Bajaj today launched the much expected next generation pulsar. Pulsar which has ruled Indian premium motorcycle segment for 10 years now gets a complete makeover. Here are the exclusive pictures 2012 Bajaj pulsar. From the pictures it looks the 2012 pulsar takes cues from its successful younger sibling Pulsar 135cc. The split grab rail and twin angular led strips at the rear are notable lifts from 135cc. But unlike most thought, next gen pulsar is not a ditto of KTM duke 200cc. 2012 pulsar is different though it shares most technology with KTM duke 200. That’s welcome isn’t it?

Hero Motocorp has renamed its famous bike models CBZ Xtreme, CD Dawn-Deluxe and Karizma ZMR PGM-Fi. This is because that all the three CB,CD and PGM-Fi are the brand names of Honda and hence Hero drops the names of Honda from its bikes. Also the agreement between the two manufacturers is to come to an end by 2014.

Hence, hereafter Hero CBZ Xtreme will be just Hero Xtreme, Hero CD Dawn-Deluxe will be Hero HF Dawn-Deluxe and Karizma ZMR PGM-Fi will be Karizma ZMR Fi. The slight difference in the names of the bikes is for the convenience of the customers to easily identify the bikes. Kindly note that,

Hero Xtreme and not CBZ Xtreme

Hero HF Dawn-Deluxe and not CD Dawn-Deluxe

Hero Karizma ZMR Fi and not Karizma ZMR PGM-Fi
