New Pulsar 150DTSi

I had a chance to drive new pulsar 150 dtsi. There is a minor change on it. They have modified the gearbox from 'all down' to 'one down-four up'. The gearbox really sucks. I fear bajaj might loose out its lead position in 150cc segment due to this stupid change. Though the 'one down-four up' is a universal gearing standard, the earlier 'all-down' was so simple to use in typical bangalore traffic. The worst thing on the new gearbox is, you should be really careful while switching from first to second gear or vice-versa. If not applied correctly, you might end up in neutral position. Obviously, it will put you in trouble. I hope bajaj will look on to this seriously while they come out with next major changes on 150
