      My Pulsar 220F was my first bike, which I bought in 2017, and I am still using it today. It offers great mileage and is fantastic to ride, handling highways perfectly. The only area for improvement is the headlight — an LED headlight would make it even better. Otherwise, there’s nothing wrong with this bike; it remains a reliable and enjoyable ride.

      The 220F is a very good bike. It is comfortable and available at a good price. Anyone can buy it. It is really a powerful bike and also good for off-road riding. The average and mileage are also good.
