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

why difference of rs11000 in the price of old pulser and new pulser.

[Sumit_Singh]

P220 with Full engine cover would look amazing.

But Bajaj sirji ne semi-faring kiya.....

What ever this bike is amazing.

So that we can enjoy the Black Engine for time being, may be who knows Fi is going to be Full Fairing never know at 93K

I know the Pulsar shape (& tank) is getting too common.. it is because it has sold and sold really well.. but frankly it's quite difficult to imagine the Pulsar Brand without its Signature tank.

If there needs to be a change, then the entire bike has to change and not just the tank.. which will definitely be a big challenge.

And yes, I do find the Pulsar 200 one of the Most Elegant/Beautiful/Handsome Bike in the world (no kidding).. the looks of which have now gone to the P180 UGIV.

I think a change the tank design is not so difficult. I do think Bajaj is sticking with the tank to retain their 'pulsar' image but then again wouldn't it be better for the brand itself if a totally new tank design was launched? This one is getting .... oold.!

Love it or hate it, this is the only tank which you can find in 23-24 lakh pulsars which makes it the most sold ever in the 150cc+ category in the world(probably!!) .And still people are buying, then why BAJAJ should be bothered.

Bajaj has been carrying this design for almost a decade, yet the foundation design of the bike looks fresh, muscular and an eye-candy...!

But this remains a fact that Bajaj has to improve upon the knee recess of the tank. Look at almost all hondas, they seem to be so perfect in terms of knee recess, evey Apaches.....not to even mention Yamahas.....!

Talking about P200, it was just an awesome looking bike...no two ways about it...!

IMHO, The pulsar tank has to stay.
same as you get the 7 slot grill in a jeep, it's the signature;
& what is a pulsar without it's most recognizable feature?

[Samy]

As per the Bike India July issue....New P220 has best power to weight ratio compared with any other Indian bike in production. Does this mean we can say P220 is quickest (0-60) without even putting it to test with other bikes ?

[srivaatsav]

Price On Road in chennai is 79850/- ... just booked one 2day !! black colour

Delivery time 7 to 10 days ...since black is on demand already

Exactly. Even the BMW's come with their trademark grille style.So IMO the pulsar tank has to stay.

Congratulations! All those track days abroad haven't tempted you to go for the R15 or the RTR?

oops...I missed your post earlier.

Thanks. There are no tracks around pune so my only chance to be on podium is to win Red Light GPs and P220 should be the best tool for the purpose

Congrats samy for your new warhorse

Whats the on-road price at Hyd ?? and is the news confirmed that this bike will be available in Bajaj showrooms ...??

[Puneet1]

the tank may be their trade mark style but it doesnt go with the 220's looks .
it should be better sculpted a with knee recesses and a bit higher near console but lower near the seat . it will also add more exclusivity to the half faired 220
