A wise mind once rightfully said — change is the only constant. This notion is particularly true for motorcycles as no matter how successful a product is, it has to be updated after a certain point. Take the Pulsar family, for instance. Bajaj has milked the Pulsar brand and its popularity for years in India. However, the entry of more technologically advanced offerings in recent years meant this platform had to be modernised. Hence, the bike maker incepted a new Pulsar platform which spawned the 250cc offerings in October 2021, followed by the new Pulsar P150 in November 2022.

Our regular readers would’ve read our first ride review of the Pulsar P150 which was based on our short stint with the motorcycle. This time though, we had it for a longer duration, and we sampled it thoroughly to find out how friendly a commuting companion it is in terms of ease of riding and frugality. And if push comes to shove, can you go as far as taking it on a multiple-day long haul? Above all, does it stand out as much as the first Pulsar did when it entered the Indian motorcycling scene? Read on to find out.
