Bajaj sold 5720 units of Pulsar 220 last month compared to 8180 units in same month last year and sales have come down by 30 per cent. The reason for the drop in sales might be the introduced of cheaper Pulsar 180F as the price difference between both models is around Rs. 14,000. But Bajaj is yet to offer ABS system with Pulsar 180F.
