      there seems to be a mistake...its the 220 S and not the 200 F! couldn't help pointing out! with that said,brilliantly written! very informative!
      It takes more love to share the saddle than it does to share the bed.

        very well written..... good snaps..... but what is the point behind the article .....
        of course Bajaj has always promptly reacted to customers demand and modified their product..... they always brought something new..... but the point of the article is not clear..... is it that Bajaj is in process of making Pulsar as brand and this is one of the way of doing it..... or is it that some fan wants to have something better from Bajaj(or Pulsar brand) and this is another way of pointing something .....

        after using two different Pulsars for years, I am also a great fan of it and surely want something bigger, but not 250cc..... bigger means bigger and better if its a tourer..... also wants interchangeable 4valve head & better rear brakes for my current 220..... rest I'm too happy with my Rampyari.....

          It should be 220 DTSi(also know as 220F and 220S now). The pic along with it is of a P220 S though.

          And the P220F was launched in June 2009. The 220S came way later in 2010, IIRC.

            Absolutely brilliant!!

            Wow thats one article to talk about!! Brilliantly written!! It perfectly brings out the characteristic of the bike that changed the Indian Motorcycle Market. Proud to be part of it owning a Pulsar 150 Dtsi. Long live Pulsar - The Legend!!
            More CC or Torque or Bhp doesn't decide who wins. Its the soul of the biker. Splendour and Pulsar are the same as long as the bikers share the same passion.

              Wonderful write up Sandeep Sir, I still own a 2005 Pulsar 180 UG2 with which I have had some wonderful memories...

              The R1 is special to me, but Pulsar shall always remain as my first bike

                      Well written as always...!

                      PS: I read it somewhere that the Pulsars design\development was to be done jointly with Cagiva and then for some reasons it didnt take off. Nevertheless the design does look very similar to the Cagiva Raptor

                      PPS: Waiting for the next gen Pulsars... with the learnings from the past decade or so and stake with KTM and Kawasaki, I am sure we will see a world class Bajaj soon!

                        A very good and safe biker not only because he can pop up either of the wheels,scrape his knees on a corner or go fast and make it look stylish but because he very well knows his limits and capabilities and has the patience to learn about others and ride safe ! :)

                          Amazing write up... Makes me feel so proud to be a pulsar Fanboi

                          Proud Pulsarian since 2003 ...

                          2003 - 2007 Pulsar 180 UG1
                          2007 - present 220 FI

                          What caught my attention was the date - October 2001... Which means we can expect the highly anticipated big Pulsar in October 2011... Tenth Anniversary celebrations...?
