  • Everyone,
    Thank you for letting me try out your bikes yesterday and for helping me make a decision. As suggested I got my wife to sit on the pillion seat of all the bikes...
    She had a big NO for the Ninja 250 seat As expected.. Vishwas sir had already said that..
    CBR250..she was OK with it.. until she tried the Pulsar 220F and just plainly said yes... Test rode it and found it pretty good. It was smoooth.. seemed to have great torque in all gears.. more than enough power for its weight..
    Quite a different choice from what I was considering I know... but..
    I had no choice but to go for the Pulsar 220. So booked one today and got the delivery within 45 mins with teflon coating done..
    So here are a couple of my bike's pics...
    Thanks to all at G2G yesterday!

    Very True- "Motorcycling is not, of itself, inherently dangerous. It is, however, extremely unforgiving of inattention, ignorance, incompetence, or stupidity."

    I like- "Bikes are not supposed to be a rational decision. If you can park it and walk away without looking back to admire it, you got the wrong one."

      My bike couldn't go above 8,000rpm so forget rattling and vibrating panels...

      I think this has been sorted out recently on the ride... Slow and steady increasing the accelerator...
      Ya but only when the fuel knob is in reserve position... in ON position the fuel just doesnt flow.... eshan's mods to the bike...

            Btw! The mumbai thread as you see it is actually its third iteration post the crash... a lot of it was lost.. There was a time when some old (and I mean really really old) chaps were very active there and I was the noob and was prone to leg pulling.

            • ^^ and now he is playing that role here !

              Anyone riding to mumbai tommorrow ??
              A very good and safe biker not only because he can pop up either of the wheels,scrape his knees on a corner or go fast and make it look stylish but because he very well knows his limits and capabilities and has the patience to learn about others and ride safe ! :)

                  Also my query of converting Shogun from AC to DC via the crank is still pending, can someone help me regarding the same.

                  Rather than buying from an international website which would take around 15days.. why not go for Ebay.in.. you can get it in within a weeks time...

                  check this Link out: Ebay

                  You can search for more sellers if you want.. Also I have one but it doesnt works out to be that good.. Its better to use rubbing polish on your paint to remove scratches than to use these kinds of product.

                  Still if you guys want you can try it out as it doesnt costs much..

                      Whoa! Really!! 45 minutes is all they needed to deliver their flagship bike?? Tell that to Hero Moto!! Congrats anyways, didn't expect you to go for the 220 when we were chatting yesterday! Wishing you a happy and long ownership experience

                        • @vkavadia Yes. Been reading the P220 thread ever since.

                          @antz.bin True..I wasn't really gonna go for the P220 But seemed like a practical choice. Also when your better half insists something..you really don't have a choice. Also thing is that they didn't install the speedo cable.. The showroom guy said that they face a problem during servicing as the kms are over and above the limit stipulated for the free servicing and he will fix it when I get my bike registered on Monday. I don't really understand the relation between all that he said. Will go and insist on getting it installed tomorrow. During run in what is the ideal rpm I should maintain or limit to?

                          @ RedFlash Thank you! I was amazed at how fast they delivered.. I booked, had a pizza nearby and they called saying the bike is ready for delivery.

                                guys as far as i know, its not allowed to run any vehicle without a valid registration number.. the limit is set to some 20 kms without the reg. no..
                                may be the showroom guy removed the cable for the same reason so that the bike running does not get counted..
                                they generally fix the cable once the bike gets registered..
