      • Thread Opened.

        Okay, since we are having OT discussions about the 'carb' P220 on the Ownership Experience thread of the P220 DTS-Fi, hence I am re-opening this thread. Please continue any and every discussion regarding the 'carb' P220 here, in this thread, exclusively until someone buys the 'new' P220 and we get a separate Ownership Experience thread of the 'carb' P220!

        P.S: I noticed MG's msg. just now, regarding the re-opening of this thread on 22nd June. Hence, it is all the more apt to open this thread, now.
        :)

                    The bike has already arrived in the showroom(s), atleast here in Delhi.
                    xBhp is the Last place where any news can be got. All over the net you can get these news. It seems that higher officials in bigger companies pull strings in xBhp to keep pictures and news away from here! That can be the only logical explanation.

                    • So to continue the discussion...

                      I'm interested in the Fuel Efficiency figures. Not that I bother, but just how the lack of FI will hit it or Bajaj.. has again done some magic here.

                      • Thanks Aryan,

                        So the story so far has been:

                        >> Styling: Not much of a change expect Black Engine, Alloys and suspension
                        >> DTSi: Looks like a Big Sized Carb from the pics


                        Figures that needs to be officially declared/ratified:

                        >> Pricing: 70K ex showroom (??)
                        >> Powerformance: Fastest Indian Bike (??)

                        Comment


                        • ok.. visually not much different (at least from the pics uploaded here)

                          performance figures will be out by morning I guess.. or whenever the reviewers publish them... arnd 80K OTR, and top whack greater than the R15 (???) .. yamaha's sales will be hurt for sure.

                            I would actually doubt that.. the R15 still has the R1'esque Full Fairing, which would sell it in India, even if it might be slower

                            But yes, if the price really is 80K OTR then it can take a bite out of ZMA sales and also affect the RTR 180's chances. And with almost 25-30K less than the R15, it could effect the buying decision of a few potential R15 buyers as well.

                            • Few more specs

                              U can see the new speedo background here. Hope Bajaj has atleast changed the backlight color this time

                              • Bigger cat-con, better starter clutch, and what not! Seems like this new iteration of P220 is really the step ahead.

                                P.S: I also see a new instrumentation, whereby the design of the tachometer has been changed. Also, it would be interesting to see what "new colors" Bajaj brings with this 'new' P220!
