Indians needed a powerful bike with decent economy and performance figures

@ Kapil
Boss, pls chill. firstly HH are the guys who are doing all the advertising and btw it is cutting into their profits as well - wheras Bajaj generally lets their tech do the talking. anyways they dont need to coz their bikes, as u rightly mentioned are value for money.
and thats where u dont understand the importance of Bajaj. It is not a cult figure, whether or not u HH fans decide to accept it. CBZ was the pioneer.. agreed. But it had flaws. and HH did not have any R&D to rectify it.
. Mind you, HH would still have continued with CBZ and not even introduced karizma if bajaj did not kick their ass with the Pulsars. It has changed the face of biking in India, and has ven led to HH changing its stance and bringing out tech upgrades. TVS has taken a leaf out of bajaj’s booka nd bought out the very good apache rtr.
appreciate the pulsar for what it is. powerful, reliable and path breaking. these are facts.
as far as comparisons go, as Kunal fails to understand - mere top speed is hardly important. the manner of delivery is. cornering and handling is. thats why valentino rossi can still theoretically beat stoner inspite of the latter having a more powerful ducati. coming back to bajaj, thats where fuel injection comes to the picture. also the oil cooler which has long-term benifical effects on the bike. these are advances, man. HH does not have them, they wont also unless honda decides some fine day.. okay.. let the Munjals have this machinery for their woes.
