Red Devil, I dunt think that 30 zma's sold by on ur dealer is a record of any sort. Pulsar sales are much higher than this. Sah and Sanghi mumbai showroom delivers Pulsars in hundreds by the month. Bajaj recorded 27,426 Pulsar sales this September itself. Sah and Sanghi will be delivering 80 Pulsars on Dassera day while Prakash Auto is delivering 35 Pulsars on that one day itself::::REFER:::: http://www.rediff.com/money/2003/oct/01bajaj.htm

And lastly I dont think ZmA225's sales have affected p180's sales in any possible way. P180 had caused severe harm to CBZ sales after its launch.

Just making a point dude....pleeez dont take it as an offence or an anti ZMA post as myself along with many members of this site love the ZMA just as u or any other ZMA owner does.

ALL WE DONT LIKE IS THE PRICE

have to say ur right on track.

Dunno for how long :-(

Walking 2kms for every damn thing I need and the annoying sky high auto fares are killing me.

Plus its a real PITA to go office and even more coming back.

Will somebody go to BAL with a 9mm and make them release this bike ?

PS. Is the delay purely marketing stunt (fear of cannibalizing existing stock) or there are technical problems as well ?
From the marketing perspective, I can see what BAL has put itself into. If they release this new variant, they instantly make the existsing stock of P150/P180 unsellable, thus shooting themselves in foot. And considering that this is festival season and Pulsar is selling handsomely, I doubt they will dare to release the new baby in the middle of festival season.

Lets hope that it comes out atleast till Diwali.

Hi Glifford , Aspirin I have come across a good news for u guys,
and of course this is for me too as I m also desperately waiting for
180 DTSi.
The news is its gonna be out within the week - before diwali

,
I confirmed this with 3 sales guys, they r officially silent because there lots are getting cleared up fast especially 150s n why will they want to hurt that they are saying its gonna be there before diwali.

(I am saying what has been said to me in person - its not officially out[?])

**darius_b** · 10-05-2003, 03:46 PM

The guys at the Mumbai showroom told me the same thing. They said that even if its delayed or something, it wont stretch till November or December, the launch will take place in October itself.

**jaspreets** · 10-05-2003, 03:46 PM

forgot to mention, too excited you know

The showroom I visited was Wakedwadi,Pune.

**rash_rp** · 10-05-2003, 09:02 PM

Calm down guys !!!! The DTSi comes 2-3 days b4 Diwali, or maybe even by the 15th. Saw a brand new red P150 DTSi today ( with all the bikini fairing and stuff ). It was bought by someone through an insider in Bajaj. My source today told me that all the main problems with the launch have been sorted out, and the bike is noow ready to b launched. most probably by the 15th this month.

So all u ppl now stop crying, and get ready to book ur ~~babe~~ oops STUD.

**maugli** · 10-06-2003, 05:05 PM

Thanks "Jspreets" , "Darius" anf of course to our special agent [8D] "rash_rp".

**cable** · 10-06-2003, 05:24 PM

I was online today to tell you guys the one of the dealers in my city said that its going to be launched on the 10th of this month.He also added that he was in pune and checked out the bike himself and it(the DTSi )promised to beat the ZMA but did not agree to comment further.

According to this month's Overdrive issue, in a 0-100-0 drag race (4 iterations to remove "chance" effects), Pulsar 180 DTSi beats ZMA hands down. Its also the stoppie champ (thats surprizing given its smaller radius disk brake... but probably lower weight compensates for that... P180 is almost 20kg lighter than ZMA)... but ZMA and CBZ are better at handling (The japanese are experts at the black art of handling). Pulsar can be compared to powerful rowdy horse.

The only bike that betters P180 DTSi is.... Aquila !

And I do think that however bozo the Overdrive guys might be called, they do are experienced bike handlers.

So, for now, ZMA is *the* luxury sports bike and Pulsar is Performance/Price champ in under 1 lakh segment.

So, if you've got your daddy's money, go ahead and buy a ZMA.

But, if you've got your *own* identity and your *own* money (that *you* earned), go for a P180 DTSi.
