Lets us compare the two bikes the 180cc and the 200cc to see whats new and if it is worth upgrading.

Apart from these there haven’t been much changes. No changes into the looks except the Windshield which is optional. I was looking for a windshield everywhere but couldn’t find a good one even in JC Road. Now Bajaj itself is making it cool , but there is a set back, the windshield is a bit costly as it is priced at Rs. 2300 . Anyways I am going to add a windshield to my Avenger 180cc soon.  The fuel indicator is a good upgrade, Bajaj avoided it in 180cc to give it a classic cruiser look. But they have realized Indian customers do prefer a fuel indicator as they are way too mileage conscious.  Regarding more news from Bajaj get ready for Bajaj Pulsar 300cc which will hit the market soon.

Well the conclusion is I am not upgrading my Avenger any soon, I love my 180cc .

I feel like “GOD” .

I must admit there 220 cc commercial on the tv is surely one of the much talked about commercial. Here is the commercial of the pulsar 220.

Here is the technical specification.

A preview by NDTV

Here are some of the snaps that I took yesterday at the showroom.

Pulsar has surely changed Bajaj’s future in two wheeler market, it has branded Pulsar well all it’s new releases has been a run away success unlike Hero Honda Splendor.

The new Pulsar has many firsts to its credit. It comes equipped with an Oil cooler, which helps control engine oil temperatures at sustained high speeds and rpms, thus ensuring more stable engine oil viscosity. The 200cc DTS-i engine generates 18 Ps of raw pulsating power to provide riding excitement to performance hungry bikers. This makes the Pulsar 200 the most sporty and stylish powerhouse on two wheels to pace the Indian roads.

It’s also the first bike in India to feature both front and rear tubeless tyres, which besides offering superior stability are safer than conventional tube types and in sync with the offerings abroad for similar applications. The rear tyre is the broadest in its category to ensure better road grip and stability.

The new digital console is an advanced version of the latest Pulsar family. Apart from the Digital Odometer, Digital Speedo Meter, Digital Fuel Gauge and two Digital Trip Meters, the console on the 200 cc Pulsar DTS-i has indicators for Air filter condition, Engine temperature, Battery voltage and Oil level, all of which contribute to enhancing rider info for trouble-free riding. Another first is the use of split seats for styling and comfort. The split grab rail perfectly compliments the new rear chiseled looks. It is also the first Indian bike to have electric start as the sole means of engine cranking, dispensing with the kick lever.

Speaking on the launch Mr. S.Sridhar, VP (Sales & Marketing-2 wh), Bajaj Auto Ltd said, “This launch is in line with our strategy of enhancing our product portfolio to offer riding excitement to pro-bikers. Our entire focus and effort is to deliver outstanding technology and performance. The new Pulsar has now raised the bar in the motorcycle industry with superior technology and features such as the engine oil cooler, digital console etc.”

He added, “We are already market leaders by far in the performance segment and launch of Pulsar 200 DTS-i would further reinforce our position in this important segment. The bike joins the immensely popular 150 cc and the 180cc Pulsar DTS-i to extend the Pulsar DTS-i range across a range of price and performance points. ”

The bike would be available at exclusive Probiking showrooms at select locations across the country. Performance biking now also comes at an attractive price of Rs.65,497 ex showroom, New Delhi.

• High performance exposed ‘O’ ring Drive chain for running in dusty conditions, providing for clean uncluttered looks and commensurate with the bikes image.

It was rather call of the day because with so many pulsar running on the road it was time to be something different. This is reason Bajaj has release limited edition Bajaj Pulsar 180 cc in Orange colour. It is surely a treat for eyes. It looks more sporty with the orange color. It has all the features of the new 180cc i.e. Digital Display etc. It costs INR 2000 more than the regular 180 cc pulsar. I would recommend those who are going for the 180 cc to go for it. Yeah it costs 2000 more but hey it is worth the uniqueness with so many blue, black, grey and red pulsars running on the road the All new limited edition Orange Colour is surely a treat for eyes and will turn some that matters the most

Well I took some snaps with my Nokia 3230 hope you will like it..

I have following choices now Yamaha Enticer, Bajaj Avenger or Royal Enfield thunderbird. As I look to Enticer with it’s 125CC engine I actually feel it is a shame for a crusier bikes as curiser bikes are built for power well… Next when I look into Royal Enfield’s Thunderbird sure she is a beauty with 350 cc engine the power is there to feel. But the downside being the mileage and the cost. Yes I know from a curiser bike these are things that are not expected but hey do we have something that promises this?? Well that is why chose Bajaj Avenger.. 180cc, with lower on road price when compared to Thunderbird but with a better mileage.. yes thanks to the DTSi engine.. Also bajaj avenger is a reworked model of Eliminator so it obviously got that looks .
