Bajaj Pulsar 220F BS6 Gets A Price Hike

Most two-wheeler makers are increasing prices across their respective BS6 range and Bajaj Auto too has increased prices on several models across its range. The company has silently increased prices on the BS6 compliant version of the Pulsar 220F that was introduced earlier this year. The Bajaj Pulsar 220F BS6 is a price hike of Rs. 2,503, and now retails at Rs. 1.20 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The BS6 version of the popular 220F was introduced in April this year and had already received a price increase of Rs. 8,960 over the BS4 model. The latest price increase pushes the overall hike to Rs. 11,463 over the older version.

Cosmetically and mechanically, nothing changes on the BS6 Bajaj Pulsar 220F. The motorcycle continues to get the same design with the semi-fairing, vertically stacked projector headlamps, all-black treatment, beefy exhaust and split seats. Well over a decade since its launch, the Pulsar 220F continues to be a strong seller for the brand even as there are plenty of new rivals in the segment. With the BS6 version though, the model lost some of its value-for-money price tag, which was one of the key reasons for its popularity.

While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
