In addition, the intake port in the cylinder head has been modified, along with higher lift and duration cam. A larger resonator and catalytic convertor is also used to increase performance.

Aimed at the performance bikers who are looking for a thrilling ride experience, this bike comes with many power packed features – auto choke, clip-on handle bar, split seats, engine oil cooler, fuel and battery charge indicators, etc. It also uses temperature based ignition mapping system through which the ignition timing is optimized to acheive good startability, quick warm up and outstanding torque.

Finally I could afford to buy a p220
But thats a P220 which does not have Fi, the only thing which was really exclusive in the pulsar 220 compared to other pulsars.
I think they had problems with DELPHI in ECU transaction. So they are coming with BS32. Besides one more thing I noticed that they are coming with autochoke, hope the choke will work properly, because electronic choke always goes on toss.
Ummm oil cooler I am always obssesed with this part, because soon I will be working on oil cooler for more better performance. Which will be “Liquid Based Oil Cooler”..that might give me better efficiency.Wait & Watch…..
Dude thanks for P220 DTSI update…good work

“Wow super P220 is less than P200 what a Wonderful offer”
This is a big shame to bajaj market
the Honda cbf stunner pgm-fi is costlier by more than 15000. now that is ok because its a honda right?
bajaj just shaved off 10000 by removing the fuel injection and this raises doubts over its quality?
amusing to say the least.
honda fanboys can’t digest the fact there can a better product in the market. sad. lets accept that bajaj is doing a commendable job here
bajaj pulsar has got the powerfull engin in its class no doubt people r saying bla- bla about its quality but it is showing & proving itself on the road from last nine years . but now bajaj pulsar 220 dtsi that`s consist of 220cc engin with venturi carburettor biggest chember producing 20 bhp which is app. equals to bullet`s power & about torque that`s 19.2 nm @ rpm , auto chok, enhenced power, what else u want in a bike cost rs 74,260 on road delhi . goooooo for it & feel the power!!!!! best of luck

college students don’t take this one
quality is also ok
not satisfying
The only Bajaj product I’ve owned is an Avenger 180, which was terrible. The right-hand side of the bike vibrated enough to make my shoulder go numb after a hundred kilometres. Repeated visits to the dealer and calls and emails to Bajaj Auto produced no improvement, and, after a while, no response. The speedometer cable broke after 2000km and replacements kept breaking every 1000km or so. No response from the company or the dealer on this.
The maximum I ever did on that bike in one day was 350km, and that was enough to knock me out. After getting rid of the Avenger, I’ve done 550 km in one day on a CBZ-X, and 600km on a Thunderbird.
The point is that Bajaj products are no good if you’re into regular long-distance biking. They’re good for commuting and having a bit of fun but seriously poor quality for long-distance travel when you want to do 400+ a day.
can any1 tell me wer r gud bike stunt school in mumbai
