y bajaj does this like stupid bikes?
as i am the owner of new 135.
they r changing the models every years..
Earlier today.. I saw another website which quoted same price. Can’t believe this and can’t understand Bajaj’s logic here. This one is too close to Discover 100 cc and way cheaper than Honda CB Twister!!! it’s evident that Bajaj is leaving no stone unturned to lure 100 cc commuters to join 150cc bandwagon. Don’t think they have got anything new here.. this must be the engine from earlier generation pulsars, possibly little tweaks here and there. Of course the kerb weight is surprise.
i dont understand which kind of people is bajaj trying to woo with discover 150 ?
those who want mileage will buy discover 100 , those who want performance will buy pulsar 150 , pulsar 135 ?
price seems good but the bike design,colour and graphics looks just blunt.
Hey Saad, what about honda dazzler. I guess it was to be released on may 8. Any news?
so it is the least quality bike in india, right?????????? All of us know the quality and duration use of bajaj….. So what will b its future?????? Some fools may be ready now itself to own this another blunder from BAJAJ….
one has to see if its good over pulser 135.I think bajaj is gearing up this bike againt Honda Dazzler which is due for launch anytime now.they had launched pulser 135 just before CB twister launch and now just before dazzler they have announced this.
Man!!!!!…. Is the Price tag true????? It’s unbelievable….. However how come its power is lower that 150cc Pulsar… Will get to know that after getting detailed info…
Ya, Discover 150 is to lure 100 cc customers, who are unwary that this will rot in just 2 years.
Anyway, we would like to know about what happened to CB Dazzler…
I think the bajaj guys are trying ‘trial and error’, they have no clue abt the bike or the segment which will be the future of biking in our country, so they are trying to do all sorts of things that a bike manufacturer can possibly do to attract customers.
as far as i have understood the market, I think that our Indian bike market is maturing, in the sense that older people now prefer cars instead of small 100cc commuters and the customers are increasingly becoming younger and younger. I think its the best time for the bike manufacturers to up the scale a bit and start work on multi-cylinder bikes, they will definitely demand a premium, but if bajaj can make a 150cc for 50k then why not 300cc twin cylinder for 100k????
Dear Folks
CD Dazzler will be launched this week by 15th may..cheked in nearest honda showroom.
There is only 9 cc difference between Disc 135 cc and this
they call this as bajaj disc 150 hahahahah
Again, raste ka maal saste mein.
cheap bikes…thats all bajaj knows.
hw the hell they created a marvel like p135 ? shayad galti se tukka lag gya rajiv ka.
Its clear that Bajaj Brand wont survive without these new lauches every 2-3 months.they creat hype with lower price tag by low quality,fancy adds on TV,and impresive specification sheet on paper.luckly they have DTs-si patents otherwise they would have been only selling auto rikshas by now.
Bajaj R&D Team is out of their minds…these moron’s are coming up with new bike every three months. Given their terrible reliability and durability, this is not gonna last for more than 2-3 yrs down the line. GOD help this bike’s owners.
Cheers!!
This amount of frequent changes in a model will lead to many issues later like spares, maintenance and ownership. After Discover 100cc the company should preserve it for some time, atleast 3-4 years. Otherwise, company will have to mark some models as retired and make life complex for owners.
Not a good move, as Bajaj itself has established product at 150cc and product range will get diluted. Bajaj should come up with 250cc+ for premium biking range and should target BS4 norms for future. Hope someone is listening!!!
Dear All,
Discover 150 cc design for customer who wants power but not at cost of fuel efficiency.
Bajaj is playing mind game it has priced pulsar at 61,000 rs ex-showroom Delhi and Bajaj discover comes at price rs.46,000 ex showroom Delhi. 15,000 rs. difference. This is what price mix where you take more profit on established brand which is relative price inelastic.
Discover 150cc will hot up competition among 100 cc to 150 cc buyer. It will sell more in rural and Semi urban area.
For the price it has given and under the brand name it comes it will surly do big numbers.
Thanks,

Mahavir Kothari
I dont understand bajaj strategy of indroducing bikes.they simply fooling customers for every introduction of new bikes,its totally
a gamble.
Its been quite sometime since we saw “all new” product from Bajaj. XCDs failed, only thing which survived was the latest P135. Apart from that we have Pulsar(2001), Discover, Wind aka Platina which are quite older (but not older than HH 100ccs). Brands like Sonic and Sprint (which eventually made it as Pulsar135) could have been created rather than the dull XCD effort. And one thing to end up. The Platina 125 and the Discover 150 models look like Rossi with a cricket bat, not knowing where he is. Lookwise, D135 looks better than this D150, i hope many would agree on that.
Guys, bajaj is doing one to one competion with 100cc bikes…..only on cost basis. Also, pulsar’s market …..they dont want to lose. ………hope bajaj will built longer performer bikes……. Best of luck to them..!
Mr. Mahavir kothari, would you like to explain that if you are to choose b/w a top quality honda cb twister(110cc) and a low quality bajaj discover 150……what would you do…?
any person who chooses the discover 150 desperately needs a mental checkup .
It sucks……..the engine is a 150 cc just on paper…..,the power outputs are idiotic for even a 135 cc . so more power for less price is a lame excuse for this bike. its for the typical indian customr who sees 2 thngs in a bike..mileage n cc.
pathetic.
Instead of trying to change the typical indian customer mindset…..the sicko named rajiv is cashing on it…..cme on, a person buying a byk wrth 46k wud nt evn knw wht bhp stands fr…
he wud wnt jst 3 things- smple luks, cheap maintainence, mileage….
and this bike got enough proportion of each thing to satisfy the requirements of a typical lower class buyer(the segment of ppl who wud run for a byk lyk dis).
it pains me to accept that this piece of junk will sell…n sell lyk hot cakes…
Bajaj does not makes bikes with a heart………. they don’t care that their products are of very low quality as long as their sales registers are filling up…all they need is profit, profit , profit and mre profit…..they have no ethics and no tech.
i would prefer a vow to never ride a bike over buying a bajaj’s so called lame excuses for bikes.
pulsar ls being an exception of course…….though i dont knw nythng bout its long term behaviour……….hope its different from other miserable pulsars.
Bajaj should learn the art of making diverse and good bikes from tvs……..
and people should learn to respect and love the product for what it is and not for its manufacturer name tag.
After couple of years they stop the production and customer have to keep running for maintainable and spares
HOW COME A PULSAR LIKE MARVEL CREATING COMPANY CAN MAKE SHABBY BIKE LIKE DISCOVER 150…!!!!!PITY ON RAJIV BAJAJ AND HIS SO CALLED R&D WING.SEEMS HIS BOSSIE SHRI RAHUL BAJAJ IS BUSY PREPARING THE ANSWERS FOR TATA NANO…!!!
life of bajaj bikes is short.better stay with hondas.
headlight looks like bike is crying for its short life before its birth!!
Dont know what bajaj will launch next ????
a fuel injected, twin cylinder, 300cc, liquid cooled, 30 bhp platina-x. hahahahahaha
for rs. 1 lac..in the hope of gving cmpetition to r15. hahahaha. i feel pity for bajaj and its poor customers……..
@ Adithya
Cool down dude it seem you had a lot of bad experiance with bajaj
What the media hails is just the trailer
And we know how terrable the real movie is let’s wait n see
Cool down
@Aditya.. relax.. get a bp check for yourself. You seem to be on steroids
) whatelse you want for 47k?? even Unicorn makes slightly more power at 13.3 bhp and it’s retailing 59k. Best of luck with your paralled twin 30bhp Platina wish..
@Aditya,
Seriously, you’re right. Bajaj simply sucks! No comparison with Yamaha or any other company for that matter. Bajaj is the cheapest company I’ve ever seen. They use cheap parts and thus sell the bike for very cheap..! Guyz, don’t get deceived by the price….it may be tempting cuz its cheap..But its not worth buying a bike for so cheap, compromising on the quality. ALL HAIL, KING OF THE LOSERZ[Bajaj]. :-/
Don’t understand Bajaj’s strategy. They are killing themselves by these launches. Rs. 46000 for a 150cc bike, they are really kidding. This will definitely erode the market share of Pulsar. I hope this launch backfires. They better concentrate on quality rather than quantity.
Guys Some Companies Like Mercedes, Launch Products mainly for Reputation and then comes Sales. But Certain Companies like Tata Launch Products Purely for sale. Here Bajaj falls into the second Category. They Certainly have to Upgrade their Products every month in order to stand in the Market. From a business point of view Bajaj is the King, They Just take Back their Bikes (Which Fail in Sales like Discover 135), Do some Touchup and Bring in as a New Variant. Later Even if Ppl understand this aggressive Marketing and no matter if Bajaj is Out of the Market, they have enough Billions to Start a new Business.
@Captain Obvious, Every company launches products for sales. But through their clever marketing, we think that sales is not the primary goal of the company, but without it the company cannot survive. The difference is that both of them target different market. One market is the “mass” where sales will be high and cost will be low and profit margins will be low. The another market is the “premium” market where the sales will be low but profit margins will be high. In both cases higher sales = higher profit = better R&D = better products for the future.
For Bajaj I have only one thing to say – “immature”.
Keeping quality in mind is the best way to increase quantity
That the reason still herohonda stays on top
A vilager or a lay man or a guy who doesn’t know technology always reiles on dependability ( trustworthy) and word of mouth (feedback from other s – who already own one)
Let’s see the quality on this bike on reviews
Bajaj is giving the customers more options. Fantastic for customers with varied requirements. Besides, when it come to reliability…I own a pulsar 150 since 2005 and I have no issues with the bike. just one regular service per year. So, I really don’t understand all the bajaj bashing.
Many of us were able to buy bikes due to Bajaj, else the hondas and the Yamaha’s would have ripped off the indian customers.
If you don’t like Bajaj bikes, then just go for others. These bikes are for the masses and not for specific individuals. Bajaj is setting the sales chart on fire.
What would you do if you were in Rajiv Bajaj’s place….design bikes for a few people who want the moon and charge peanuts??
Look at the bigger picture…look the the progress an Indian company is making…learn to support and appreciate it.
Lets appreciate the positive things about Bajaj….afterall its ‘Hamara Bajaj’.
Many people here are over enthusiastic and trying to paint a very gloomy picture of Bajaj’s quality.. Any new bikes will have some niggles, which anyway will be sortedout before free services are finished.
@Madhu..”Keeping quality in mind is the best way to increase quantity” well said.. then I think you will agree that continuous increase in sales and no.1 position in 150 cc category goes to P150 because it keeps quality in mind, not withstanding some people’s comments who are always ready to bash Bajaj, no matter what they do. I have seen many comments on P135.. saying Bajaj is trying to destroy Pulsar etc etc.. but it has been received well.
bajaj is like a over excited child. first it wnts smething, thn another minute it wants something else. it is like a uncntrollble mindless bull which is running around hapazhardly.
if ppl want a piece of junk like this jst coz its cheap thn lt thm suffer. and dnt be fooled by bajaj sales charts……maybe bajaj will be india’s next satyam….
Dear Aditya,
Every company has to pay excise duty on the bike produced. How You can say they are fooling by no? And if you are sure about your words sell bajaj auto’s future in stock market you will earn millions if bajaj will become next Satyam or you will lose million if stock price climbs to new highs.
Don’t get it personal. Just think that we have our own Indian companies like TVS and Bajaj who can compete to Auto giants like Honda, Yamaha & Suzuki.
Did you know TVS plant won deming award best for world class quality manufacturing.
If you want to clear your doubts about bajaj is using lower quality parts arrange a visit in Honda & Bajaj plants get the list of component supplier. Get the specification of Parts warranty etc. compare it you will surprise to see there is no such difference.
Honda’s leadership is due to core competencies in producing world class gasoline engine which has higher power to weight ratio. Now bajaj is producing engine which is most green and has highest power to weight ratio in Industry.
Did you know discover 100cc has been acclaimed most green 100cc bike in the world.
4valve dtsi engine is the first in the world. No doubt there are so many 4 valve engine came before but did any bike has twin spark technology.
Thanks,

Mahavir Kothari
@ Pulsarboy
am not against the company
to be frank i used and liked their earlier product
i learned driving using the bajaj chetak and M80 those are good quality products
Pulsar is a good product from bajaj but its not the best among all other 150cc [ its the top selling not top performer
]
About this disco 150 cc
assume that as non techi [just knows how to drive] customer you bought P150 or Disco 135 two months later you shocked to know they released another 150 bike with very much lower price tag how do you feel at that time as a customer who spent a hefty amount.
even as a well techi guy will fell it as a low quality product because they have a good quality pulsar 150 where this bike price is far ahead of the disco 150 price tag do u trust both as same quality and reliable [forget the configuration coz that didn't make this much difference]
If this is a quality and reliable one then why cant they offer Pulsar at this price tag
@Aditya.. if anybody goes through your comments.. it’s clear that you are over excited kid here. Don’t be so concerned about Bajaj’s quality.. Bajaj will take care of it. Are you working for Honda or TVS.. seriously you are levelling all king kinds of charges against Bajaj here, that too without any facts.
@Madhu.. if the socalled buyer is so afraid of new product launches.. then he wouldn’t be able to buy a bike at all. What about HH then.. they are selling same engine in CD-Dawn and Passion plus at very different price points. It’s not about quality.. it’s about target buyer group. Discover 150 is aimed at different group of buyers and P150 at entirely different. And to say P150 is not the top performer.. I donno what to say to that one.. LOL.. just compare it with other bikes dude.
@madhu
Dear Madhu,
This is a strategy to lure rural customer and price plays a big role there. For premium segment which is mostly sold in urban and metro price is not that much big factor as compare to rural segment.
Discover is commuter (Ram) brand and pulsar is sport (Krishna) brand. Discover is more about low maintenance, High fuel efficiency, segment beating price etc. whereas pulsar is all about sportiness and performance. The one who buys pulsar is less concerned about fuel efficiency and more about performance of bike.
There is no comparison between pulsar and discover. Discover can’t match pulsar’s performance and styling. Pulsar can’t give fuel efficiency of Discover.
Bajaj enjoy higher margins on pulsar compare to discover.
Both are different segment and different product.
I hope this will clear your doubt about 150cc pricing
Thanks,

Guys, in your opinion which is the better bike TVS Jive or Discover 150 ?
help me out ..
Venkat.. it all depends on your requirement. If you are daily commute is in very busy traffic area… then you will feel much better with TVS Jive or with other automatic scooters. Otherwise you can go for Disco150, but don’t expect a mileage of 65.. as that depends on your riding style.
@ PulsarBoy
Everyone are not lobbyist
few ppl say spending money on getting new bike; but many say investing on bike coz for many people even if its 40000 its a hard earned money
moreover the price difference between cd-dawn and passion plus is not more than or equivalent to 20k rite
don’t bump on Aditya why am telling this because some ppls comments sounds like hurting his personal life…
everyone have rights to express their feeling he is just doing that, opinion always differs if you dont like his opinion just express your option instead dont tell anything about his sense or personal stuffs…
@Madhu.. I think you are in confusion.. it’s not about how much is the price difference. Your question was on quality level @47k for 150cc.. my answer was that cd-dawn with approximately 35k and passion plus with a price tag of 52k use the same engine. So would you say CD-dawn is of cheap quality?? Bajaj is also trying the same thing.. so why you & Aditya are jumping onto judgement without even test driving it?? You guys don’t have anything to back your claims.. and what’s that.. bumping on Aditya.. are you kidding. He is going all over the comments like mad.. I only asked him to get a grip on himself. If he had bad experience with Bajaj, he can write an article on it.. and publish the same in Bikeadvice. I don’t have any problems with that. But jumping on to conclusions on a new product without even test driving it doesn’t go down well (even if he had a bad experience with Bajaj product, that doesn’t justify it).
@ Venkat
in my view something makes my mind as well as heart to not consider the Jive
may be ill call it as a Scooter in Bike Avatar
thats my personnel view am ready to regret if it hurts you in any mean
@ PulsarBoy
yes my question is at quality level? but i didn’t supported herohonda again both dawn and passion pro are good but we still have to wait to see the quality of disco 150
If you say HH guy is a culprit then BAJJA is also rite
i am going to use capital letters so that it will clearly visible for you
I SAID HERE WE ARE EXPRESSION OUR OPINION NOT CONCLUDING SOMETHING;
AND FINALLY YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO DECIDE ON ADITYA’S MENTAL STATE [YOU SAID HE IS MAD RITE] Aditya didn’t said anything after may 14th and still you are words sounds hurting him personally in this case what should we call you as
REMEMBER IN A PUBLIC FORUM OR BLOG YOU HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO TREAT OTHERS
If we are talking about a product lets talk about the product only you defend your stand and ill defend my stand thats called healthy argument
if we can’t to defend our stand then we should stay calm but some people go wild and defend their stand by using offensive language / words and thats what happening in your case
@Madhu, seriously you need to check dictionary.. when you say mad.. it doesn’t always mean mentally unstable. Did it occur to you that mad also means angry? Check with someone.. if you still have doubt. You don’t have to use caps and teach me.. first you understand that a word in english can have different meanings depending on the context.
Coming to your point on HH & Bajaj.. I didn’t say HH is culprit.. or Bajaj is culprit, you are good at looking at the other side
. I wanted to drive home my point that cheap price tag doesn’t always mean cheap quality. Pricing is always decided depending upon the target buyer group.
@ pulsarBOY
Even I said we have to wait and see the quality of disco 150 which means its just realeased and we have to wait and see the user openions and reviews to discuss on quality part now we are not in a position to say its good or its bad okey hmm
hope you got my point
In all languages words convey different meaning at different context
My point is, it should not be mentioned in a way that the reader should feel hurted
This is what I got for the word mad in dictionary and am not wrong read second point don’t go and fight with oxford press to correct it
Read the second bullet point
MAD (md)abbr.

##################
A man can understand another man; but you are still a little admenent boy, so their is no point in arguing with you anymore any more coz its a waste of time as you never read properly and ever tried to take it in the correct sense(way)
##################
@Madhu,
so why are you going to the 2nd point.. look at the 1st point.. it clearly says that mad means angry.. You see what only you want to see.. I can’t help it.
Arguing with you.. LOL.. it seems you are running out of facts to back your point. When I directly answer your points you try to duck saying that arguing is a waste of time. Don’t be so silly.. if you have facts to back your points you are free to post them. I’m not bothered with how others take my comments.. it’s their problem. I can only make sure that whatever i’m writing is going well with the context. People like you can put a lens on everything.
Beat it guys, take it easy!
Hi Deepak
Thanks for your intervention,
We are not fighting on the quality of the disco 150
Its about treating others while discussing / arguing about a product (example disco 150 is the product)
My point is, while discussing we should not use words that hurts another reader
Example:
1 are you gone nuts to say pulsar as a bad bike
2 Mr xyz are you gone mad…
3 Hey are you living on steriods
In other way if we discuss about a product let’s argue only about the product don’t type some thing that hurts the previously message posted guy
This is what I was trying to educate mr pulsarguy on
And this time he directly agreed that he won’t bother about how his comments hurts others
Pasted below is the comments from pulsar boy
###################
I’m not bothered with how others take my comments.. it’s their problem.
###################
Deepak I believe posting some thing on a blog or forum is equivalent to addressing public meeting because many ppl are reading it so in front of everyone our comments should never critisize a particular person.
Don’t try to be the cute one Madhu, we are too old to do pre school stuff like ” teacher…teacher this boy scold that boy…”.
Hi
Nice one hahaha
Yes,
we are to old to do pre schoo stuffs that’s why we shoud behave in a matured way
We should not scold. A person for expressing his thoughts
that’s what I pointed out that’s it.
Any owner of Disco 150 ? Could you please throw some light on its pros and cons.
i want the discover 135 dtsi (not discover 135 dtsi sports)
i am very confused witch taken betwin discover 150 &honda shine. So please tell me about featurs of this byks.i saw coments of shine.this byk Vesy bad qualitys (shaking,low milage, minar repairs). IWANT MORE MILAGE GOOD LOOKING LOW PRICE.so what i select. Please send to my email
Nice bike for its price. I cant believe some of the Honda fans here complaining about the quality of bajaj.
Bajaj doesnt have any quality issues..and we should be proud of an indian company competing with something like honda.But the problem that may arise after buying a bajaj bike is that they might stop producing the spare parts when they stop the production of a particular model.
Guys I am getting delivery of my Discover 150 on 23rd Oct.
My age is 50 & I have been riding bikes for the past 32 yrs & have ridden many kinds of bikes.I will positively post my frank & unbiased comments after using the Discover 150.
@Nilkanth
any comment on this…. after using D150????
