    +1 to that. I had taken a test drive and gone to book the pulsar 220Fi with booking amount in hand. They made me fill a form at probiking saying they'll revert in 3 months and never contacted me again. sub dealers were charging 13000 rs as 'on' money.

    Seriously, orange alloys shouldn't be the only choice. Bajaj, please do give black alloys as an option at no extra cost.

    Increasing the power & performance of a stock engine by installing aftermarket upgrades
    Please be more specific in your question, so that learned Xbhpians can help you in a better way!!

    A bit OT. Maybe mods can help.

    Enough with the theatrics and launch it already. They are almost reaching Apple like levels here, what nonsense.
    every month they post the month's calendar with 25th highlighted. So dont get your hopes up yet. Maybe it is their salary day lol

    This will definitely differentiate the bike Of course, Duke is killer in the 'LOOKS' department - any color would match that shape, unless......
    Anyone remembers LML Freedom in Bright Orange, Light Green, Sky Blue & other such forsaken colors.

    Yes and the end can doesn't seem like an aftermarket, but more in the lines of 690 duke. And if the test mules are also spotted with these as hammer said, i fear it as an after effect of stricter emission norm (I hope its not)

    How does it look in real. I think it do not go with the looks of 390 in picture, but maybe it looks good in real.
