2009 Bajaj Pulsar 220 Discussion Thread - First Ride Impression at Post No. 514

[Mik]

Bajaj should have some exclusive exchange offers for the existing P220 Dts-Fi customers

Read the Zigwheels review again......man o man....if even 50% of what they are saying is true.....then baap re baap...they actually made a baap of the 220

Baap... hmmm.. hence we can conclude.. that the Pulsar is definitely male

^^^^
Ya, Seriously.
Waiting to get news from Sunny and Aryan.

So on-road the 220 Dtsi will be cheaper than the 125cc stunner?
And what happens to the P200 now?will the carb model be phased out or will there be a price reduction? because the P200 was 70 ex-showroom

Looks like a screamer unit.

All new clutch.
Revised engine internals.
Softer Compound rubbers.
Revised suspension.
Revised Ergonomics.
Fuel Efficiency!!

EDIT: Maybe they should do away with the rev limiter as well.

[Obsessed]

What is the exact time of launch Can't wait more

[silver_falcon_46]

There seems to be quite a few changes in the engine front which I am happy about. I dont understand the mileage figures though. So much improvement in mileage when they actually shifted to carb! Funny

[MG]

^^The launch event is in progress.

[Prabhakar]

Its confirmed.
The Ex-price Showroom Price is 70k.
Revvy nature engine.

Bookings are open & delivery 2-3weeks.

[bprags]

Fuel efficiency figures as given by ZW,
City : 42.1 kmpl
Highway : 52.9 kmpl

Zigwheels mileage figures aaha, sounds nice. That was the same site that gave the mileage figure of around 60 for the FZ16, dunno whether that was for 2 litres or one litre.

Now you can get a much better performance vehicle at the same price as that of a rtr180,fz16. Might trigger everyone to reduce their prices including zma and r15.

I guess RTR 180 with 64k ex-showroom is safer than FZ with 65k and ZMA. Moreover FZ-S is 67k ex-showroom in Bangalore and Fazer will be around 70k ex-showroom ... now these could be hit bu this launch but FZ's buyers are from another category altogether .. they just want looks .. nobody looks at a page saying: technical specifications

So probably worst hit would ZMA/P200 and to some extent R15 and RTR 180 which is again in it's own league.

[Sunny]

Both P220s will be availaible simultaneously. The new 220 will be at 70k ex showroom. The current 220 will be expensive since it has a FI

[nitrosatya]

New clutch and new tyres. I will change to these on my Fi 220.

[bprags]

This might change the whole biking scene (if its the 70000 ex showroom price) !

!

Include even the new P180 in that, there is just a diff of 10K between the P180 & new P220. I wonder where the P200 will sit in between these two. Can any one confirm if the P200 is still in production.

[ajinkya]

thats good news, will the fi be available with the black theme

[inflammable]

PULSAR 200 is DEAD. And thats the update from my side.
