I must say that first impression is NOT always the last impression. I also had this impression when I was riding a Hero Honda and thought that Pulsars are utter crap, only to realize that I was so so wrong about it. Today I ride a Pulsar 200 for near to 4 years now and every day when I fire the engine I feel that there's so much more left.

Today Pulsar engines are as good as any. No doubt that there's a lot of work that's still needs to be done specially on the chassis, over the past almost 4 years now, I never had one single reliability, quality or fuel efficiency issue. It all boils down to how you handle and keep up your bike and how well you did the run in. There's a common belief about Pulsars (and I don't know from where it originated) that if you have a Pulsar, then you can start banging the baby from day one. I'm telling this based on what I see people doing with their new Pulsars. Then that same I see at the service center with their machines with a looooong list of issues they are facing. It's not the bike's or manufacturer's fault. If you ill-treat a R1 it would happen the same with it too (of course you need to be alive to take her to the service center after treating her bad )

But the point is, it's a grand dad's myth today that Pulsars have reliability, quality and fuel efficiency issues.

Well said!!!!
BTW hope you enjoy your ride the same another 4 years or more

I'm planning to buy a pulsar around summer.
with the new stuff comin up,
1>will the old pulsars still be available? yes
2>will there be a price hike? not in existing models
3>will there be any power/mileage improvements? in new models yes there will be definitely power and mileage improvements
4>with 250 coming up, will there still be 220? yes since 200 is already out of production.....220 will continue..

Really??!!
will the old models still be available??!
ten will ter be two versions of each CCs?(the 150, 180, 220)?

ter r already two p220s(220s and 220f)....will ter gonna be a new one?

Question,Is it confirmed that it is going to be a 250cc pulsar itself or can we go on speculating about the capacity of the engine?

AFAIK the engine its going to be 4 valve and the new pulsar is going to be completely re-engineered including styling cues from pulsar 135, thats all we know right?

Whom are you trying to reason with bro?

i think there is still some speculation left about engine capacity. if a 250 CC is gonna look like a bigger P135, i might not like it, coz i like only fully faired bikes. i would like it to be a fully faired twin headlight (vertically or horizontally stacked), monoshock, wider soft compount tyres and hardcore performance oriented bike. but then that my personal opinion.



no i was talking about P250 if thats what is coming......otherwise if new pulsars are in 150, 180 and 220 CC categories, than definetely old, i mean current ones will be phased out.

And I hope the spares cost will be low like before.
