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.
