Joel is 100% right.....

If Bajaj want their level in the market...then they have to launch some Quality Bikes. Not by up grading their oldies!!!

Very well said bro. Agreed 100%.
I think Bajaj is doing these things to regain it's second position.
A P220 owner will never like to see an almost same looking (if not better) bike available at a lesser price.

that's a gr8 news, damn i missed the video.. anyways, a rear disc brake assembly on the 200 would surely do good to the current hopeless drum brakes..

P.S.: Can the existing 200 be upgraded to these mods??

Can someone PM me any pics or videos?

Bajaj has been playing this puzzle game for a game now. Mix and match of parts and calling it new.
Eliminator + p180 engine = Avenger
Boxer + left over bits of Bajaj aspire = CT100
CT100 + Left over bits of Wind 125 = Platina
Platina + XCD engine = Platina 125
Discover + caliber 115 engine = Discover 115
Now P200+ p220 left overs = New p200.

More than real thinkers, they only seem to have puzzle makers at Bajaj.

This 19ps claim is again another big fart from Bajaj. That engine can never potentially pump any serious power coz it has a hopeless configuration. The day they dump that stupid engine and make something new, the pulsars will never meet their claimed figures.
Guess Bajaj is getting smart over the launch of the RTR180 and also the RTR Fi is eating into the P200/P180 sales efortlessly thesedays. They have to do something now.
I only wish they produce quality motorcycles. They have the tech, they have everything, then why not.

Do any of these updated bikes have monoshock ?

This is what Bajaj is all about. A thread started today and it has already spanned 14 pages.RESPECT.
If the news is true.(I haven't been lucky to see the posted video in time) then Bajaj has truly thought things over and given the P200 the much needed upgrades. Hope it's lighter as well.
Carbs are good as they are(and can easily be made) much more mad than FI.
Having spent 6 months with a P200,I can vouch for the fact that it's one of the best machines on road today. And I will buy one again if I have to.
I will be,hopefully() be the first one to buy the new P200. I was just waiting for it all this while. Guess patience was worth it.
It's the normal version for me though without the P220 fairing. Always loved the subtle yet menacing looks of the P200.
Immense respect for that statement.

I must admit that people who are disillusioned by Bajaj's 'sudden' upgrades musnt take it to their heart. When exactly was the P200 launched? Two years ago? It's a long time for an upgrade to be in line. Not to forget TVS did the same with the Apache 150 when they came up with the RTR.

@chetan

whats the news from your end??did you visit PBK???any news for power hungry people??

Might be an initiative by Bajaj to give its customers more in these times of recession and hence try win back its market share in the performance category (which looks highly unlikely when the biggy Yamaha is out to prove itself by giving us some really good machines)

I knew this had to come. Knew Bajaj was watching.

Remember a Bajaj team message to xBhpians some time back.

WAAAT?? At the same costs, it will be a steal. Highly unlikely. Let's see if who you talked to was speaking the truth.

Achievement would be an understatement. It would be a breakthrough in pricing department if its the same price.

This is getting bigger and better by the moment! FI on the 200..!! That's news.. Guess, all we can do is wait for the actual upgrades to be launched. But, if these new features (including the FI) is launched at the SAME PRICE, then that would be quite an acheivement in itself on Bajaj's part, I say!

Called up the New Bombay Probiking centre, asked them if theres a new P200 model on display, the person on the other side said YES. Furthur I asked if its on sale, he said wait.... transferred the call to the manager, got a reply saying theres no such model on display . On furthur bugging he said things like Fi and rear disc brakes on P200 are coming up in the new couple of weeks at same costs .

No updates on 220 though and Ninja 250 will be launched in May 2009 he said.

Will visit the new bombay Probiking showroom today evening to check out things.

WOW. i left yesterday and theres was nothing about Bajaj. And now i'm back and woosh... 13 pages already covered???

By the way are these bikes on display in Delhi?

wow! performance upgrade! so cool!... always is the best thing about Bajaj.

Now there will be more confusion as to which pulsar is standing in front of you.

What a news man!! Would love to see my friends' faces who have got new pulsars in last few months

Any news on the pricing?? And will the existing versions of 180 and 200 continue along with the new ones, or are they about to be replaced




OT:Thread started at 12 noon, and now at 4:45 PM 13 pages Look bajaj Look
