Bajaj launches the New Pulsar 220 DTSi “S”

Bajaj has launched the naked street fighter avatar of its premium model Pulsar 220 DTSi - the Pulsar 220 S.

The only Major difference between the Standard Pulsar 220 DTSi 'F' and the S version is that it gets rid of the Quarter Fairing. It has the Standard Bikini Fairing (with tank scoops) which is present in all the versions of the Pulsar.

The Rear End of the bike remains same. The Pulsar 220 S even has the same exhaust chamber as the older Pulsar 220 DTSi.

Personally, we @GediJunction like the older version of the P220 with the quarter fairing because it lends the bike a distinct image. The bike is a major head-turner only because of its quarter fairing. Otherwise the P220 S and the P150 look almost just the same. Another thing worth noticing here is that, the bike does not have the Projector headlamps available in the Older P220 DTSi 'F'.

However, this could definitely help Bajaj in cutting down the cost of the new bike by about a couple of grand which would lend it amazing Value for Money!

According to some sources, the bike costs Rs 78K (Ex Showroom, Bangalore). We'll confirm this bit and post the update.

Coming Soon - New ULC (Ultra Low Cost) Car from Bajaj-Nissan

The mileage of the car will be well above 20 kmpl but Bajaj will be targetting 30 kmpl. The JV sees people who need an upgrade from a 2 wheeler to 4 wheeler as prospective buyers so the main focus is on lowering the monthly cost of ownership. The car is expected to hit the roads in the year 2012.

Karizma or Pulsar 220 Dts Fi or Apache RTR ? CNBC Money Control Review Video

In this video the various experts from the automotive industry test out the Karizma, Pulsar 220 FI and the Apache on a proper Racing Track.

At the end of the test, each one of them have separate choices.

So, they agree to a race. Now in this race between these three bikes, the Karizma wins.

Now, personally, If I had to choose a bike between all of these (at the time when this test was conducted), I would also have chosen the Karizma. But I would do that only if the DTSi version of the Pulsar 220 had not been launched (without the FI).

Since Bajaj has launched the FI-less version of the Pulsar 220, and it is almost about the same price as Karizma, I’d have my money on the Pulsar 220, simply because of the additional features it has to offer at the same price. The pulsar 220 DTSi has -

• Split Grab Rails
• Comfortable Handle
• Split Seat
• Gas enhanced Suspension
• Fatter Tyres
• Projector Headlamps

So, if anyone wants to buy a bike in the 200+ cc catagory, Pulsar 220 DTSi is the best bet (=
