Ridden for (If Owned)	15000+ km
Got mileage of	42 kmpl

I'm posting this review after riding my pulsar150 twin disc bs-vi for about 6000kms aver a timespan of 5-6months. I ride it for about a 100kms on an alternate day basis. I've completed 2 services of the bike, each time the engine oil was drained and refilled with new. So i have ridden it with well maintained conditions.
And after that i am stating that the engine is running really fine and residing upon that fact i'm gonna write down unbiased pros and cons that i faced within my time of riding it.
______________________________________________________________________
Pros:
1- great looks ! : even after 20 years of launching it, bajaj hasn't changed the base design of the bike. Of course there have been some major graphics and look changes over the past decade, but the masculine charisma of the bike still remains the same. The metal tank, sturdy & long wheelbase, and the iconic headlamps gives me the same macho appeal matching my character. Bajaj wasn't wrong when tag lined the pulsar name with "definitely male".
2- engine refinement : although we've heard people complaining about the pulsar's engine being rough and making noises, but i do know some people who boast about the refinement and smoothness of the bike. Let me tell you a secret; pulsar requires maintenance just like any other bike. But some people take their chances of skipping over the service periods, or not refilling the engine oil once after every 10000 kms. It is a pro for me, because as much as i know, these bikes do go on for a long period of time and kilometers only if maintained properly. I usually refill the engine oil upon every service period and clean-lube the chain after every 600-800 kms of riding.
3- comfort - riding the pulsar for 100 kms 3 days in a week for 4 months and also after a long ride of 1000 kms, i can proudly say that this is a very comfortable bike for everyday commute. The forward leaning seating posture, the riding stance and well above-average working dual shock absorbers gives you a very good grip on the asphalt.
So far i haven't witnessed any comfort issues from my side, but those who like to ride in a relaxed posture(rather than slightly sporty leaning posture), i'd suggest then to test ride a pulsar for at least 10-20kms before making a choice. Although the seats could have been a little stiffer which could be a help during long rides. But for daily commute, its very comfortable. No back, wrist or shoulder pains at all. Very minimal and un-noticeable vibrations and no stress points.
4- power and fuel economy : considering both power and fuel economy are inversely proportional, bajaj has mastered both of those in the new bs-vi pulsars. Although power figures have dropped down after having fuel injected system, you don't get that punchy pickup, but what you get is certainly good enough to cruise on highways and overtake heavy vehicles without doubting the circumstances. All that and you get a mileage of 50-55 km/l in cities and 60 km/l on highways while maintaining steady speeds of 60-70kmph. But if you want more power, skip the pulsar 180 and definitely do for 220-f which shall give you about 40 km/l on highways.
5- all other factors : after all the things i wrote above, there are these subtle non-descriptive things which i like, and those maybe; the very bright halogen bulb or the dual honks which make your road presence undoubtful. The new meter console is very informative, yet still lacks gear count indicator and clock (ps: if you know how you ride, then you know which gear is your bike running on and reduction of the clock saves battery). Besides all, the braking is perfectly fine with the single channel abs. Although bajaj could have been grateful enough to feature dual channel abs like most other manufacturers, but the way i ride it, i think its manageable with single channel. The 15 liter tank is a huge pro considering the fact that you don't have to stop at short distances to refuel.(ps- it actually occupies 16-17 liter of fuel and the range goes up to 900kms)
______________________________________________________________________
Cons:
1- not that good weight balancing: i've ridden dukes and apaches which are fairly heavier than the pulsar, but those bikes feel really light. Comparing to those, my pulsar feels like a royal enfield. In my opinion bajaj has been making these with the same old designed chasses and frame with the same engine placement, which results in making the bikes feel heavy and dense even when they're not. I'm a perfectly fit and healthy person and sometimes i feel maneuvering an apache or duke in a parking lot or traffic is easier than the pulsar.
2- shifting : its been about 5 months and 6000kms of riding the bike and i still feel the gears are lagging and rough. Before the 2nd service there were mis-shifts and fail-shifts which vanished after loosening the totally tight clutch and giving it a free-play of 10mm, but i still experience lags while shifting from 4th to 5th gear. The service engineers say that it'll get smooth within a year and even i hope so. I wish bajaj works upon this in their upcoming new-gen pulsars.
3- material quality and paint finishes : i have got the "sparkle matte black" version and over the time i'm noticing that the roughness of the matte-finish of the paint getting smooth at the tank grip position due to grabbing the tank with my knees and thighs. Also the rear seat cowl and tail lamp section had started to make noises while riding, which i had to get tightened.
______________________________________________________________________
That's all my folks ! many people might complain about many things about the bike but so far I've given my insights on what I've experienced and observed. This might be the perfect bike for many people, lets say daily work commuters, students like me, or anyone with an appeal towards strong and everlasting pulsars. Looking into the standards which other bikes in the range offer, bajaj is finally going to make a complete redesign of the pulsar 150s right after launching pulsar 250s which might highlight fiber tanks and and better weight balancing. But the present pulsar 150 bs-vi is and always will be the base and fundamental deign idea behind the classic name and legendary attitude of the "manias" riding it.
This review might have got long, and over the time i'll keep it updated, but for now i've tried keeping it short while providing as much details as possible. And all that is worth writing for the bike.
Ride safe !!!

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!!
3 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.

The build quality feels solid, featuring high-grade materials that ensure durability while keeping the weight manageable. The acceleration is swift, allowing for quick overtakes and a thrilling riding experience. The engine is smooth, with minimal vibrations. It gives me joy and a thrilling experience while riding. It gives a decent mileage of 47 to 49.

The best 150
12 weeks ago
Aryan Vasava
The best bike I purchased 2 years ago is a Bajaj Pulsar 150 twin disc.
I got this bike from Ankleshwer Bajaj showroom with 24 months EMI and a 30,000 down payment.
I just completed 30,000km in two years, and satisfied, no riding issues, and a smooth experience.
The looks of the Bajaj Pulsar 150 are stylish and cool of this segment and the black and blue color looks wow, and this bike gives you the best performance at 150 cc, and the top speed is 131km/hr I tested even pickup speed is quick and faster.
There are too less costs of maintenance in this bike, just give time to-time service from the showroom. Even if don't want it serviced then no need to go to the showroom, just change the bike engine oil from time to time, and that's it!
There are no cons to this bike if you are a normal rider even if you want to faster ride no need to worry because it gives much power and smooth performance at 150cc.
This bike gives you the best mileage and performance!!

Bought Pulsar 150 neon in March 2019. The initial experience was good but the condition deteriorated after that. I normally use the bike for daily commuting and generally keep rpm below 6k. The engine is very unrefined and gives vibration at and after 4k rpm. The rear tyre looks tilted from its angle and the Bajaj servicemen say that it can't be corrected. The rear suspension is very stiff.

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.

The build quality feels solid, featuring high-grade materials that ensure durability while keeping the weight manageable. The acceleration is swift, allowing for quick overtakes and a thrilling riding experience. The engine is smooth, with minimal vibrations. It gives me joy and a thrilling experience while riding. It gives a decent mileage of 47 to 49.

The best 150
12 weeks ago
Aryan Vasava
The best bike I purchased 2 years ago is a Bajaj Pulsar 150 twin disc.
I got this bike from Ankleshwer Bajaj showroom with 24 months EMI and a 30,000 down payment.
I just completed 30,000km in two years, and satisfied, no riding issues, and a smooth experience.
The looks of the Bajaj Pulsar 150 are stylish and cool of this segment and the black and blue color looks wow, and this bike gives you the best performance at 150 cc, and the top speed is 131km/hr I tested even pickup speed is quick and faster.
There are too less costs of maintenance in this bike, just give time to-time service from the showroom. Even if don't want it serviced then no need to go to the showroom, just change the bike engine oil from time to time, and that's it!
There are no cons to this bike if you are a normal rider even if you want to faster ride no need to worry because it gives much power and smooth performance at 150cc.
This bike gives you the best mileage and performance!!

Bajaj Pulsar 150
13 weeks ago
Tejusv Joshi
Bought Pulsar 150 neon in March 2019. The initial experience was good but the condition deteriorated after that. I normally use the bike for daily commuting and generally keep rpm below 6k. The engine is very unrefined and gives vibration at and after 4k rpm. The rear tyre looks tilted from its angle and the Bajaj servicemen say that it can't be corrected. The rear suspension is very stiff.

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.
