    I'm sure people at Bajaj are not dumb, they must have something sensible in store this time, IF all this is indeed true.
    Just saying that 21bhp is far too less to hit 145kph.
    Hey Mate, Just a thought of mine... when a 17 bhp 6 speeder with 4 valves can see a top whack of 135+kmph in good conditions, I dont see any reason why the new p220 wouldnt be able to hit 140-145kmph provided it comes with 21-22 bhp on tap.
    It just depends on how the power curve of the new p220 wud be, it needs to be more peaky to do that, if the peak bhp is at around 9k rpm and peak torque around 7.5-8k rpm with 4valves and well sorted out 6 speed gear box with kerb weight around 140kgs then 140kmph plus would be very much achievable
    or am i asking for too much??

    Juss my guess if it's a carb it won't require a ecu fuel pump blah..blah..blah..

    See, none of us can quote figures like say 21bhp or whatever to relate to the claims coz Bajaj has not officially declared any bit. God knows if its even the same engine, coz that original Pulsar engine is a dud to extract any serious power and make it a sprinty bike. The pulsar has always been a low-mid power bike than being a high end rev counter. I hope its a new engine!

    If some source from bajaj is indeed claiming it to be 21bhp, let me tell you its not at all gonna be easy to clock a true 145kph. With the pulsars being always heavy, atleast upwards of 140kgs, it will need close to 25bhp to really clock that figure. Else, yes it will still do 140-145kph true, but will consume an entire international airstrip (2-3kms)..which in no means will be a figure to achieve on normal conditions.

    some if P220 has one of the more advanced carbs .... it can achieve the feat

    the thing that makes me take things light is that when R15 claims to be 17 bhp at crank.... there is less difference at the rear wheel ( courtesy - joel)

    if its 21 claimed by P220..... i wonder what would be the figure at rear wheel
    i seriously hope that the transmission has been worked upon and also if the bike is claimed to achieve 145kmph
    i wish the bike would be rideable at that speed and not wobble
    or else there is no use

    If you are talking about this one then these are obviously car guys riding bikes and giving opinions, IMO.
    tht video is bullshit , they are riding the RTR , NOT RTR FI. See the stripes.

    I hope that the handling on the new P220 has been tweaked and improved this time.

    +1.....

    Very well said...

    And after owning/having close affinity with all the generation of pulsars I can safely say/feel/know how much bajaj has improved on the handling of its bikes.....with each new iteration....!

    But, among all the other manufacturers in the country, it still remains a fact that 'others' make better handling bikes than Bajaj....!

    ^ +1 like joel says "all it matters is 800meters not 8000meters to prove the top end"
