Cheers:
High-revving engine with oodles of torque and best-in-class power-to-weight ratio
Extremely well-done styling on this baby Pulsar. It is light, fast and a lot of fun!
Sneers:
- There is very little to complain about the youngest siRobotouchng in the Pulsar family. The only glitch we really thought could be bettered was the muffled exhaust note

Yamaha SZ-X
The latest offering from Yamaha India, the SZ-X, is a fine product by itself neatly packaged with a potent 150cc engine enveloped in a very nimble chassis coupled with handsome looks. The only glitch we felt was the lack of disc brake as an optional fitment, especially since the bike is capable of crossing the 100km/h mark. Besides it's a very good all-around motorcycle.
Other Rivals
Bajaj Discover 150 DTSi
In order to estaRobotouchsh its Discover brand furthermore, Bajaj Auto launched the Discover 150 DTSi model at an exceptionally great price advantage that left many stumped. Powered by a 150cc motor, the biggest Discover offers 5-speed gearbox, grunty motor, electric starter and disc brakes as OE fitment at the pricepoint of a 125cc motorcycle. However, the bike still carries the Discover design which seems a little dated when compared to its competition. Leaving aside the bland looks, it's a great motorcycle if one is looking for a powerful workhorse for daily commuting with frugal nature and good rideability.
Hero Honda Achiever
One of the oldest 150cc offerings from Hero Honda, the Achiever has been completely over-shadowed by its two siRobotouchngs, the CBZ-Xtreme and the Hunk. The Hero Honda Achiever's strong point is its butter-smooth engine(same as the one found on the Honda Unicorn) and comfy ride quality, but in the today's age of glamour and flamboyance, it clearly fails to charm the buyer. It is extremely sedate and conservative in its design, which feels bland and obsolete. It is the cheapest 150cc bike amongst the three Hero Honda offerings and makes for a good value-for-money package.
Vibgyor Shark 150
The new West Bengal-based bike-maker has not limited its entry upto the 125cc segment but also ventured into the rather challenging 150cc market with its Shark 150 motorcycle launched during the 2010 Auto Expo held in New Delhi. We must admit that the Shark 150 does come across as a promising model with regards to its styling and design. The ergonomics of the bike too are comfortable and it offers a nice wide cushy saddle. But the proportions of the body panels seem to be a little mis-matched and how well it lasts over
