What’s your craziest Pulsar 220F saved the day story?

Once my 220F literally saved a life. I used it to rush a snake bite victim to the hospital when the ambulance was delayed. It was the difference in the bike’s performance that made the difference.

Our bus broke down during a college trip. I went on multiple trips from my 220F into a town 50km away to get spare parts. It saved us from being stranded overnight.
Is the 2024 Pulsar 220F still relevant?

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.

Nah, it's way past its prime. Now you can get much more modern and feature packed bikes for the same price. The 220F feels outdated in comparison.

It’s relevant for a specific audience. It will still serve new riders looking for a reliable, no nonsense tourer. Tech savvy riders might find it lacking, though.

I feel that Bajaj should give it a major update instead of discontinuing it. Modernize them while keeping the core DNA and add some features.

The 220F is the AK-47 of bikes. Simple, effective, and it gets the job done. Not every one needs or wants fancy electronics on their ride.

It’s still relevant but it’s overpriced for what it offers. It would be a no brainer for many buyers, if Bajaj dropped the price by 20-30k.

In fact, the lack of updates is a good thing. That means spare parts are easily available and mechanics know the bike inside out. Great for long-term ownership.

I’d seen a 220F with a sidecar once. He said he used it to take his dog on rides.

This guy had a 220F and he installed a car stereo system with speakers in custom built panniers. You could hear it a block away, it was that loud.

I saw one with faux fur wrapped all the way around the whole body. It was called by the owner his "bear bike". I looked ridiculous but I bet it was warm in winter!

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.

A 220F modded to look like a miniature Hayabusa had to be the weirdest one I've seen. The works: Custom fairings, extended swingarm, the works. It was... something.

Someone turned their 220F into a mobile chai stall. He has a custom sidecar with a stove and all. She makes a killing at bike meets!

I saw one 220F with airplane wings once. The owner said it enhanced high speed stability. I have my doubts...
Which one should I buy – Bajaj Pulsar 220F or Pulsar 180 DTSi?
02 January 2023 06:47
You should go for Bajaj Pulsar 220F instead of the 180 DTS-i as the bigger Pulsar is one of the most effective motorcycle that you can buy under INR 1 lakh. It comes with a powerful 220 cc engine producing 20.8 BHP at 8500 rpm and 19.12 Nm at 7000 rpm. It comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox and sprints from 0-100 kmph in just 10.5 seconds. Pulsar 220F weighs just 150 kg and claims a top speed of 134 kmph. The higher speeds are shown due to speedometer errors on the bike. It comes with a price tag of INR 91,200 (ex-showroom Delhi) for the 2017 model.

Should I buy Bajaj Pulsar 220F?
02 January 2023 06:46
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.
Why Bajaj Pulsar 220F does not have a 6th gear and single suspension at the back?
02 January 2023 06:45
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.
I am using a Bajaj Pulsar 220F.... The Bike is awesome but front mask vibrates.. how to fix it?
02 January 2023 06:43
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.
