As we had reported earlier, some of the technology related with the new Pulsar was to be revealed this December. Bajaj was keen on calling some of the better known journos for a preview of the new tech incorporated in the heart of the new Pulsar, and we were all excited. Seems like the bike maker has decided to defer the preview and launch to a later date. The bike will now be shown only by the end of January after the Expo 2012 is over. Bajaj Auto will not be showcasing any two wheelers at this year’s Expo, as the focus will be on exhibiting its new four wheeled products, including a new commercial vehicle and most likely the more refined version of its ULC, or the Ultra Low Cost car. The new Pulsar, in all probability will now be showcased to the media during the last week of January.
While that may sound like bad news to a lot of Pulsar fans, the good news is that there is finally some clarity on the KTM 200 Debut. Bajaj Auto will start giving the motoring journo community the first test ride of the machine in a couple of days, which means that the launch cannot be too far away. Some of our friends from the industry may be riding the highly anticipated machine as we write this, so we can expect a market introduction before the Expo. The story will unfold completely in the next couple of days, so stay tuned.
@ColdGold: The seating is not that bad…but being used to a more relaxed rearset on the Karizma and the CBR pegs are higher in comparison and my statement on comfort was based on the touring point of view.Yeah, the bike does look superb!
@JK: Am at a loss to understand your comments wondering what makes you say that its silly. I didn't mention anything about the performance between the two- never rode a Ninja. I've stated what I have observed- not what other blogs and sites are saying about the bike. In fact its you who's talking about the comparison and am sure its based on pure reading rather than having ridden any of the two bikes. And as far as deleting comments go- am just a follower and member of Motoroids like you are, I don't have rights to delete any comment. Like I said I have put across my experience of having ridden the bike and not posting WHATEVER I LIKE. And as regards to the checking of the review of Motoroids go- I once again wonder as to what you want to be checked.
@Deepak Dongre You do delete comments on your post…don't hv words to support your review. Then why are you posting wat ever you like..and how come motoroids post your review on net without checking the in and out of this review
whole world*
@Deepak Dongre
lol…the who world is comparing Honda CBR250R with Ninja 250R and claiming that CBR is much advanced than little Ninja…
But You find it as silly to compare it 😛
Guess u do read other blogs n sites..
I have seen both the Red and the Black mikes in Bangalore. I have booked black but after seeing both live, the red was looking much better to me. The showroom guy told me that Silver is even better and is expecting a Silver Bike soon. Also, mentioned that after the Silver model was displayed in Bombay, the bookings for the silver model has shot up.
I am waiting for the test ride. I am 5'11 and R15 was totally ruled out after I did the first test ride due to the seating position. This is the only thing that may decide whether I will buy or not. I appreciate some details about this in the article. I am also curiously waiting for the test ride. Another week in Bangalore. Hope the seating position turns out comfortable. The bike looks superb.
