Hi people ,
I was tempted to start a thread "p180 vs p200" .
Now -

1)Is Bajaj still sells pulsar 180 dts-i models?
I asked because bajaj dealer said it is not available some 2 months back.
2) what is the advantages and disadvantages of Pulsar 180 vs Pulsar 200 ?

I heard both give almost the same mileage.still many prefers p180 ?what is the reason? spare availability?or p200 -difficult to maintain?

first word from many mechanics is that- current lott of p200's are unreliable - get a p180 instead

I want some info regarding this.

also ,please mention the big differences in latest version of P180 and p200.
Thanks.

I ride the Super P180 cl 2002 June model, done about 32,000 kms. I'm using K & N air filter, fitted with P 200 Bore & Piston, 120/80 R16 MRF rubber. The paint is the original Cherry Red shade. Last but not the least it has 100/90 lighting. Planning to get it back to 18" wheels, there is a slight problem in the engine, there is a little vibration, when I rev it a little harder. I think it is due to the balancer shaft problem, it will be sorted out shortly & then I expect it to FLY.

CHEERS,
G D

Overtime the newer pulsars have only become more plastic-ky. I can't comment on the reliability of the new P180 vs P200. However, with a P180 you'll have an advantage with spares. P180 shares some of its spares with its predecessors, and some with P150 as well. The P200 shares some parts with P220. Considering Bajaj's inventory mess and bad version control, you are more likely to find P180s spares easily and in more areas than of P200.

So, take your pic based on what you plan to use the bike for.

pulsar 200 is marginally more powerful and has less mileage
180 gives around 40kmpl and 200 gives around 30

spares obviously are cheaper for 180

200 is a little hard to flick in city traffic though it has good low end power

as for me i went for the 180 as 200's were being called back for front fork problem and 220 wasnt launched so i stayed on the safer side

Dude....i have a lot of my friends who maintain their 200s properly and they get a very healthy mileage of around 40...!! So, i cant be said that the 200 gives 30...!!

Even my ZMA is giving me a mileage of around 38 - 40....!!

The 200 only lacks a bit in the Top end but it has a superb low end and mid range(which is pretty much sufficient for normal city riding)..!!

@madrussian: My P-200 has given me 50+kmpl. not once, not twice but three times over!

Thats basically due to the fact that urs is pretty new.....!!

Where as, my friend's is a year old now....!!

**themadrussian** · 10-14-2008, 06:04 PM

that way my 180 has given me 60kmpl

but only once .. when i rode it like a grandma

the figures i gave were my own when i rode my friend's 200 for a month

I didn't only mention that u need to ride slowly to extract out good mileage...but i had also mentioned abt the care of the bike...!! Regular servicing is a bliss to the bike....

Also, little bursts here and there dont affect the mileage much(coz i have seen my friend ripping bike many times, but still he used to get good/healthy mileage bcoz of the kind of maintainence he follows....)...!!

Agree with the top end part, but I thought the P200 lacked low end grunt because of a peaky engine, which is why people loved the classic-180 like acceleration at the higher rpms. I am also saying this because that's what I felt during the 600km trip I did in a friend's P200 recently. I might be wrong.

Regarding mileage, the bike consistently returned 38-40 kmpl.
