Indian Bikes - Segment Width increases

As per the current scenario in our Indian Automobile Industry especially the motorcycle segment is itself increases its width and in volume. Each segment bike has Economy and Performance range with in it. (Say100 cc segment which is meant for Economy has also got performance range included in it)

The change in the market segment is actually based on the requirements of the people of India who actually have varied taste in choosing their bikes.

Initially 100cc segment bikes ruled the roads in 90's. But later 2000 every thing started to change and the new era has begun. Pulsar, CBZ, Karizma are one among them who increased the demand for performance bikes.

However, today the trend has been changed and people look into performance even for the 100c bikes, this can be understood by the overwhelming response for the CB Twister. Very soon we'll be analyzing the best bikes that were released in the market recently.

Pulsar 220S - Rebel wanted its old mask

The New Pulsar 220i which was introduced with the Faired Head Lamp is also launhed without Fairing. The 220i with Fairing will be called as 220F and other one one without Fairing is called as 220S.

What are the advantages of 220S over 220F:

• The Pulsar 220S will be 2.25Kgs lesser than the 220F and hence the bike's power to weight ration is bit higher than 220F
• We cant find major difference in Pickup and Top Speed, but in windy roads and traffic filled roads, the new 220S riders will be benefited a lot.
• Just because it doesnot contain a fairing, it costs nearly 5K lesser than 220F
  

What are the disadvantages:

• The 220S Bike will be more similar to its younger sibling 180 except the silencer which makes the difference.
• Also the rebellious look will be missed when we compare the 220S with 220F

Other than that the bike will surely create a tough competition to the other manufacturers as Bajaj has got variety and perfect competitors for every aspect of bike range in India.

Rocking Year for Bajaj 2010

The Bajaj, leader of Indian bikes who has been stated that "They'll loose Market" after the Re-entry of Yamaha (with its R15 and FZ-series bikes) and Suzuki (with GS150R).

But times are not for a long time. Pulsar revamped again the statmenet.

The New Pulsar 135, Pulsar 150, Pulsar 180, Pulsar 220i and Finally Ninja. All in a row within a short span of 3 months made a better market competition and out of it Bajaj won because of its Good performance bike engines provided at a low cost with good fuel efficiency too.

So What more to say...

Bajaj has rocked again and made their possession more stronger in the Market.

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!!!

HeroHonda Karizma Fi - The Return of the Dangerous

HeroHonda Karizma, a long time winner of Indian bikes which has conquered the first place with its Style and Majestic appearance until Pulsar200 was released. Even after better bikes arrived it still has a name in the Hearts of Indians.

When the rivalries started increasing the company was just cool and simply upgraded the bike to minute level to meet the conflicts. Now the time has come since the International Level bikes started approaching Indian Markets. Rumours have been started that Top Heroes Bajaj, TVS and HeroHonda started preparing their new competitive Engine. Out of which TVS authority released the news about its Apahe RTR 180 menace.

Bajaj disguised Disover 150 with its old pulsar engine. So a secret lies behind.

Most astonishing rumour that came out was the HeroHonda was now preparing for its Upgraded Karizma and Going to brand it with "Fi".Specifications: Karizma R (Expected Karizma Fi)

1. Engine Capacity: 223cc (same)
2. Engine Type : 4 stroke SOHC Engine(same)
3. Output Power: 17bhp@7000rpm (more than 21bhp@7500rpm)
4. Engine Torque: 18nm@6000rpm(more than 20nm@6000rpm)
5. Weight: 150kgs (same)
6. Tank Capacity: 15Ltrs(16Ltrs)
7. Gear:5 speed(not confirmed)
8. Body Type: Single Cradle, Diamond(same)
9. Top Speed: 125kmph (more than 130kmph)

Other Features which are in Rumours:

1. HeroHonda is also keenly working on Digitalising its bike(upgrading current Microprocessor system)
2. Dual Discs(am not sure)
3. Digital Cockpit(If its true, Bike will have 100% success)
4. Top Speed: 145kmph(Honda CBR150R - 160kmph)
   

So I hope that the Karizma Fi will be the most dangerous answer from HEroHonda to its rivals.

Lets Hope for the Best from HeroHonda again.

Cheers!!!
