The Pulsar 220 which is currently the fastest bike in India, faces a stiff challenge from new models on speed & style. Just after 2 months release which created a quite a bit stirr among the bike enthusiasts across the country by giving them the fastest Indian, Bajaj’s Pulsar 220 DTSi can achieve a speed of 144 km an hour, almost 20 km more than its predecessor, and can accelerate from 0 to 60 km in four seconds.

But then Hero Honda and yamaha are not to be left behind Karizma from the former and Yamaha's new Fazer can achieve 150 km an hour now, and its R15 which has the DNA of a racing bike, can attain a top speed of 140 km/hour without the performance-boosting kit which it has newly released for this bike, and the new Fazer would easily cross new pulsar model

Do you think Yamaha & Hero Honda will give stiff competition to Bajaj?

Yes of course.. Yamaha and Honda are great competitors for Bajaj..

The best part is Yamaha competes with itself, dunno abt Honda or Hero Honda!

Yamaha had a bad time earlier which provide enough space to other brands to make a mark in this line.. but it's high time for Yamaha to contribute and release something which can preserve the honor, prestige and brand value of Yamaha.

So new releases are very much a stiff competition to all...

I'm a Yamaha fan too..!!

YAMAHA has a lot of catching up to do regarding its dealer & service network. Though it may have racing gene in it , but the indian customers still dont have enough confidence in the bikes. HERO HONDA is popular under 100 cc bikes & has a got a brand image of common man's bike with good mileage & exceptional engine. It has only KARISMA as a power bike & cutomers do not still relate HERO HONDA well with racing bikes. BAJAJ had started a revolution in motorcycle segment by introducing bikes in 100+ cc segment & positioning it well. also majority of the PULAR promotions potray the features of a superbike

bajaj maybe the brand for years in scooter making in India and true enough it has set a mark in motorcycle industry too but one should not forget that Yamaha and Honda have been the pioneers in motorcycle industry for quiet long it was their absence which gave bajaj time to stabilize but as they are back with some amazing concepts with user friendly price they already have raked bajaj's market share ................plus bajaj has been cashing too long on the pulsar model while all the models from Yamaha are distinctive and have a charisma of their own which brings on freshness to the stale Indian market......

The biking industry is in for a toss. Yamaha, the true blue biker's choice is sending everybody in for a spin. The new bred Yams are not just good looking, but also have the technology & hardware to go for.

Bajaj picked up from where Yamaha left in terms of performance bikes in India. But with the return of Turning forks with line up like R1, MT1, R15, FZ16, Fazer & FZS the competition is tougher than ever for Bajaj Pulsars.

Also with the add on kits now available for the R15 & FZ16, the performance bar will be raised.

Bajaj needs to get the priorities right. Do they want to fight Yams for Performance crown or HeroHonda for Economy crown?

I can see Bajaj going down in the coming years with Yamaha especially entering this market very aggresively with performance based bikes where it is giving real tough competion out there but then people remember one thing that Yamaha has a history of giving a good race bikes all these years may be not in india but the concept is coming and who better than yamaha can deliver such kind of bikes, Yamaha stands for performance to the max and they surely are on a roll and will get to the top spot with new models to come from them

Yes I think the race to being the fastest Indian is getting hotter as the day goes by, most of the bike companies are vying this spot like, Yamaha which has significantly sprung back like a phoenix for that matter and are giving stiff competition for everyone in the bike segment and even Karizma from Hero honda is a great bike and gives great performance..the forte which Bajaj Pulsar was holding for a long time would surely pass on to others who are coming up with good versions in this category...according to me Yamaha is the one who will dethrone Bajaj from their top position in this segment.

150cc bike for over one lakh bucks?and huge sales among that?yamaha has to seriously consider indian market as a highest priority n should release much better looking bike than r15/fazer. it seems yamaha is treating indian market as dump and hence these kind of bikes

If you see the history of Yamaha. Yamaha's all bikes after RX 100 were not very succesful in Indian market. Once technology shifted from 2 stroke to 4 stroke Yamaha lose his sheen in the Indian Market. They have launched so many bikes after RX 100 but all of them were not very successful.

Same story is with Hero Honda . Hero Honda is very successful with fuel economic bike but not with Power bikes.

I think both of them will not give stiff competion to Bajaj. Bajaj has already made their reputation in Power bike with huge success of Pulsar.

BAJAJ IS BAJAJ

IT HAS THE LARGEST NETWORK ACROSS THE COUNTRY

IT STANDS THE EMOTIONS OF WE THE INDIANS

HERO HONDA AND YAMAHA MAY BE TOO GOOD MAUFACTURERS BUT STILL BAJAJ IS THRE LEADER OF THE INDIAN TWO WHEELER MANUFACTURERS....

MORE AND MORE MODEL LAUNCHES GIVES A PROSPECTIVE CUSTOMER MORE CHOICE OPTIONS AND OBVIOUSLY OPPORTUNITY TO COMPETE THE OTHER PLAYERS...

No i don't see this happening as Bajaj pulsar has time and again proved themselves in this performance based biking for a long time in India, and also with that performance they also come up with a good mileage tag and this is where there are many takers for Bajaj pulsar, whereas Karizma and the Yamaha series doesn't give one a great mileage for that matter....so it would be very difficult to give competition for Bajaj Pulsar in this regard.
