Trying Sach Pass on my 220F was my craziest trip. However, it’s not really built for such terrain, but with some skillful riding we managed. It was worth the struggle to get the views!

Be something simple and reliable as the 220F, but with modern touches. Maybe add traction control, LED lights all around and even a single cylinder 400cc engine. Just solid performance, don’t need fancy electronics.

I once used my 220F to escape a flash flood. But my future was still on the water, and the bike’s ground clearance and its reliable engine brought it through without incident, while other vehicles were stranded.

Absolutely! The 220F is a timeless classic. It’s not going to have all the bells and whistles of a newer bike, but it’s got character and reliability that’s hard to beat. It's been 7 years since I own mine and it is still running like a champ.

My city has someone who converted their 220F into a snow bike by replacing the rear wheel with a track and putting skis on the front. Totally impractical but cool as heck.

Hello Sidharth, the AS200 has not actually failed from the performance perspective while the low sales number is the reason to bring the failure tag close to it. The Pulsar 220F is a great motorcycle for sure but its typical rear half section feels outdated for a motorcycle of this class. If faired is your first choice, you only have the choice between Pulsar AS200, 220F, Yamaha Fazer and Suzuki Gixxer under INR 1 lakh. Lack of option and least difference between the prices of 150 cc others and 220 cc Pulsar makes it the clear winner out of all. However, the KTM sourced 199.5 cc motor is more refined and uses more technology on the AS200. If you plan to keep your bike with you for next 4-5 few years, do consider your favorite instead of going over low market value and resale prices.

Bajaj Pulsar 220F belongs to an old generation of motorcycles which were fitted with a a 5-speed gearbox and the use of 6-speed gearbox as well as monoshock was limited to expensive bikes. If Bajaj would have updated the same with technologies like fuel injection and others, the motorcycle would have costed around 1,25,000 at that time. Now they cannot do the same as it will cannibalize the sales of higher variants like AS200 and RS200. If someone wants loads of technology, RS200 is the option while if brute power is the need, Pulsar 220F manages it well.

Pulsar 220F is an excellent motorcycle and its semi faired design sometimes irritates the rider with its rattling sound. It happens when the screws get loose and this happens most of the times when they are tightened after a regular service. You can ask the person who services your bike to tighten all the screws and end the problem. Sometimes, red-lining the bike creates a lot of vibration throughout the body and results in a temporary rattle of the body. This cannot be corrected as there would be no noise till 6,000 rpm, post which the bike produces extra ordinary vibrations.

Your friends are right about the Pulsar. It has speed. It is cheaper to maintain.
But Royal Enfield is not about speed, maintenance or stunts on the road. It's about personality, it's about the attitude, it's about brotherhood among RE fans. It's about being royal on the road.
Give it a test drive bro and decide yourself.
