    News Approved
    The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

      Thank you Ken da for the approval, Do you think its a wise move?

      IMO they should have discontinued the 180 and improved the 200 or just continues with it, The 200 was a great bike and IMO better than the 180.

      But with the new 180 and the new 220 at an attractive price, this was waiting to happen..

        Thats a Good Move --- As expected P200 is no more - since all its styling has been provided to P180....and P220 with more power and Eye candy......in the same price of 200.....there is no reason of producing it...

        All 200 owners.......!!!!

          This is the saddest part, I'm not criticizing Bajaj but it is the best looking Pulsar till date (Yes I know P220 exists). I admire whenever I come across one and it is hard to believe its being phased out . I think there is no price tag to set P200 in b/w P220 and P180 and hence the decision. New P220 DTSi cannot be a replacement to P200 in terms of looks even though P220 DTSi is good VFM bike, period.

          "All the styling" only style doesn't matter. Where is the exhaust note, where is the thump ?? Gone for a long trip

            Agreed... even i feel that the P200 is the best looking pulsar. Even performance wise it stands tall.

                I'm even more sad cos i own one, whenever i see her it's like she's smiling, saying c'mon man, lets go for a ride!! There have been literally some of the sweetest things that has happened in my life only after acquiring her and yes she plays a vital role in my life and she's one of the closest ones to me. Anyways, i'm not worrying much about 200 being phased out, i'm happy that i own one of them!

                      180 is 99% same (better handle bars/clip ons and meaty forks) with the exception of the exhaust ....

                      I don't understand what the fuss is all about?

                        There is no fuss about that mate!!! Just that Indian Biking industry has lost one of the sweetest looking bikes which is a good performer too!!! Yes, 180 is all the same except the exhaust, but 180 is still a 180 man!!!

                          If it exists in 180's form , how have we lost it ? and whts with the 180 is 180 man ... it seems you are comparing a 100cc with a 200cc ?

                          But yes , if thread is a mourning thread for previous p200 owners then yes , "Its a shame that the p200 is discontinued".

                          I for one am happy that p180 and p220 got great upgrades. And now that 200 is phased out , people can't criticise BAL for 10-20cc upgrades.

                            Why a bad day? With the phasing out of this bike, the value of yours suddenly took an upturn!
