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).

ooops sorry. the below fairing is a bellypan. thanks for the correction.

Wouldn't the zma fairing be refferred to as a half fairing?

veyron1 · 16th January 2006, 00:31

@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.

powerslave12r · 21st January 2006, 11:46

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

BUSA · 28th January 2006, 13:18

its a oil cooled

revtech · 5th February 2006, 05:57

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?
