    That would/should happen only if the new generation can/will be priced on the same level as the current ones.

      First check out your future and then say something.

      Bajaj is not going to do a plastic or sticker mod job on bikes that they need to remove the old stock first. Its not Hero Moto!

      And if the new bikes are completely new... both will stay.. and the newer ones are surely gonna be of higher rate.

      And thus people with less money will go with earlier pulsars...

        I am not assuming that new gen will not be costlier, i am providing both scenarios. And both ways its not possible...
        Its not feasible for a company to maintain 2 product line at 5-6 % price difference. And if its ~20% it has to be positioned as a different brand... Its not about wishes, it about business...

          It's pretty much possible and there are number of examples, just look around!!

                  very well said +100 and more so if you see at bajaj history all previous versions were discontinued like Caliber,Discover, Pulsar,Boxer etc... and it's actually good to keep products latest..

                    never heard Discovers and pulsars discontinued... be specific .. it might be particular versions not as a whole product

                    the new pulsars when ever they come .. will again redefine the two wheeler segment. and as many said yes the old models will co-exists for some time .. and then will be phased out... so theoretically speaking both u and digital_surabhi are right

                    now the main interesting thing here is ..something Rajiv bajaj said ..like some ground breaking tech in engine first time in the world .. i am eagerly waiting to know wt it is .. although in anycase i won't buy pulsar..as i already made up my mind for something else.. still i am curious about the proposed changes in the new pulsars

                      Name some....

                      It doesn't happens any where in the world to keep an existing and a new version of a product in 5-6% price range...

                      Its always good have new refreshing products making way thru existing products. All companies do it around the world...

                          Refreshing models are a good option,but Bajaj does it too often.

                            The current Pulsar's have been like that for a decade now. Just minor tweaks. They can't be a HH and keep using the same 100cc Honda engine with new stickers for a century.

                                Come again? Minor tweaks?!

                                DTSi, DTSF-i, from 150/180 to 220, tubeless tires, digital console, 3 piece handlebar, rear disc brake, oil cooled,to name some; list is endless, most of them being segment first. I respect Bajaj for the R&D. No other auto maker in India does as much as they do.
