Bajaj Pulsar 135LS Vs Honda CBF Stunner
Posted on April 7th 2010If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
The 135LS Pulsar is in the league of 125cc engines. The stunner’s 125cc engine performs like a 135cc engine. This is something which is out of the box and not seen around. Drain of energy is sudden which cannot be controlled unless you have some good braking power. Both the bikes come in disc brake pattern which is something new and out of the box. Never felt so powerful before at least in the commuting segment.
Both the bikes are designed according to new specifications which make them wander in economy and power segment. These two beauties have top notch dials and speeds which are acclaimed by sports segment bikes.

The Honda Stunner has a DNA of a racer which can be engaged on any terrain. The new bike on the block gets a tuned tachometer which gives exact details of the engine running speed. The Stunner rockets to 110kmph in less time on a drag. The Pulsar 135LS on the other hand has a subtle performance which stars rattling after3500rpm band. The 135LS reaches a top whack of 110kmph speed before the Stunner. Not the difference in the CC but 135LS is lighter by 7kgs. Well Bajaj has ensured to put the 135LS on a diet.
Balancing act
The Stunner beats the Honda when it comes to handling. Though the 135LS has clip on handle bars they don’t work that easy when it comes to cornering. The open chain sprocket of the Stunner makes it look loud and you can hear the chain noise which is soothing like the exhaust note of a pumping V12. The Stunner offers a comfortable riding position than the mini Pulsar. Cornering on the Pulsar might be difficult at times as the seating position is bit weird. The Pulsar is equipped with gas shock absorbers which are comforting on bumps. On the other hand the Stunner has regular shock absorbers which are used in the previous version.
Mileage
Now the interesting part which we all are waiting for is “Mileage” It is very important for us to know the economy of the bike as we all ensure it has a good average or it’s not worth the value. The Stunner returns overall economy of 60kmpl under strict conditions. The Pulsar on the other hand returns roughly 55kmpl if ridden at 40kmph speed. These bikes are stuck neither in power nor economy segment.
Time to go to ATM
If I had to invest money in a bike which can be driven to office which is 20kms away and I need a strong bike which can handle the highways, I would spend my money on the Stunner. The reason being it has bold looks and a strong chassis which handles the bike in right direction. The Pulsar 135 is one of the best bikes but not the one which can handle rough conditions. It looks puny and has a mild side attached to it. The Stunner might be small in size but has features and power far better than the Pulsar.

I have riden both and i must say the pick up and overall handling of pulsar is just a notch above the HONDA Stunner and also if you consider the price tag the stunner is much more EXPENSIVE than the PULSAR
nitish responded on 29 Jul 2010 at 3:33 am #
honda stuner has more pick up than pulasr 135
Pranshu responded on 01 Sep 2010 at 8:48 am #
Stunner is much better than pulsar 135, if you wanna bike which :
1. looks cool
2. gives you good mileage
3. handle rough conditions
Go for stunner CBF, value for money

I have a red Pulsar 135. Many times I pick up to 80km/hr. and the stability of the bike is awesome. I feel I can pick up even 130km/hr. or more with this stability.
Pulsar 135LS picks up 0-60kmph in 5.1
CBF Stunner picks up 0-60kmph in 5.2
Basically Pulsar 135 is new generation bike and should not be compared with old type bike like stunner. Pulsar 135 gives 5 times extra features than stunner. Jai ho apna desh.

the only prob with pulsar is back (rear) looks ..
other issue is the comfort level for a guy abve or around 5′9” height ..
stunner issue is 125 cc engine .. but hold on ..I guess we r getting too carried away by this “cc” term . stunner has nice front and side looks and comparatively better rear looks …
stunner is xlent city bike and great handling ..Pulsar well … its powerful but in city trafiic and in comfort …stunner is way better ..

@ abhineesh
Like to tell u that if u have knowledge of bikes that bajaj doesn’t have its own technology. It uses Japanese technology, the features u mentioned are Japanese OK. So don’t dance. U told to cry in the bathroom well like to tell u that every one cries in his own bathroom. I think u that u like to cry on the streets and do one thing that take a poster of Bajaj P 135 and cry u will get something. I don’t like to mention that. EAST WEST NORTH SOUTH HONDA is the best and STUNNER is the KING.

pulsar 135 is dream bike. you know cornering in p135 is like u r flying no fool can ride this bike bcoz in case of manouvering it is baap u cannot beat its torque and the way it flows in traffic its swiftness and stamina will never let you down.u just pull the accelerator and it takes you anywhere u want. but there is one thing p135 is a dangerous bike if u dont ride it cautiosly bcoz it is super speed just like a super bike in its range and also it hai 4 valve instead of 2 valves which help in better racing speed!!!!!!!!!!!!1

ACCORDING 2 ME PULSAR HAS A GOOD RIDING POSITION,GOOD CHASSIS,TOP SPEED TO 110KM, AVERAGE OF AROUND 50-55.ALL OVER DEKHa jai TO PULSAR IS QUITE GOOD.
BUT WHEN WE COME TO STUNNER IT BEATS 135 IN AVERAGE,LOOKS HANDLING BUT WHEN IT COMES TO SPEED 135 IS THE BEST,…………..
135 CAN DO STOPPIE,ROLLIE,A VERY GOOD BURNOUT WHICH IS QUITE IMMPOSIBLE WITH CBF STUNNER.SO DUDE GET A BIKE THAT SUITS U.
PULSAR IS AWESOMEEEE…………
AND AND THE BIKE WHICH LEAVES EVERY BIKE BEHIND IS THE APACHE RTR 180.

god! seems nobody knows what manners mean. speaking too much of slum languages. anyway im not here to advice anybody. for me pulsar 135 was way better. 13.5bhp vs stunners 11bhp. stunner was really overpriced. that too without digital meter, pilot lamp, clip on handle bar, bar end weights, led tail lamp,etc. except the fairing, there’s nothing really exceptional in technology. we really got bored with the same ordinary head lamp, tail lamp. were as bajaj really speaks a lot using there technology. an everybody knows Honda was a good company that produces well refined engines with butter smooth gears. but does Honda reliable? exactly not. the spare parts of Honda costs thrice the amount of bajaj, Honda have a poor service, the waiting period was too long. not 1ly for a new bike. but also for the spare parts. about stunts, a real racer cum stunts man like me will always say pulsar. how many of you seen people doing stunts in stunner? you would have 1ly seen those in videos. but pulsar was really a sportster. so go for pulsar if your a speedster, wants easy maintenance. if you just need an refined engine, over priced, too much cost on maintainance, no modern technology, a cycle fitted with Honda engine with a bully fairing, then go for stunner.
Ren responded on 07 Jan 2012 at 6:21 am #
I have cbf stunner and its not better than the pulsar 135 for more info in top speed watch videos on you tube and trust me in terms of milage stunner gives around 44kmpl and pulsar 135ls-51kmph so decide for yourself. before buying get a test ride….:)
rajib responded on 18 Jan 2012 at 8:48 am #
Hay guys,
Why you are bargaining with the guys who using Stuner?
Is it a bike?
Pulsar is the most popular bike now in this sub-continent.So no need to bargaining which one is the best ………….
sourabh responded on 24 Feb 2012 at 6:51 am #
the fact is ,, bajaj engines are crappy though they have power but engine and parts wear out very quickly. a pulsar used around a year will start making different crappy noise which explains the engine quality is not upto the standards. Handling is not upto the mark as pulsars are mostly seen in the garages and road accidents … this explains poor handling. hence the verdict is.. Go for Stunner . if you want to waste money on repeatitive servicing and spare parts then pulsar is your choice
calm maker responded on 26 Feb 2012 at 12:24 pm #
Hey , finally if u want power n u drive long distances bajaj pulsar 135 is d best and also v bein indians v shud encourage n promote indian products .
