isnt it supposed to be the fairing before the engine ?

Not before but below the engine. Like the Yamaha RX-Z.

@cbr1000f: er...i meant in the "biblical" sense; the front portion being a bikini look-alike...

@V12: no mate, a bikini fairing means a front-fairing with a screen (like the 180, cbz, zma, adreno, etc.). the screen on the fibre/plastic headlamp cover (fairing) resembles a "bikini"...hence the term... what you're talking about, is the underbody panel (as in the rxz).

does any one have some decent snaps of the bike with some of the preformance figuers in comparison to the 180 dtsi

@powerslave12r: yup; also called a quarter fairing/panel...i was just explaining the "bikini" concept, with respect to front headlamp fairings and wind-screens...

as for the "xxxxxx fairing", the second lamp below the clear lens doesn't look like a xenon or a projection lamp; seems more like a mock-lookalike, or more like a "soft-beam" lamp to me...more of a styling element than functional...but those "intake dams" with the wired mesh looks downright ugly to me...

they seriously need to rethink on the design. Cmon I wouldnt buy a 250cc bike that looks similar to its 150cc and 180cc couterpart.

But people would sure flock to the showrooms to buy the 180 and 150that looks like the 250.. no ?

they already are, arent they? But bajaj sure would loose out on the top end as I guess karizma still looks more charming. I have not seen the bike in flesh yet so a final and concrete comment would be tough.

so wait i heard the gulsar 250cc isnt going to be launched for a while if then when is the pulsar 180 face lifted one going to be launched...also the price???anyone??
cheers vishnu

any news about when its going to be launched ?? is it worth waiting for it or should i just pick up a 180 dtsi this march/april as i had planned to earlier.

and why does it redline at 9000 rpm.the present gen pulsars red line at 12 !!

Hey I have a doubt. Will this bike replace the present Pulsars outright or will it continue as another seperate variant alongside?
