Pulsar 150 NS fully production model shown in Turkey, with 17 bhp of power

                             THE ANALYSIS ON  UPCOMING BAJAJ PULSAR 150 NS

Bajaj showcase Pulsar 150 NS at Recently held Trade Fair in Turkey, Bike looks exactly same as last time displayed in Turkey with exception in tall windshield at front, For the first time bike's tail cowl have written 150NS clearly, thus confusion regarding powerplant's displacement sort outs.
150 NS is inspired by it's bigger brother 200 NS , the research and development efforts taken in 200 NS, Bajaj is putting in 150 NS so it's no surprise 150 NS share's large no of parts with 200 NS such as headlamp assembly,signals,perimeter frame,rider and pillion seats,riders and pillion footpegs, front disk brake, switches, instrument cluster, mighty looking tank, rear tail cowl, tail lamp and grab rails hushh that's hell of parts sharing, so much so that 150 NS and 200 NS are unable distinguish to normal eyes until they don't look at rear mudgaurd.

Let's have look at it's power unit, the displacement is remain same as before 149.5cc but rather than heavy revising, we believe it's new power plant with slight change in bore and stroke because engine is now producing 17 bhp at stratospheric 9000 rpm and peak torque of 13 nm come's at 7500 rpm, looking at those no's coming at such high rpm there's hint that engine is slightly short stroke , as we speculated earlier engine is mated to 4 valve setup this is also major cause to move power figure's higher in rev range, driven by 5 speed gearbox this is triple spark engine with air cooled setup. We highly believe that this engine is refine than previous one but low and mid power range surge of previous gen motor is given away for high rev biased nature, therefor engine doesn't sounds like city friendly instead it'll good for highway blasts, let Bajaj's exhaust tech do it's working for torque availability cause exhaust tech box can be seen hanging to the exhaust pipe just below engine.

Box section swing arms seems same as previous, holding 17 inch rims with 200 NS rims design, there is something which isn't seems right with bike ! that's rear drum brake? Bajaj are you kidding ? hope they will keep rear disk at least as an option. split seat setup is exactly as 200NS and we believe pillion comfort is going to be hampered compare to previous version, also rider seat is seems to be higher side which is bad considering previous one was good even for short riders. anything above 800 mm is worst for short riders.

With such heavy amount of overhauling this 150NS is going to be bloody good in it's handling and riding dynamics hats of to that perimeter frame and monoshock, it's level of performance which was previously accessible to only R15 and baby fireblade.

150 NS is expected to launch post to launch event of 200 SS , !50 NS with compete with Suzuki Gixxer ,Yamaha FZ series, but with big amount in power numbers probably 150 NS will be segment leader in India.

Pulsar 150 NS Spied with short license plate bracket, Just like 200 NS !

Image source: Overdrive.in

       The smallest displacement next gen pulsar is still being tested in India, according to few reports It was to be name as 160 NS. But as showed in Turkey there was no sign of naming 160 NS, instead it was called as plain 150. Not even NS. that might not true for Indian market. As we have stated various possibilities among power plants, It seems like engine might keep its 150 cc displacement with 4 valve camshaft which will help this pulsar to produce more power among competition as there is no 150 - 160 cc naked bike having 4 valve setup. Unlike camouflage body, this test mule is in fully body colors which is same as 200 NS white. One more change here we can see is rear tail section unlike previous test mules or even bike which shown in Turkey: long conventional tail section is given away for sporty short bracket tail section just like 200 NS.
Bike is almost identical to 200 NS with few changes. The rear drum brake which might come disk as an option in final model and front radiator is missing due to air cool motor though oil cooler might make its way to production version.

Pulsar 160ns may called just Pulsar 150. Sounds like strategic move by Bajaj !

Front end looks almost exactly same as 200 ns.

Currently lower spectrum of pulsar is consisting of pulsar 180 and pulsar 150 which are soon going to get overhaul, inspired by 200 ns . As globally pulsar 160 ns have been shown specifically in Turky what we can conclude now is as speculated earlier the pulsar 160ns may not called as 160ns instead it will continue to be called as 150. at least images pointing out that.

split seats going to make scary ride for ladies who prefer to sit with one side legs.

 

There is even one more possibility that this new pulsar may kept above current pulsar 150,   

 But why? because as seen in images this bike is outright sporty compare to current pulsar 150 , Just look at its split seat , broad clipon , open type chain or hard monoshock from 200 ns , There is significant amount of power bump is expected over current 15 bhp.

If they employ same 150 cc mil, power will raise around 16 to 16.5 bhp using 4 valve setup it could well go above that if they're employing  160 cc mil. If they place this 160 ns above current 150 pulsar then there are chances about getting  6 speed transmission or else it will be continue getting 5 speed gearbox for usable torque distribution in city traffic, triple spark technology is future for bajaj and we can expect that from this pulsar 160 ns, This new pulsar will compete with Yamaha  FZ v 2.0, Suzuki Gixxer ,  and even Hero Xtreme sports , This pulsar is expected to launch around mid 2015 and as always with Bajaj's aggressive pricing we can expect this bike at price tag of 70 to 75 thousands(ex showroom)
