Same here. But Sirac 120/80 is out (source: PrafulOriginally posted by payeng View Post
) so that might be a good deal as well for non-leaner types.

IMO, the current P200 and P220Fi both retain their identity.Originally posted by Aryan View Post
Actually, let's see when its comes to 'our' hands. Hehehe...Originally posted by MG_Biker1806 View Post
EDIT:- The 'F' sticker. Is it a poke at ZMA 'R' sticker? No brand war intended. To me 'R' makes more sense than 'F'. The only thing that I can think of from 'F' rhymes with Luck!!!...

The bike looks yummy , the price is the icing, but the 'F' spoils the mood!
What(s) the 'F' ??

Now that the FI is gone, things that can be missing now :-
- Crisp Throttle response
- Consistent fuel efficiency
- Not much change in state of tune with change in climate/altitude.
- Refinement levels
- Electrical issues

Praful, I agree that there were electrical issues with the earlier batch(like urs, Payeng), but is it still rampant now? AFAIH the electrical issues have been slowly resolved and brought to a minimum, if not totally eliminated.
Still, the thing I loved about the 220 over the others were its real crisp, neat throttle response with much less vibes! Am gonna miss that.
Is it so tough to tweak an Fi unit for more performance that they had to resort to a carb with all these gizmos?

So, the performance figures are out, finally! Looks great and if the speculated price is true then it'll take the fight to it's competitors, for sure.Comment

The issues were not there coz of the FI Unit as such, but more due to the other electrical paraphernalia that came along with the FI (sensors, fuel pump, et all) that was killing the reliability factor of the bike. Mechanicals on this bike are pretty reliable IMHO.Originally posted by Aparajith View PostPraful, I agree that there were electrical issues with the earlier batch(like urs, Payeng), but is it still rampant now?

And I have'nt heard of electrical issues on the newer bikes, but then the new bikes have'nt run as much So only time will tell if they really had nailed the electrical issues too...
But yes, more power meant only 2 ways either a carb or a better more intelligent Fi. I guess Bajaj made an intelligent choice keeping in mind the price concious Indian buyer!
@Payeng: Lovely pics there!
