Bajaj Pulsar 220 F [2022] price in Mumbai

I got my pulsar 220f from my friend who had purchased it in the very first lot of launch in mumbai in 2010. It is silver colour which is nonstd & paid extra. My friend hardly used it say about 9000 kms in 3 yrs. I had a eye on his bike & one fine day in 2013, I offered to buy & he agreed. So I am owning the bike since then till date. I just don't want to give it up even after 9 years of riding it. I keep it in very good condition being a bike-loving, parsi bawaji!!! the bike, I tell you is superbly maintenance-free. And the best thing about bajaj is that the availability of the spare is so good & unlike other bikes, the original spares are so reasonably priced by the company, that there are no manufacturers of duplicate/spurious spares for bajaj in the market. So since parts are always original so no performance deterioration. All pulsar bikes are designed for comfortable riding & superb handling & believe me, on mumbai roads my bike has overridden so many times on potholes, not once did my bike make me aware of losing my balance nor has it fallen off. So it's the safest bike I know. I had owned jawa, bullet 350 & pulsar 200 previously & they all were maintained properly. But i would rate 220f as my best. I had been on long drives with a pillion from mumbai to ahmedabad, baroda, surat, dahanu, pune & not once did my engine stall due to overheating. The periodic specific kms change in oil keeps the engine in top condition. And the amazing dual spark plug ignition system hasn't failed once even in the coldest environment, save once when my battery had run down when I had gone on long leave. This is an ideal bike for mumbai & Indian roads for daily commutes & for sports & for outstation holidays & long drives. The company should keep the same engine & reintroduce the bike in a spruced-up avataar with some additional features. I am going to keep my pulsar 220f even if I go in for a new bike in the near future.
Cheers to bajaj for their most reliable vehicle!! ciao!!!

Quick pick-up, best bike under 250 cc. If we ride economically we get good mileage of 40 km/l. Long rides are comfortable as compared to other 250 cc bikes.
Only fiber part vibrates when bike is over 90 km/h. If we ride too fast we can get a mileage of 30-35. Features are less as compared to other bikes. Overall this is a good option between 200 to 250 cc.
