      Welcome Mahmat! please post your intro as well.

      i am a proud owner of a Pulsar 220 DTSi. I think its a great bike for everything - be it commuting, riding on twisties or off roading. the issues are there;

      - Intially had a carb problem - the float was getting stuck. Got that fixed .running fine now

      - Service centers are not the best. however if you know little about bikes, u can make sure they do a good job. you will have to work with (SC guys) them sorts.

      - Rear view mirrors are useless. I will see if i can jfix the Fazer's rearview mirrors but thats different. This is the biggest pasin point while riding as I have gotten used to looking in mirror while changing lanes etc.

        Personally i dont have the problems like Oil Leak or Front Fairing Vibrations in my bike.. Many ppl who had vibrations in the fairing, put up a double sided tape which solved the problem to an extent

        Yes, there is a problem with center stand ..it keeps on hitting high speed breakers...

        RVM is FINE for me atleast, not superb though Servicing is also not a problem in my City as there are few P220's here and they service my bike well

        Getting a mileage of 36-39 Totally Satisfied with this monster Go ahead and get The Fastest Indian

              Why not!?! Just go for it. It's the fastest Indian.

              But seriouslly the bike is great Value for money, looks amazing and aparently Bajaj have sorted a lot of the quality issues as compared to the older pulsars.

              I really love it's neo modern looks. And the old pulsar handling issues also have been aparently sorted. Get it be the fastest indian

                considering they have improved the bike in every sense and also the mouth watering price tag,it is a great buy...For that amount of money,you can't ask for more...go for it bro
