Therefore please think before posting.

I was just registering my doubt which still feels like a logical thought from my side. I am not a fan of any particular brand I just love good machines no matter whoever manufactures it. I consider your comment as the result of complete misunderstanding of my words.

Yipee I am going for an exchange from SAI SERVICE ANDHERI E (MUMBAI)

My P200 for this one.They had quoted 38K for it.

> I am Second owner
> bike done 9000 Kms only(actually in the initial days owner had a bad accident,sos when i purchased it,it was just 1K kms done)
> I purchased it for 50K
> One accident history(not from my side)
> Thane registered..purchased in Jan 2008 by the owner.

Is the deal good ?

Leon if you notice nobody is criticisng the bike or the efforts put by BAL we are all very happy about the new bike.

Its just that the Marketing is a bit over the top thats it You say why Bajaj simply because nobody else is going so OTT, if they did we guys will react the same way

If you check any of my posts in RTR threads I have always said that they are always 2 steps behind when compared to Bajaj & almost always copy what Bajaj does.

So the idea is to give credit where its due & also criticize where needed

only 38k for a 9k run 1.5 year old P200

sorry another question

What is the meaning of F emblazoned on the side fairing ?

1a. The carb is of superior tech, Bajaj claims 5% more FE over DTSFi.
1b. Significant price reduction
1c. A Strategy

2. Design 'element' it's not 'F', people say so.

(OT question, OT answer)

i dont get the point why it is so difficult for a GIANT company like bajaj to develop a monoshock and a rigid lightweight frame . it is not rocket science . no matter how fast and neatly priced the 220 maybe it is a disappointment .
