  • The first product from bajaj which has taken me for surprise, that doesn't mean earlier one's were not, but this made me eye raising, good job.

    @MG need some info offline

    Edit : I haven't test ridden any of the bajaj males till now, will be trying this female once.

        +1 but value for money is what making people notice it. I never expected a 220 at 75k(Delhi price) even in my wildest of dreams.

            • Am kinda happy that 200 is going out of production, it would make it more exclusive, coz after few months.. you would get a P220, P180, P150 but not a P200 and the newer P180 is nowhere closer to the P200 in looks if you see it from the right-hand-side I love my P200 more.

              Btw, how much would be the on-road price of P220-carb in Mumbai??

                Around 1k and max 1.5k lesser than current Karizma price in Mumbai.

                      • My biggest thought is, as mentioned the 220fi will still be continued,so would someone still but the fi ?

                          I don't see anyone telling anything about P220Fi anywhere.I guess it will remain in the present form.

                          Ideally no one should buy it but if I have to buy a P220 right now then I would still be in a fix as Fi still holds some importance for my kind of usage but that's just me.I think there will be handful of such people still present but the number will be very very less.

                            The P220 Fi was also available in non Probiking showrooms, here in Raipur too it is available, in fact at a higher price compared to the nearest probiking showroom.
                            Never upgrade without getting your basics RIGHT.

                            • India is not for upgrades???

                              No wonder serious bike manufacturers the Japs and the others are reluctant to bring in their bikes.

                              How will the Indian scenario ever improve????

                              If a down graded bike gets such a hype in India cause it is cheap, how will the biking scenario in India develop???

                              Forget all the latest technology, forget liquid cooling, forget twin spar frames, forget Fi, forget mono shocks, forget double disc brakes forget everything India is and will remain stuck with air cooled carbed engines mounted on bicycle frames..because it comes cheap..thats it..when it is cheap forget technology, forget safety, forget performance, forget braking, forget cornering forget riding gears, forget helmets..forget everything...
                              India biking will never improve...
                              I will now never blame Hero Honda and the Munjals for anything..they are probably the best Indian Auto brains...

                              Sad that the P220 was down graded in the interest of revenues..now more and more non helmeted, t shirt clad guys will be wheeling around local buses and autos on MG Road...good bye to bikers...
