    The race kit is meant to be ridden on a closed circuit, read that as the Chennai or the Coimbatore race tracks only.

    But would that actually stop guys from riding it on the streets..??


    The P220 DTSi remains the Fastest Indian Road Legal Production Bike.


    Even if I had the money and access to these tracks I dont think I would still be able to achieve 150 on a track. Some things are best left for the racers and I can do with my share on the good highways that I have inspected myself and found suitable enough to go fast

      • Well as sumit n johnjojo said,, i think jus 4 a additional speed of 15kmph (as r15's top spd is 135kmph - racing kit spd 150kmph) , spending 1.6L will surely not go down 2 well wid much of d indians,, instead buy two 220's and njoy d power of 440 cc (220+220) engine,, hehe just kidding ,but in d end it all depends upon ppl's thinking n liking

            Quite surprising to see you go for the P220, I thought you would have gone for the ZMA again!
            Hey am good ... as u know, was never a fan of the pulsars, but this one got me. Didnt want a zma again & R-15's cost is a bit too steep compared to wat i get. I wanted a good touring bike & this is the only one that could be a worthy zma replacement. Its a real bang for the buck & Ill surely get the best outta it Will be back with pics once i get my ride....Cheers Vivek.

                Sigh Bajaj used to make such brilliant ads before.

                  I think, the new ad is not horrible but it sure does not put P220 in lime light. The bike is hardly shown for a sec in the ad and they way the "Hero" sits on bike and rips the throttle he rather should have been on a LIVE OFF THE EDGE commercial

                  • well the 220 ad

                    tag line : THE FASTEST INDIAN

                    where the hell in the ad does the place look like india
                    it looks like some wild west cow boy location!!

                    looks like the commercial was purely based on DHOOM:

                    FAST BIKES
                    ROBBERIES

                    now this is a work of a creative mind

                        I think racing kit is very costly.. Still 220 holds VFM performer position..

                          from the license plates on the cop cars, it looks like some central or south american country...maybe columbia. It could be Mexico as well.

                            certainly yes

                            also not to forget the people as well as the police cars

                            where the heck in india do we have police running around in sedans!!!

                            well though i know that they wanted to convey the bike as fastest indian but hey the ad makes little sense

                                The P220 DTSi is the 'Fastest Indian' Bike.. be it in Colombia, Mexico or Indonesia.

                                Simple
