    Looks like they are making space for next gen pulsars

    Although I'd still prefer Probiking considering the VIP service! (At least in my city) also I dont want to see my beauty parked in queue with platinas

    Anyway good news for guys who live away from PBK's.

    I believe they do. They are big bikes with big power and consume parts earlier (a lot earlier) than 100/125cc's. So they need there share of special care. At PBK they observe and change old parts themselves. so you dont have to care about when to change spark plug or air filter. and I remember my experience at the other service center. I had a long fight with them for not putting 20W40 in my bike guys were convincing me that its very good quality oil sir. with very long life

        I guess better these guys are well trained , becos i had a bad exp with a Bajaj showroom , i was on a long drive to chikmaglur and had some technical snag and the Bajaj Service center in Hasan was unable to find the problem . So if these people are all trained would be great .. so they dont screw up our Indian big boys ...
        Riding is a joy ,until u ride safe...

          This is an old stuff. Regular dealers had started selling 220s 6-7 months back.
          Just don't buy it from there. I'm talking about the nearest dealer to the Chakan factory. SC mechanics are not trained. They service 220s besides Platinas, no special treatment.

            Since around 8 months,the PBK service center was closed in Pune,AFAIK i've seen ninjas,avengers,220's in the same service bay,right next to discovers and platinas(ninjas just have an independent section) but many times,outrage continues with waterjets not being available in service.In short you service your bike but still its dirty this happened with my 220 once.They really need to improve

              I get my bike serviced at Pro-Biking. Have tried getting it done a couple of times with local mechanics, but had a bad experience. I think the Pro-Biking guyz now know the machines well. And also i won't have the guts again to hand it over to anyone else than PBK.

              Its good news for guyz who had to travel a lot for PBK service centres. But again its the quality and trust which will be an important factor rather than the distance.

                ordinary bajaj dealers have sold p200 even in 2008 in places where pbk wasn't there.

                  Same here bro, quality and trust is indeed a greater issue. Truely said.

                    Servicing of p220 and avenger hasn't been up to the mark in the pro-biking SVCs. An answer good enough for the scarce sales of these 2 bikes in the recent past. God spare the poor souls who'll be taking their bikes to the non-probiking SVCs from now on!

                      haven't had any issues with the servicing in pbk here in chennai..have heard they are one of the very few who deliver good service.
