Bajaj has reintroduced the 220F in India at a price of Rs. 1.39 lakh slotting it very similar to the existing single-channel ABS version of the Pulsar F250. Let us take a closer look at the veteran against its new-age sibling!

| Pulsar 220F | Pulsar F250 | |
| Price, ex-showroom | Rs. 1,39,686 | Rs. 1,40,333 |
The Bajaj Pulsar F250 is just a couple of hundred rupees more expensive than the two despite being a much recent and updated offering from the company. First offered in 2007, the 220F was silently discontinued in April 2022 but still has an ardent fan following.

| Torque | 18.55 Nm | 21.5 Nm |

Owing to a larger powertrain, the Pulsar F250 offers higher power and torque figures at 24.5 hp and 21.5 Nm. Both motorcycles have the same 5-speed gearboxes. One hopes that the new 220F gets a comparatively more refined engine than before.
