Bajaj Auto had announced a launch of new bike every month for the first six months of 2009. After the January debut of the XCD135, no motorcycle was launched in February. However, Bajaj did unveil three variants of the Pulsar 200 at a Probiking showroom in Pune. The bikes were displayed for the enthusiasts to choose the best option among the three. This was done as the company planned to finalize the facelifted version of the Pulsar 200 based on this survey.
All three variants sported the engine from the current Pulsar 200 DTS-i with the motor tuned to produce a maximum power of 19PS as against 18PS in the current model. Apart from the slight increase of power, the bikes had a lot of visual variation. The first bike was fitted with clip-on handlebars, a rear disc brake and bigger front forks – all borrowed from the Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi. This upgrade definitely looked promising with the street fighter character of the bike being upped with some really useful bits. The second variant was a ditto copy of the P220 except that this one sported an all-black engine and alloys. The bike sported the P220’s fairing as an addition apart from the front forks, rear disc and clip-on handlebars. The quarter fairing provided on the bike seemed to kill the urban fighter image of the P200. The third variant was similar to the second without the rear disc brake.
Apart from the Pulsar 200, the showroom guys also said that a facelifted version of the P180 will hit the market which will sport the looks of the current P200. The Pulsar 220 is expected to be launched with a better tuned engine and a slight increase in power plus an all-black treatment to the engine and the alloys. Survey officials said that Bajaj was planning a price tag of Rs 77,000 (approx. OTR, Pune) for the first P200 variant. The variant which was an exact copy of the P220 may debut at a price of Rs 79,000 (approx. OTR, Pune).

Soul u frm Mumbai ?? Paras I have also booked a red Pulsar 220, its been soo many days that the colour has faded from my mind, how does red look ?????? Sporty than black ??
And Paras on 7th July you booked a black 220 then how did u go for a red.
Back on guys after so long.
Here are the updates on P200.check out this guys.
http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/bajaj-phases-out-pulsar-200/364079/
May be hope that new model of Pulsar 200 is near in future to be launched before Ninja-250 launch (September-October launch) or after 2-3 months later of launch of Ninja.
However it would take,still min 2-3 months more to come see new news on new P200 model.since P220 has been launched just now on 23rd June 2009
May be Bajaj has planned to launch new Pulsar 200 as per design taken from P300 available details,with mono shock.No doubt one is without Fi(DTS-i)so can come around price of 74-74.5K on road and other with Fi version along with Fi version of 220cc.
[Right now P180(launched on 23rd april 2009) comes around 69K on road which is carbon copy of P200 with extra clip on handlebars,wider forks(taken fro m220) goodies with Battery indicator.only P200 silencer is not provided n so oil cooled.anyway Great / awesome bike n move by Bajaj.
N P200 comes around 78-79K onroad every where : The Fastest sexy Indian]
In Nasik Pulsar 220 is priced at Rs.78000 on road and Pulsar 180 at 75000, the difference is only of 3000 Rs. there is no scope for Pulsar 200. Pulsar 200 has been phased out.
@ nilesh ….
the source which you have given is utter crap
now let me show you what bajaj officials have said about the so called 200 !!!
http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/bajaj-phases-out-pulsar-200/364079/
@ Raj Anand
In Pune,
P180 (2009) comes around 69K ON ROAD. n
P220 (2009) comes around 78K ON ROAD.
so there is still scope for “New Pulsar 200″ could be launched(with new design as I said) around price tag of 74K-74.5K ON ROAD.
u need to check with your spec met about price tag of P180.
In last week only my Brother has purchased “new P180 2009″.
one thing you all keep in mind that Bajaj has killed intentionally current face lifted n most salable bike of Bajaj P200 model, to save the life of P150 n P180 by giving mainly looks of P200, with some advanced feature that comes from P200/P220 respectively.
So new P200[with power 19.5 Ps,rear disk brake,wider tyres,monoshock] would be coming in near future(as Bajaj working with KTM on it)once the sales figure of P180 n P220 are reached to PEAK.
[especially with/after launch of other companies models like karizmaZMR225/yamaha180-200/apache200 to compete with them and not with it’s current 2009 Own pulsar models)
Do u agree with me guys? I think will be definitely.
@ nilesh

I have got official news from bajaj about p200 which is posted in my previous comments … when the marketing head says p200 phased out … where in the blue world you get p200 ??? accept the fact , that you are jobless and confusing ppl ard …. !!!

HEY FAS has the new 220 started selling in Mumbai, I have booked red 220 on 26th June (Nasik Prob) nearly one month ago and I am bored of waiting for my bike to come in my hands. Why such a long delay ????
Raj, Mumbai delivers doesn’t seem to have started. I went to probiking showroom today and there was just one bike in the whole showroom. Just one bike, the old P220.
bike is really amazing . probiking guys said up to 2 nd service the bike speed should not exceed 50 kmph . its very tough job to make this fastest indian bike to maintain beloe 50 with out any efforts it crossing 60. and soul_collector , its 27 km when i took the bike. and i have not noticed the problem u mentioned.
hey guys a noise comes from rear disk brakes of my new p220 i bought 2 days ago……………its like gghhhooonnnnnn when ever i apply them!!!!
the dealer said its not a serious prblm to worry abt………….it might be due to dust as there is space between the the brake and tyres!!!!!please help me guys
Paras, thats normal, all Pulsar 220s have that problem. Bajaj is not so good at making rear discs yet.
guys p220 comes at an on road price of 74k in delhi and 73k in chandigarh, way lesser than 78k in nasik and mumbai, may be one being the capital and other being a ut gives them the edge.
hey fas can u tell a possible solution for this plz????
Paras, there is no solution for it yet. Bajaj needs to resolve the issue and than recall all Pulsar 220s.
@paras
hey paras dont worry about the rear disk break’s sounds.its ok. because rear disk brake faces more dust particle as compare to front brake,,the open chain clearly causes the more dust to be stick on rear disk,,,so dont worry n njoy ur ride
If ur a normal rider then Bajaj is a best choice otherwise YAMAHA R15 and HERO HONDA KARIZMA are the beasts who can handle ur full throttle
Hey guys i booked my ride today but guy is not clear about delivery,Do anyone know when deliveries will start in Mumbai??????????????
Please let me know????????
hey shunjaruf any solution for it mate????
pulsar 220 is awesome.but it find difficulty in sharp turnings.my byk is 2000 model cbz.good condition.but im thinking about to change my bike.in my choice there is yamaha fazer & p220.which sud i target???????pls any one help me.& state the reason also pls……..
hey guyssssss……!plz help
wch byk is gud in avg wise, looks wise, n performance wise out of pulsar 150, yamaha Fzs, stunnerFI, apache 160 rtr, HH hunk….!
well avg wid looks is mah top priority….!
thanxxX
Raman, since your looking for looks and average, you should get the CBF Stunner FI. It looks very good and gives the best mileage of the lot but its overpriced.
1) Yamaha Fazer
2) Pulsar 150
3) Pulsar 180 compromise on average a bit.
nichu,
Go for pulsar 220 dtsi
your friend gokul already have a FZ 16 so you can ride 2 different bikes back to back.
