Bajaj Auto finally unveiled their all new motorcycle, 2012 Pulsar in India on 30th January and recently there were speculations  that some of the Bajaj Auto dealers had started taking bookings at INR 5000 .
But recently we have been notified by one of our readers Pranay  that Booking of 200 NS has been delayed to end of April.

Another breaking news coming from the sidelines is Bajaj Auto is busy making changes to production Version of Pulsar 200 NS .

The list of changes include :

• Bajaj Auto is  ironing out small issues and improving the quality of the bike.

• The company is making improvements to the production version as prototypes showcased earlier had small niggles.

• Bajaj Auto will be giving the Pulsar 200 NS a more powerful headlight. The prototype had a 35 watt bulb, but the production version will have a 55 watt bulb.

• Bajaj Auto has also made changes to the rear mudguard, which will now have a matte black treatment, instead of the glossy finish we have seen on the concept version.

• The instrument cluster lights will receive some changes too, for improved visibility in the day.

• The bike will be offered with MRF and TVS tyres and the company is expected to give an option to the buyer to chose his preferred make

About the technical aspects ,Pulsar 200 NS engine will have 3 sparks - Triple Spark Ignition System instead of the traditional twin - spark system which are seen in the current Pulsar motorcycles. Pulsar 200 NS is powered by a 199.5 cc engine that will generate a maximum power of 23 bhp @ 9,500 rpm and will deliver a maximum torque of 18.3 Nm at 8,000 rpm. 

Dry weight of new Pulsar 200 NS is 145 kgs. Bajaj new Pulsar 200 NS will have a top speed of 136 kmph, making it one of the fastest motorcycle made by Indian manufacturer. Bajaj new Pulsar 200 NS will be able to accelerate from 0-60 kmph in just 3.8 seconds while it will take just 9.8 seconds to cross 0-100 kmph mark. Apart from these exceptional figures, Pulsar 200 NS delivers a mileage of 58 kmpl when driven at a constant speed 55 kmph.

It has been really heartening to see that even hardcore "Pulsar" haters couldn't stop themselves from praising the new Pulsar. It should probably see light of day in April end and that the price will be under Rs 1 lakh , lets see how it fares in the Indian market .

And mind you we are the first one in media – to burst out this news.

Bajaj Avenger Cruiser To Get 2012 Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS Engine– Rumor or Fact?

Bajaj Auto recently unveiled the Pulsar 200 NS, which uses an all new triple spark engine. After the unveil of the P200 NS happened, there have been talks of what will follow. A full faired version of the Pulsar 200 NS has been confirmed, so has the launch of the Pulsar 350 in 2013. Smaller Pulsars will be launched too in their second generation avatar, using parts and technology from the Pulsar 200 NS. But among all this Pulsar talk, we seem to have forgotten the good old Bajaj Avenger, which is a very commendable motorcycle in its own right.

Now this is pure speculation but Bajaj Auto will eventually upgrade the Avenger with the Pulsar 200 NS’ engine. The two-wheeler major has done it before too with the Pulsar 220′s engine finding way into the Avenger. The Bajaj Avenger uses the Pulsar 220′s 219.89 cc motor to produce 19 PS of power at 8400 RPM and 17.5 Nm of torque at 7000. This is marginally lesser than the Pulsar 220 which produces 20.8 BHP at 8500 RPM and 19.12 Nm at 7000 RPM.

Now what Bajaj Auto might do is put the Pulsar 200 NS’ 199.5 cc engine into the Avenger. This 3-spark, liquid cooled unit features 4-valve technology and could give a tremdous boost to the performance of the Avenger. We can expect around 23 BHP of power and 18 Nm of torque on the Avenger, which will make the cruiser quite quick for its size and price. The Avenger has a 14-litre fuel tank, including a 3.4 litre reserve, which will be ample for long distance cruising (if Bajaj Auto’s claim of 58 km/l mileage at a speed of 55 km/h is to be believed).

With 260 mm discs at the front and 130 mm drum at the rear, brakes of the Avenger are good. The Avenger runs on 90/90 x 17 tyres at the front and 130/90 x 15 tyres at the rear. The suspension is telescopic and hydraulic shock absorber and the adaptation of a monoshock will make a tremendous difference to the bike. At a weight of 154.4 kgs, the Avenger is not really heavy. The 60/55 w headlamp are good for the highways. Can Bajaj start a motorcycle revolution for cruisers?
