Positioned in Bajaj's allround motorcycle lineup, the 2005 Bajaj Pulsar 180 DTSi ETEC features a 180 cc (11 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 16.3 HP (11.9 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 14.7 Nm (10.9 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 90.6 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Pulsar 180 DTSi ETEC measures 140 kg (309 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.59 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,330 mm (52.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 750 km (466 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 117 km/h (73 mph).
