200 No longer.

As most of you will already be knowing that, Pulsar 200 will no longer be in production. All those versions with 220's fairing, big forks have proved to be just concepts. I must admit that this particular news has dampened my spirit. I will never understand why most beautiful bike in Bajaj's stable was ultimately turned into an organ donor. However as the things stand out today, the 180 is the new 200, so buyer's won't be missing much atleast in looks department. What baffled me was the inclusion of those tank scoops on 150, besides of course the all black treatment. But as you all know, Bajaj engineers,designers,managers and what not are obviously better than me at judging people's requirements. Then again, "personally" me isn't a bit happy about this.
The termination news also brings a question on whether I should continue with the blog. This might as well turn out to be last post on the blog.
Until I change my mind.

Kawasaki Ninja ZX14 - Green Super Sport

Kawasaki Ninja ZX14 comes under the Hyper sports category with a stunning appearance and aggressive riding position, the bike fits more or less all category of bike enthusiasts.

The ZX14 being the best one in terms of torque (Engine pickup) far better than Hayabusa, it falls down when it comes for the Top Speed category (Output Power), that's the reason why ZX14 misses the no.1 position.

but ZX14 becomes no.1 in fuel efficiency. It consumes less fuel than other competitors. Even Honda which has announced that its will not cross 300Kmph, cannot provide a good mileage which is provided by ZX14. (source: Wikipedia)

Specifications:
Displacement: 1352cc
Engine Type: 4 stroke, DOHC, Liquid Cooled, Fuel injected
Output Power: 140Bhp@11000rpm
Engine Torque: 155nm@7500rpm
Top Speed: above 300Kmph (364Kmph - from third party tests)

The bike is expecting to be launched in India in the third quarter. Also sources says that the bike will be priced less than 10Lacs (Hayabusa is sold at 11.5 Lacs)

Cheers!!!

Pulsar vs Karizma - Which is the Best?

It is a long time rival between the Great Karizma and the Rocking Pulsar.

From the year 2003, the competition between P180 and Karizma started. P180 however hard it fought with Karizma.

Pulsar 180 which has an output power of 15Bhp was refined to an unbeatable 16.51Bhp but Karizma had still 16.7Bhp(New Karizma has 17Bhp - so what? new pulsar 180 also produces 17Bhp)

But because of the higher cubic capacity of the engine and better engine torque Karizma stays ahead of Pulsar 180.

But Bajaj has not stopped and launched P200 with 18Bhp(1Bhp more than KarizmaR) which overtook Karizma in all means.

Pulsar 220 was not released concentrating on Karizma. Karizma can be compared only with Pulsar 180 and 200.

Pulsar 220 has latest ergonomics, design style and fairing much better than Karizma but not the Majestic appearance that Karizma has from its beginning.

I'm not opposer of Karizma but the engine needs up gradation to withstand in the current Market situation.

To be frank Pulsar is 4 steps ahead (Distinctly Ahead) than Karizma. May be the new Karizma Fi might overtake the Pulsar 220Fi but before that pulsar launched its new fastest again Pulsar220i with bigger carburetor with unbeatable speed.

So its not worthwhile delaying the time lines for the release of a new bike.

Until or Unless Karizma releases a new bike (Provided it should be better than at least Pulsar 200 in its engine performance) Karizma in not better than Pulsar.

Cheers!!!

Pulsar 220 DTSi - Fear the Fastest Guy

The New Bajaj Pulsar 220 DTS-i, the all new name of the Bajaj's power packed series of Entry Level Sport bike.

Again the Pulsar has become the leader overtaking its international branded competitor YAMAHA.

Actually, it was bajaj who changed the carburetor Engine into Fuel injected engine, which is too costly and the fuel injector was prepared by Delphi. Hence this replacement of carburetor instead of Fi has saved lots and lots of money along with that Si was an already available technology which also contributed lesser R&D expenses. So the bike was priced less than INR 71,000(which is a steal for Indian youths)

In the latest P220, pulsar had implemented its own carburetor Engine with its equipped technology of swirled induction, which was implemented in tiny 125 and 135cc engines.

The new carburetor which is quick larger than other carburetors provided the bike extra speed and with a better mileage.

The only constraint is pick up of P220Fi is slightly missing in new P220, but the top speed which even crosses 140 gradually is considered to be the best part and makes it a Fastest Indian.

I have decided my next bike. Have you???

Cheers!!!
