Bajaj Auto unveiled the next generation Pulsar today. The company has only unveiled the 200cc version of the second generation Pulsar, with smaller variants set to come in the later half of th eyear. However this time, there will be an even higher capacity Pulsar. All those who have been waiting for an affordable 350cc bike have reason to rejoice in 2013 as Rajiv Bajaj, MD and CEO of Bajaj Auto has confirmed on the sidelines of the Pulsar 200 NS launch that a Pulsar 350 will arrive in 2013! This Pulsar 350 will have competition from the likes of twin-cylinder 250cc motorcycles, which are soon to be launched in India by Yamaha and Hyosung.
Earlier this month (last week to be precise), when the KTM Duke 200 was launched, the company had revealed its plans to launch a 350cc Duke next year. Now its no rocket science that the Pulsar 200 NS and the Duke 200 share alot of engine parts. Thus, we expect the Duke 350 to arrive before the Pulsar 350 in 2013. Bajaj will use its own technology on the lower half block of the KTM motor to differentiate the Duke and Pulsar. Expect a price below Rs. 1.75 lakhs, with the Pulsar 350 using a twin-cylinder motor, producing close to 33 BHP of power and 25 Nm of torque. The Pulsar 350 might spawn new variants of the Pulsar series, giving Bajaj Auto the gateway to become a bigger motorcycle manufacturer.

Thats a great news, i have owned a Pulsar 150 and Avenger 180(current). I have become so used to with the cruiser styling, i cant think of driving any other bike. I love harley, triumph and other cruiser bike brands but they are way out of my budget. Before Avenger 200cc was launched i was expecting a major upgrade from Bajaj (some 350cc+ cruiser), but they launched a 200cc bike(Just 20cc more), i was disappointed. With the 350cc pulsar coming next year, I hope they install the same heart in Avenger as well as they have been doing it so far. Add more weight to it(175-185kg), rear disc brakes, 22+ltr tank, loud and heavy exhaust note, better suspension(esp. for pot holes, gravel and wet surface), even wider tyres, decent mileage and keep the price competitive(under 1.5 lakh). That will make it a complete beast and it will be a huge success, i am sure there are many people in India who are starving for powerful cruiser bikes but there aren’t many options to choose from. Please Bajaj make it happen.

Mandeep, the 200 NS’s engine debuting in the Avenger can’t be ruled out.

The only direction for Bajaj is “LOOKING AHEAD”. Feel so good to see an Indian manufacturer holding the sword high.
