Commuter sport motorcycle segment of India

All of this and the mania that continues among youth is what makes this near perfect marvel on wheels such a thumping success. Now, wait a minute, don’t start cursing me so soon; this ain’t no promotional campaign for the Pulsar brand, nor do I work with Bajaj, but as an enthusiast and as an Indian, I am proud that an Indian manufacturer has managed to build a product that not only dominates the local territory, but now has even started winning hearts away from home, One Interesting thing is J Challenging Japanese giants in the motorcycling industry is not an easy task, and if an Indian manufacturer has dared and almost managed to unsettle them enough to think again, it certainly should be something that would make us Indian bike enthusiasts proud. Now, coming to me as a person, I am a thorough bred auto enthusiast who loves biking while carrying an equal amount of fascination for cars. I have been riding bikes for nearly 13 years now and have managed to get my hands on almost every kind of bike – be it a plain Jane commuter, a muscular naked street bike, Looks are crucial for every bike. A bike has to look inviting and appealing not only to the rider, but also the onlookers so that the one who rides the bike manages to draw some attention, which all of us crave for. Well, since my old 150 looked almost identical barring the dual paint job and the tank scoops, I felt that the design still didn’t feel old enough.However, I believe one can adjust the suspension towards a softer setup at the service center. Softer setup has its own demerits as well. If you hit any pothole or find yourself on uneven surfaces, the suspension is bound to bottom out, so a stiffer setup is always better on Indian roads. Another thing I was disappointed with was the clutch. The 150 and almost every Bajaj bike including the Duke 200 came with a really hard clutch Also you won’t find the auto-cancellation indicators on the new 150. They have been replaced with press cancellation setup due to greater failure rate of the former. The quality of the switch gear is also much better and everything is well placed for easier reach. The twin horns are slightly smaller when compared to that of my old 180, but in no way less effective. Tubeless tyres are missed on this model; hope they will upgrade the same with the next one.Start the engine and you get the same classic engine sound that sets your pulse racing. Power delivery is nice and linear. The ride is almost one among the best in its segment and what else would you expect from the segment leader. The thrust as you let go of the clutch and twist the throttle is instant, the feeling that you are riding a machine that has caused a revolution in the Indian biking history is constant, and the sheer pleasure derived from its riding experience is persistent.
