We have got the inside dope on the next version of India's largest-selling performance bike!By:BSM |Published :June 01, 2011 

It’s true - the new Pulsar is around the corner! And don’t ask us how we know, but we’ve got all that you want to know before the reincarnated Pulsar is launched! In order to coincide with 10 years of the Pulsar brand, the new one will be launched with two engine variants, just like the first one - history repeats itself! Now, on with the details.

First of all, the looks: the new Pulsar has got a complete redesign and makes a departure from the look of the older series. What it will do, is build on and upsize the design language of the Pulsar 135 and borrow a few design cues from the KTM Duke 125. Since the existing Pulsar already sports clip-on handlebars, alloy wheels, digital instruments and LED lights, with the P220 also sporting a projector lamp, it’s safe to say that these details will continue on the newer ones too, albeit with refreshed and more contemporary styling and materials. Proper machined rear-sets will add the cool quotient, while the pillion footpegs will be located on a separate subframe, allowing for a clean look. The bigger Pulsar, rumoured to be a 200cc variant will get differentiating details like a stepped seat, for example. Also, since the engine is KTM-based, we won’t be surprised if the exhaust ends under the engine (just like the Duke), leaving the rear end to be dominated by fat rubber. A skimpy rear numberplate bracket will round off the package - we just hope that Bajaj doesn’t stick on an ugly rear mudguard like the P135’s! However, overall, you can expect a full-size, sharp looking motorcycle along with great colour options.
