Bajaj Pulsar DTS-I & FI













Bajaj Pulsar DTS-I and FI
The new 200 cc Pulsar DTS-i and other Pulsar models have FI features comes with additional style features that make the new Pulsar even more desirable.
The Pulsar family comes with the Digital Speedo Meter. Apart from the features like Digital Speedo Meter.Digital Odometer.Digital Trip Meter,Digital Fuel Gauge that are present in the 150 CC and 180 CC variants.The Pulsar 220 DTS-FI model is Top of category.The Great Combination of Power Segment.
Now I’m not perfect vehicle freak anymore, but one thing that’s really caught my imagination lately is the new Bajaj Pulsar. I think it’s the closest ever India’s come to a powerbike and it’s really shocking that a bike with such power is coming from Bajaj’s stable which has been famous for only scooters in the past. The original Pulsar, which came around 6 years back I guess has totally stolen the market from the likes of Hero Honda and the other companies. It was very impressive at that time with it’s 150 and 180 cc models. Then in 2009, when Pulsar was already ruling the market, and with CBZ Xtreme,TVS Apache 160 RTR,Yamaha and Karizma failing to do any damage, Bajaj announced a new revamped Pulsar. This one had a more suave look, LCD speedometer and double split taillights and the best part was, the price remained the same. With the coming of 2009, this new range of Pulsars has been rocking the roads and on an early deserted morning, you can easily find someone on a Pulsar doing a 200 kmph or wheelies etc. The hottest selling model at this time is the 200 cc Pulsar. It has the LED display, split backlights, new styled headlamps, a more aerodynamic body,transparent indicators and the best part, a huge and wide rear wheel which provides excellent grip and speed.
The Pulsar has been declared the “Bike of the Year – 2009″ by Autocar, the pioneer automobile magazine. This is just the beginning, and I think it wouldn’t be long before Hayabusa’s start making there way down here because the new Indian biker has money, and he loves speed. Gonna leave you with pictures of the 200 cc and the 220 cc Pulsar.
Digital Photography of Bikes:-
Those are a lot of colours out there. The road has promises and great images on the Indian Highway system are just a finger press away. Here is the Pulsar220 posing on NH2 as a whole bunch of vehicles of all kinds zip by!
Photo Data: A Canon SX110 with an 9megapixel and 10x zoom was used for this. Aperture set to 8, focus done on the tail lamp of the Pulsar220, Auto focus locked, camera placed on the road and fired. Shutter speed was about 6 seconds! Hence no hand holding allowed! No post editing done.We love this image. The evening was in and fog decided to make an appearance. So we pulled over, got the Pulsar220 into a service lane and got this image.
Exactly the same as Colours of the Indian Highway.Notice the white streak on the left of the frame formed by headlights of traffic hurtling by!

Indian Govt approves Yamaha's proposal


Things have been moving at a fast pace for Yamaha in India. After the recent success of the R15 / FZ16 and FZS, the Indian Government recently approved Yamaha's proposal to transfer its Indian sales business to a new entity -- India Yamaha Motor Pvt Ltd.


Yamaha Motor India Sales Pvt Ltd (YMISPL) had sought approval to transfer its business to India Yamaha Motor Pvt Ltd (IYMPL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yamaha Motor Co, Japan.

The proposal, which does not involve fresh investments, has been approved, an official statement said.

Yamaha's proposal had been deferred earlier by the FIPB following objections raised by industry ministry saying that allowing import would lead to retail trading.
The board later cleared it after Yamaha said there would be no retail trading.

In its application, YMISPL had sought to transfer its business, including sales of two-wheelers not only manufactured in India but also imported from Yamaha group companies outside, along with other products such as all terrain vehicles, generators, golf carts and unmanned helicopters.

Does this mean Yamaha will foray into ATV in the coming future? Unmanned helicopters too? Bring it on guys!

R15's nightmare : the new TVS Apache RTR 180 Menace is here

The long awaited TVS Apache RTR 180 Menace is here. According to www.bhp-india.blogspot.com, TVS has leaked the TV commercial for the 180cc RTR Menace and oh boy, does she look hot!
Though there are just a few changes to the body, the white color really looks hot. What however is more important is the engine - 180cc and 17.3PS of power.

The RTR 160 already ran close to the R15 in terms of performance, and well, we think, the new 180 Menace will easily out perform the R15 in acceleration and yes, on the track too.

See this video of the new TVS Apache RTR 180 Menace, and yes, enjoy!!
