Nice post you have here.. the bajaj pulsar that came here in the philippines is on 200cc and they call it kawasaki rouser..

Copmpany claims 132...anyways I have confirmed from forums that 125+ is definitely possible.

@./clutch
Nice to hear that buddy.
BTW p220 DTSi is definitely not for those who need a fuel efficient bike !

Dude you seem to be a fan of pulsar...but atleast dont pass on wrong information...RTR's on road price is about 75k while that of pulsar is around 79k and that of fazer is 83k.
If you want a complete bike go for RTR. If you want just the power and top speed go for pulsar and if you want just looks go for fazer.But in my opinion here the best buy would be RTR.Its handling and power are uncomparable...
But finally it is your descision...good luck

Yamaha Fazer Top Speed is 132Km/hr as mentioned in the post [From maxabout]

and it's cost is ~65,000 [ex-showroom delhi - corrected in the post]

Apaache RTR 180s top speed is 125km/hr rather than 135 (just corrected in the post)

Back rest is not available in Pulsar 220 [also corrected]

Posted on December 1, 2009 at 2:01 PM

Listed price of pulsar and fazer is correct (acc. to ex-showroom delhi)

Here's the referece:
Bajaj Pulsar 220 [also top speed is correct]

TVS Apache

if you are seeking for the overall biking pleasure go for yamaha fazer
it has the greatest looks,admirable power,great stability on road.plus a nominal milage,and its tubeless india's fattest tyres gives a great road
grip and last but proud factor for yamaha is the monocross suspension its above all...
first i was having a zma it was more powerful than my new fazer but the fazer gives me much more satisfaction in each aspect than zma...

Posted on December 19, 2009 at 11:04 AM

are you out of your mind...fazer at 132.......Apache 180 beats fazer in evry condition man................

pulsar 220 neats every opponent bcoz it has 21 bhp,220 cc whereas all other are less yamaha fz,fazer cry to beat over 100 but pulsar can neat in seconds.pulsar 220 truly de fastest indian

Ive have Apache 180 ,nd got a new FAZER...Im very gud in races nd stunts....nd i think dat FAZER is the unbeatable bike with excellent road grip cause its having india's fastest tubeless tyres nd its initial pickup is awesome.......if u want sexy looks nd sportive nd minimal mileage go for "FAZER" its the best and its breaking is also extraordinary.....apache is after FAZER believe me nd it just matters about cost variatian btw dem nd YAMAHA is an international sports bike company whereas TVS is local branded...........!

RTR is best n FAZER in no way should be compared wid RTR n 220 coz its a touring bike where as RTR n 220 are sports bikes and Fazers top is 123km/hr n RTR 180 is 139km/hr n 220 is 153km/h !!!!!so mind it fazer is not to be compared wid 220 n 180 RTR until one lukz for de lukz of de bike where Fazer is de best i guess !!!

Pulsar 220 is rocket and Fazer is very slow, 220 is having rear disk break and excellent breaking whereas fazer is veryslow so need not such good breaking. fazer beats 220 in looks and monocross and mileage

i think fazer looks good ..but the seat is a problem. my true experience, last week me and my girl took a trip to wonderla , i stay at koramangala. by the time my girl and i reached wonderla , my girl started rubbing her ass badly and later found having a torn jeans..! it was a new jeans , the seat of fazer is bad . it tore her jeans. i later took her to an ass specialist . but i had good feel bout the bike. fazer is comfortable and neat for single rider.

Posted on March 30, 2010 at 12:46 AM

i think fazer is much much better than pulsar 220 accept power. bcoz after an year bajaj engine have a problem of chain set nd crate a loss noice... i dont trust the quality of bajaj....

yamaha's all fz series bikes sucks.all hv same specs.fazer is even more costlier than 220.its true top speed is only 115kmph.the bike sucks in every aspects.a complete waste of money.

Posted on April 21, 2010 at 11:29 PM

pulsar 220 is nothing in front of karizma r.it's all rubbish that pulsar 220 is the fastest indian.karizma r can easily beat pulsar 220 leaving behind pulsar 220 miles away.it's just for publicity that pulsar 220 is the fastest indian.

Posted on April 25, 2010 at 2:38 PM

i have fazer but the bull shit the it is better for one man only no double seat .....the top speed is 143 km/hr and the avrage is almost 42 km per hr best is pulsar 220 looks better and less cost and the best thing is that if u have the accident on fazer and on pulser the whole cost of repair of fazer is more and pulser is less if u want only looks then go for fazer .....bye

@Anonymous,
I don't understand y u r comparing 153cc bike with 220cc bike. Cost has nothing to with performance. Each brand has set there own standards. Bajaj is local brand not international. Now "Yamaha Sucks" let me tell you Bajaj has altered there so called pulsarrrrr.. n no of times, ans still people like you are comparing p220cc with fazer 153cc can i ask y..... Dude look at the specification, how much big big jargon tech. has showed by Bajaj but actually performance is like 153cc Yamaha engine. And even if we consider p220 giving more performance than fazer then also it it illogical to compare 220cc/18 Ps / 13.25 Kw at 8000 rpm machine with 153cc/14PS / 7500 rpm machine.
And still if u r comparing then definitely Fazer is meeting the gaols.
Dude go and brush your views before commenting any bull shit
I will suggest you go ride it once then you will see the difference.
"Baap baap hota hai aur beta beta"

Bajaj nowhere stands on front of YAMAHA/HONDA

@Sunny
Sunny u r true my friend, people don't look at the quality.
Now check the comment by @Balaji "Bull shit"
"the top speed is 143 km/hr and the avrage is almost 42 km per hr best is pulsar 220 looks better and less cost"
Pulsar p220 on road cost is around 85k-90k. Bahishab ne 143 touch kiya konse engine ke sath 153cc. Aur bol rahe 220cc best hai.
Pillion for both bikes are at equal stage. But if you consider driver comfort fazer is best

Posted on May 29, 2010 at 12:41 PM

i think pulsar 220 is best bike in india, because it attract everyone when compared fazer. and mileage also ok. and pick is very high when driving in hills station. so buy the pulsar 220. don't confuse.

JUSt my views..

Fazer has got Killer looks .The ride stability is awesome.U ud realise wen u drive in a heavy traffic.
And it hits 115kmph very easily...I have touched 122 max till date..But again NOT with a full throttle...
Mileage is decent.averaging around 43 ..
COST is quite high though.. But am contended.

And to any prospective buyer.. R15 is THE bike.. IF u can shell out 20K more..

hi bikers
in the range of 150 cc bikes, FAZER is the best, with attractive looks,very comfortable also.

hii.....Biker's.....
i've already rided all the three but to tell you that.....all three are totally different types of bike....
Pulsar 220: it bet on it ,,,best in speed,,pick up,,,and a descent avg. but the avg. handling(top speed i reached :155 kmph,avg:35-40)

Fazer: Fazer is a True Riding comfort and glamor but it really lacks in power...(top speed i reached: 115 kmph avg:30-35)

Apache RTR 180: i must tell TVS has made a mean machine it has all the power the pick up....and the sound...it roars......
(top speed:143kmph still throttel left.... avg:35-40)

Lol! Obviously the "rich boy" is a fake wannabe! Who brags about owning a few low CC bikes anyway?? Damn man, I know guys in Singapore who own Hayabusas AND Ducatis (and each of these bikes cost more than the Pulsar, RTR and Fazer combined!). Now those are rich (and lucky!) bastards!

Anyway, me, I have only an RTR and I love it because it suits my needs. The best bike choice is really what you feel suits you and what you feel comfy riding. Do your research, test ride, pick one, and be happy!
