The real don:
If you don't want to try something new then go with Pulsar 150 cc DTS-i with digital twin spark ignition and till today Pulsar is one of the most sought after bike in the 150 cc segment. Bajaj says “DTS-i gives high power without compromising on mileage.” and the bike lives upto this statement. Another great advantage of the Digital Twin Spark ignition is the throttle responsiveness. Definitely the throttle response is better than the CBZ. It does give a good adrenaline rush when you twist the throttle.
When I had a ride on this bike, what I felt was a feeling of insecurity. Even though the bike is heavy, I somehow felt that the bike is not as safe as the Karizma. I cannot technically explain why it is so, but that's what I felt. But the pickup is awesome. Karizma picks up in slow and steady pace and maintains stability at high speeds, but Pulsar jumps off pretty fast. Bajaj has generously provided Pulsar with good disc breaks, but the brakes are too sensitive that it has to be applied carefully.
I have heard many people (Like me) applying the front discs too quick and due to the type of weight distribution that the bike has, the bike topples over. It is claimed that the Bajaj Pulsar 150cc gives a mileage of around 55 – 60 kmpl. But it greatly depends on user riding quality, service quality and frequency of maintenance and from last two years its giving me constant mileage in range of 5o -55 kmpl. Bajaj Pulsar was a great buy sometime ago, but right now considering the competition there are better bikes around from Honda, TVS and Yamaha. People are already bored seeing too many Pulsars in the city. It is time for Bajaj should launch a new 150 cc model to its product line. The digital console was an attraction a while ago, but now many bikes have introduced them.
If you are a Pulsar fan and have admired the bike for quite a long time, then go ahead and buy it.
but 1 think is sure when u will ride your own Pulsar.
