Bajaj Pulsar Insurance

The Bajaj Pulsar 150 is one of the best-selling 150cc motorcycles for a reason. It looks attractive, is fuel-efficient, offers decent performance, and is the best value proposition among its peers. It sets the bar for value in its segment, with pricing that matches that of premium 125cc commuter motorcycles. It is priced between Rs 92,000 to Rs 1.03 lakh, ex-showroom Delhi, depending on the variant.

The Bajaj Pulsar 150 is available in three variants, two of which offer a rear drum brake while the premium variant offers a disc brake at the rear. However, if you pick a variant with a rear drum brake, you’ll get a slightly smaller front brake disc (240/260mm vs 280mm).

All variants offer a single-channel ABS system linked to the front brake. The Bajaj Pulsar 150 Neon is the base variant, and costs approximately Rs 92,627, ex-showroom Delhi. This is offered in a matte black paint scheme with accents if you want them in silver, red, or neon lime green. It manages that eye-popping price by offering the old-style tank extensions and eschewing the belly scoop altogether.

The next variant is the Pulsar 150 single disc, which is available in gloss black with either grey or red accents. It gets the same front disc and front forks as the Pulsar 150 Neon but adds a belly scoop to it. Both variants also get slightly narrower tyres than the twin disc variant. The Bajaj Pulsar 150 single disc is priced at Rs 99,584 ex-showroom Delhi.

However, if you choose to put Rs 1.03 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) down on a Pulsar 150, it will net you the Pulsar 150 twin disc variant, with a 230mm rear disc brake instead of the 130mm drum. You also get the larger front brake disc and wider tyres front and rear, which make it look much better. It gets added sportiness thanks to the split seat, which is not available on the other two variants. The Bajaj Pulsar 150 Twin Disc is available in gloss black, with either red or blue accents.

The feature set of the Bajaj Pulsar 150 variants is quite similar other than the paint scheme, belly scoop, and the split seat that is available only with the twin disc variant. The instrument cluster offers an analogue tachometer, but everything else is digital. The speedometer, fuel gauge, odometer, and twin trip meters are all digital.

It offers Bajaj’s patented DTS-i twin spark tech, which offers higher power and better fuel efficiency as well. Government mandates have added an always-on headlamp and ABS for the brakes as well.

As mentioned before, the Pulsar 150 still is the king of value. The fit and finish of this motorcycle are great, the paint schemes are attractive, and after all these years, the Pulsar 150 still manages to look like the sportiest of the older generation of 150cc motorcycles.

The instrumentation still has the large analogue tachometer, but it doesn’t lack for features. You get twin trip meters, and all other information like speed and fuel level are displayed digitally. It has always featured LED taillamps, and in the twin disc variant, it offers a split seat, which is again something its rivals don’t offer.

The ex-showroom price of the Pulsar 150 does not consider other charges like insurance and registration fees. The RTO charge or registration fee is a one-time fee that is valid for a period of 14 years from the date of registration. However, the RTO charges might vary from state to state, so it is best to consult your local dealer/RTO about the charges applicable where you live.

The Pulsar 150 competes with other 150cc commuter motorcycles. Its biggest rival in the segment is the Honda CB Unicorn 150; although the Unicorn 150 leans toward being a commuter motorcycle. For a sportier alternative, one can consider the TVS Apache RTR 160 that is priced slightly less than the Unicorn. Add 10% in ex-showroom value to the Pulsar 150’s price, and you can have access to the modern crop of 150/160cc sporty commuters, including the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Hero Xtreme 160R, and Yamaha FZ-S FI.
