@ Samarth_619
Hii Samarth, Can you Let me know the actual Ex showroom price of the bike. Our local dealer (Aburoad) told me it is about 77,000/- Ex.showroom.

77k Ex-Showroom?? He's talking Total BS! Or it must be on road price ...

The Ex-Showroom price in Ajmer, was told to be 71,500. It is actually 70k in Pune, but transportation, etc. adds Rs. 1500 more ... And on Road price is 78,500 in Ajmer.

I'm sure, that in AbuRoad it will be that much. Check again.

I agree with Samarth, here in Ahmedabad the ex-showroom price is about 71-72K, and the onroad price comes to about 79K. Either he quoted you the onroad price or there's something else going on.

First, my most sincere apologies for the delay in replying. have been busy arranging for the money...

@priyatam: Thanks mate....ur wishes are indeed needed.

@Sudharshaninu: Sold my old 220 because it had started giving a lot of problems and every alternate two months it would need either the clutch plates or the chainset and the one-way would go kaput every 3 months....too much maintenance for me....and yes, thanks

@payeng, @bandhav: Bro one simple reason for this is that the new 220 is faster and is for only 74K which is very much within my pocket's reach. Ninja on the other hand has an entirely different story. she is coming in October and with a price tag of above 2.5L and frankly tht is not at all my budget and i cant even wait that long. In that case i would rather add a lac or two more and settle for a second hand 600. Watever the case may be Ninja is still a 250 only it can never beat the fun of a good 600.

@vipin_s: it is only because of the RTO. Bajaj people have around 100 bikes in stock waiting to be delivered but stuck because the RTO commissioner has gone on leaves and is expected to either have returned or return soon.

P220dtsi Test ride report

Hello everyone ,,today i finally got a chance to test ride p220 dtsi ,,chose this day to expect a comparatively lesser crowd at bajaj showroom, and so it happened, reached the borivali branch within 25 mins from my place on my bike ,, the executive there were really coperative and helpful,, after a brief intro of the bike (say 5 mins) he took me out for a test ride of red p220dtsi,, and to my surprise he told me not to take out the bike on road , the reason wot he said was that the p220 dtsi in mumbai has still not got the clearance from the rto dept. and the police will seize it if caught riding on road, was a bit disappointed as i'd to ride it in the inner compound of the showroom which mainly consisted of the parking lot ,,but as i'd reached in morning (10:30am) the parking lot was empty,,so did manage to reach the third gear, riding the bike on tiny circular circuit(haha, i mean compound) so only a few things which i got to know was;;;;; Pick up was really good(cant comment on the FI, as i've not ride it);;;;;;; u could really feel the power of the bigger engine, at 3rd gear i thought i might even cross 80kmph ;;;;;;; vibration was not felt, but my speed was only 25-30kmph,,so cant give a concrete comment;;;;;; the bike was really stable and easy to handle as i'd many turns in my short ride and contradictory to my thought, i felt the bike was'nt too heavy;;;;;; engine was smoother but didnt felt the same with the gear shifts ;;;;;; he told me to expect the average of the bike within 35-40 kmpl;;;;;;;; the outer look of the bike really looks compact and smarter but the killer tag only suits the black p220 dtsi,, ;;;;;;,,,,the otr price quoted here(mumbai) was Rs 79717/- ;; min.down payment was 29127/- wid monthly emi of 2353 for 31 mths (9.5% flat interest),, and for interest free scheme Rs461181/- d/p and a monthly emi of 3877 for 10 mths ,,he told me to expect the delivery of bike after 1 month from the date of booking,, with no additional accessory with the bike----- towards the end of the conversation i just thought 2 ask him about the running-in period for this bike, and to my surprise again he told me that no such things are prescribed by bajaj and you can rip the engine right from the word go. Wonder, if offlate the Bajaj co. is following the MOTOMAN's theory....
Sorry guyz for bad formatting,, but plzz let me off as this one's just my 1st test ride report ;-))

hotwheelz that was a nice report, because unlike others you have also mentioned the financing schemes for the bike - which would help many prospective buyers to plan their deal. Good going there dude

All Hyderabad P220 DTSI Club members, on road price increased to 79,215.00+155.00= 79,370/-
