Superb 150cc Bike
Sunday, November 04, 2007Pulsar has been a major hit in the market; it comes in four variants: Pulsar 150 DTSi, Pulsar 180 DTSi, Pulsar 200 DTSi & Pulsar 220 DTSi. Bajaj Pulsar DTSi comes with a throttle actuated ignition-control system that works in conjunction with a chip-controlled digital capacitor discharge ignition (CDI) system for accurate ignition timing under all conditions.
The dual spark design accelerates and evens out flame propagation, which results in more efficient combustion and hence leads to better performance.Pulsar's 150cc engine delivers a power output of 13.5bhp at 8000 rpm. It has wonderful pickup with 0-60kmph in 5.66 seconds. It develops a maximum torque of 12.28 Nm @ 6500 rpm. It looks great with its mean muscular aerodynamic shape.
Apart from the smashing look, Pulsar has lighter yet stronger alloy wheels, which when coupled with the longest wheelbase (1330mm) enhance the stability of the bike and at the same time make it more agile. It has a perfect blend of style and functionality. The posture is very flexible. You can sit at ease on it, or you can go all-out and stick your nose into the petrol tank. Shocks are good, vibrations are minimal, switches are laid out conveniently, there’s a tacho, a beam-flasher.
The pillion is also comfortable, except for the grab-bar, which is a bit too small.It gives a mileage of 55-60 kmpl and Bajaj Pulsar 180 DTSi gives a mileage of 45-50 kmpl. Overall it is very good bike with good looks, feel, handling and mileage.
