News Approved.

This is incredible, really! But, I wonder why is there no 'official' news on this. Nobody even has a clue about this! Are these on sale already? I hope this is official, though else this thread would be promptly locked.

But, on the other hand if this news IS true, then the new, upgraded P-200 would be THE machine to have! Rear discs, upgraded power, 220's front forks, clip-on handle bars, the goodies! Wow! But it is kind of unfair for the people who have got the P-220. I mean Bajaj is just recycling the parts of the P-220 to the P-200! Now, we'll be even more confused, and ofcourse the exclusivity factor will go down the drain even further (as is the case with Pulsars).

Now the 200 would look like the 220, and the 180 would be like the 200, and we will have YET another variant of the 200 without that 220 fairing! Pretty darn confusing..I am sure it would be confusing even for the PBK service centers!

P.S: From the video, it doesn't seem like a mod-job, seems pretty genuine. But, I wonder why Bajaj or anyone here doesn't have a clue about this!

P.P.S: When is the upgraded P-220 being expected? And did you happen to get any information about the looks, etc. of the upgraded 220?

Good work though! That spy video looks real good.

WOW! Good news. Good work, ritwik.

The 180 looking like the 200. The 200 looking like the 220. Power upped to 19 ps. But I would be more interested in the torque figures.

I am wondering how much more the new 200 will cost over the older 200.

@ritwik: Also, did you happen to find out whether this new 'upgraded' P-200 is FI or the carbed version?

thnx buddy for the quick approval....actually i was going to post this vid last night only but my friend could not upload it.

Ya the new p200 and p200 owners are going to be pissed seeing all these goddies on the new p200.

the new 220 is goin to have atlest 1 or 2 more bhp then the existing model...that's for sure as dis is wht the ProB guy said when he wa asked the question.there may be some cosmetic changes as well to differenciate it frm the 200.but man o man the 200 looks smashing in blue with the clipons and bigger forks.

the new p200 is still running on good old carbs.unfortunately

@Ritwik: Yes, I can imagine how the new P-200 with the thicker forks and the rear disc would look! Terrific, really! I would anyday prefer to get the naked "upgraded" P-200 as compared to that faired 200!

But, yes, I do feel that Bajaj has cheated it's pre-existing owners of the P-200/ 220. This is not really a done thing. Anyhow, I hope the new upgraded P-220 looks somewhat different than the exisiting P-220; an increase of 1-2 horses would be the limit I guess for this mill!

Morning i was saying to my friends in pulsar variants P200 is the best looking, and i log in to XBHP to see the looks are spoilt, front forks and clips on are good but why why the rattling faring.. Good to know about the power i hope the engine will be refined..

PS: Bajaj website is down, there are upto something.

@aryan: remember Aryan few days back i had asked about this, now we have idea what happened to P180 but what will happen to P150

I hope its a screamer. Anyways, the new 200...i mean WTF..??? Bajaj has struck again.!! Existing customers will be like especially who bought it 1-2 months ago.

EDIT: Expecting this thread to heat up today .

Yes, it is down. Hmmm.
I think Discover 150 launch is imminent.

ya i do feel so too....a guy who might have bought a new 220 a week back will be pissed royally seeing these bikes lol.i feel that even the new 200 owners will be a bi ticke off coz they could hv taken these new bikes!man i'm just waiting for the launch of this bike....wanna c if i can get the frnt forks and clipons fitted to my bike.i'v got an old 200

Well, Aryan i dont think so that Bajaj has cheated its customers..in a way that every company does the upgrade to the bike only if that bike does a good amount of business in the market..!! So, once the Pulsar 200/220/180 became a hit..then only it makes sense that they would launch the upgraded versions of the existing models, so as to attract some more customers..

In a way this holds true..but this can be purely bad luck for them..!!

Yes, totally agree with you there Pranay. Bajaj has really gone overboard this time, I feel! I guess my next bike (whenever that will be) will surely not be Bajaj! What's the use getting a "Probike" only to see a new 'upgraded' model, 2 months down the line!

@Inder: But buddy, Bajaj has been upgrading their Pulsar series like maniacs, really! I feel it's time to move on to a new 'platform'. I hope they launch the Ninja 250R soon enough, before yet another upgrade of their infamous Pulsar!

Probably the new 220 will have 1 - 2 bhp more and a full fairing coupled with a full black theme!

P.S: Hope am not pushing this too far.....

Thanks for the infos Ritwik. Kudos to your friend for the spy video.
Now the P200 will look like a P220 with black alloy. As per conversation in the video, P200 is still carb.

how about a pulsar165 that would look like the older P180 (all black look)
