The answer is in your question itself

@techno - Adil gets a CTC from Bajaj as well you see

. We have seen that trend when he was with OD, BI and now ZW.

What's CTC in this context Joel?

The top whack figure 144.3kmph is certified from VRDE. So I think this is authentic!!!!

I see a lot of questions on how the new 220 with 1PS more can have a substantially higher top end. Please understand that BHP alone means nothing. The bike has been regeared with a tall 5th cog. If I remember correctly the earliest 180 had 15bhp (14.74) and a top whack of 121kmph. The 180ug3 (17 inch wheels) had a top whack of 115kmph inspite of being 16bhp. Reason being same gear ratios coupled with a 17inch wheel. Yes the acceleration was way better 15sec to 100kmph compared to 20secs for the first 180.

That would be "cost to company". I guess he's saying Adil gets paid to write good things about Bajaj.

Hmm I thought he didnt mean it that way, lol we Service guys think only about CTCs all the time

Bajaj Pulsar, the 'Fastest Indian' AD, well it was for 4 days.

Read about it here.

Well the race kit made available can be used only on track legally.

So the P220 DTSi is still the fastest production bike.

Proxima · 6th July 2009, 19:17

Super article! so the R15 is the first to 150kmph in India.

Technocrat · 6th July 2009, 19:28

Only on track & amongst current breed of bikes sold in India, Yes

And also at what cost?! The bike is already 20-25K more than P220 and with the addition of these kits it'll be that much more costlier.
