    YouTube - Best of Bajaj Pulsar
    The video had a very nice audio track which the people at youtube got disabled due to copyright issues! I can mail the video to anyone who wants it [ I had downloaded the original one with the audio track too!]

    Thanks for the link.

    Same old MRF tyres. A better soft compound tyres would do a lot good to the performance.

    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.
    @payeng : Pricing will have little or no effect on competitions, Zma, R15 and Pulsar220 have their own USPs. For instance you have R1 styling and Yamaha badge on R15 a dream track tool, Zma is super commuter and a proven tourer.
    Pulsars still have to etch their USPs loud and clear in the premium segment (P220 is not a comfortable commuter like Zma nor proven tourer like Zma, P220 is not a track bike either). Remember P220 DTSi is a result of poor sales of P220 DTSFi. As of now the only USP would be 'Fastest Bike' tag, only time will tell the truth about success of P220 DTSi..

    here are some pics which is being posted on orkut Bajaj has discontinued P200 now P200 will come in two variants one will be in carb n another will be in FI. The Carb one engine is having now a bigger carborator for better performance. and cosmetic vise there is no changes execpt the all black engine n there is a sitcker which is on fairing which displays F word. Anyways im disopinted for discontiuning the P200.

    Its a good offering,,

    i still will go with the Fi if i will pick a 220.

    FI is something that figures dont justify.It may produce a lil lower pwr than the 220 carb,but
    Its the linear power delivery that i liked the best on fi.

    They can retain the same tread pattern and yet give a softer compound. I wonder if its even in the range of what the Zapper Vyde offers!!

    I would be very interested to carry them over to my P220 DTS-Fi as well.
    Suspension changes if any would most prolly not be visible, only thing I guess they would have done is prolly made the rear stiffer...but then what about the front!!

    Also did you notice there seems to be a slight alteration to the Headlight!
    Could not spot the alteration, please point it out!!!

    So the thread is up & running.

    I'm disappointed to see the images whose original owner is some automobile publication being pasted here as motorbeam.com.All the images are hereby deleted.

    I for one would be very interested to carry them over to my P220 DTS-Fi as well.

    U can see the new speedo background here. Hope Bajaj has atleast changed the backlight color this time
    So its seems the 19Nm @ 7000RPM thing is true!

    This bike makes slightly lesser torque at a slightly later RPM. The P220 Fi makes 19.12Nm @ 6500 RPM. These guys are going the R15 way! To extract more out of the same engine they seem to have narrowed the powerband!!!
