here is some light to the pricing range and release dates

Bajaj Pulsar 350


Expected: Late-2013, Price: Rs 1.5 - 1.7 lakh, Channel: Locally Manufactured

Bajaj Auto has been working quite hard on the new Pulsar range and the 200NS is just a tip of the iceberg. Next in line is the biggest Pulsar of them all, a 375cc variant loosely based on the KTM 390 motor but minus some goodies for an attractive pricing. Although it will take a bit of a while for the Pulsar 350 to be in the market one can expect it to hit the Bajaj Auto dealerships by end 2013.

Always the one to beat the competition on the pricing front, expect the bigger Pulsar also to be priced competitively in the range of Rs. 1.5 - 1.8 lakh (ex-showroom), which will be a killer pricing for a 375cc machine. There will also be quarter-faired and fully faired variants of the new Pulsar that will eventually make their appearance at the Bajaj Auto dealerships in due course of time.

KTM 390 Duke

Expected: Early-2013 Price: Rs. 2.0 - 2.3 lakh Channel: Locally Manufactured


Well so the bigger Duke is all ready to hit the Indian roads by April 2013. Expect the bookings to open by March 2013 and the price will be somewhere in the region of Rs. 2.0 - 2.3 lakh (ex-showroom). The bike has been in the news for long and there are a lot of bikers out there who have been waiting for a good 350-400cc machine to venture into the Indian market and the KTM 390 Duke will do just that. Bringing affordable performance to the power-hungry yet cash-strapped motorcycle enthusiasts in the country.

Boasting a strong and revvy 373.2cc single cylinder engine, the 390 Duke will pump out 44Ps of power and 35Nm of torque while weighing just about 139kg (dry) resulting in phenomenal power-to-weight ratio which means it will continue to offer blisteringly quick acceleration while returning decent fuel economy.

I havent seen any test bikes still. I am closest to the Bajaj Chakan Plant and would spot any such bike.

Be cautious.... always ride with a mobile cam

Keep them eyes peeled. You might spot one soon enough, or let's hope so.

Lol..yeah, One does not simply leave without cam.!!!

Bajaj wanted to create a storm like the CBR250R thread did in XBHP. XBHP almost crashed that time. Can't say the same about this thread.

Do you guys think this bike will beat the CBR 250? Because that is the ultimate aim at Bajaj right now.

Powerdrift = BAL [Or is there some hidden nexus between the two]..??


The last time xBhp "actually" crashed because of high traffic was on Jan 30 2012 [when the Pulsar 200NS was launched]


No body is even sure if the "Scoop" is genuine.. it could well be a mod job.


Forget about speculating whether this will beat model A or Model B. Online behavior have changed.. These days senseless / baseless speculations aren't the hot topic as it used to be 2-3 years back.

+1 payeng, i too think its a mod job

i think the front disk units could be a temporary set up(taken from the upcoming duke 390's parts bin) for the testing phase as, p200ns also had similar looking discs on its testing phase taken from the duke 200's parts bin. And i think this ew pulsar will come with ABS as standard \ atleast as an option as if you look closely i thik its an ABS equipped disc units as the inner circle if you observe carefully has those groves or that particular design with holes on the discs near to the central hub. So i think we could get a bit more tech laden machine here unlike the advanced yet basic p 200ns.
@Rahulbarik yes me too think that the front tyres could very well be a 110 section if not even a 120 section...and yeah i too wish the new p375 also follows the line of supersports machines in a light way and there by manage to keep itself on a strict diet unlike p 200ns which i thought of being on a diet after seeing what bajaj had done with the p135 compared to their old discover 135...

As beating is concerned a speculated 30-40% power increment(32-35 ps) from a 40% bigger engine at more or less same price range would be cool with respect to engine performance and market positioning.

This is a simple logic. Nobody did a test video of Pulsar 200NS like Power to the Rider/Powerdrift. Hence they get a special privilege with Bajaj.


I didn't know that.



This modifier has some serious skills with panel making. Industry specific class-a surfaces are visible.


Completely agree with this point. Yamaha and TVS have disappointed beyond belief with speculations. People will believe now only when they see the model in real.


Again, the panels look too high quality for a modifier. Google Class-A surface.


Whereas beating CBR250R is concerned, Bajaj has that in mind since a long time. I would like to proved wrong though.

Why don't we just wait till the product is out? I don't want to be a part of the bandwagon creating too much hype (its not bad as long as its true or lives up to it). I feel it would be hell of a lot better if we could have these serious discussions after its out.

At that rate we should be getting all the bikes that we had reviewed till now. Is that the case? Nope :P
Heck, both the Ninja 650s that we reviewed were from friends.. so much for a special "privileges" from Bajaj or any manufacturer.. he he!
Like they say, Truth is stranger than fiction... !

When you do thing differently and better, it happens. keep up the great work.

wrong on both counts

[QUOTE=nitrosatya;912943]not true -- infact would be opposite


quite true-- this is how the bike would be definitely with minor variation between pre-production & production bikes

No comments on the design as of now, but Yellow+Blue combo? Seriously ?
