i dont know what to say for this, he just sent in Email
sadly i dont want to comment on this bike much
as i own an fz16, i did not like the headlight at all
but the rear mud guard is a good idea

Nice writeup dude, now read this:
Ninjas (Karizma's -- most exclusive bike)
> Difference b/w lowest cc and highest cc is 1105cc (<10cc)
> Difference b/w basic and top model is whole 'two' cylinders (ZERO)
> Difference in top speed b/w basic and top model is about 150 kmph (5-10kmph)
> Ninjas have evolved over 25+ years and are best known performance bikes in the world (6 or 10 years, 1 model, 4 upgrades, with no major upgrade till the last one where they had to do because of competition ...............)

FYI: this competition was started with Pulsar and kept rising to another level because of pulsars.

Exactly ... bang on to the last bit

Exactly.. then wont the Karizma 250 owners crib, sayin they are loosin exclusivity because of current ZMA?? we need to appreciate bajaj for deliverin quality bikes across the segments and price range.

FYKI, XCD 125 was still in production even after 135 was launched. It was phased out only a few months after that.

Here, no upgrading and no downgrading is involved, my friend.

Bajaj just chose to name its XCD Sprint as "Pulsar 135". They are trying to milk the Pulsar brand as much as possible. Bajaj is looking at the larger crowd. Remember when the Disco 100 was launched, similar cribbing happened. But what did the Disco 100 give Bajaj ? Volumes and volumes. Get the picture now?

il think 5times before buying a bajaj product now .........they killed P200 N now are pissing on its Grave

And i will not be suprised if HH sacks their R&D and hire stickering guys and karol bagh modifiers in place of them

ROFL

Does HH have an R&D team in the first place?

What is that you are trying to prove here?

Who told you that product was XCD sprint or something else which is named P135?
You can blame Bajaj because they showed some concept with some name and launched something on that line with name, but I can't blame some coveted bike manufacturer because they never had any CONCEPT shown ... this is too much. People have problem that Bajaj named something different based on some platform P135, what about companies who name same thing on same platform painted in different color combination differently ..
I would say - I still prefer first one who is cashing on one brand name while other one is just fooling customers. In fact you should have blamed Bajaj if they had named bored P150 a P180 or something like that.

right on....even before the p220 dtsi people were telling they have p150 or p180 or p200...its nothing new...and people are saying downgrade and all...but recently bajaj launched the p220 dtsi so now they have stopped thinking about the higher segment for now cause they are in top position with the new 220 and also worked their asses off for the ninja....now they are concentrating the lower segments...

if i was a businessman i would certainly do what these guys were doing...its correct business sense....bajaj aint our relative to feel sorry for giving new products top line goodies and coax us for not getting them because we alreadt bought a product before...all business man.its upto us to buy the product or not...if you want those parts,buy them from your own pocket and install them...

i dont know why everyone is so hell bent in proving bajaj is a cheating degrading company when its trying so hard to improve its quality of products and also in every aspect,be it the backlight switch console or any other goodies,bajaj brought them first and then later after seeing market response other companies are doing the same...its bajaj which is experimenting and taking every risk...


today while going home i was behind a car and thanx to the bloddy ****ed up roads of hyderabad,i have gone over 3 potholes(sewer holes) straight...i immediatedly set the bike on middle stand and checked the rims and tyres....Awesommmm...not even a slight dent...if my fz would have been there,my rims would have surely cracked or bent..i just gained a new respect for my bike today

Hey Mr, Are you some villager who is a complete illitrate at bikes??? To me you look like a knowledgable guy, why do you crib about bajaj so much?? Please spare this thread, go find orkut for your bashings..
You tell me one thing, will you buy a bike to only flaunt about it in front of others or only because of exclusivity??? Bikes are meant to serve a purpose, come on its not a god damn R1 or a Busa to flaunt in front of others...
Will you go stand in a traffic signal and say "ye dekho mera karishmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa????"
AFAIK, only an illiterate does that and not a knowledgable guy and an xbhpian will never do that becase each bike has some special characteristic which other bike cannot match and we all know that.. This will nowhere dent the pulsar image.. I still refer my bike as P180 and atleast my friends wont ask me oh is it a pulsar??? with a shitty face...

heres another

HH has no RnD, they buy tech from Honda directly. Why people are so fascinated at the word RnD ? There can be good RnD (doing good job) or equally bad RnD (wasting money and doing nothing worthwhile)...

Sometimes its not just a product, but the brand or family that product comes from that becomes more important.

Just to put things into perspective, iPod- One of my favorite brand.

There might be a "Shuffle", a "Nano" or the "iPod Classic"... all of them posses its own characteristic and at the same time retains the common element that they belong to the iPod family.

Anybody who buys a "shuffle" or a "nano", gets it for its function and also because of the "BRAND - iPod".

I've never heard an R1 owner getting frustrated to see R15 because both has the same name
So why does an Pulsar owner getting frustrated to see a smaller pulsar......

May be he thinks himself he owns a High speed machine??? and doesnt want the Commuters to use to same name of his machine....

After all everything is motorbike....
Even an 100cc Star is called as a motorbike and a 1300cc Busa is also called as a Motorbike yaar.....

Can the Mods change the Topic as New Pulsar 135cc .....
