    When my bike was being run the would taunt me even more. I had a niggle with my front disc which was reducing my pick up. But after all the issues were site and the run in was complete the AS eats the P220 in all aspects.
    But still wouldn't call it an ideal upgrade from the P220. Cuz the difference is not that much to be called an upgrade. The only other bike I see as an upgrade right now is the CBR250. Would be a different story when the CS400 launches though.
    What was the front disc break problem u facing?
    I bought a used ns200 , it is having front wheel heaviness problem

      Somehow I managed to damage the getting disc. It was slightly bent cuz of which my front tyre was not moving freely. Got it replaced... Problem solved.
      Still don't know how it got bent

          Sadly, The answer is no. P220 cant be replaced. Karizma R comes close to it but its discontinued. Due to lack of dual shockabsorber , modern day bikes lack the comfort p220 offers. Forget about handling but we need comfort. Thats it .

              Agree. The comfort in Pulsar 220 is unmatchable with the current Pulsars + 220 has very good low end torque.
              I used to own a 220, but if anyone suggests me to buy another 220, i would never do that.
              Handling is a very important factor in a bike which includes braking as well and this should never be discarded. I met with some accidents in the 220, which might not have happened if 220 was a better handler. Maybe if the 220 was a lil more flickable, maybe if the 220 had breaks that work for the rear tyre the accidents might not have happened.

              Pulsar 220 lacks these characteristics:
              Good brakes + the bike should be able to make sudden turns and hold its ground if a dog or an insane human jumps in the middle of the road..
              It's a lot like nuts and bolts - if the rider's nuts, the ride - bolts!

                Same feelings here from a person who had pulsar 220 before (2015 model sold it ), people saying newer generation 220 is better than before is saying nonsense. I think they made it better before than now. Couldn't tolerate the roughness and vibration, wobbling, fish tailing, skidding etc etc, but seems like people who are using it can tolerate these issues, just to say it has 220cc. Handling is worst and it never flicks or turns. Some people even think that 220 is superior than 200NS or AS200(or duke 200) . AS200 has pathetic quality. Although none of these are good. People should check out the refinement of any Japanese bikes and then think about buying 220 and not just for the sake of having 220cc.
