| Pulsar P150 Twin Disc | Rs 1.20 Lakh |
In terms of design, the P150 follows the design direction of the new generation of Pulsars with a sportier look than the older 150 including a new underbody exhaust. Bajaj has also gone with some styling differentiation between the single-disc and twin-disc variants with the latter a getting clip-on handlebar and a split seat design and a different grab handle. The new P150 also sits on a longer wheelbase at 1352 mm as against 1345mm for the older Pulsar 150 Twin Disc.
