Hi buddy this is an update of my review and my experience earlier I posted my reviwe on Dec 02, 2008 04:04 PM .
. this is the first time im doin any review about my BIKE. I had to wait for almost 2 months for this BIKE. I made d bookin on 24th july07 and I got it on 26th sept07 atKHIVRAJ showroom banglore.. till now I did 10667kms dated 2nd december2008. it has been an awsome experience for me to ride P22O I previously did bikin on my legendary YEZDI CLASSIC(MORE RESPECT DAN P220).. not a single accident happened till nw. let me start this frm first look I fell in love wit its looks wen I saw it for the first time impressive HOODED PREDATOR FAIRING and wide TYRES turned me on and d colour wasBLACK. after finishing off d formalities the showroom prerso wen I took P220for d first time every1 around turned towards me and they asked each and everything abt bike's cost, mileage, cc etc I had to tell them everythig I kno abt this bike. soon I felt like a celebrity as I was the first guy to have it in my area and my college. it was a beautiful experience for me.
*220cc,

HOODED PREDATOR FAIRING,

WIDEST tyre P22O
HOODED PREDATOR FAIRING
DUAL DISCS,
FUEL INJECTION,
TANK PAD,
DIGITAL CONSOLE,
LED TAIL LIGHT,
bright HEAD LAMP,
high performance front SHOCKS,
no KICK START.
OIL COOLED ENGINE.. these r the features which makes P220 to stand at a higher place than any bike frm india. BEATEN UP RD350 every one says dat its impossible to beat RD350 but I did it . on may 1st while coming back frm a short trip to SANGAM around 100km frm my place. Me wit a pillon rider on my P220(i was ridind d bike) were at around 65kmph and soon one guy wit a pillon rider on RD overtook me and invited me for a race . I went on till 87kmph on 4th gear and I shifted to 5th gearand I crossed 120kmphspeed leaving RD some kilometers behind. MAINTENANCE I do agree dat its maintenance cost is high. for first four service the bill was around 300-400rs but 5th service charges went upto800+
* THINGS TO REMEMBER never ever go for an engine covering(guard) as the temp of engine goes up drastically.
never ever let the oil drops into rear disc brakes.
dont play with the wirings of this bike.
dont let ur bike in the rain for longer period bcoz of split seats the rain water enters into d bike and the
electric wirings gets disturbed and bike wont start(i had personal experience of this thing).
using high beam for longer period cracks the headlamp cover( my personal experience).
*MILEAGE
as mileage is a gr8 concern for indians P220 gives a decent 42-45kmphharsh driving35-42
HANDLING
trust me I banged R15 at every corner of d drag race v did on d road. larger discs and decent weight adds to total comfort riding grip onindian roads. take good care ofFORK.
PROBLEMS
maintaining BAJAJ LOGO'S & stickers is a big headace for me as the whole set costs around2000rs..
in d mirrors I can only see my biceps and its useless.
fairing vibrations is high.
back disc brakes makes "squeeeeeeeeakkkkkkkk"" kinda sounds.
indicatorsis not upto mark.
mis firing happens after every3000kms..
little bit engine vibrations.
last but not the least " I LOVE MY BIKE LIKE ANYTHING" GR8 ENGINEERING AND GR8 THINGS HAPPENS ONES IN D LIFETIME. again I fell in love wit its awsome THROTTLE response(much much better compared toYEZDI).
as I was in my native place for more than two months . therefore I just rode this vehicle for only **2000kms.
my experience now after owning it for almost 1.5 years as I earlier mentioned the date also.
in the last month only I experienced missssfiring and engine choking at 8000rpm. when I went to PBK they insisted on changing theengine coil(present at the left side of the engine near gear box) that almost toook 2days time as this was their first encounter of the coil choking. now I got a new coil installed . I really say that 5years of engine warranty plays a vital role for P220.
and now the mileage is giving around 40-45 city. better go for SHELL petrol bunk bcoz their only u get pure petrol.
fill the tires with nitrogen(now available at HP bunks) this will keep the tires cool and the nitrogen helps in retaining the tyre pressure for almost s.6month. u'll have a good mileage overalll.
