Clever, stylish, impressive and probably the most awaited bike for all those bike enthusiasts, the Bajaj Pulsar 220. The range of waiting started long back and had waited the people a long time, grabbing all those excitement and expectations and was launched one fine day, the day for the end of all those excitement, the day of judgment.
Power, Engine, Transmission and Mileage The Pulsar is a 4-stroke SOHC, 220cc DTS FI that is Digital Twin Spark Fuel Injection, oh and of course its electric start, but no kick start. Weird ain't it, we asked the guy in charge "whats happens if it stops and the electric start ain't working?" the answer i got was "push" you're on your own!! mostly there wont be any problems like that. Coming back to the bike. The engine produces a mind-blowing 20bhp and the maximum torque of 1.95kgm at 6500Rpm. Its technically India's most advanced bike.The transmission is a 6 speed - one down and rest up. This bike gets up to a top speed of about 130Kmph. This Pulsar can fly to 60kph in 4.4sec and keep on at 110kph in only 18.7sec. Oil cooler and Bajaj's exhausTEC advances in the 220cc. Its an animal i say!!Styling and FeaturesStyle is the word overall - The Bajaj 220cc is almost identical to the younger 200cc and the only major difference in looks is only the front faring that emerges out. I personally think that the Pulsar series has been aging really fast till now, and this model's might seem to go on and on, though the 200cc is more clean and shaped, these two words jump out of the 220cc because of the front fairing as it looks sticked with the help of fevicol. This is only from the side views, from the front its amazing though. If compared to the Karizma's styling, its far apart. Overall the looks are unbeliveable, impressive and amazing.The P220 has a great list than the competition(Karizma). Starting off with split seats, currently India's only one with it, along with the P200. The mirrors can be folded for fun and the digital display which includes fuel availability, speedometer, and all those necessary stuff but tachometer and LED tail lamp to add that sharp styling and safety of course. The silencer adds the shining finish and some people finds it disturbing. Who looks at all these when having fun?? the huge front fairing is not for nothing, but gives those huge headlights a home to give all those bright light and is said to be the best lights on any Indian bike. LEDs are used for the instruments, and also offer a mini compartment that can be released with a cable in the side.Performance, Handling and MileageThe Pulsar sounds great right from turning the key till riding in 130Kmph. The P220 handling is said to be quite good and thinks that it fells a tad better handled than the Karizma. That smooth riding quality comes within the refined engine and the mileage that they claimed is 50 and the rest comes within you and upto you whether you want a decent mileage by following the rules or a life full of fun by ripping them off and breaking the rules of getting better mileage, and should expect about 35-40kmpl, and a tank of 15L. The one down and rest up gets confusing in the beginning, but will catch up later though. The bike is surely fun to drive and will give the value for the money that compared to the Karizma.Overall:A total Fun Factor if you see, a great steal, great handling with a powerful engine and that awesome styling, and its Bajaj, who wouldn't want to buy one?? Two kinds of people buy this, people who have money and want some bike that will meet their factors, and the other who are soo crazy about it that they arrange the money and go for this beauty, if you cant reach it this high, the P200 is also a good buy.. go for one.

Bajaj of India intends to take on the Indonesian motorbike market.
Bajaj Auto Ltd, India’s second-largest motorcycle maker, yesterday introduced its flagship model, the high end Pulsar, into the $6 billion Indonesian motorbike market, and plans to spend around $50 million to set up factory and distribution facilities shortly. [1]
Bajaj Executive Director Sanjiv Bajaj said:
In the first phase, we will focus on customer satisfaction. The second phase would be to set up a local manufacturing facility and the third phase is to make Indonesia the hub for the Southeast Asian market.
First this, the Bajaj three wheeler.
The Bajaj brand is well known, almost infamous, in Indonesia due to the presence of thousands of the company’s three wheeler motorised rickshaws that noisily ply the streets of Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta. But Bajaj is now focusing on the upper end of the motorbike market. Says Sanjiv: [2]
These will be high-end bikes, in the range of Pulsar and higher engine capacities.
Now this, the 180cc Bajaj Pulsar.
K S Grihapathy, head of PT Bajaj Auto Indonesia, said the company initially aimed to sell 100,000 motorbikes in Indonesia in two years. The company was formed as a joint venture with financial consultancy group Boentaro, which holds five per cent.
Not yet sighted, Bajaj Goods Carrier.
It is intended that the Bajaj bikes produced in Indonesia will be completely knocked down kits (CKD’s) in the beginning with just the assembly being done locally. Later the company will source bulk components locally while still importing critical components from India.

Bajaj must give something new to Indonesia’s market, because Indonesia’s market already has Honda Tiger, Suzuki Thunder, Yamaha Scorpio, and Kawazaki Ninja RR. What will Bajaj give to Indonesia’s market which is different from other motorcyle factory ( Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha and Kawazaki ) ?

I hope the specifications of this new bike will require a higher level of intelligence, considering the number of bike riders in Indonesia that easily know how to handle ‘the normal bike’ and tend not to abide to traffic regulations. At least try to bring a new face to motorbicyclists in Indonesia
