Reviews of Bajaj Pulsar 220 F

I am the proud owner of the Pulsar 220F BS3 2014 model. I have done about 60000 km in this machine and man what a wonderful machine this is. True to its legacy.
Here is my experience of owning it for about 9 years.
1. I have test-ridden all the bikes from 150-250 cc available during 2014. Zeroed down to the 220.
2. Riding experience was so good that it never made me feel to upgrade to date. Obviously, I will have to upgrade considering the bike's age and the market.
3. In the looks department I wouldn't hesitate a bit to say that it aged really well. It still sells as of today. The market speaks for itself.
4. Servicing and maintenance is the least to bother experience. The maintenance schedule as per the manufacturers' recommendation is more than enough. Even if you miss the periodic maintenance here and there, no problem the machine is built to last. I never faced any major breakdown till now remember it does not come with a kick start.
Pros:
1. I have taken my bike for rides too 2000 km was the longest I have done. Many short rides too. It is a gem of a bike that you can daily commute and take for rides with friends.
2. Low maintenance and good service network. It's a bajaj.
3. Excellent design that ages pretty well.
4. It is the longest-selling bike in its category with no major changes. So no need to worry about the spare parts.
5. The existing 5-speed gearing ratio is excellent for city rides. You can pick up even in 4th & 5th gear from a standstill.
Cons:
1. Sometimes feels like a need for 6th gear in high speed.
2. The front fairing is a pain to disassemble. A more user-friendly bolting system would have been good.
3. A 25bhp instead of 20bhp power would have been more viable in this machine.

About the Reviewer

Bajaj Pulsar 220 has good pick up as well as gives a sporty look. can be used anywhere in local areas as well as on highways. I will have a good experience with this bike. Looks stylish in all colors, especially in black color. You need to do service once every six months and enjoy your ride and change the engine oil every 3000 km.

About the Reviewer

The buying experience wasn't that great as in India most Indian bike dealers are just in a hurry to sell the bike rather than making an occasion of celebration for the buyer.
I had multiple rides on my bike specially the LADAKH TRIP last year, boy o boy the bike didn't hesitate even for a second on the whole ride which included all high altitude passes like Zojila, khardung la, Umling La & the special one Tang Lang La. One thing that made this ride even smoother was the engine oil which I switched from the regular Bajaj engine oil Motul 7100 10w50.
No doubt it's a sexy-looking machine and was a dream for me when I was in School, just a few modifications like a bubble visor, and adv engine guard are the cherry on the top. Comfortable cruising speed is around 90kmph and one thing to note I haven't faced a single breakdown on any ride to date not even a puncture on the ride.
Being an Indian brand service cost is always a reason for a smile the regular service is not going to cost you more than 1500 rupees which even includes your brake pads and other small parts.
The bike is definitely an amazing machine with a comfortable seating posture for long rides and enough power for quick overtakes in city rides and highways. can't expect more than this from a 220 CC bike of this budget but still the vibration in foot pegs around 90+ kmph speed is a little concerning which was sorted to some extent after I switched the engine oil and definitely this bike misses out on the sixth gear on highway rides.

About the Reviewer

1. Buying experience was really good.
2. Riding experience is extremely good under this budget and suitable for all terrain.
3. The looks of the bike are impressive and timeless.
4. Very comfortable on long rides.
Cons:-
1. Missing 6th gear.
2. Rear View mirror is not useful.
3. Middle stand is too low, and that hits the ground sometimes.
4. Rear disc brake is pathetic and gets stuck and jams the tyre.
If you are thinking to buy this, I would suggest going with this machine compare to any other bike. It is called as a Legend Bike for a reason.

About the Reviewer

I purchased that bike only because of My wish.
I love Pulsar 220f that's why I buy that also I do not ride any bike that's why this is my first bike. Why I buy this bike because of looks very nice maintenance cost is very low means nothing. But if you a legend then you have to maintain like a legend.

About the Reviewer

I Love This Bike Too Much. 100% Performance Provide, Perfect Speed Ratio At City & Highway Bith, Too Much Produce Power When Climb Up To 55 Degrees. Good Performance & Never Dis-Oppointed This Bike, Buy & Fun To This Bike. In Offread Best Performance Provide, Lso Cornerring Is Tough To New Biker But A Continue Biker It's Easy To Turn.

About the Reviewer

Buying experience: actually I went to buy 150cc variant, but my eyes turned to the 220 cc model, on the spot I purchased
Riding experience: I bought in 2015, past 9 Years over 250000km ( heavy riding )
Servicing and maintenance: I changed the engine oil every 3000 Km on average
Just find some good bike servicing shop.

About the Reviewer

The bike is very nice, I'm using the 2016 model and it's giving 35 to 40 KMS mileage. For long riding, it's a good bike that will provide you comfort and a good experience. You've serviced your bike every 3000 KMS then it's given us good performance and mileage also. Don't use nitrogen for bike tires and that can affect your mileage also.

About the Reviewer

1.Good buying experience form the showroom.
2.Really the bike was amazing for the stunts and cornerings as well as
normal rides due to the weight distribution of the bike gives more
confidence and more grip to the road while riding it.
3. The looks are old but it's a gold it never get old for us and the
performance of the bike was the top speed I went is 139 kmph . And the
stability is superb.
4. The maintenance is very low comparing to other bikes with 200 cc
segment .As well as the servicing cost is also not more it's pretty good
for the middle class people who can maintain this.
5. Pros:
Nice and stylish.
Nice milage with more power.
Excellent comfort for long drives.
Cons :
Need to get the slippers clutch.
Need to get the aluminium swing arm.
Need to get traction control for nice riding experiance.
Need to get a attractive led display.
