Bajaj Auto has finally launched the much awaited 2009 edition Pulsar 220. The Bajaj Pulsar 220 is priced at Rs. 70,000/- (ex-showroom, Delhi) making it Rs. 15,000/- cheaper than the old FI version bike and very attractive infront of the Yamaha FZ16 and TVS Apache 180.

Bajaj Auto has officially discontinued the Bajaj Pulsar 220(old model). The bike is missing from the company’s website and dealers have stopped receiving the prices for the model. The company gave the bike a cosmetic upgrade in July 2021 by introducing the Dagger Edge Edition. With the Pulsar 220(old model) discontinued, what’s the alternative? Potential buyers can consider the newly launched Pulsar F250 which is available at Rs 1.41 lakh. The Pulsar 220(old), for reference, was available at Rs 75,000 before it was discontinued.

Despite its age, the Bajaj Pulsar 220F continues to be in demand, with customers still appreciating its power and design. The bike has become an iconic model in the Pulsar family, and its sales remain robust even with newer models available. I believe its enduring popularity is a testament to Bajajs ability to create a bike that resonates with Indian riders.

Over the years, owners of the Bajaj Pulsar 220F have reported mixed experiences with reliability, particularly on long-distance trips. Some owners have noted issues with the chassis and the need for frequent maintenance, although Bajaj has made improvements through trial and error corrections. I think while its not perfect, the bikes performance and design make it worth the occasional hassle.

The Bajaj Pulsar 220F, even in its older models, was renowned for its performance, being considered the fastest Indian motorcycle for a long time. It boasted a 220 cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine producing around 20 bhp of power and 18.55 Nm of torque. This made it a benchmark for testing the performance of other bikes in its segment. I believe this level of performance was a significant factor in its enduring popularity.

In terms of design, the older Bajaj Pulsar 220F stood out with its muscular semi-fairing and modern features like projector headlamps and LED taillamps, which were unprecedented in Indian bikes at the time. The bikes design was ahead of its time, making it a favorite among motorcycle enthusiasts. I think the blend of style and functionality contributed greatly to its success.

The pricing of the Bajaj Pulsar 220F was another key factor in its success. Initially launched at a price below Rs 1 lakh (ex-showroom), it offered exceptional value for money. Even with the price increase due to BS6 regulations, it remains competitive in its segment. I believe the balance between performance, design, and pricing made it a hard-to-beat option for many buyers.
