Bajaj auto has announced that they will phase out the Bajaj Pulsar 200 DTSi which was launched in early 2007. Bajaj recently launched Pulsar 220cc bike with a carbureted version which is priced near to Pulsar 200cc bike.

S. Sridhar, CEO (two-wheelers), Bajaj Auto, said, “The carbureted version of the new Pulsar 220, which has been launched, offers higher power and better performance at a much lesser price. So, continuing with the Pulsar 200 was not possible, as it was priced in the similar range. We wanted to offer the buyers a better bike at an affordable rate.”

The bike, however, is still available in select showrooms at the earlier price without any discounts. Some units of the Pulsar 200 are available with probiking dealers and there will be no more supply of the Pulsar 200 from Bajaj. The Pulsar 200 has a 198.8cc engine, which delivers 18 bhp power, while the Pulsar 220 has a 220cc engine, which generates 21.04 bhp of peak power. Although the new Pulsar 220 is heavier than the Pulsar 200 by five kg, at 150 kg, it is faster than the smaller sibling at 144 km/hour, as compared to 130 km/hour.

The company is bullish on the new Pulsar to spruce sales beyond the 48,062 units of the whole Pulsar range sold by it in June. Te Pulsar range contributes to about half the company’s monthly sales, but a bulk of the profitability. Currently, the company produces three models under the Pulsar brand — Pulsar 150, Pulsar 180 and Pulsar 220. All the three models have only recently gone through a face-lift labelled as the ‘2009 edition’.

Hello Friends,

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.

May be hope that new model of Pulsar 200 is near in future to be launched before Kawaski Ninja-250 launch (the 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 P220 comes around 78-79K onroad every where : The Fastest sexy Indian]

i.e.

In Pune,
P180 (Power:17 ps- 2009) comes around 69K ON ROAD. n
P220 (Power:21 ps- 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.

So new P200[with power 19.5 Ps,rear disk brake,wider tyres,monoshock] would be coming in near future/around corner(as Bajaj working with KTM[with above150-250 n higher bikes segment] 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)

Don't u think so guys..!!
