The Bajaj Pulsar ais quite compelling choices in the 100cc plus category. It is class-leading fit and finish quality and offer the twin benefits of higher power and better mileage.
The Bajaj Pulsar four-stroke engine that offers a max power of 12bhp at 8,500 rpm. Both the bikes feature five-speed gearboxes, digital (CDI) microprocessor-based ignition systems and five-step adjustable type rear suspension.
The Pulsar is the slightly heavier bike with a kerb weight of 132 kg. The Pulsar's wheelbase is quite ideal for grip on road. The longer front fork and suspension has added length, and thereby increases stability and improves cornering ability.
Pulsar is the surprise design package from Bajaj, which has not displayed any such fashionable leanings in its previous bikes.
The Pulsar's styling sure makes a statement on the road. The large curvaceous fuel tank, which can hold a massive 18 litres, and the tall stance gives the Pulsar the looks of a much more powerful bike. The Pulsar is clearly the better looker among all bike of its class.
Our choice will be the Pulsar DTSi 150 ES. If you were considering the original Pulsar 150, our suggestion will be to stretch your budget by another two or three grand and upgrade to the DTSi.
The Pulsar DTSi 150cc ES is priced at Rs 51,000 plus, ex-showroom. Disc brakes and self (electric) start are standard fitment in the DTSi.
I have to buy yet this bike but certainly no other choice.
