Aftermarket automobile modification houses can create just about anything and this Royal Enfield Himalayan from a Bajaj Pulsar 150 proves just that. RE Himalayan is among the most successful and capable adventure bikes in the country. People who love to go off-roading often choose it over any other motorcycle. Its credentials lend themselves well for users to take it across harsh terrains. On the other hand, the Pulsar 150 has been a prominent affordable bike for a long time in our market. Buyers looking for an affordable daily user are generally the customers of it. What happens when these two merge? Let’s find out.

Bajaj Pulsar from Royal Enfield Himalayan
These images come from Iqbal Mutaqin on Facebook. Looking at these images, one can’t make out that this is not the original Himalayan at first glance. At the front, one gets the retro round headlamps, a tall wind visor, broad handlebars, round rear view mirrors, a high tyre cover, spoked wheels, off-roading tyres with dedicated treads for maximum traction even on uneven surfaces, sturdy fuel tank, barebones but rugged components, comfortable seat for those bumpy rides, a jerrycan holder, saddlebags for luggage at the rear and more. All these represent a hardcore version of the bike.

Specs
This is based on the old Bajaj Pulsar 150. It used to come powered by a 143.9-cc single-cylinder engine that made a humble 13.52 PS and 12.28 Nm of peak power and torque. The transmission duties were carried by a 5-speed manual gearbox. This modified Himalayan gets aftermarket LED headlamps and white paint for the fuel tank. The suspension travel is long which is common in dirt bikes. There is also an addition of the mud flaps which are a must during dirt tracks.

What We Think
We are thoroughly impressed by the details of this modification. The talent that some of these car houses possess is simply commendable. However, we would like to caution our readers about these customizations. Since these are additional alterations to the motorcycles, we must understand that they will have an impact on the overall build quality and performance of these bikes. Getting things from the factory after thorough testing and research, and simply slapping aftermarket components on any bike are two very different scenarios. Hence, you must know that there will be a permanent impact on every aspect of the motorcycle.
