Update Car Motorcycle

Pulsar 135 with its predecessor's name is not worthless when compared with other bikes of its segment.

Pulsar 135 Engine is from Discover 135(old) though there are many upgrades which just brings the bike to the peak of performance. Out of which, i would say the best upgrade was the four-valved engine which provides the bike a better output than we think from a tiny 135cc engine.

First when i started the bike, it was just like XCD engine, but still i could find the difference in the Exhaust sound which sounded something rebellious. Since it was my first ride with Pulsar135 i don't wanted to clock top speed. But once i started my ride smoothly, i shocked to see my bike crossing 65kmph at no efforts. The bike's vibration slightly disturbed me that am driving fast(other pulsars will disturb gradually) . (Vibrations are not like XCD that's really cool). Actually i should not compare it with any of the 125cc or 135cc bikes. Its worthy to be compared with 150cc bikes.

The bike is very light and also carries a small engine tank unlike other pulsar, due to this Kutti (Chotta) pulsar, can rock the roads easier due to lessr weight that it carries.

About pickup, the pulsar135 has a good pickup. Am able to reach 0-60kmph within in 6 secs (with the third gear when crossing 60). the sound that was produced was reduced much in this bike. But i feel that the foot rest gives me more vibratin compared to our bigger pulsars.

Seating position is also good but i dont think that this bike will suit tall guys (say above 5'10''). However the clipon handles and the engine soop will make you feel definitely that you are on a race. So commuters drive carefully.

Smaller front suspensions used in Pulsar 180UG-3, Pulsar 150 UG-3&4, was used in this bike, since the bike weighs only 122Kgs, also it will be best suited.

Other than that arrogant looks, Excellent top speed (111kmph) were also the features that will knock your heart.

Speifications:

• Engine Dsplacement : 134.6cc
• Engine Type : 4 Stroke, Air Cooled, 4 - valved
• Output Power : 13.5Bhp@9000rpm
• Engine Torque : 11.4nm@7500rpm
• Gear : 5 Speed gear box
• Fuel Tank : 8Ltrs (XCD)
• Weight : 122Kgs
• TopSpeed : 115kmph

Hope the bike would disturb both 125cc and 150cc bike segment.

Expecting more and more outcomes interms of innovation and technology.

The New Bajaj Pulsar 220 DTS-i, the all new name of the Bajaj's power packed series of Entry Level Sport bike.

Again the Pulsar has become the leader overtaking its international branded competitor YAMAHA.

Actually, it was bajaj who changed the carburetor Engine into Fuel injected engine, which is too costly and the fuel injector was prepared by Delphi. Hence this replacement of carburetor instead of Fi has saved lots and lots of money along with that Si was an already available technology which also contributed lesser R&D expenses. So the bike was priced less than INR 71,000(which is a steal for Indian youths)

In the latest P220, pulsar had implemented its own carburetor Engine with its equipped technology of swirled induction, which was implemented in tiny 125 and 135cc engines.

The new carburetor which is quick larger than other carburetors provided the bike extra speed and with a better mileage.

The only constraint is pick up of P220Fi is slightly missing in new P220, but the top speed which even crosses 140 gradually is considered to be the best part and makes it a Fastest Indian.

I have decided my next bike. Have you???

The Sprint model bikes of Bajaj has a new comer called "Blade" with an good combination of Ultimate racing style with excellent power in its category.


Even though it falls under scooter category. Power, Looks, Style, Top speed makes it a worthy competitor for top 125cc bikes in India.


Blade has the cutting edge technology too. Designed in advanced aerodynamics for extra comfort when driving in wind roads.

Specifications:

1. Engine Capacity: 125cc
   
2. Engine Type: 4-stroke DTSi Engine
   
3. Output Power: 20bhp@6000rpm
   
4. Engine Torque: N/A
   
5. Weight: 163 kgs
   
6. Tank Capacity: 14.5 Ltrs
   
7. Gear: Automatic gear

Pros:

1. Top Speed: >105 kmph
2. 12" Alloy wheels
3. Robust styling
4. Aggressive looks

Cons:

1. Analogue speedometer and tacho meter
2. Lower mileage

The Bike is best for the people who need to have an bike without gear and still wanted to enjoy high speeds.

Have comfort!!! Have Speed!!! Have Power!!! Have Bajaj Blade!!!

Specifications:

1. Engine Capacity: 74.2cc
2. Engine Type: 2 Stroke, petrol
3. Output Power: 4.5Bhp @6000rpm
4. Engine Torque: 5.5nm @4500rpm
5. weight : 83kgs
6. Gear: 3 manual
7. Fuel Capacity : 4 Ltrs
   
8. Top Speed: 70kmph
9. Mileage : 55-60kmpl
   

the most noticeable feature is the bike has only 3 Gears but still it is considered to be the best with awesome 5.5nm @ just 4500rpm.

also due to lesser weight of the bike, it is easy for us to handle the bike.

Also spare time to view the best ad that you can view on M80. It was around 1993-1994, the ad was sung by most of the people in TamilNadu.

The person who still drives the bike is more lucky and still he would feel that excellent crunch of the bike while changing its gears.

Dear Visitors,

It gives me immense pleasure for me to present you with the User review of Pulsar 135 LS, The smallest yet another rebellious Pulsar. Pulsar 135 LS has over taken all the bikes including Japanese motorcycles of Yamaha, Suzuki and Honda.

Review by J.Keerthi Vaasan

Hi people, i bought my bike on 13th FEB 2010 and i will share my experience with you bikers.As of now i have completed 1000 km & had finished one service.The review part has been divided into 4 categories:Looks, Performance, Handling, Comfort.

1)Looks:Ppl will like the front and side profile.but many gets turned off by the rear esp the tyre hugger(even i do).But it's there to comply with the norms.I also don't like the rear lamp taken from xcd135.I loved the one shown in xcd sprint concept.If bajaj had installed those it wud have completely revamped Ls rear profile by a huge margin.Also the side scoops given in sprint concept wouldd have greatly accentuated the Ls tank by giving it a big bike feel had they given it here.
Overall,with aggressive front & side, and radical rear. its up to u to decide.I bought it coz i am wont be looking at the rear when i am in the bike.So fine with me.

2)Performance:Houses a very rev happy engine.Strain free even at 100km/hr on solo ride.4 valve enhances both performance and efficiency of engine when compared with others(like xcd 135,disco 135) in its segment.The engine exhibits dual nature.maintain it within 4k Rpm mark(around 50 km/hr mark) engine behaves calm stress & vibe free which u wont find in bigger pulsars(P.S:i am not hyping it as being butter smooth like unicorn,GS150 but when compared to its bigger bros this thing is definitely smooth), or rev hard engine gives u pulsar grunt and accelerates from the word go.Of course there is vibes but at a particular speed range typically from 70-80 km and then from 100 km.Elsewhere its stress free.
Braking is done by 240mm front disc & 110 mm drum.overall these two do more than a fine job of stopping the bike from high speeds.(Overdrive performance specs)
0-60km _ 5.5 sec
0-100km_ 17.8sec
60-0km _ 2.5 sec

All these in real world translates into peppy rev free engine ready to blast at flick of wrist amidst heavy city traffic.
Overall a POCKET ROCKET

3)Handling:As This bike is very light(122 kg) it lends a very light nimble feel ready to throw into corners.It turns sharp and deep and confidence inspiring...
However to aid in this nimble nature, the rear suspension is made a little stiff.Hence it feels little hard over pot holes..but those who wont flick their bike much & do regular driving can set their suspension to a softer level, it'll improve the ride quality...
Since the light nature en thrills you with nimble flick able drive, it loses on stability front...In the strict sense this bike is meant to be ridden on tarmac..Switch it to gravels and loose rock you will feel the bike shaking...
But you cant get all guys.light weight gives you flick ability but loses stability over uneven surfaces, adding some weight will get you good stability but you'll lose out on the easy flick-ability front.

4)Comfort:I really hate the seat.Its too damn stiff and pains the butt quickly.So i advice ppl to cushion the seats as soon as you buy.Also the rear shocks is stiff and doesn't absorb the shocks that well.But other than that there isn't much to complain.The seating position is just like elder pulsar.So the bike will be comfortable if these two annoyance is fixed.I am 5'9" and i don't have any problem with the bike..it fits nicely and also has good knee recess.

Summing it up, this bike is a very potent city slicker with good diving characteristics and power.If ridden gently(around 50km/hr.this is the max u can get around in cities most of the time) it gives me around 70kmpl, I have verified it numerous time.If pushed harder mileage ends up at 60kmpl.Rides really well on roads, loses stability over uneven surfaces.The bike may not be that comfortable over long journeys(>500 km) but i ask how many ppl really make those journeys!!!

Indian Bikes review's comments on the Review:

1. The Mud Guard of the bike was much needed so as to avoid the Tyre to throw water on the followers during rainy season. Another good reason is the pillion will be worried for the same reason but now there is no problem with Pulsar 135 espeially ladies wearing white sarees will always prefer Pulsar 135 LS
2. Seats and Suspension - It was designed considering the heavy luggage it need to carry. May be it would be difficult for solo ride. but with a pillion too heavy (>75Kgs) you'll still enjoy the ride where most of the bikes make it a hell for bike's engine. Still i believe that the Bike's suspension has to be reliable depending on the User's need (let's discuss on this in detail in my following posts)
3. Crossing 500Kms is not a big deal with Pulsar135LS, unless or until suitable condition favors. Before that Bajaj 135LS is a commuter and it will suit and perform at the max when to travel less than 50Kms
   

Any How Keerthi's review was great and we loved it as it showed his strong Passion towards his bike.

The Pros and Cons part will reveal the final debate on all the Top 6 bikes, that we consider from the beginning.

The pros and cons will be subdivided into 3 parts (i.e., 2 bikes per post).

I hope it will cover possible all Pros as well as cons of the bike.

Pulsar 150 2009:

Pulsar 150 bike is the rocking model of the bajaj from the year 2002. The bike has nearly four Upgrades and hence it is always an evergreen bike available in India.

The Bike has 2 serious upgrades in Engine. The Engine provides a very good 14.01Bhp output power, which is second highest output power from a 150cc Engine. Not only this the bike has a very good torque of 12.76nm@6000rom which is not the best but not like the rest. The new bike design with tank scoops adds looks to the bike.

The main plus point of the pulsar is its furious pick up. The bike is just 129Kgs and hence the torque helps it to reach the best out of the bike very easily. When the bike is at 6000rpm we can see a sharp change in your race, the Pulsar150 really rocks above 6000rpm also. Reaching 85Kmph is not at all a big target for Pulsar but after that the performance of the bike reduces largely.

the Bike is also best to drive at lesser speeds. In the 5th Gear, you can reach from 20Kmph to 80Kmph at just 14.3 seconds, where as other bikes take more than 17seconds to reach 80Kmph in 5th gear.

The sound will be interesting always and at all speeds. you will really shout Wow!!! at the roar of pulsar making you to feel as though you are driving a true sports bike. It will enthuse you to drive more faster. The sound will be like "Drive me more, Lets go!". The Bike has a top speed of 113Kmph second best speed among 150cc engine.

The main draw back in pulsar is the Forks. There is an imbalance in holding the fork of the Bike. The fork in pulsar attached to the Handle bar with the help of a screw which gets loosened because of the forks more telescopic. This causes a slight jerk when the screw was loose which makes the rider to fall immediately. In the 200, 220 and the current 180 pulsars have this problem rectified.

Nothing more to complain about the bike, every thing is good and Pulsar is exactly a Male Bike.

According to me Pulsar is a Strong Companion, who increases your confidence always.

(Over-all Rating: 83%)

CBZ Xtreme ATFT:

CBZ the second 150cc 4 -stroke motorcycle in India, has changed its looks and name into one of the best 150cc bike available now. The bike has good looks and style and designed for taller riders also and new colors and Graphics added recently.

The Bike has the best output power in 150cc segment with 14.4Bhp@8500rpm and excellent torque of engine is 12.8nm@6000rpm which is slightly more than Pulsar 150 anyway. But the Height and Weight plays negatively for the bike. The dry weight which is around 136Kgs and the height of the bike with 18" wheels makes the bike to allow more air to pass through and makes it difficult to drive your bike with utmost power, but still we can reach 125kmph (Speedo-error: Actual 110Kmph ).

The bike has a very good support from the 3rd and 4th Gear where the pickup is at the maximum for these gears.

The bike's sound is very silent and it wont make us to feel that the bike is running at 50-55Kmph. But above 85Kmph the bike shivers but not as bad as pulsar.

The bike's cost is too higher than pulsar 150 but the color and Graphics makes it worthy.

The bike fails to enthuse the rider but the looks enthuse the viewers and makes new fans for the rider.

The mileage tells us the bad news about the engine. The Engine is a well performing drunkard. The small 150 cc engine drinks similar to bigger engines.

According to me, "CBZ Xtreme helps you to make a good show with style"

(Over all Rating: 79%)

That's all for now...

I bought the Pulsar 180 DTSi on May month of 2008. Actually I was interested in getting the new Unicorn GrandPrix edition which was the latest of that time. I was reakky shocked when i had the Test Drive which doesnot satisfy my expetations.

I know that Bajaj upgraded pulsar but i didnot know about the upgrades. so i didnot concentrate on it.

Then saw CBZ Xtreme which satisfied my desire for speed and style. so i made up my mind to get it. But i was a strong opposer of Hero Honda except CBZ Xtreme. Because i feel that CBZ Xtreme is the only best bike i have felt after driving all bikes. CBZ Xtreme appeared to be better than Karizma of that time. I was dreaming all about CBZ Xtreme all those days.

It all remained only before when i saw my Black Guy. It was on April month when i was taking money to the Hero Honda showroom to book my bike, I saw a guy with Pulsar 150cc entirely strange. I asked whether it was an imported pulsar he laughed at me and said that it was the new Digital Pulsar. The name was striking. I wanted to see the Speedometer when i saw it, i was completely broken. Because it was everything in LCD.

Now i had chosen my bike it was Digital Pulsar. I went to Khivraj Showroom at Anna Salai near Anna Flyover. When i went there i had Black 150 and 180. Believe it was the love at first sight and i just went and asked the person to book Pulsar 180cc. I didn't get 200cc at that time:(

The bike was much astonishing and it gae me pride to drive the bike.

It helped me to take revenge on my friends, neighbors and especially a Karizma guy whom i thought of winning him in a race for a long time.

The Bike gave me style, Speed, Mileage, Efficiency and finally Confidence on myself.

I have reached 117kmph as the top speed and 58kmpl is the best mileage that the bike has given me.

Now i get mileage around 48kmpl to 52kmpl depending upon roads and speed which i travel.

Those who want to enjoy Super speeds with a good mileage and purchase their bike at reasonable price Go for Pulsar180 is my suggestion.

Well!!! friends here comes the review...

Hi,

The Bajaj - World's Leader in Twin spark Engines.

An ad has been simulated mentioning that the Bikes get life during nights with their Twin Spark Engines as their Hearts.

The graphics and Music are Excellent.

Bajaj, Distinctly a Head is mentioned in an advertisement.

I hope you love this Ad.

Hi All,

I have come up with the latest, most coolest and most expected news.

Pulsar 2009 Edition of Pulsar.

The Fuel-Injected Engines are ready for the race and the Bajaj has already switched to its new site for the showcase of the new Heroes to be launched.

Pulsar 150Fi
Pulsar 180Fi
and
Pulsar 200Fi
are the three faces that is going to launch.

The Most Exciting thing is that Bikes are ready. I expect the Bikes will be announced by Third week of May,2009

Yes, Pulsar 2009 Fast and Furious Edition is going to be launched in the very near future.

Racing is the most important aspect why the people choose 150cc bike in India. The Bikes in India are now upgraded and day by day .

Let us consider the top six bikes for this comparison too.

To win the Racing game, what we need in the bike is Pickup and Output power

Pickup is given by Torque. The other factors include bikes aerodynamics and Engine Capacity, etc...

So considering the Torque, 150c bikes are sorted below

1. Yamaha FZ-S with 13.6nm@6000rpm
2. Suzuki GS150R with 13.4nm@6000rpm
3. Apache RTR160 with 13.1nm@6000rpm
4. Honda Unicorn with 13nm@5500rpm
5. CBZ Xtreme with 12.8nm@6500rpm
6. Pulsar 150 with 12.7nm@6500rpm

So considering these features alone is not the way, there is an another factor CC and Output power,

The TVS Apache carrying the highest Cubic capacity (159.7cc) of the Engine and Output power of 15.2Bhp which is the est n class and make it est suited for racing.

The Unicorn fairing a poor output power stands back behind Pulsar and CBZ Xtreme. and the same case applies to Suzuki GS150R.

The Racing Award goes like this,

1. Apache RTR 160
2. CBZ Xtreme
3. Pulsar 150
4. FZ-S
5. Suzuki GS150R
6. Honda Unicorn

Hurray!!! Bajaj is going to come up with its New Pulsar 150.

Not just rumors, the bike is ready and ready to be launched by March 2010.

The expected specifications of the bike are:

Engine Capacity: 149.7cc
Engine Type : 4 Stroke, Air Cooled, 4-Valves - single cylinder
Output Power : 15.1 bhp @8500rpm
Engine Torque: 13.5 nm @5500rpm
Top Speed : 125kmph

It seems clip-on handle bars and thicker forks will also be a part of the features to be implemented.

But only thing Bajaj misses with this bike is mileage. it seems it is lesser than the previous version even though "Swirled Induction" Mechanism was implemented in this model.

Bajaj is going to do it again and revamp the market and going to take its position back in 150cc segment.

Bajaj Platina 125 DTS-Si, the new face from Bajaj with the XCD125 Engine is now the recent talk of the town.

With the price tag less than Rs.45000, the bike has the best performance of an 125c bike at the price of an 100cc Bike.

The Bike is an very good alternative for the100cc Bikes, (for e.g.: Hero Honda Passion was sold at 48,000 (without ES)).

The people who prefer the 100cc bikes can easily prefer the better Platina 125. But the thing is you have to sacrifice the Bike's re-sale value.

Also the mileage is the best thing to say about Platina 125cc, it gives a Dazzling 103Kmpl and more at speed level of 50-60Kmph.

Specifications:

1. Displacement: 124.6cc
   
2. Engine Type: 4 Stroke, SOHC, DTS Si(Swirled Induction)
   
3. Output Power: 9.45Bhp@7000rpm
   
4. Engine Torque: 10.9Bhp@5000rpm
   
5. Gear: 5 Speed
   
6. Weight: 113Kgs
   
7. Fuel Capacity: 13Ltrs
   
8. Top Speed: 93Kmph

Pros:

1. Ultimate Pick-Up better than most of the 150cc bikes
2. Most fuel-Efficient 125cc bike
3. Platina Styling and graphics design.
4. One among the Cheapest 125cc Bikes
   

Cons:

1. Light weight, hence difficult to ride on windy roads
2. Needs good maintenance for Engine longevity

Platina 125cc is targeted only for the 100cc bike segment to provide a better bike at a price equivalent to 100c bikes.

Sure!!! It runs a step ahead on the road as well as in the Performance

Overall Rating: 6.3/10

The Bajaj's most awaiting 150cc Engine is also going to accompany its all time sibling 180cc.

The most awaited 150cc engine is said to have Fuel Injected Engine with,
Output power: 16bhp
Engine Torque: 14nm
Top speed : 130kmph

Also the 180cc Engine will be fuel injected with,
Output power : 18bhp
Engine Torque: 16nm
Top speed : 140kmph

(Note: All values are expected may or may not be exact)

Also 200cc-Fi version is getting ready.

Most Important Information is that the new Engine will carry new Body design.

Yes, Pulsar is going to have Advanced Body Design with new Graphics.

India is ready to meet the Most Furious and Faster Racing Machine - PULSAR

It is a long time rival between the Great Karizma and the Rocking Pulsar.

From the year 2003, the competition between P180 and Karizma started. P180 however hard it fought with Karizma.

Pulsar 180 which has an output power of 15Bhp was refined to an unbeatable 16.51Bhp but Karizma had still 16.7Bhp(New Karizma has 17Bhp - so what? new pulsar 180 also produces 17Bhp)

But because of the higher cubic capacity of the engine and better engine torque Karizma stays ahead of Pulsar 180.

But Bajaj has not stopped and launched P200 with 18Bhp(1Bhp more than KarizmaR) which overtook Karizma in all means.

Pulsar 220 was not released concentrating on Karizma. Karizma can be compared only with Pulsar 180 and 200.

Pulsar 220 has latest ergonomics, design style and fairing much better than Karizma but not the Majestic appearance that Karizma has from its beginning.

I'm not opposer of Karizma but the engine needs up gradation to withstand in the current Market situation.

To be frank Pulsar is 4 steps ahead (Distinctly Ahead) than Karizma. May be the new Karizma Fi might overtake the Pulsar 220Fi but before that pulsar launched its new fastest again Pulsar220i with bigger carburetor with unbeatable speed.

So its not worthwhile delaying the time lines for the release of a new bike.

Until or Unless Karizma releases a new bike (Provided it should be better than at least Pulsar 200 in its engine performance) Karizma in not better than Pulsar.
