Is it the Pulsar 375?

Here you go Pulsar fanatics. You have a great story to hear. A new design of a Pulsar machine has been very recently rendered on internet. The bike is suspected to be the upcoming Pulsar 375. If it is true, there is a lot to cheer up for Pulsar die-hards. Still, there is no official confirmation from Bajaj Auto. All Bajaj has confirmed is the Pulsar 375 will be a fully-faired sports bike.



The rendered Pulsar 375 looks really awesome. It owns the craftsmanship of a mid-sized sportsbike. The designs seems like it is inspired from Kawasaki Ninja 650R. In some angles, we can recognize the matching of both bikes. Anyway, in one word, it looks 'amazing'. I think Bajaj has to do nothing better in design. Because, it looks like the most stunning motorcycle in the class. Yeah! You might say that it has even killed the monster Kawasaki Ninja 300. That's the way the rendered machine looks.



The projector headlight is the key attraction of the bike. It remembers the Yamaha YZF R1. Having a properly designed windshield, it has a well packed aerodynamics that allows the rider to go to higher speeds without loosing stability and control over the bike.

It has got a split seat which is a must to look like a sportsbike. Well, it adds more aggressiveness to the bike. Rear view mirrors, rotor disc brakes, fuel tank, foot-rests, tail lamp, bigger tyres, and all display something huge here.



The Pulsar 375 will be sharing the same 373.2cc, Single-cylinder, 4-stroke, spark-ignition, liquid-cooled engine that powers the KTM Duke 390. It delivers a max power of 43.5 Ps @ 9000 Rpm and a max torque of 35 Nm @ 7000 Rpm. It is mated with a 6-speed, claw shifted transmission. ABS system as optional is also expected with the Pulsar 375.

Meanwhile, the biggest rival in the class, the Ninja 300 is powered by a 296cc, Four-stroke, liquid-cooled, DOHC, parallel twin engine, which generates a peak power of 39 PS @ 11000 rpm and a peak torque of 27.0 Nm @ 10000 rpm. It is also equipped with a 6 speed gear transmission. These numbers show that the Duke 390's engine is way powerful and even more powerful in terms of power and torque. However, peak Rpms help the Ninja 300 to stay alive in the hunt. And how it will be if the Pulsar 375 comes with a refined engine with more Rpm? It will be really challenging for Kawasaki. Because, it's sure that the Pulsar 375 will be very much affordable. On the other hand the Ninja 300 is pretty expensive. This will be paying a lot for the Japanese motorcycle giant.
