The Bajaj Pulsar 180 has been a long-seller for the Pune-based automaker's Pulsar series since it began in November 2001. The Pulsar 180 and its smaller twin were a big surprise for the Indian market, which had only had commuter motorcycles and the Hero Honda CBZ in the 150cc and above segment up until that point. Its sleek design and many modern features added to the demand for high-end commuter bikes and put the bike on a path to go down in history. Over the years, Bajaj has made small changes to the look of the Pulsar 180. These include a semi-digital instrument console, an aircraft-style fuel tank lid, an LED tail lamp, a step-seat design, and new colour schemes with decals. Now, since sales of the 180 have been going down, Bajaj has given the Pulsar 180 the fairing from the 220F and called it the Pulsar 180F. With the new name comes the 220F fairing, projector headlights, and two-piece handlebars. It also has a matte metallic colour with the option of orange, red, or grey highlights that stand out. The Pulsar 180F has the same single-cylinder, 178cc engine, but it now has fuel injection and meets BS6 standards. It has 17bhp of power and 14Nm of torque, and its gearbox has five speeds. Twin spark ignition, telescopic forks, gas-charged rear suspension, and disc brakes at both ends are all standard features. Bajaj put a single-channel ABS on the Pulsar 180F.
