yes, p200 is unfortunately discontinued.. i always liked the p200 for its power & VFM from all other pulsars..
am sure u will never regret, as here on xBHP you will find numerous tourers done really long hard core touring on both Karizma & P220 also.. so dont worry at all, you are about to take a wise decision... both are the top machines of their own Brands..

don't think too much dude... both these bikes have proven time & again their reliability and VFM. make up your mind and go get one, am sure you will not regret.

Congrats on choosing P220 DTSi 'the fastest Indian' !!

6. P220 a worldwide winner ? That line should belong to 'jokes thread I guess !!!
7. What has this to do with selecting/rejecting P220/Zma ?
8. Anyways Bajaj is loosing market in India at an alarming rate, Here's a GK question for you What is Bajaj's Marketshare in India (aaprox)??
a. Market leader with >50% b. 40% c.30% d.20% e.15% ??

Here's a GK question for you...

Do you really think ur herd mentality statistics are going to change his mind now that he's decided one already?

@praful : NO !!
Chill dude, Why are you getting tensed up dude ? What do you mean by saying "it has world class products who are conquering the international markets with great competition" ? If you have substantiation for above sentence I'd like to know ?? FYI, I didn't find any truth or sense in that statement !

The term "World class" is debatable. Besides that, Bajaj and TVS bikes are selling well abroad. Mainly due to their pricing and VFM they give at the segment (<250cc). Companies like Honda and Suzuki are getting their share of pie sliced in that segment in the countries where these bikes are available.

@yash.rsa. : Dude no offence meant to you, congo once again for selecting the fastest bike in India
@pranay : Ok sir.
Good bye to this thread

Tense lol :P

I never said the above part in bold. All I said is why are you wasting ur time throwing useless statistics when yash has already decided.

Take a chill pill man!

so p220 it is.... congrats on ur choice dude.

6. This link may help if you are educated enough to understand what has written. Go to page # 26 which reads
: Bajaj Pulsar had dominant presence in Sri Lanka, Columbia, Bangladesh, Guatemala, Peru, Egypt, Iran and Indonesia
and distribution network in 50 Countries

A REPORT ON ?COMPERATIVE ANALYSIS OF BAJAJ PULSAR V/S HERO HONDA HUNK ? ON BASIS OF PRODUCT, PERFORMANNCE AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS?

7. I did not see anywhere written by me that "that is a fact of rejecting zma" all I mentioned is just a fact and progressive approach of BML which wants to expand itself beyond the subcontinent and "unfortunately for you" it is succeeding well.

8. Again I do not mentioned anywhere that BML is a leader in India but still it brought HH's heart to its mouth within 5 years of Pulsar launch. BTW, all were loosing sales due to reccesion and BML was the major victim because of non-introduction of new versions and neglect of marketing strategy. And now when new products have launched, the sales are multipying. Afterall, a Lion doesnt have to roar to prove himself a lion.

Whatever your blubbered, it had little to do with the main issue. ZMA is a fantastic bike, I never rejected this thing and I respect that bike thats why I was confused between zma and p220 but after a lot of research I found that p220 is the one for me.

Better luck next time.

Yash, Hope you read conclusion of the report....here's the final words....page79....

......But all said and done, in 150cc segment on the marketing front Pulsar 150DTSi kicked off Hero Honda Hunk, but in the core biking (by which I mean quality, handling and reliability) Hunk kicked off Pulsar.......

....read on the next few sentences once again on page79 and 80

Please thank me for two congo's I wished you ?!!

That was the comparison between p150 and hh hunk, dont go off the topic. You asked for the refrence and now you have been given. I wanted to prove that Bajaj Pulsar indeed has dominant presence in number of countries, reasonal sales in plenty of countries with great fan following worldwide which makes it a world class product. World Class doesnt mean world's best but among the best. Is there any question to the fact that pulsars are one of the best selling bikes in the world under 250 cc segment ?? They may not be the best but are definately among the best. People were then joking when Pulsar 150 was launched against the super star CBZ in 2005. CBZ was the dream of every Indian biker. Where is CBZ now??

I admit zma sells much more than p220 and there were 3 very important reasons for this :

1. Price : P220 dtsfi was priced approx 90K on road (del) whereas zma was availble at 73-75k, performance lover and price contious poeople got an obvious choice - zma.

2. Looks : There isn no doubt p220 is one of the hottest beast on the road. Wide rear tyres, wolf shaped front lights, awesome built silencer but rear view was still the same. Most of the people thought that if they buy p220 at 90k they'll still be lost in the ocean of pulsars on the road. Rear view of p220 didnt excite them. This further added to their doubt.

3. Glamour trademark : ZMA was advertised by Hrthik Roshan where as p220 had no one. Belive it ot not but people do choose products if their favourate celebrity is endorsing them.

Now, the situation has changed a lot :

1. Termination of FI technology brought the price down by a good 15K and now its priced at par with zma.

2. Though the rear is still the same but its exclusive silencer combined with dtsi technology may help pulling the crowd

3. "Slow Jack" has proved his mark. No need of any celebrity.

Listen mate, no hard feelings. I have nothing to do with Bajaj. Infact I was very much illitrate about all these things 1 week before. But there is no harm in understanding the real issues by keeping our ego asides. ZMA is still the best when it comes to comfort but sometimes there are different priorities which make us take different decesions. I will however, choose p220 over zma anytime.

Oops how did i miss it, thank yo very much

Oops how did i miss it, thank you very much

@yash.rsa congrats on choosing the fastest indian
& for p220 the competition is not even on the same planet
