Well, when it comes to writing about something..... I find it tough to express but not when it's a topic of interest. Bajaj pulsar has always been a game changer for the bajaj auto. I had bought it in year 2009 and today will share with you my experience and review about the "definitely male" bike. Let's start then....1. Buying experience: it was mixed bag for me as the dealer was very busy due to high demand of this bike, so he didn't pay attention to my requests as anticipated. However, i had a multiple rounds of trials and they were supportive there. The annoying thing about the bajaj dealer (rather all auto dealers) was, they were forcing me to opt for insurance company having their tie up....Which i felt quite expensive as compare to other options. And the other bad thing was to sell the accessories at a very high price. Overall the experience at dealership was below average so 3 out of 5 for this.2. Looks: it's intimidating and strikingly attractive with the options available in the market at that time. I opted for a black colour and seriously it looks amazingly good on pulsar. The stretch seats and the fuel tank also add beauty to the overall stance of the bike. The headlight cluster was complimenting to the tag line of this bike and has got some attitude. The bike feels heavier especially if you were riding the likes of splendors earlier. I will give 4.5 for the looks out of 5.3. Riding and performance: it's a street bike and not a cruiser so i had to rule out ultimate riding comfort. But to my surprise pulsar offers great riding comfort. The suspension could have been better though but still it gives tall riding position with comfortable seating. Performance is good if not great and fulfills most of your needs. Braking was excellent and this is the 1st one to introduced disk brakes among few others. One negative is it takes frequent gear shifting especially in city rides. The mileage is below 60 whenever i tried measuring but mostly due to riding it in to city traffic. 4. Maintenance: the maintenance on the equipment side is less compare to the other items like rim colour, paint, oil seal leakage, etc. Which is quite frequent. The routine service takes 4 to 5 hours at service station. The most problematic area for me of this bike was attending the issue of frequent oil leakage from the front suspension bars. The engine performs at par with my expectations. The other issue is heating of engine quite immediately when i took the long highway rides. It flames up even with the 50 km ride with 80 - 90 speed....Which inspires to take short tea breaks (if we take this in a positive sense :p). Overall 3.5 out of 5.5. Pros and cons:Pros:- good looks- stylish and ageless design- affordable price- front disk brake- large service network across india- reasonable fuel economy- definitely male- value for money. Cons:- painting quality could have been better especially on rims- front disc brakes are more prone to accidents (as many are not used to it)- seats are slippery and not comfortable for long rides- frequent gear shifting is cumbersome- standard bike doesn't come with basic accessories. To conclude my longer than usual review, i find pulsar a stylish bike with attractive features and some attitude which surely intimidating. In short a good value proposition.

    Worst motorcycle, I bought thinking it's there for 15 years and Bajaj resolved all issue. But I am wrong.
    List of issues in bs6 150 single disc pulsar.
    1) Suspension, Bajaj carried 180 and 220 rear suspension to 150 but the swing arm of 150 needed heavy suspension which was their earlier. Due to this Motorcycle can't carry 2 people properly.
    2) Front suspension, bs6 front suspension is so soft it will make judder sound and front slips along with abs makes weird experience on small gravel or small stone roads. Definitely worst.
    3) Tappety engine. No matter how many service centers I visited, they couldn't solve the tappet sound issue. it's so irritating,.
    4) Shady service centers. They blame you and can't resolve issue. And they will create new issue.
    5) Sensor issue. The motorcycle stopped in the middle of the road. Throttle body error.
    6) Worst thing is you have to maintain 5-litre petrol as a reserve.
    Otherwise, you will get a malfunctioning light.
    7) Low-quality spare parts. This motorcycle is built of money. The quality of the motorcycle is so bad. Bs6 pulsars are failures.

    When we drive the pulsar 150 Cc then their control is good and their sitting portion and seat and side fiber are too good and their breakfront and back and the front Disc break and back break is so hard and their handle is comfortable to grab their handle and their head is looking awesome.

  • The absolute G.O.A.T!!

    4 weeks ago


    Aditya Sharma

    I first got the taste of the pulsar 150 back in the year 2014 when I got to lay hands on my uncle's 2007 model, after that the very same year we ourselves got a black colour pulsar 150 and have had it since then and very recently I had the opportunity to ride a 2023 single disc variant of the pulsar 150. Here are my thoughts on how the motorcycle is overall, it's pro's and cons after more than a decade of ownership.
    First up the bike itself is the G.O.A.T of the segment being the one who started the sports bike for masses trend in India and there are no two ways about it.
    THE PROS!!
    1. The engine = The 2014 model that I own produces 14bhp which is 0.2 bhp more than the outgoing model(13.8bhp) which makes the bike feel a little bit more agile when opening up the revs. The engine is the sole reason why the 150 is able to sell in numbers even today because the sporty characteristics of it is unrivalled and encourages the rider to rev it hard in order to extract every last bit of performance and fun.
    2. The design = The iconic pulsar design with twin tail lamps and twin parking lights at the front are just irreplaceable and even the overall silhouette of the bike remains true to the original one to this date which I feel is another factor contributing to it's good sales numbers. No matter what automotive journalists have to say but people still want to be seen on a pulsar that look the original one.
    Now to the CONS!!
    1. Parts quality / Fit and finsih = The harsh truth about owning a pulsar is that the quality of some of the parts is not that great and fit and finish is also questionable. In my ownership experience I have faced difficulties in maintaining few of then such as the head unit, the tank extensions and the side panels. All these plastic units tend to break very easily and are very expensive to replace.
    2. Fuel economy = When you're buying a 150cc bike you are going to expect a fuel economy of somewhere between 50-55 kmpl but that is not the case with the pulsar. Yes it does return these kind of numbers if ridden in a very certain manner but as soon as you start opening the throttle, holding the revs and ride to enjoy and ride how it should be ridden the fuel economy drops significantly and you will not go past the 45kmpl mark.
    3. The weight = The bike weighs in at 148kgs which is just too much for a 150cc bike, when you compare this with the pulsar's main rival, the Apache rtr 160 it weighs a whole 10kgs less at just 138kgs. This I feel is something that Baja should work on to make the 150 a bit lighter.
    Final thoughts are that if you want a bike that has good power on offer, has the history behind it and does not want to spend more than 1.5lakhs on it, there are very few bikes that will appeal asmich as the Pulsar 150 does but as soon as you take your budget beyond 1.5 lakhs enters the Apache RTR 160 which is lighter by 10kgs and produces 2.2bhp more than the pulsar, the hero Xtreme 160r that again weighs almost 10kgs less and produces 1bhp extra or even the N150 is a much better product than the pulsar 150 is.
    Thus, those you are not willing to spend a penny extra should go for the 150 as there is no better option than it but as soon as you extend your budget the choices become much more varied and better.

    2) Front suspension, bs6 front suspension is so soft it will make judder sound and front slips along with abs makes weird experience on small gravel or small stone roads. Definitely worst.
    3) Tappety engine. No matter how many service centers I visited, they couldn't solve the tappet sound issue. it's so irritating,.
    4) Shady service centers. They blame you and can't resolve issue. And they will create new issue.
    5) Sensor issue. The motorcycle stopped in the middle of the road. Throttle body error.
    6) Worst thing is you have to maintain 5-litre petrol as a reserve.
    Otherwise, you will get a malfunctioning light.
    7) Low-quality spare parts. This motorcycle is built of money. The quality of the motorcycle is so bad. Bs6 pulsars are failures.

    When we drive the pulsar 150 Cc then their control is good and their sitting portion and seat and side fiber are too good and their breakfront and back and the front Disc break and back break is so hard and their handle is comfortable to grab their handle and their head is looking awesome.

  • The absolute G.O.A.T!!

    4 weeks ago


    Aditya Sharma

    I first got the taste of the pulsar 150 back in the year 2014 when I got to lay hands on my uncle's 2007 model, after that the very same year we ourselves got a black colour pulsar 150 and have had it since then and very recently I had the opportunity to ride a 2023 single disc variant of the pulsar 150. Here are my thoughts on how the motorcycle is overall, it's pro's and cons after more than a decade of ownership.
    First up the bike itself is the G.O.A.T of the segment being the one who started the sports bike for masses trend in India and there are no two ways about it.
    THE PROS!!
    1. The engine = The 2014 model that I own produces 14bhp which is 0.2 bhp more than the outgoing model(13.8bhp) which makes the bike feel a little bit more agile when opening up the revs. The engine is the sole reason why the 150 is able to sell in numbers even today because the sporty characteristics of it is unrivalled and encourages the rider to rev it hard in order to extract every last bit of performance and fun.
    2. The design = The iconic pulsar design with twin tail lamps and twin parking lights at the front are just irreplaceable and even the overall silhouette of the bike remains true to the original one to this date which I feel is another factor contributing to it's good sales numbers. No matter what automotive journalists have to say but people still want to be seen on a pulsar that look the original one.
    Now to the CONS!!
    1. Parts quality / Fit and finsih = The harsh truth about owning a pulsar is that the quality of some of the parts is not that great and fit and finish is also questionable. In my ownership experience I have faced difficulties in maintaining few of then such as the head unit, the tank extensions and the side panels. All these plastic units tend to break very easily and are very expensive to replace.
    2. Fuel economy = When you're buying a 150cc bike you are going to expect a fuel economy of somewhere between 50-55 kmpl but that is not the case with the pulsar. Yes it does return these kind of numbers if ridden in a very certain manner but as soon as you start opening the throttle, holding the revs and ride to enjoy and ride how it should be ridden the fuel economy drops significantly and you will not go past the 45kmpl mark.
    3. The weight = The bike weighs in at 148kgs which is just too much for a 150cc bike, when you compare this with the pulsar's main rival, the Apache rtr 160 it weighs a whole 10kgs less at just 138kgs. This I feel is something that Baja should work on to make the 150 a bit lighter.
    Final thoughts are that if you want a bike that has good power on offer, has the history behind it and does not want to spend more than 1.5lakhs on it, there are very few bikes that will appeal asmich as the Pulsar 150 does but as soon as you take your budget beyond 1.5 lakhs enters the Apache RTR 160 which is lighter by 10kgs and produces 2.2bhp more than the pulsar, the hero Xtreme 160r that again weighs almost 10kgs less and produces 1bhp extra or even the N150 is a much better product than the pulsar 150 is.
    Thus, those you are not willing to spend a penny extra should go for the 150 as there is no better option than it but as soon as you extend your budget the choices become much more varied and better.
