that was a very well written review, but yes, u just needed to hit the write review button on the same (Honda Unicorn) review page and u could have changed the entire thing...
also u say that the Unicron at 13.5 bhp is the most powerful...i think the LML Beamer has a 14 bhp engine, making it the mo...st powerful in the 150 cc class...Read More

hi soumitra
good review that has captured all the changes in the new Pulsar. i personally feel they shud also have reduced the fairing size, keeping in mind the new bikes smaller proportions.
happy riding

the review isnt tight, and lacks info.
also the Wind, though looks snazzy and has a sprigthly engine, has an antiquated tubular suspension (when the whole world has gone on to the much better box section swingarm)and is overshadowed by the Discover's performance, handling,ride and mileage....and fo...r your information Wind was always targeted at the export markets, and hence Bajaj has discontinued the Wind for sale in India, and concentrating its sales in the export markets-it has got nothing to do with Bajaj's paying royalty to Kawasaki- its a much more strategic benefit.Read More

i wrote this review more than a year back. and there hasnt been any copying done. any one who thinks of Kawasaki and knows something about their bikes will have to name their best and most famous products- the Ninja sportsbike (that come in 1000 and 1200 cc) and the Vulcan cruiser. If you kn...ew something about bikes then you too would have thought like that, but it seems from your comment and your review that you dont.
and in case you come up with anything like that comment again in my or someone else's review,then do so with proof in hand, and dont come up with silly reasons like Bajaj changed its website.

Hi Nandu
from what u have written, it seems u want something that is equally comfortable doing short city jaunts, or long inter state cruises. Agreed the cruisers arent cut out for city traffic, and the city bikes not made out for long hauls.
keeping that in mind, and riding comfort for short and ...long hauls,and all the bikes currently on road in India (including the Unicorn), i would recommend the Karizma to you.
The Karizma can be called India's first sports tourer, reasonable riding position (semi sporty, so no backaches over long distances), rock solid engine, and excellent handling for city driving.
The recent 10k price cut makes it a very attractive proposition, but the only flip side is the mileage which in city would probably be 40, and in hghways around 45.Read More

welcome to MS and good review to start with.
getting 60-65 kmpl from a 15 yr old 2 stroker is unbelievable....
and regarding ur new bike criteria- low maintenance, high mileage and reasonable price tag- hmm isnt that Utopian :)
keeping only mileage criteria (65-70mpl), there r nly a few bikes tha...t provide that kind of mileage-the Hero Honda Passion,Splendor, the Bajaj CT 100, and the TVS Centra.
Among these the Honda bikes retail for about 45k on road, the TVS about 41k, while the Bajaj at 37k is best value for money.
A better option for u i feel, since u hav been riding a powerful 2 stroek bike all ur life, is to settle for some of the new 125cc bikes in the market. They may not give a phenomenal mileage, but sure will cater to the power requirements that u r used to. Try out the new Bajaj Discover, mileage expected should be 60 kmpl, with excellent ridind and handling capabilities, and all at a reasonable tag of 45k.
u r welcome to ask me if u want some more information...
have a happy n save ride.Read More

thanks for your comments. Yes since it is only a month old, so a bit hard to validate the mileage figures, but pickup figures seems to be reliable- and u r rite abt their service.

thanks for the high rating.
i can understand u waiting for some more time, to allow more bikes to come in your range. In the next 6 months, u can see the LML Beamer, and a new Hero Honda bike in the 150 cc market. And by that time you mite want to wait for Suzuki's first product due to hit the mark...et in mid-late 2005 :)....all i mean to say u mite just be waiting....
the Unicorn and the Pulsar is as good as u can get, so my advice to u is go ahead and buy one if u need one now. mind u that the Unicorn has a long waiting period now :)
happy riding

just get ur engine idle speed increased from 1000 to around 1150-1200 rpm...this is the recommended idling speed, and because it is low in ur bike, it stops now and then.

in my opinion it is a simple tuning issue that can be rectified at the service station...the bike is a good one and just needs proper service which bajaj guys dont give.

an excellent bike and an excellent review...i too faced similar problems with my 150- coz of the heavy chasis, somehow the 3.0 tyres were not up to the mark...i changed my tyre rim and tyres to 100/90 Zappers, along with shorter two peice handlebars (i fond the earlier handlebars a bit too high n wi...de)- and now the bike handles like a dream...

bajaj service sucks big time....but compared to the LML Energy, the Caliber is a better bike in terms of build quality and longevity.

against the run of play i guess- but the Centra's VT-i engine is special...in the sense that its spark plug fires not once but twice - due to which there is complete combustion of fuel, hence better mileage and acceleration. It is something akin to what the Pulsar DTSI engine does, except the DTSI e...ngine uses two spark plugs that fire sequentially to achieve complete combustion.
There is a lot of digital technology involved in this bike folks, and kudos to TVS for incorporating them.
