Is the Pulsar 150 still relevant in 2025?

The Indian motorcycle market has been a staple of the Bajaj Pulsar 150 for more than two decades now. The core formula has not really changed and it’s seen countless updates and revisions. Given newer, more technologically advanced bikes making their way to the market and especially in the 150 – 160cc section of the market one can no longer help but wonder if the Pulsar 150 still carries its weight in today’s era. For some, it’s a reliable choice, thanks to its time tested design and proven reliability; others see it as out of date in terms of features and performance. There's also the nostalgia aspect to it — a lot of riders have good memories of the Pulsar from their younger self. So is nostalgia enough to keep a bike relevant in an increasingly fast moving market?
