PULSAR 150. Review on Bajaj Pulsar 150NS

Before Inspiration I must say that what came to me was “Need”. Yes Need. In my schooling I was taught in I guess Economics about Need(Necessacity), Comfirt and Luxury. After being grown up(Sorry, wont tell my age) I realized that Defintiions of these three words may remain same but examples vary a lot. For some Bike is a comfirt but for me its a Need.

So after 1 year of my job in Delhi(M still in Delhi) and travelling daily in Bus from home to office and office to back home(It was also nice experience of listening Fms, wathching people specially gals) I started feeling Need of a Bike. Yes Bike, not a two wheeler. I must tell my readers that from very childhood of mine(when I used to love Enfield) I was crazy about Bikes, Body Building, and Guns.

Or I must say Power always attracted me. So I started feeling Need of bike coz of increasing rushes in buses. And it was Summer of 2007 not Summer of 69. Now I started looking for ads and Rates and specifications. Started going through News Papers, and started Googling. I guess every Software Engineer Uses Google. Google is our Best Friend.

So, as I needed Bike not a MotorCycle my search ended on 3 bikes Pulsar, Avenger, Karizma on the basis of looks. Then I found that I Need a bke which looks powerful. So Karizma was dropped from my list Although it was 220cc bike but what it lacked was a powerful look. The Tyres of Karizma were not that broad to give me a feel. So now left were Pulsar and Avenger(both from Bajaj).

Pulsar has a racing bike look and Avenger on the other hand as per me is a good substitute for Enfield and is good for long drives. I Should mention that I Coudnt buy Enfield coz my salary was only 18K approx. And many Bajaj dealers were offering Zero% finance. So on my analysis of my daily schedules and requirements I decided Pulsar coz Avenger is a Heavy Bike, and Long too.

So in trafics of Delhi I preferred Pulsar as at that time I never thought that I will go on long drives on my bike. Now which Pulsar? At that time only 3 variants were there: 150CC, 180 CC and few months back launched 200 CC. And all these variants where different from previous 150CC and 180CC Pulsar like tail lights where replaced with new LED tail Ligths, Some shape mods etc.

I wanted 200CC(coz of its powerfull rear wheels, Stylish Silencer and luks). But after preparing myself, collecting required documents and borrowing Some Downpayment money from my friend Lalit Pandey, we went to showroom. But my bad luck or good luck I dont know Dealer dint have 200CC Pulsar and he said “Pulsar 200CC doesnt have Kick Start.

So it may give problems later”.(I wonder why mostly dealers, shopkeepers criticize the product they dont have? Else who will buy there product?). Anyways Dealer said “180 chalaa kar dekho…ye mast hai”(“take a test drive of 180cc.its cool bike”). So I took a test ride. One assistant became my pillion and gave me the keys. I put the key in the key hole, rotated the key to about 180 degree and Oh wowww… The speedometer RPM niddle moved to the highest RPM and came down.

It always does so when U put ON ur Bike. So started the bike with Self Start(I think Bajaj was the first to introduce it to Indian Market or make it famous) and started the Ride. The place was not smooth and the road offered me was very uneven but Oh My God…Whats this? The Bike is so smooth. I fell in Love with it. I said “Final kar do”.

Went back to dealer, gave him downpayment, necessary docs, some formalties and now the Bike is mine. I drove back 8 kms to home or I must say flew. On the way I filled petrol to tank as it waxs empty, bought some sweets for friends. And now I am happy. For next few days I went trhough specifications given in mannual and recommendations like dont exceed this much speed before 3 months, do this do that etc etc.

I did follow them except for one or two times in curiosity or excitement to know how good is its pick up and at what speed I can drive well. So pick up was good and I took it speed of 80-85 kms/hour at tht time. Later I explored speed upto 110, 112, 115. So this was how my joruney with my bike started. And with time my love for my bike increased. I call it my girlfriend although its “Definitely Male”. Lets get to next section. I wanna ask one question to Deepak(owner of bikeadvice.in). You always mention that our story or review should be of 300 or 400 words atleast. So my question is do all readers have such time to read all such big reviews?
