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

[Samy]

I have official quotation of P220 DTS-i from PBK, Pune. It will be 78,105 INR On road in pune.

Also, they have new color names for the colors of new P220. Earlier, blue used to be called Long beach blue and new one is called Plasma Blue. As per PBK sales guy...color is same only name is different. We will only know when we see the bike if it's a different shade compared to earlier color.

this is the the mentality of the majority of people....... 220cc kya hoga itna bada ingine ka...... 125 kafi hai......... (what to do with 220 cc...... 125 is enough.....)
itna kam mileage........ are mera Passion hi achha hai ...... (so less mileage....... mu Passion is better.......)
kaisa ajib dikhta hai...... tank kitna bada hai ...... (out of the world design........ so big tank........)
are piche bhi disk hai....... jyada accident hoga....... aise co. ko band kar dena chahiye ........(rear disk too...... means more accident...... these cos. sud be banned.......)
so chill out...... these people will never change and will always talk ill about the products other than they like....... for them till now Maruti is the best brand....... and thats why HH is the best-seller.......
but for us TVS n Bajaj is there who are continuously giving us competent products and making us smile.......

These uncles make my blood boil! They are better off cycling.

About the LEDs it is possible. You just need to remove the old LEDs and solder on the new ones!

But i felt (from the pics) that this blue was more vibrant. Same goes for the red.

What about the swing arm..?

Im not sure if anyone noticed this or whether this has already been discussed...but the swing arm on the 220 dtsi seems to be from the lower capacity siblings and not the elliptical cross-section type(the 1 in the fi version of the bike) that came in the avenger. But this is only an observation ..i think it may not be the elliptical one in the newer version..not sure of that though.

I disagree with the PBK, have seen all the colours in the new 180 and all of them looked different to me.
Black:I already mentioned it on the last page.
Silver:More greyish like Unicorn
Blue & Red:Looked lighter than the earlier ones.But these two might be same as the earlier ones but definitely not the first two.

I guess the same colours should be continued on the bigger 220.

@Samy-Is the bike already showcased in Pune PBK?Need to check it out.

Its still the same elliptical swingarm, where did you spot something different!

Any news on RVM's wobbling issues on the new P 220 at higher speeds?? Hope they are more functional now

According to BSM first ride report, the mirrors' issue seems to be still alive ? ( last line of the article suggests so)

Yes, it seems it does.

By the way, I think I have found a solution for this issue. I am going to remove the fairing mounted RVM's of my P220 and put the handle bar mounted ones from the 2009 P180 UGIV.. its got the same clip on handlebars found on the P220, so fitting the handle bar mounted RVM's should probably be possible.

Will post pics if done.

Thanks for the clarification..atleast I wont be spreading wrong information now . I didnt come across any pic till now to have a better vew or the rear section so it just seemed so.
