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

- 5- Speed Tansmission to ensure that the engine runs in the most efficient driving zone.

5 Speed transmission ...does earlier model have a less than 5 speed transmission...

5 Speed transmission ...does earlier model have a less than 5 speed transmission...

Sunny is explaining the current set-up in accordance with the new top speed and the old 220-fi also had 5 speed gear box only!

[Grafix]

Sunny!!! Next Update Plz!!!

Looks like Bajaj is going the track-oriented way.

* Stiffer suspension front and back.
* Front rake revised.
* Larger front fork.
* Grippier rubber.
* Narrower power/torque band.
* Roll on figures lesser.



..which is why I said in the other thread that current P200 still retain their identity.
P200 still is the best looking bike overall, IMHO.

I'm still glad that they haven't gone hardcore into making bikes with super tiny power band which makes you wring the hell out of the bike for it to MOVE. They are tending a little towards track oriented set up, but I guess it wont be much.

Other than loosing out on Resale value theres not much to loose with existing P200 owners. If you really love what you ride, you wouldn't be bothering about resale value. Thanks to Bajaj making so many similar bikes, even parts for the 200 wont be a problem for a long time.

This one has a 'newer' 5 speed transmission. It has an all new clutch.

Yes, parts will never be a problem, I guess. Bajaj and resale don't go hand in hand anyways actually.

Two upcoming launches by Bajaj:
*18th July: The launch of, what probably will have world;s most fuel efficient engine
*End of Year: second launch, probably the Ninja 250

World's most fuel efficient Engine, WoW Bajaj in attacking mode with their R&D which is minting newer and better technologies for the sake of offereing high value for money to Indian consumers.

Now, where are the guys who said Pulsars all look the same?

P150,P180,P220 are all looking different and easily recognisable now!

[MR ACE]

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

Mr.Bajaj did not mention anything as such. Although, he did mention that the Fi 220 will NOT be phased out, for sure. Both the P220s will be available in the showrooms.

One thing to note is that Mr.Bajaj did mention that the Ninja 250 will be launched, in all probability in the next 3 months!

Thanks for this news Sunny. I checked with chennai PBK about the NEW P220 carb,The bike is yet to come this weekend
Ok Who's coming for the D-DAY

No mention about the Vibes (faring vibes, mirror vibes ... so on) are they gone ?? Anything done for that ? RVMS made bigger atleast now??
can never stop expecting more, but this is a welcome upgrade, along with the "F" sticker !!

Karizma R bewrae, pulsar will F U

- Improved DTS-Si engine for faster combustion and better efficiency.

Sirji thoda sa mistake lag raha hai.I guess that should read DTS-i & not DTS-Si

Update from my side

The new P220 will be available in non Probiking showroom.Which means it will be available everywhere in India. So a guy from Kalyan Maharastra don't need to go to Mumbai(70odd kms) to buy the new 220.
