I am getting 35 kmpl approx but that is riding below 5000 rpm. Should reduce after I open her up.

open her up?? it'l take lot off time for a engine to open up buddy..
may be 4000kms.. or 3000kms.. or some other figures..
it also depends upon how you drive..
Personally, i cant wait uptill that time..
will rip it soon after first service..
service engineer(balaji) said, don rip the engine uptill you complete 2000kms.. and 35-38kmpl is more realistic.. i guess, we will get 30kmpl surely(after rippin the engine)..

Yep, Popular(Opposite to Apollo Sagar hospitals) is a BAJAJ dealer. I had been there a couple of days back, i could not spot any 220 available for Test rides.

That's what I told in my post buddy!

Apart from Khivraj no one sells the P220. Popular don't even sell the P200! Popular is one useless showroom dude.. don't buy there.

hi guys

i just now booked a p220 black and returned home ... its 79,595/- full payment ....i saw 15 p220 in the show room ready for delivery four blue and six black 3 red and two silver ... blue one is also awesome .. its more attractive than black :-) ... i got a test drive in a silver p220 ... about 2 km ride .. it was super ... they asked me to fill a feedback form ... they have asked a question that if p200 comes with p220 fairing will u buy it .... i ticked no :-) i think bajaj is in some confusion regarding p200... for now bajaj have stopped 200 ... and p220 Dtsfi is still available ... confused what bajaj is upto .... the pbk guy told me the bike will be deliverd within 15 days for sure ... in chennai 70 bikes have been sold so far . good goin bajaj ... i have to wait 15 days to lay hands on my mini-superbike

Dude, AFAIK from Xbhp, Auto choke works to increase the rpm in cold state, when you crank the self starter, or switch the bike's ignition on. ok? It has nothing to do with carburettor.
I tested P220 and found no such carburettor glitch! This was on a 2 km ride, on a 00 km bike.

I request you to get it serviced before it crosses 750 kms. and follow the run in properly.

Grafix, ARAI has made it mandatory for all car manufacturers to produce ARAI FE figures to customers on demand. Not sure if such rule exists for 2Ws. FYI, P220 DTSi is the first bike to have ARAI FE figure at 56kmpl (as per my knowledge).
PS: Maruti declared it's ARAI FE figures to media for all it's models, I own ALTO, I get 14-17 kmpl in city and 19-22kmpl on highway rides, ARAI figure for ALTO is 18.1 kmpl. Very fair figure from ARAI !!

Keep a Realistic Expect of 35-38 kmpl from the P220 under normal riding conditions.. if you manage to get anything more.. consider that a bonus.

Over expectation can often result in disappiontment.. therefore keep it real
