This is my first review ever.....so if it has some turn offs........pls regret...
Styling
On the first look of the bike, it looked like a cheetah ready to pounce on me. The head lamp is designed in such a way that it adds a life to the bikeAbout my new 220........it is cool, awesome nd powerful...more powerful dan I imagine......at d first impression.......i looks like a big bike unlike R15 & Fazer. I am a die hard Yamaha fan 7 been planning 2 buy r15 ever since it has launched here. but aftr riding d R15 I felt dat its not a bike 4 me Pickup, aggressive looks, Pulsar branding all makes me decide 2 go 4 d Fastest Indian most of d sites telling dat it returns 40kmlp......but still I never got a mileage not even neat 2 dat......d bike is giving me 31km-pl mileage till date now m comparing it 2 other bikeAnd then Bajaj launched the Pulsar 220 DTSi which they proclaimed to be the ‘Fastest Indian’. At an on-road price of around Rs 80, 000, it seemed pretty inviting. For a few thousand more, I could now get a liquid cooled engine, rear disc brake, split seats, clip-on handle bars, split grab rails, a tank pad, large tubeless tyres, great pick up and top speed – quite a list!
night riding is so superb in dis bike both high 7 low beam serve me day light at night though I dont like night driving...
Handling
The thing dat I don’t like in dis bike is its handling...its low turning radius will cause a chaos in d city...its too much tough when u are going through a narrow or a busy street.......d rear disk breaks sure make u panic in d look.....but it doesn’t even work like a drum break...
Performance
in d performance side..its a clean winner with no turn outs......d engine is smoother @ high speeds.....dis bike straight line stability is superb......u can touch a top notch of 145 in a less traffic highway....and can go a bit further if u try harderinitial pulling is similar 2 a 2-stroke bike(a bit) and u can feel it only when a pillion is trying hard to stay on d bike when u push d bike harder.....its really great bike at high speed...
comparison*
On comparison, it is clearly visible dat it is d cheapest and fastest in its class.......sure its a value 4 money bike.big bike 4 less money........ isn’t dat cool.................................
