Here both bikes are good on corners and all new technology!!

NS200: with 200cc engine gives more power and top speed, with an average of 40kmpl, some quote they are getting 45kmpl but real and most practicle would be 35kmpl. a carb engine! Family bike too.

R15 V2.0: ONLY SELF RIDE BIKE!!!
Looks awesome!! No one can cut this bike in terms of looks!! Power and top speed with new technology i.e FI engine. Sanely ridden gets an average of 40kmpl+ but badly ridden then gets 35kmpl. Corners and high speed are with confidence!!


Now the question is

if you matter for looks then R15,
If a family consideration then 200NS

IF power ans top speed is considered then 200NS

If you can get a 200cc with better power and topspeed then why not 200NS@94k instead of R15 with 150cc for 1.3L!!!

Maintenance part Yamaha would be more higher then 200NS INMO.

If you are fan of new technology FI and Yamaha brad name then R15.

But let me clear one thing friend R15 is still a legend with 150cc in market where as there is CBR 150cc also!!.

Crusing long tour won't be a problem in both bikes, it's matter of getting addicted too stuff. i tour on my R15 for big Kms with no issues!! in day to day traffic 200NS is much better then R15...

So now you decide !!!

Can any throw some light on the handling capabilities of P200NS. Is it as good as the R15 to point and shoot within traffic?

Also kindly provide the details about Acceleration, ideal cruising and top speed of P200NS with respect to R15.

Thanks.

how's P200NS is a family bike?? I hope you've seen it,its very much unlike other Pulsars..
& ya anyone can cruise on any bike for touring but that's not both these bikes are made for..

@Topic - P200NS seems to be a better option..you'll also save some money with which you can buy some good gears..

Mostly every one says that 200NS is very similar to R15 in top speed or cornering. but INMO+personally i din't find 200NS as good as R15 corners!! It may be personall thought or felling.

Accelration and top speed is good for 200NS as compare to R15.

You can cruise easily at 110kmph-120kmph with more kmph to be added, people are getting a top speed of 140kmph+.

Daily traffic handling anytime 200NS is better.

200ns seating position is not ike sports i.e R15.

200Ns is VFm for 94k

Ladies are comfortable seating on NS200 than R15. even old aged man also able to seat on Ns200.

My friends mom wasn't able to climb the R15 rear seat for seating where as she sat over Ns200. very starnge na!! but it's real!!

but still terming P200NS as a family bike won't be a right thing as when my friend sat behind me on a P200NS, it was quiet an aggressive position & I am not sure how many "family members" gonna like it..

200NS don't have an agressive seating positiong my friend! It has very similar position to P220! Sportz position on R15 makes pillion hard to ride and in 200NS case pillion is it comfortable than R15 at least!

Top of that 200NS rear seat is positioned rightly so family members can seat and enjoy the ride/commute.But in R15 pillion willsurely hate the ride becuase they aren't comfortable at all, making it against family bike!

Simple!! R15 V1 was much better in this terms but new one is more killer and broader tyres makes is superior to R15 V1.

Thanx buddy for ur advice but i want to say that i want a mixture a performance and looks and i want to know about the problem of engine overheating issue in R15 V2.0 and is 200NS available in all cities??
My friend is having R15 V2.0 i liiked its gear box alot because of its smoothness

For high performance and average looks go with ktm duke

For great looks and average performance go with R15 V2

For average looks and Average Performace go with Pulser

As simple as that

( Personally if I had been at your place I would have gone with R15 V2 due to its killer looks... if youare unmarried then this is the bike for you too :P :P )

PS : Average here is not actually average.. its everage in comparison to each other but actually much higher then any other bikes and you may not experience the much difference unless you are a hardcore biker who keeps a eye on all techmalities like torque, Highest Speed etc
