The premium biking segment in India is seeing some action. Though the action is far from what we would have liked to see. The recently launched Apache 180 is very promising but the new Pulsar 220 has taken everyone’s attention from TVS to Bajaj. Bajaj did feel the heat from other bike manufacturers had thus had no option but to pull something out of the box. They has priced the Pulsar 220 very well but will the new Pulsar 220 be the king of the performance biking segment?
Bajaj Pulsar 220 DTSi
For - Top speed, looks, price
Against - From the rear people might think your riding a Pulsar 180, quality, refinement
Verdict - Bajaj needs to differentiate its top end bike with other bikes from its segment, more power would have done wonders
Yamaha YZF-R15
For - Super handling, R1 tech, braking
Against - Small size, puny tires, price
Verdict - Yamaha could have given the R15 more power, racing kits on their way
Hero Honda Karizma R
For - Quality, service, reliability
Against - Other than new stickers this bike has not been updated since a long time now.
Verdict - Hero Honda need to get up and smell the coffee. They need to upgrade the Karizma with new features and more power.

R15 is the best. 150cc is the winner of the overall. It actually has the highest top speed which is 144kmp/h. Engine is reliable & Fuel efficiency is the best. Weights lesser than the others. Handling is unbeatable, but it has a skinny tyres which gives a nervous feeling. This international product would not be beaten up by the desy company.

if u want a quality bike go for yamaha r15 coz of its looks ,handling .I owe a pulsar 220 and it is like a trash ,its average is about15-20 and it has been problematic since 1 year.so go for r15
April 12, 2011 at 11:37 am
i hope people don’t get fooled by pulsar 220 being mentioned the fastest among the three…i have owned both pulsar 220 and r15 and would say r15 totally lies in a superior class….speed increment from 90kmph+ takes a lot more time in pulsar than in r15…r15′s handling is outdoes every indian bike…braking is tighter than pulsar 220…r15 is a lot easier bike to control than pulsar 220 when you’re at 75kmph+ speed…….bajaj mentions 144kmph to be pulsar 220′s topspeed….but i haven’t gained more than 132……while i’ve gained 154 kmph in r15 with a small engine modification [racing issue]….also bajaj keeps 220′s mileage at 30-35 kmph..whereas r15′s mileage is at 40-45kmph……..though slightly expensive…r15 is a lot lot better bike than the two…..and personally i think pulsar is better than karizma zmr..
April 13, 2011 at 10:47 am
who told Aashish Niroula that pulsar is better then karizma zmr ??? pulsar really ***** man in all the aspects.. then r15 .. who bother about that toy ??? so ma conclusion zmr is the real king .. r15 good.. and pulsur really **** n ****kkkkkkkkk

pulasar is the real king of bikes in india.
as i ride all the bikes in all type ares like plains, hills, highway, traffic etc. and only bajaj pulsar gives you a long time ride than any other bikes like R15, ZMR. apache etc,. it takes only 6 sec from 0-60 which is lowest than any other bike in india.
