The new 2012 Bajaj Pulsar was recently spotted near Bajaj's Chekan plant near Pune. Its quite common for manufacturers to test out there bikes in real world environments right before a launch.

Biggest change quite visibly is the mono suspension. But as you may not have realized the very usual exhaust seems to be missing! Thats right are we going to get the most sportiest Indian bike ever in 2012 New Bajaj Pulsar? Due to absence of the exhaust in its usual place the gap between wheel and rear section is big and gives the bike a very sporty feel.

The rear tail lamps seem to remain same. Alloys design seems to have been changed. The seating position seems a little different than the current model. Bajaj may have learnt a thing or two from the KTM platform to make this change.

Since, Bajaj is looking to take competition head on. We expect the new engine might be a liquid cooled engine. There is also speculation of Bajaj using the KTM engines. Bajaj is very well expected to utilize the technology of KTM for this upcoming 2012 new Bajaj Pulsar.
