Apart from the new Yellow shade, the tone of the red color has also been changed and is different from the previous red color. Similarly there is a slight difference between the black and blue colors from their previous variants. The red colored bike now also has the side flaps of the same color. The previous version had the black side flaps. The Yellow color has white colored side flaps and the paint quality is very good on it.

There is a new design on the side flaps which extends to the tank of the bike. There is a new R15 sticker above the left headlamp. Yamaha has also provided the rim stripe tape in the Yellow, red and black bikes. The ex-showroom price New R15 is around Rs 2,000 higher than the previous version which comes to around 99500.00.

The new pulsar gets tank scoops borrowed from the pulsar 200cc and all black theme. Also the headlight now gets power directly from the battery.

He added that the sales target for the bike is purely dependent upon supply, which at present is inadequate. "We had set a target of 25,000 units of FZ16 in three months (October, November and December)," he said.

Sanjay Tripathi, division head, product planning and marketing, Yamaha India says, "We have 22,000 paid-up orders for the FZ16. The company will ramp up production in a phased manner as it does not want to compromise on quality. FZ16 was launched in October at a price of Rs 65,000 ex-showroom (All India)". Currently, the bike has a waiting period running from 28 days and going up to 50-80 days. According to sources, few dealers of the company are resorting to asking for Rs 10,000 money extra on the bike for the quicker delivery.

Bajaj is working on a new variant of its XCD Sprint - XCD Sprint 150 , which would be fitted with the 150cc engine from the Pulsar 150 DTS-i. With its new 150, Bajaj hopes to take on bikes like the Suzuki GS150R , Hero Honda Hunk, TVS Apache RTR and Yamaha FZ16 . The new XCD Sprint is expected to be launched by the end of this year.

In the meanwhile, in response to the ongoing slump in demand in the Indian two-wheeler market, Bajaj has scaled back production at its Aurangabad plant in Maharashtra. This initiative is aimed at reducing inventory at the plant, which is currently said to be at around 18,000 units. Bajaj has also, in the recent past, cut down on production at its plants in Chakan and Pantnagar.

New Pulsar 220cc DTS-FI will also get carbon fibre exhaust which will surely improve the masculinity of the pulsar but also unique exhaust beat.
