The Bajaj Pulsar was a range of motorcycles made by Bajaj Auto in India. The bike was developed by the product engineering division of Bajaj in association with Tokyo R&D and later with motorcycle designer Glynn Kerr.
The bike debuted in 2001 and continued production until the present (2024). It was part of the standard and Mini Sport series and was available in several displacements, such as 125, 135, 150, 160, 180, 200, 220, and 250cc.
In 2005, the Indian motorcycle maker released the Bajaj Pulsar 150, a small displacement motorcycle that rolled on 17-inch alloy wheels and had a 12 mm lower ground clearance. The bike's fuel tank was reduced to 15 liters to make it look more proportionate to its new low-slung stance.
The bike's visual department was characterized by standard features, such as a front cowl with a single headlight unit, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a side-mounted shock absorber, a single exhaust system with a silencer mounted on the right-hand side, and a six-spoke alloy wheels.
The bike's suspension system comprised a telescopic fork on the front with anti-stiction bushes, offering 135 mm of travel, and a gas-assisted five-way adjustable Nitrox shock absorber on the rear, providing 100 mm of travel.
As for power, the 2005 Bajaj Pulsar 150 had its soul brought to life by a 149cc four-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine that delivered an output power of 14 hp at 8,000 rpm and 14 Nm (10 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
