    I don't think this is the complete pulsar. They could just be testing the engine and the mechanicals and so they've sent the bikes out with just its basic body parts and not the complete bike. They could have also just thrown on the p135 side indicators on for now so that they could still keep some suspense about the bike. But I'm really disappointed that they did not come up with a new brake lamp design, the present one is quite boring now.

        Although this pic looks not much good to me. May be its some Indian KTM bike. As Engine is of KTM.
        My bad, you are right. Whatever it is, big relief is that finally they are here and very much around the corner.

            I like what I see too.

            The bikes are heavily masked. Even the side and center body panels have some rexin like fabric stitched on to it..!! New design alloys, and chunky monoshock are welcome changes.

            The tank looks humongous and am I looking at a real radiator cover or just a decoy like the FZ. Also I do not see a usual down tube frame... so Trellis Frame..??

            Am getting a feeling that the new Pulsar would end up looking better than the KTM 200 Duke..!!

              I too believe it would look good in real without any cover.

              Although rear swing arm is not that good.

                That's how ALL the swingarms on ALL desi bikes look like (Including the FZ, Karizma, Current Pulsar, Old R15.. or any other desi bike) with the exception of the R15 V2.0 and KTM 125/200 Duke.

                Relax, its just the bare feeling that you are finding odd (because the chain cover, rear mud guard is absent on the test bikes).

                    No Bajaj logo on the engine at all ??
                    Did they plonk the KTM developed engine directly onto the bike ?

                        @payeng: More like the absence of a prominent exhaust that usually gets the attention away from the swing-arm on other bikes.

                        The shape looks good...but the exhaust, the wheels, the clutch cover and the suspiciously KTM like tank are a put off. I fear for too much being chopshopped off KTM that the pulsar might lose its identity or more importantly, the Duke200 might lose its uniqueness.

                          isnt the Pillion foot peg dangerously close to the riders?
                          anyway disappointed if its a 150cc i hope they use the KTM engines for the premium & high capacity bikes rather than the daily commuters.

                          Yep,final product should be having some fiber parts along which make it look beefier.

                            6. New tank design and side panels
                            7. Same tail panel

                            9. New headlamp
                            10. Rear mudguard removed(possibility for a rear hugger like the one on the r15v2.0)
                            11. New front mudguard.
                            12. New front disk design

                              Just checked out the 200 Duke. The Design of the Alloys and tank on the Duke and the new Pulsar that is seen in the pics is in fact different..!! The 200 Duke's tank is sharp and edgy, from the spy pics the new Pulsars tank seems to be more smooth and round.

                              If the KTM developed engine is being used then Yahoo..!! But surely the production ones won't have the "KTM Racing" engraved on the engine covers.
