Chasis/frame are different to that used in Duke. So, they share basic engine block, head is apparently different in both bikes and probably transmission.

                  Oh yeah, reagrding your yardsticks.. Pulsar is more into creating categories rather than competing with existing ones. Perhaps you remember when P150 came in it did wipe out competition, but for bikes such as P135LS/P200NS there is no competition as they are unique. On price, you may end up comparing with some bikes, but on performance you again need to look for a different set for comparision.

                    so can we expect the launch of 125 cc and 180 cc with similar design?
                    and the question remains why do i race?
                    every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

                    (:)people keeps on saying add spark to life, bajaj got hold of that idea and added an extra spark to bike.

                      Maybe the PuNS was tested with a KTMish Paint Job. Since everyone knew about the KTM, they could have easily gone about doing their testing undisturbed. The non-rear-disc variants were the ones they couldn't hide since they were actually different from the KTM in that regard.

                      ok, today morning when coming from pune to ammby valley city, i saw those two camouflaged pulsars being tested around 7:45 AM. one rider stopped and turned around and went other way so continued my chase of the other rider who was ahead of me. i was chasing him on my pulsar 150. My Observations are -
                      the bike was little bit quicker than my pulsar150. his accelaration was better than my P150, but not by a very big margin.
                      he was ripping his bike hard and i was having slight difficulty in keeping with him after 100 kmph (on my speedo) then achieved 105 kmph when we have to slow down for toll plaza. after which he went other way, and i was in a hurry to reach office, so couldn't follow him.
                      it seems either he was aware of me chasing him, since i was wearing riding gear or otherwise he was too determined not to let anyone catch him, coz he was riding like he is john abraham with abhishek bachchan chasing him in DHOOM.
                      so i think the bike i was chasing was not more than 150 CC. my guess though.

                      Why couldn't the 23.5 Ps bike just zoom away from PrinceSirohi's 13.5 Ps Pulsar 150 UG3?

                        Guys, you remember this ? ? ?

                        Hot News: Well the Pulsar's testing phase isnt over yet Just caught them testing today near corporation till Dehu road Pune at around 11am.

                        Hotter News: Had a test ride of around 6kms of the new pulsars.


                        And the Hottest News of all:

                        Ride Report:

                        Engine is of KTM 200cc.
                        0-60 acceleration is nearly same as of 220s.
                        Accelerated to 114 pretty fast. (It goes faster, I couldn't test the topspeed though due to traffic)
                        The gear box is different. So is the seating position.
                        The tank is quite big (i assume its for greater range)
                        I truly envy the lock set. Its just too good.
                        The petrol tank lid looked nearly the same as 220F's
                        The sprocket is much smaller than the KTM
                        I forgot to see if it was carbureted or another Fi. (Sorry)
                        I felt the handling somewhat like a Fazer but a little smaller.
                        I think cornering wouldn't be an issue in these.
                        Most importantly for Indian roads, they have an amazing ground clearance.
                        Additionally expect a price of 97k to 1.2L INR on road. (As per the riders and their test guru)

                        They did not allow me to peek-a-view of the bike under the cover
                        A "RIDE" by Utsav..!
                        Is that specs (BOLDED) came some what close to the actual product??

                        Seems to be good..!

                            Indian Market is not as mature as the European markets also there is no power limit (age-wise) in India(the very reason duke 125 was developed and restricted to 15ps).

                            The way i see it duke 125 or for that matter 125NS wont be launched in India(that's why we have the 200 twins)plus with 135LS selling in appreciable no's the only way Bajaj can bring 125NS is by shelving 135LS.Which would be the "TVS Victor" way.

                            What i though believe that the bike #princesirohi encountered could be new 135 with bored out 125 engine.that way you get better performance and u retain the segment.

                              Well, as I remember the KTMs were tested without the covers..so I guess those weren't PuNS. May be Bajaj tested this only on their track.

                              And I remember the zigwheels article saying that "this one(the one that Varad tested) was handcrafted and not mechanically fitted"..

                                Does this mean that these (200 NS) are not tested to it's maximum capacity ?
