0 to 60 in 4 seconds, max. speed over 100 km/hr, street sport styling, 180cc of raw pulsating power… need I say more. One can easily say that Bajaj Auto Ltd. has launched unarguably one of the finest motorcycles in the country. I describe it as a powerful, stylish as well as a fuel efficient bike. Just one glance and you’ll agree that it is definitely male. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS : ENGINE : 4 stroke, Single cylinder, Natural air cooled. BORE X STROKE : 57mm X 56.4mm (for pulsar 150) 63.5mm X 56.4mm (for pulsar 180) ENGINE DISPLACEMENT : 143.91cc (for pulsar 150) 178.60cc (for pulsar 180) MAX. NET POWER : 12 bhp (8.82kW) @ 8500 rpm (for pulsar 150) 15 bhp (11.0kW) @ 8000 rpm (for pulsar 180) MAX SPEED : 100 km/hr (for pulsar 150) 107 km/hr (for pulsar 180) MILEAGE : 55-60 km/litre (for pulsar 150) 48-52 km/litre (for pulsar 180) ACCESSORIES : Speedometer, odometer, trip meter, tachometer, fuel indicator, side stand indicator, oil level gauge, front brake fluid level indicator, detachable seat. My experience with the bike: I was very keen on buying a bike which was both powerful as well as fuel efficient and I didn’t have to think twice about it. The 2 important pro’s which I would primarily associate with the bike are great performance and reliability. The feel of the breeze rushing through your hair when you are doing over 90 km/hr is simply out of this world. Going regularly at 100 km/hr is not advisable. The best (cruise) speed is in the range of 85-90. Street sport styling, an attractive twin pod console, and a flush fitted aircraft like fuel tank all add up to give the pulsar a breath taking look. The disc brake with its instant precision is simply awesome. It comes with an option of electric start which is a helpful utility provided you maintain your battery in optimum condition. So if you are looking for a bike with robust styling, great performance and fuel efficiency I would definitely recommend the bajaj pulsar.
