Bajaj Auto has updated its entire range of Pulsar motorcycles for 2017 - and that is what essentially the bikes are - updated models to make them more modern to meet new emission norms and make them look stylish with some cosmetic changes. Primarily, what the bikes get are updated engines meeting Bharat Stage IV emission norms and come equipped with the all-time headlamp on ( AHO) function. These are both requirements due to a government mandate and to be met by all two-wheeler manufacturers from 1 April, 2017.

So the 2017 Bajaj Pulsars all get these updates and some more; new decals on all models, new colour schemes and a few minor design changes. The Pulsar 135 has been repositioned as a commuter bike now and gets a few minor tweaks - new headlight cowl, new gearshifter and single piece seat. The Pulsar 180 largely remains the same, but gets a standard rear disk brake now.
2017 Bajaj Pulsar Range
The most significant changes however, are on the Bajaj Pulsar 150. Aesthetically, there is nothing to differentiate the new Pulsar 150. The only cosmetic changes are new colours, new decals, new faux carbon fibre finish on some plastic bits and a matte finish for the engine. The exhaust is new too, and now gets a larger bore for better performance and tonal quality.
