First, let us get this straight. This is NOT just another Pulsar.
It is not one of those Bajaj bikes which are looked at and forgotten almost immediately by even those people who have the memory span of a million years.
No. This is an evolutionary Pulsar, and to make my point let me start with a few pictures. The Indian biking scene has seen a great overhaul in the last couple of years with the advent of the quarter liter class making inroads into a predominantly 100 cc -150 cc market. With this evolutionary trend, the flagship Indian brand obviously had to shrug off their “Hamara Bajaj” image, put on a new Dolce and Gabbana suit and spray copious amounts of Armani Performanti. What resulted was a Pulsar that could take to the streets and tear off any other so called Indian Performance bike’s sheepskin clothing and show them who the real boss is.
In my mind though, in pursuit of moving ahead of its known and accepted image, Bajaj has inadvertently carved a piece of the performance biking fraternity’s chunk for itself and made us more hamara than ever.
