    Congrats Krish! Serves testimony to BAL bashers.

    You love it, it loves you back, else even "the trusted Honda" fails you in 12k. [my cousin busted his Dream Yuga pistons last month at 12k]
    BTW, 60k in 3 years? Where do you ride to, (daily) man? Something like breakfast at home, lunch in Kanyakumari and back home for dinner?
    Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.
    Because everyone who passes, isn't a martyr!

      How long have you been using the 220F mate ?

      On the open chain 22-25k is decent and its what usually one gets i think due to more exposure to dust and external world. The 180UG3 came with covered chain case which increased its life..
      I'm using 220F for a year almost and i feel its worth each and every moment over my p180ug3.. The bike has covered more than 15k kms and chain would last another 10k at most i feel and i have not replaced anything as of now apart from regular bits.. Its extremely reliable and comfortable..
      Fun Starts at Redline!!!

        Great Review man!
        Covered almost everything
        Was waiting for a 50k plus detailed review on the Pulsar 220 like ur's.
        Reading it made me understand all pros & cons clearly.
        As said, i too feel uneasy with the RVM'S

          The usual commute during weekdays and a few trips with friends during wekends. A day the bike runs almost 80-90kms and 150kms during weekends.

                        I hope to see myself writing an excellent review of my ride in a few years
                        Nice to know how good my 2nd most favourite bike is. 2nd favourite, even though we have the cbrs and ktms around.
                        You can see which is my favourite
                        Sarcasm is my automatic response to stupidity.

                          Hehe..yes. I'd be great to have long term review on the 200ns.

                                Dudes, Did any one face Oneway clutch problem in their Pulsar 220?
                                Have seen it in many Bajaj bikes. A common issue.
                                Especially the Old Pulsar 200, 220-fi, 220 Dtsi, Avenger 200 & Avenger 220.
                                A very loud breaking sound comes from the left side of engine when we start the bike.
                                Royal Enfield Bullet Standard 350cc 1989, Bajaj Avenger 200-2009, Pulsar 200 NS 2015.
