Now P180 is even more VFM. for just 3k extra u gat a clip on, split seat, meaty fork, rearsets, Big ass tyre and a split grab rail. And a slight teak in the power!
Way to go bajaj!
P.s - Stop cribbing abt p200 parts going nto p180. Bajaj is giving its customers better options. be happy for the new customers.
Plus the embarassment put in the face of old P-200 owners!!!!
Way to go Bajaj!!!

If the P220 is gonna get some improvements/changes in its styling then why waste the efforts spent on the previous goodies(forks, rear discs etc). its a good move to pass them to its younger brothers.
if exclusivity is a issue, then the previous owners can buy the new upgrades and remain exclusive.
Embarasment? if ppl think that way then upgrades will never be there and yet ppl cry foul at companies for no new launches + upgrades!
Yes i do agree with u mate, But just think??? With these kind of upgrades, Bajaj is trying to save money by Patching up the older model bikes with little engine mods & more cosmetic beauties which already exist in their superior segment bikes. Their attitude to create a new model is just missing in them, this is being happening to all the little ones like discover, platina......etc... but not the same strategy in premium biking segment( thats what Bajaj calls their 200 & 220 as) Just think what will the 200 & 220 owners think seeing their bike parts rolling on to a different cc segment????? Would they be happy in that????? Yes, ofcourse the guy who bought the new versions of the 180's 0r whatever will put up a big smile on his face for being chained him into premium biking segment by their bigger bro's parts.... But at the end of the day the guy who actually bought a 200 or 220 for his exclusiveness will be in deep embarassment!!!!!

Whats embarassing about it?you want exclusivity , get a ducati or a norton.I don't understand what the fuss is all about?
Dude,
Ducati or a Proton.... is still a big time dream for many of them that includes me & of-course u!!! If i had the penny to buy a Ducati i will be standing out of the crowd and will take ages for u guys to catch up who dosent believe in exclusivity!!! I bet u bought ur 220 for its exclusivity.... U cant deny it bro....Maybe u guys can just pretend that exclusivity dosent matter, but it does for each & every one ....or else u would have not bought a current 200 or 220 if bajaj was also offering the both the mills in 180 or a 150 chasis.

xBhp is a place to share your thoughts but one should know the difference between posting with valid reasons and blatantly supporting any brand.
What I feel is that Bajaj is upgrading the 150/180 to 200/220 parts now. And 200/220 upgrades will be coming shortly. Otherwise as many have said 200/220 will have no USPs and Bajaj will be fool not to accept this. So relax guys!
Good move by Bajaj only if 200 and 220 are also getting major upgrades.. or it'll just add to the confusion between its own siblings..
The 180 was the previous flagship model of the Bajaj so I think it has received the right treatment now, Except for the weight increment thing all other modifications are a big welcome...
@ 200 owners, Dont worry guys the weight of 180 has gone up even more than the 200 now so i think it'll be considerably slower than the 200. One shouldnt buy the bike just for exclusivity, We at XBHP know very well the value of BHP and power to weight ratio.. aint we???
Do anyone know what would happen to the p220????
I hope that they would do something to make the 220 visually different from other pulsars..........
And if they can't do so,i would request them to phase out the 220......

The new P180 & the P150 will get a new black colour.Got this info from Bagga Link,Karol Bagh but no idea as to what exactly is the difference.As of now the showroom guys are not able to tell the difference between the old black and the new black.
