The P150 is the latest Bajaj Pulsar motorcycle that has been positioned between the 150 and the N160. We spent a day with the motorcycle to give you our first impression

Pumped Up Pulsar

THE BAJAJ PULSAR range was introduced in 2001 with the launch of the 150 and the 180. Since then, there have been various iterations of the models and the Pulsar brand has gained immense popularity. Fast forward to 2022 and with the launch of the new P150, Bajaj currently have 10 models on sale ranging from a 125-cc Pulsar to their flagship 250-cc offerings. So let us check out the changes in this model when compared to the previous generation Pulsar 150 and find out who this motorcycle will appeal to.

In terms of design, we see a silhouette of the N160, although this one looks more like a blend between a sporty naked streetfighter and a commuter. The bike gets an LED projector headlight and tail-light, a well-sculpted 14-litre tank, and an underbelly exhaust unit. The instrument cluster has a simple layout and gets a gear position indicator as well as a distance-to-empty indicator. Right behind the console on the tank is a USB charger for added convenience.

There are two variants on offer that have some distinguishing elements. We received the top-end twin-disc variant sporting the bright Caribbean Blue paint scheme for this review. This variant gets a split-seat setup for a sportier stance compared to the single-seat unit on the single-disc variant. It also makes use of clip-on handlebars instead of the flat handlebar on the single-disc variant, and both the variants also use different tyre configurations on the 17-inch alloys; the one we were riding had MRF rubber (90/90 at the front, 110/80 at the rear), while the single-disc variant has Ceat tyres (80/100 front and 100/90 rear).
