Dear friends, here a tough battle is set to the two most powerful 150cc bikes in India. This is going to be the direct fight between Bajaj Pulsar 150 v/s Hero Hunk. So, let’s start the competition by comparing various parameters of both bikes.
Popularity
Pulsar 150 is one of the most liked bikes in India. It is almost 20 times more popular than Hunk. Every person of any age group likes Pulsar. Even girls can recognize Pulsars on road. Now you can consider this as also a negative point of Pulsar because now a days Pulsars became too common on roads. If you can see one Hunk on any Indian road, you can see twenty Pulsars on the same road.
Looks
Pulsar 150: Super sportive looks. Great work by styling department of Pulsar. Though Pulsar’s design is a decade older, it looks very sportive with so many minor treatments on its design. Its style perfectly suits for young riders. However Pulsar is very suitable for people of any age.
Hunk: Has decent looks with muscle body but not looks great when compared to Pulsar 150.
Power
Pulsar 150 delivers 14.9 bhp while Hunk delivers 14.2 bhp. So, Pulsar 150 is little bit more powerful than Hunk but there is no much difference in terms of power. Both bike has great pickup and good top speed.
Main Features
Pulsar 150 provides self start as well as kick start, Hunk provides self start only. Pulsar 150 provides only front disc brake option, Hunk provides front and rear disc brake option. Overall features are rich in Hunk than Pulsar 150.
Handling and Comfort
Even though Pulsar 150 engine is smooth, this bike becomes noisy and heated up at the top speed. Hunk does not become noisy or there is no problem of heating up even in the speed of 80 kmph. Both bikes has gas charged shocks which provides more comfort but Pulsar 150 shocks are too soft which is not good for aggressive riding. Hunk provides front and rear disc brake option and disc brakes are well equipped for more safety while Pulsar 150 provides only front disc brake option and you have to be little careful when applying it because disc brakes of Pulsar 150 is more sensitive and results in loosing balance if applied suddenly. Riding on Pulsar 150 is comfortable but pinion rider may feel little uncomfortable especially in long rides but Hunk provides maximum comfort for both rider and pinion with cushioned seats even in the long rides.
Durability and Brand Image
Hunk needs less maintenance and has more durability. Pulsar 150 has to be maintained well for using long life. Hunk has good brand image and a very good resale value.

Hunk beats Pulsar 150 in terms of mileage also. You can expect average mileage from Hunk is 55-60 kmpl while Pulsar gives average 52-55 kmpl. So, Hunk is more fuel efficient than Pulsar 150.
So, I can say that competition ends here with the victory of Hero Hunk. Even the competition wasn’t become much fight. Hunk scores better in all aspects like handling, comfort, features, low maintenance, durability, brand name, mileage etc. Hunk looses to Pulsar 150 only in looks. If looks only matters, go for Pulsar 150 otherwise go for Hunk. Go for Hunk, if you are looking for more factors which a modern street bike must have. After all Hunk also looks great with decent looks and muscle body. Please comment your opinion.
