As expected Bajaj will launch 2009 variant of its flagship product pulsar 220cc. Bajaj’s only fuel injected bike is due for a makeover for sometime. The new pulsar 220cc is claimed to have a top speed of 140kmph (the current one being 125kmph). An increase of few bhps would suffice to achieve this speed. CNBC TV18 also reports that the new pulsar 220cc will be aggressively priced closed to Rs70,000 (at a massive discount of Rs15,000 from the current one). But we suspect the report as it would erode the brand and resale value of pulsar like anything.
Apart from the engine change and price reduction (if true), the new pulsar 220cc will get contemporary black theme and carbon fibre diffuser.
