improvements on the pulsar

Time and again, Bajaj has improved Pulsar, just when people were saying that it was getting a little dated and jaded. It is one bike that completely changed the business style of Bajaj and with it, it also changed the way biking was perceived in India. Before the advent of Pulsar, four stroke bikes were considered to be the choice of the married office-goer, the uncle-types, typically delivering a mileage in excess of 60-70 km per litre. The Hero Honda Splendor came to be symbolic of the sedate four stroker. On the exciting side were bikes like Yamaha RX 100 and 125, but after the two strokers were banned, they quickly became collectors pieces. When people were confused as to what to do, Bajaj came up with the Pulsar and suddenly, four strokers were a lot more exciting. People who wanted the thrills of RX 100 were spellbound by what the Pulsar had to offer. A damn powerful and quick bike, one that even returned a good mileage. That was what Pulsar was. Whatever is done in India related to bikes, the topic invariably veers to mileage. Even in the niche market of power bikes, the ugly head of mileage raises its head. The stunning looking CBZ was doomed because of its poor mileage, though it was a great bike to ride. The latest in the series of Pulsars, the DTS-Fi is still yet to hit the roads, but it has already started turning heads thanks to the scores of photos of it that have appeared in almost all motoring mags in India. It seems to be an exciting package.
