Bajaj Auto finally discloses all the dope about the street-fighter Pulsar 220 that we have been talking about all this while

Bajaj has unveiled its latest mischief maker. Yes, the Pulsar 220 in the naked-street-fighter avatar is ready for launch. No it won't carry the 'F' or the 'S' at the end of its name but promises to be almost 4kg lighter that its sibling, the Pulsar 220 F DTS-i, thanks to the smaller fairing. Hopefully it will be able to out run its faired sibling. So do we have a new fastest Indian in our hands... guess we'll have to wait for the BIKE India Road Test.

The new Pulsar 220 will bear a price tag of Rs 69,425 (ex-showroom Delhi) while the existing Pulsar 220F will see a hike of Rs 1,400 and will now cost Rs 72,430 (ex-showroom Delhi).

There's more news from the Bajaj stable. How about 2010 Pulsar 150cc?
The Pune based firm has tweaked the 150cc Pulsar a bit as it was getting overshadowed by the recently launched younger sibling Pulsar 135. The 2010 edition of the Pulsar 150 DTS-i UG-IV (fourth upgrade) can churn up a little more power of 15.06 Ps @ 9000 rpm and breathes through a bigger carburettor (UCD29). It also promises to feature a new intake system & new exhaust technology though externally it looks similar to the previous model. But the 2010 Pulsar 150 does sport clip-on handlebars to give it a more dynamic stance. Price at Rs 60,020 (ex-showroom Delhi) the new 150cc Bajaj will cost Rs 500 more than the current one.
