Here’s the video:

Definitely Male and

Distinctly Ahead

I wanted to buy a Pulsar once I started earning, but then thinking about it, maybe I won’t buy anything. (For the salary I’ll get, I doubt if I can afford bikes and laptops and stuff. :) )

  7. @Sudharshan,

    Well, I think the fact that they are driving 220 cc bikes, makes it necessary that they wear helmets. Else, media will crucify them for the “irresponsible act”. I am equally upset. :) Maybe we can mail Bajaj and ask for the “making of ” video.

    @Hari,

    Not enough to buy a pulsar. In 6 months maybe.

  8. The ad was excellent. I loved it but still I hate the Pulsar 220. Its not looking good.

  9. Look doesn,t matter speed that matter in this bike will reach 100 in seconds!!!!!

  10. @Vinod,

    I agree with you in part. The 200 looks better actually. I like the new 150 and 180 equally. But 220 isn’t all that bad looking either.

    Also, looks is highly subjective. There are people who think Harley Davidson’s and Bullet’s rock. (Not that they don’t. Just that I don’t like them compared to sleeker bikes)

    @Aravindhan,

    I guess it’s always a combination of looks and performance. However some biking enthusiasts do prefer performance over looks.

  11. Harleys are cruisers! Not racing bikes!

    This is bike design:

  13. @Marc,

    Cruisers, choppers. I never said they are racing bikes now, did I ?

    Nice bike. Must be 1000 cc .

    Oh, and wordpress restrictions. Sorry about that. Talk to Matt. :)

  14. WordPress restrictions my ass. Works on my blog. Might be a theme issue or WordPress.com limitation.

    Marc

    March 26, 2008 at 5:02 pm

  15. Marc,

    WordPress.com restriction/limitation. Your’s is self hosted. You realised that and yet you typed the comment.

    Karthik

    March 26, 2008 at 6:05 pm

  16. I didn’t know WordPress.com hosting disallowed it. I thought your theme did.

  17. @ Aravindhan
    Many Indians prefer performance. Race bikes are not fit for our roads dude! Only performance matters here. Where will you drive at a speed of more than 100??? Only in few places (ECR, GST road after Tambaram and few other places only). Can you drive at that speed in the GST from tambaram to mount road? I doubt so). Our country roads are fit for bikes with 150c and below.
    @ karthik
    I too prefer the 200cc, 180cc and 150cc. This is not that bad but the older ones are better than this one. Apache has a great look compared to Pulsar.

    Vinod

    March 29, 2008 at 8:13 am

  18. @Vinod,

    I hate Apache!! Looks wise, it is not all that bad. The posture is pathetic for tall people. Seriously!! For you it could be fine. :)

    Karthik

    March 29, 2008 at 3:48 pm

  19. Apache looks like shit. Really ugly, especially from the front.

    By the way, mileage matters here. Not performance. Performance means speed and handling.

    Marc

    March 29, 2008 at 9:25 pm

  20. @ Marc
    Whatever!! Mileage will be better with lesser cc bikes and sports bikes will never give good mileage. A bike is for traveling and I don’t know why ppl are so obsessed about the looks and other things :D Looks don’t matter to me that much maybe because I don’t like these bikes stuff that much. If any spelling mistake then don’t bother about that :P and don’t say about my accidents and connect that with this thing. You were not near the incident and so there is no point in talking about it. ppl do fall under certain circumstances. I think I’ll have to put a post explaining why I fell down and whose fault was it.

    Vinod

    March 31, 2008 at 10:42 am

  21. @Vinod,

    Not necessarily, you know. The mileage , cc thing. You are saying you don’t care about the looks of the bike ?

    Karthik

    March 31, 2008 at 11:09 am

  22. Vinod, why didn’t you buy a TVS Excel then? Awesome mileage.

    A bike should not look like an final year mechanical engineering project.

  23. @Marc,

    Do you know my friends’ friends (whom I don’t know) made a vehicle on a suitcase (with space enough to store stuff as well) so that you could sit and drive if you got bored carrying it. :)

  24. I own PULSAR 150CC (analog model). It’s rocking, pick up as same at thetime I brought it. It is my younger brother who insisted me to go for it, or else i would have ended up with splendor :) Thanks a ton for him.

    Cominh to the new PULSAR MANIA ad, I have no words to describe it. I watch it more than 30 times a day in my mobile alone. Don’t ask me how many times I wiatch it on-line. It’s the best for all time. No one would come up with such a kooooooooool ad in future. I LOVE MY PULSAR. Looking forward for the next bike in ROYAL PULSAR FAMILY. Let’s call it ROYAL PULSAR here after.

    Thank you for reading this big cooment.

  25. @Madhu,

    Ah, nice to know you own a Pulsar. Nice vehicle. But then, I didn’t like the Old pulsars with the Round dome. I like the Wolf Eyes lamps better. The old one looked too macho.

    The video does leve one speechless. And the music is equally well done. I am sure they will come up with other ads in future. Talking about ads, there was this previous pulsar ad where they drive through elevators and stuff which was just as cool.

  26. Hi friends!
    What I feel for Pulsar 220, being a great fan of it is what I want to share with you. Truely believing that it’s a cool and a funky bike basically made for the hunks but seeing Pulsar 220 from a bit technical view I would like to suggest that it is not so appealing and satisfying as it seems to be from a single look.Not a perfect bike at high speeds, not a bike as per our wishes.A good substitute I can suggest is KARIZMA…. believe me.
    (total cost on road for pulsar220 is somewhat Rs1,10,000)

  27. @Siddhartha,

    Karizma is a nice bike indeed. Got to wait and see what refinements Bajaj people bring to the 220.

    Dude dont post wrong info if u dont hav an idea…Pulsar 220 on raod prices vary frm 85K to 91K dependin on the city u are in…i personally bought if for 86K….nd for the record the bike iz awesome….better than ANY other indian bike….i hav seen them all nd ridden them all…..better than karizma both in terms of mileage nd performance…

    May 30, 2008 at 5:27 am

  29. i personally dont hav any grudge wid HH guys….but all they seem to be doin these dayz is paint job…i mean karizma has been there for long time nd the only refinement that we hav seen is in the form of new stickers nd decals….its pathetic…time to invest some money in the R&D HH ppl….

    Sunny

    May 30, 2008 at 5:29 am

  30. talking in terms of technology F-I is much more enchanced technology and provides much better throttle response and pickup ( beefs up the mileage too…but thats not the concern here as its purely a performace bike )….

    October 23, 2008 at 12:21 pm

  36. @Karthick,
    Might we say, you love pulsar instead. ;)

    @Sameer,
    It’s nice to see someone who wants to wait till he earns before he buys himself a bike. Most kids these days take it for granted.

    Karthik

    October 25, 2008 at 2:44 pm

  37. i am sure that i will purchase this bike

  38. I love 200 more than 220.200 has great look than 220.it has good mileage, great look and handling in indian sport bike class. i indeed that 220 is more powerfull than 200 (only in power).one and only one problem in 220 is its design.i think it can be solved by replacing its rear tire to 130 (like fz 16) size and an engine cover.
