Oh!! then Bajaj has tampered with the digi dash this time... Good move i say coz all the 150 owners were complainin that they cant take the bike more than 115kmph.. while the manual mentions 120kmph as the top speed... now i guess it can touch even the magical 125 kmph (of course on dash)

how's the DC ligting MG?? is it helpful? does the 150 still comes with 35w halogen?

One of my friends who owns a P200 remarked to me that if the P200 was to be given a new look then it better look like the classic Pulsar with round headlamps. Then it can be the MT-01 while the P220 can play around being the R1. I found myself agreeing since the P200 has always had the streetfighter image and what could be better than brute looks to match its brute power?

P.S.: Dont mind the analogy.

It's probably the most common mod I see in Trivandrum .
200's with the entire console and headlamp removed and with a(sometimes 2) tiny chromed domes in front.The stay is always stamped steel that looks like some kinda trellis.
Kinda looks good too. Except for the lack of any kind of meters

ya truly....as far as the pulsar ug3's are concerned they r the most accurate....i saw one vid on youtube.....one guy ripped r15 till 145k's...i wonderd how could one 150cc machine can do that without any mods...??

Deep : coz by paying 6000 all you get is 20cc more. Is it worth it? There aint much of a difference in overall performance as well (between the new 180 and old 200). plus dont forget that the 180 gets more goodies like wider forks and clip ons!

There is a noticeable difference in a 200 and a 180, especially the grunt low down on revs.
The 200 pulls away in the fifth cog easily from the older 180s.
The newer 180 is definitely better looker than the old 180. But I still think the silver exhaust of the 200/220 is a wonderful plus point for the bigger siblings.

The cycle parts from the 180 have been changed but for the 150 its the same as before. Just the all-black theme. That means Bajaj must have been tinkering around with the speedo, making it more optimistic? Or maybe its just a one off case. But then its a brand new 150.....

God! Another new variant of the Pulsar series? What is the need of the P200 carb as well as P200 FI?

If the P200 carb is removed and 220 is tweaked - design as well as performance wise, then the portfolio looks ok to me. It will mean the whole Pulsar series has been updated for 2009 (even if some models do not get any performance upgrades).

Looks like, Bajaj is run by a bunch of Bhelpuri waalas. meetha, medium- meetha, X-tra meetha,kum-Teekha, medium teekha, full teekha) ROFLMAO

@ current 200 owners:

no words!!!

if the new 180 is selling for more price than the current 180, it could have been a wiser decision to adopt some technology from the bigger pulsars like oil cooler and fi instead of all this. just my personal thought!!

and to think I bought my P200 a month ago

Maybe the 200's got the 220's quarter fairing and rear disk brake......

hey i just heard that 09 pulsar 200' is coming with a rear disc break and itz not getting any fairing,,,,i'll confirm it by tomorow....itz nude like fz 16..

The new 200 will also be in PBK showrooms by 1st week of May. The 180 is already in some PBK showrooms

**pk28.karthik** · 04-30-2009, 12:43 PM

bajaj is running out of strategies and trying all sorts.
And to top it off the makeup of 150,180 and 200 seems like they are trying to graduate it out to old age home.
Bring back hamara bajaj theme and you are game on bajaj

Looks like local PBK showroom.

BTW, I received an SMS from "TM-BAJAJ" to checkout new Pulsar 2009 edition on 1-3 May at a given place in Pune. Looks like I'll be busy on 1st may taking pictures.
