220cc 145 kmph beast at 70,000 bucks ex-showroom! Boy, I am excited! Pity, they had to remove the FI though.

CNBC-TV18 reports that Bajaj Auto is all set to launch the fastest bike made in India on June 23. This bike will be in the higher 220cc segment. The all-new 220cc Pulsar will replace the old model as it sports an all new DTS-i engine.

Here is a verbatim transcript of Swati Khandelwal’s comments on CNBC-TV18. Also watch the accompanying video.
We pick up from sources that this bike will be launched on June 23. This is on the flagship model that Bajaj already has—the Pulsar. Bajaj’s new 220 cc Pulsar will replace the old model as it sports an all new DTS-i engine.
The major attribute to this bike would be its speed. In fact, we understand from sources that it is going to be the fastest bike ever made in India. Its top speed will be over 140 km/hour and that is almost 15 km/hour higher than its predecessor. We also understand that this bike is going to be priced much lower than its predecessor. The earlier version of the vehicle came in at about Rs 85,000 and this is close to Rs 70,000 ex-showroom Delhi.
This bike is going to compete with the existing Yamaha's FZ16 and R15. We understand from sources that Bajaj is hoping to sell or at least capture one-third of the total super sports bike market, which is the Rs 65,000 plus market. To garner that, they will be looking for selling about one-third of the total market which is about 15,000 units per month.

Fastest bike to be made ever...

- Yea Right! I guess they din't hear of the Yammy RD 350 ever being made here....

15Kmph higher than its predecessor.....Bollocks!

70K INR Ex Showroom is utter BS

Compete with FZ16 and R15....

both bike are in totally different classes....

Who wrote this piece of news? MoneyControl themselves....or Bajaj?

PS: Carb's defnitely good step in the direction of getting more performance out of this block....but its not a step ahead!

I have nothing more to say.

Puneet1 · 06-16-2009, 10:41 PM

Wow , 145kmph and 70k

x 100
Forget the RTR 180 this is the real deal .

Btw what is the ex showroom price of the P200 presently ?

bprags · 06-16-2009, 10:41 PM

145 kph is very hard to believe. May be it might kiss 140 after a couple of kms of full throttle

.

DarthVeda · 06-16-2009, 10:44 PM

their 145 kph will be true speed i guess, with the speedo error it might touch 150kph!!!
