Q. Which model of bajaj pulsar 150 is best in its all model. STD, NEON, CLASSIC, DUAL DISC. please suggest me ASAP.
  • Neon and classic are the same because neon comes in 3 colors now, neon silver (CLASSIC), neon red and neon lemon. Now, STD and neon have a difference in stickering, as neon doesn't come with stickers and STD comes with stickers. Pulsar 150 Dual disc is pulsar 180(dimension wise), with 150cc engine. It has fatter rear tires as well as rear discs. Also, the front disc is larger. But it misses out on kick starter.I have mentioned all the facts. Measure your pros and cons and decide.
  • Neon is the base model of the pulsar 150 in terms of pricing. It has a simple look as that of the classic but no graphics available and as a result the price is much low. Std and dual disc and classic are more or less same. They have color options with graphic designs. Dual disc have engine cowl and engine guard.
  • Dual diac is best as per feature wise. Neon is cheapest version. Engine specification is same in all variants. You can buy any according to your budget and feature preferences. Also consider Yamaha's FZs-fi v3.

Q. Which is good Pulsar 150 Neon or Pulsar twin disk ABS?
  • If someone is looking a bike in low budget then he can go for neon but if youre budget is high then go for twin disc it will not change performance. The only change is in breaking system and looks..Nothing is going to change other than that.
  • The difference between these two models is that one has single disc single channel Abs and the other one dual disc single channel ABS. The twin disc has a body graphics, engine cowl, belly pan and thick rear tyres.
  • If you are an experienced rider and want to save little money Neon is the answer.ABS is recommended if you like riding at high speeds since it comes in handy for emergency braking.

Equipped with this vehicle's powerful engine and tough look, it is ready to give an ultimatum to every unlucky ride adjustment.
