Hey
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 Indianmost 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 im 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
