Overview[edit | edit source]
Bajaj Pulsar 180 DTS-i
Before the introduction of the Pulsar,
the Indian motorcycle market trend was towards fuel efficient, small
capacity motorcycles (that formed the 80125 cc class). Bigger motorcycles
with higher capacity virtually did not exist (except for Enfield Bullet).
The launch and success of Hero Honda CBZ in 1999 showed that there was
demand for performance bikes. Bajaj took the cue from there on and launched
the Pulsar twins in India on 24 November 2001. Since the introduction and
success of Bajaj Pulsar, Indian youth began expecting high power and other
features from affordable motorcycles.
