The thought of a next pulsar is good enough to create a delight in the Indian biking scene but sadly it isn’t going up from 220 but down from 150. I am not sure if the 135 would have the pulsar pedigree because Bajaj haven’t been able to make a proper bike below the 150cc cut off (riding the discover gives me a feeling of sitting on a log, the XCD throws at me a overwhelming feel of plastics) but from the looks of it they certainly have tried.
The 135 Pulsar will definitely be a badass is what the impression I get from the pictures, it does seems to stand out from the Bajaj cheepos. The head light for instance is one of the most insane designs I have seen after the original Fazer’s Martian eyes. It has the shape of the Transformers Auto bots logo with diamonds filled in. the wind shield on top of that complements perfectly the headlight cluster.
They tried passing on this aggressive design cue to the rear and have failed. To make the rear sportier Pulsar 135 started off with losing its conventional rear mudguard (which begs in for a tail mounted number plate) which would make the tire and its threads more visible and give the rear the needed aggressive attire but Bajaj went with the mudguard which clinches on close with the tire and ruins the illusion.
Tank which is the only thing every Pulsar has in common is thrown out for good and replace with a smaller, plain and rightly proportioned tank. The air scoops on either sides of it go well with the wild look which is also complemented by the middle gray plastic clip on. The seats are split in the interest of making it stand up from the XCD 135 and so are the split grab rails and split handle bar. The exhaust looks new and points down towards the tip which might make an interesting sound. Speaking of sound the Pulsar 135 is making, Bajaj has launched a teaser website with a teaser trailer.
