Its a modified P135. Its sure different from regular P135. Not the next generation.

and zigwheels is a more reliable source,.,.,
they clearly stated that the spypics are of pulsar 125 while bigger capacity versions are ready for launch

I think so. It'll be a <150 cc engine. Maybe 135 or 125...!

this is what i clearly stated above bro,.,.,with a link of the source tooo

New Bajaj Pulsar range coming soon!| Zigwheels.com

Okay.... thanks for the link.
A 125 seems too low... but hoping its bhp and torque are high, like r15 150cc and 17bhp..!

ya now its pretty much clear that the first bike to be launched will be less than 150 CC, since

• already we know KTM 200 is gonna launch, and BAl will not like to have a Pulsar200 and KTM200 sporting same engine.
• from the spy picks it is clear that engine is KTM, and since it is not 200 CC engine it has to be 125 CC KTM engine
• this also is supported by the fact that KTM125 is not launched here in india, and rightly since in india it will be difficult to sell a 125 CC bike at a premium.
• so bajaj might use the engine as it is i.e. 125 CC on a chasis designed with the help of KTM or bore it to 135 CC, so that new 135 CC replaces the existing P135.

so, the next question is when will other pulsar be launched like P150/160/180/200/220/250- whatever it is.

hope the bigger siblings also come in soon,.,.,but the article slightly hinted that its bigger siblings are ready and may come in soon,.,.,(maybe in the auto expo itself)
hope bigger ones come in soon,.,.,els 1 customer desperately waiting for it will buy a CBR this januray

Hold your horses. From the pics it is clear that it is liquid cooled, very similar to KTM. It does not mean it is the same used in Duke 200. Nor does it mean it the same used in Duke 125.

At this point I am leaning towards what Bike India mentioned...i.e. The New Pulsar will be sporting a new SOHC liquid cooled engine with twin sparks. This means it is different from Duke's 200/125. Though it may look similar to KTM engine due to liquid cooling. It can also mean Bajaj has developed a new engine jointly deveoped with KTM for the pulsar with its trademark twin sparks.

This has already launched...this is new batch P135s and P220s.

I dond think so. Its a Modified Pulsar 135 bro.

No no...just FYI, the new batch came with new paint scheme only. i.e half red and half black.

My Quick Tryst with Rajiv Bajaj

In my efforts to raise funds for my company, I did the unthinkable - I participated in a reality show that funds the winner startup. The journey has been good so far. Each week, of the 10 contestants,one is eliminated. I am still standing after 4 weeks, and hope to go as far as possible

The 4th episode was judged by Rajiv Bajaj - It was an awesome experience interacting with him, and EVERYONE of the contestent were blown away by whole experience. We were amazed by the focus, clarity of thought and expression and a genuinely good personality. There was no air of superiority or swagger that even a moderately successful personality sports nowadays. He was leading a company close to 16,000 Cr topline, and it was an absolutely humbling experience to find out how he went about his work with absolute sense of purpose. I was genuinely surprised to know about his management style that derives from Yoga and Homeopathy! (a different post on that, later!)

As the show was getting setup, I had good 10 mins to interact with Rajiv, and I used the opportunity to the max to get some 'insider' information on Bajaj

[SVI] DTSi is your flagship product. Do you think DTSi can scale multi-cylinder scenarios?

[RB]DTSi can definitely work in multi-cylinder scenarios. Our R&D is already working on such scenarios. It may not be an inline twin. But you can see some updates from us going forward

[SVI] Do you have the ability to scale beyond your current 220 cc offerings? Or, do you leave the market over 250 cc to Kawasaki and KTM?

[RB] We have schemes to create Pulsars with displacements from 150 cc all the way up to 750 cc! We don't have any technological challenges / hurdles in scaling up to 750cc. Our R&D already has some work done in this area

[SVI] When can we expect the next launch of Pulsars?

[RB] You should expect them very soon, even before March timeframe. You'll be very happy with the new list of features and a vastly improved platform.

[SVI] Should I start saving money?

[RB] The price points are in such a way that you don't need to save that much money!

[SVI] You launched FI with P220, and then you went back to Carb. Don't you think it is a step backward for Bajaj?

[RB] In smaller displacement bikes, the role of the FI is limited. It might help you while starting the bike on a cold day. Otherwise, a carb and FI do the samething - Help mix air and fuel mix. However, if I am able to save 10K - 15K INR by going back to carb and pass on the benefits back to the end-customer, that would place the product very attractively. P220-DTS FI was selling like 500-600 bikes a month. After we released the DTSi version (fastest Indian), we sell like 5000 bikes a month. This makes sense for the company.

[SVI] What about higher displacement bikes from the Pulsar range?

[RB] For 250cc and higher offerings, they'll have FI be default. We can't and will not use carbs there.


[SVI] What is the arrangement with KTM?

[RB] The Duke 125 is completely done in our plant here and is exported to European market. We'll be launching them here too

[SVI] What model of Duke are you planning to launch? Is it the 200?

[RB] Yes. We'll first launch the Duke 200 here. It is an awesome bike and it will shake up the market

[SVI] What is its power output? Should I sell my Honda CBR?

[RB] The bike produces close to 25 BHP. It is an awesome bike and it will beat CBR in all aspects. CBR is a pretty heavy bike close to 163 kgs. Duke 200 is close to 139 kgs. So, you can expect much higher power-to-weight ratio. You should probably shift

I told Rajiv that I was member of Team-BHP and he also passed on his email ID (in confidence ) to ask further questions and he'd be glad to answer. One of the girls in the competition was TOTALLY floored by him - Little does she know that I was, as well!....

found this on team-bhp...
acc to this chat pulsar will not go below 150cc.....thats fine but now rajiv bajaj is talking about launching it before march.....this is irritating me....but the good thing is....KTM duke 200 will beat CBR in all aspects as per rajiv bajaj

NOW MARCH!!!!!!!!! This is friggin irritating!!!!!!!!

@Naveen :- thanks for posting.

But I am surprised the guy who asked the question did not know this One interesting thing is RB says, close to 25 BHP, does it mean they have detuned it.

I guess it is safe to say that the Duke will not be putting out 25bhp
Whenever somebody talks about the "higher power to weight ratio" it just means that the bike isnt as powerful as the competitor but weighs less and can keep up with it
Just like when the R15 was introduced with 17bhp and it was lightweight. Everybody applauded the power-to weight ratio of the bike which helped it to keep up with its 220cc rivals
