      It was raining like anything so didn't clicked any pictures(Nothing new to click also).Just had one picture as a proof that I rode it.

      Anyways the Bangalore Leh guys(Rockkyyy,Rahul,Vinal) also saw it & followed it for good 60kms & the bike should be present in one of the group pictures.

      • got my red 220 on the 12'th. paid 75500 for it in lucknow.
        sold off my p 180 dtsi v1 sad to see it go.
        initial impression was mixed one.
        low end grunt and smootheness awesome but top end not much better than my old 180.(atleast felt like it, maybe it was the hype in the mags which led to disappointment?)
        initially got 45 kpl during run in.
        after service and ripping it getting 38-40. not bad.
        top speed yet 124 kph on speedo.
        roll on acc. seems more sluggish than my 180.(feels like it ,no comparison)
        what do other 220 owners feel
        ridden it 800 km till now
        pulsar 180 classic - 2001-2004
        pulsar 180 dtsi v1 - 2004-2009
        pulsar 220 dtsi - 2009-

            • The only query i have is whether the carbed bike will give any problems with cold starts? Coz my Fi has never ever missed in the cold.

              • That was cruel Mr.Aryan.. towards men_in_jean. At least move the post to an appropriate thread.. the ad was awesome.. And a new ad does belong to the news thread.. the old 1 did.. there was lots of discussion about the old "The Fastest Indian" ad.

                Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

                      • Cancelled my 220 booking today as they said that the delivery might take a months time. TC approval from RTO is still pending.

                          Dude, complete the run in , then start ripping, it has only been 800 kms. personally IMO,it is still the best pulsar over all, roll on is slower than the DTSfi but not the 180.

                          • Relax the bike is still a baby, its still growing. The engine will take some time to set in. During that period you have to ensure that you don't stress out the engine too much.

                            Its only post 10K that the engine opens up its true potential.

                              Well!! here it says "oil-cooled engine"..... in specs it says air-cooled
                              I am aware of the oil-cooler but an oil cooled engine is supposed to be different, ain't it??

                                Bajaj forgot to mention the word "is" between "Oil" and "cooled", actually!
