    I agree it would translate into an increase in sales but it would harm the "premium" Pulsar brand for sure.

    Moreover, if this is an indication of the bigger Pulsar series getting revamped, than its for sure, a good news!
    Yes.. HHs dominance in that commuter segment!
    Pulsar brand can still be the most VFM with a LOT of features in every category na.... they just need to position this pretty well....
    So a commuter category pulsar with all the frills, but VFM
    and a Premium Category Pulsar, with all the frills, but VFM

      If Firebug is installed with your firefox, it will be much easier to find any details containing the web page. Just check the attached image. Just my 2 cents.

        Almost Similar to Unicorn's Bhp ratings(13.5Ps).Seems the commuter segment will see some good competition.

            They seem to think there are hardly any power bikers in 100crore population for them to make enough Gandhi's...

              That was just a guess for P135, wait for specs, it might beat Unicorn !!

                If the figures that you have quoted are true, then the Unicorn will surely get beaten fair and square.In fact the unicorn has a 13.5 Ps output which would be almost equal to or less than 13 bhp.

                  But I feel Indian market and Foreign market can not be compared head on but still your statement does make sense.

                  Everything is good which sells!

                  Pricing would ideally be in the Discovers range but considering the fact that Bajaj regards Pulsar as its flagship brand, they might price it at a 1-2k premium.

                  Its not just that, the "smaller" bike has to have the essence of its "elder brothers".. despite being limited just to 15 Ps (thanks to European licensing laws), the YZF R125 still somehow manages to keep its "Super Sport" essence alive.. despite having a smaller heart.

                  the Honda CBF 125 (another 125 cc selling in Europe), (which is the same CBF Stunner PGM-FI in India) cannot be called a Honda Super Sport can it..??


                  From what is visible from the teaser site, this new Pulsar definitely seems to have the "Pulsar" essense at least in the Looks dept... now will have to wait if this bike can also pack in the Pulsar punch.

                          Yes, the split seat is very much visible in the photo published at motoroids... the tank is totally masked though.

                          From the teaser site, the profile of this new bike is quite "Pulsar-ish".

                              THE TANK LOOKS LIKE A DISCOVER
                              Damn there goes the difference between the segments
                              Will Not Buy Another Pulsar if this is a 135

                                Well not just the source but the image itself says that its truly the SPRINT 135 that was showcased at the auto expo. IT has the same tyre hugger at the rear + the short sporty handle + the arrangment of the footpegs is similar to its big siblings + the bigger disc in the front.
                                Voila ! The SPRINT is here.
