   Honda is not fooling anybody. they have just introduced a new variant of their already super successful bike. it is to give people some change from the old stunner which I think is a good step. the new graphic work is pretty cool. an all black engine with a sporty engine cowl looks good to me. they have also added a much anticipated rpm indicator.

   In all it is a good package. But an engine upgradation would have been welcomed.

   What else we need ? If a proven engine is there nothing wrong in giving it to people again and again but with different looks – cos taste differs from person to person. Of course the rate should not extremely varying.

   59-60k for a 125 cc bike? That is pure profit-making by Honda. You need to make profit and keep margins, but this is an atrocious price for a 125 cc bike. For 65-68k, you can buy a 150 cc bike itself. You can buy a Nano for 1.2 lak. Yamaha, Honda, HeroHonda, Suzuki, Bajaj, TVS, all of them are overpriced. For that matter, all 125 cc and 150 cc bikes in India are selling at a premium price.

    Pulsar 135 LS is till way better than stunner….4 valve engine and advance chassis of Pulsar 135 LS vs the useless pgm fi of honda…….honda and hero honda are only good at graphical mods……….technically they suck big time……..

    pulsar boy on January 11, 2010 at 11:03 am

    completely agree with aka!!! this is just upgrade for the namesake.. with tid bits here and there.. no ground breaking development like PULSAR 135LS

    Avinash on January 11, 2010 at 8:16 pm

    aka , pulsar boy and antony

    4 valve in only a development for bajaj

    Yamaha,honda , suzuki already hav 4 valve engines in their international models the only reason they didnt release it here is that they are still new to india,

    Yamaha: It forgot about indian markets years ago, Came back and relesed india’s first 4 valve engine

    Honda : It jus started concentrating in the motorcycle department until then it was only goin after the scooter which its has a Very good hold on.

    Suzuki: Its still new to india.

    I believe that Honda has done a good jod with the fairings and all, especially adding the much awaited Tachometer, finally , this should pop up the sales abit.The new look just looks Great !! Wonder what the price tag would be for the new ones.

    Sachin57 on January 12, 2010 at 11:56 am

    @avinash,
    we all know that japanese already have 4 valve tech internationally.Pulsar boy was talking about indian market.
    And about suzuki n honda,when would you consider them as old Co.s? 5 years,10 years?Please specify.
    They’ve their own strategies.They dont just go n launch 125,150 bikes with all the tech they’ve got.They think about are competition and profit(and customer satisfaction for the sake of profit).They are run by ‘Businessmen’ passionate about what they produce.

15. 

    Russsel on January 12, 2010 at 1:48 pm

    What’s new?? New Sticker? Colors? Pastic add ons?
    Doesn’t work for me.

    The Pulsar 135LS kicks butt of most of the present 150 cc bikes, forget the 125 cc commuters.

16. 

    aka on January 12, 2010 at 10:03 pm

    Balvinder……i know 4 valve tech was devloped by yamaha honda etc etc but for a domestic company to produce its a great thing………..u should be proud that a local co from ur country is able to produce a superior bike…..unlike hmsi hero honda and yamaha india…… bajaj has no international support……all the internatinal companies u mentioned might be new in india but they are not new in making bikes

17. 

    pulsar boy on January 18, 2010 at 1:31 pm

    @Avinash..

    You are right to say 4-valve is a development for only Bajaj.. but you forgot to include the Great Indian average biker there.. it’s onething to have all the technology.. and entirely different to actually provide it at affordable price point.. Honda has it, yes.. but are they going to introduce some affordable product with that technology.. a big NO!!.. Yamaha should be appreciated..at least they made an effort in R-15.. though not affordable to average indian biker. This is why I feel Honda sucks.. they are not even motivated to give an answer to R-15… Hamara Bajaj did it in their inimitable style (read as absolute VFM with PULSAR 220 DTS-i)

    @ Manav

    Quality???
    Bajaj’s Quality sucks???? Says who???? Bajaj’s good ppl…. U just can’t digest it…..

    The new stunner looks good man…. I mean the Tachometer part… The shield or whatever that comes under that engine…. But why only a 125 CC engine……… That’s a disappointment!!!

    Abhishek Patel on January 20, 2010 at 1:36 pm

    with 150 cc engine u need to shell 10k more . they are making it economical by keeping it 125 cc engine

    jaggu on January 20, 2010 at 9:37 pm

    Most people are talking about somethings they dont know. I have been riding bikes for about 4 years now, and found it to be ever more exiting. Every bike has its own purpose. The stunner’s purpose is to commute the in-city biking enthusiasts, a job that it does well. How many of you ride in the city above 60 kmph(even that is breaking the law). I am a proud owner of a stunner and found it to be more reliable a city commuter than any other bike considering the looks, handling and the mileage it gives and it has been considerably priced. Of-course the PGM-Fi is overpriced, and I also think disc-brakes should become standard. The tachometer is a good addition as it will help learners keep the throttle in control. Overall, the new Stunner looks great, and I hope HONDA price it sensibly.

    Hay Jaggu good one.

    Prabh Rai on January 21, 2010 at 1:14 pm

    Yea ,CBF Stunner is a very good bike. and Fi too.
    Bajaj really needs to maintain quality standerds.

    I mean how many of you have ridden a pulsar
    without any gear box/clutch/transmission problem
    in 2 years[ i'm talking abt 08/09 model]
    And one thing that most of ous don’t know
    is that bajaj bikes do not help bikes in risky situations.
    All other companies from other countries have a basis of security first.
    I think Hero Honda and Bajaj will not be leaders after 2-3 years.
    Only single motor company from India has potential to beat Imported bikes.

    This is not a racism with Indian manufacturers
    We should actually look on quality and standard.
    Not the engine displacement, coz
    An apache RTR 180 of Rs.67,000[in my city] with a Per kit of Rs.7k-12k can produce more than 35bhp,
    So we should not consider power bcoz indian roads are not that good to ride a Suzuki 1000+ cc bike.[only highways are]

26. 

    Prabh Rai on January 21, 2010 at 1:16 pm

    I forgot to tell indian company having potential to be a leader
    Its obviously TVS Motor Company India Ltd.

    pulsar boy on January 21, 2010 at 1:26 pm

    This is just all show.. no go bike from Honda.. they know how to cash ill informed people. Just plonk in shine’s engine in a new body and sell it like all new bike.. Jaggu bhai..what you said is true.. But I wonder splendor would have served your purpose perfectly. People here are talking about bang for buck.. don’t think all the buyers are from cities.. there are people who are blessed enough to ride bikes on free roads unlike us who does that in stop and go traffic. and for them.. performance matters at the same price point.. that’s where 135 LS scores..

    Suman on January 21, 2010 at 7:45 pm

33. 

    Ajay on January 27, 2010 at 3:15 pm

    Honda is NOT fooling any one. It’s just an up-gradation of previous release model. They generally design refreshed models based up on the cons collected from previous model.

    A tacho is lacking, good engine cowl is missing and there are complaints of vibrations in previous model. They all kept those in mind and upgraded it. There are no big things about engine or gear box. I am an automobile student dude, re-designing a engine is not a silly job. Engineers prefer going with a proven formula than experimenting a new engine for an upgradation

    For guys like us, who are willing to buy a stunner, its for us. We are not ready to buy a 2008 Model in 2010!
    its for us, who are willing to buy a stunner.

    Abhishek on January 28, 2010 at 4:58 pm

    Dear Automobile engineer,

    stunner has removed kickstart and now only has self start , will it not give any starting problem and in case if the self start fails , how about starting the bike , can we put it on the 1st gear and start the same way can start by pushing normal kick start bikes.

    please let me know

35. 

    Abhishek on January 28, 2010 at 4:59 pm

    in case of a high waytrip if self start fails or there is a battery problem , how do we start.????????

36. 

    Chandra Shekar on January 31, 2010 at 12:49 am

    they did better work but i dont know why they removed kicker

37. 

    joy on January 31, 2010 at 7:04 pm

    honda is always the best…….though the price is high we can blindly buy because its HONDA… bajaj gives quantity but not quality in their bikes..but honda is known for quality…..stunner rocks…pulsar 135 sucks……

38. 

    swapnil on February 2, 2010 at 12:06 am

    Hii Friends,
    I have the honda stunner pgm-fi its a great bike …but the latest stunner is to sporty…and looks great…hey can any one tell me can i fit the engine coul to my bike…..is it possibe..

39. 

    akshay on February 5, 2010 at 9:33 pm

    i do believe that the Honda is no doubt a great manufacturer….i own Activa and Unicorn, and are 5yrs and 4yrs old respectively….. but still not a single problem arised for engine, build, and also the service……

    Stunner is the great city commuter and smartouts all the other bikes in its segment…..

    tell me how many iterations have undergone from Bajaj with making some stupid bikes like XCD and Discover.. and yes they are failed….!! but see Honda…. its the quality which is speaking…..

    Mahavir Kothari on March 5, 2010 at 4:05 pm

    Dear All,

    Much have been talked about the Honda Stunner and Pulsar 135 LS.

    I have just purchased Pulsar 135 LS. I was bit worried about gear shifting problem which was there since pulsar brand launched( Bajaj has improved a lot after the launch of First generation pulsar but still Honda is Honda). But after using the Pulsar 135 LS for daily commute I am at the conclusion that Bajaj has created a master piece of bike. the smoothest engine transmission. Super power delivery moreover no vibes you while riding. The gear shifting quality is equal to Honda. That is to be proud when a company like bajaj with rivals like HONDA, SUZUKI and YAMAHA exist in the market. Moreover tough competition from HERO HONDA and TVS.

    Let’s talk about technology. First DTS-i (Digital Twin Spark)My dear friends it is very difficult to make 100 cc engine with Dual spark. This a huge challenge and Bajaj has done it. Exhaust-Tech Bajaj has got patent for this so no need to discuss b’coz patent would not be given if same thing was developed by aneone else before. DTSi-SI (Swirl Induction) Just to change the spark plug condition a small thing but did you know why other companies not able to put in their 100cc engine. Lets talk about Four valve bajaj said it’s world’s first Dtsi four valve. So my friends there is no other engine in the world which comes with 4 valve and two spark plug for 135 cc bike.

    Belive me friends Bajaj will overtake Hero Honda within 2-3 years.

    Pulsar 135 Ls is value for money bike.

    Thanks,

    Mahavir
