    If you know some history about KTM, you will never go for the NS. It is a brand which has a very rich history.

        Refer the below attachment for a better idea. Again the below graph is pure theory and practically there are may more aspects that matter a lot.
        thanks
        i checked the wiki.Even engines with 14:1 are also made.
        Whenever i see bikes or cars i see adrenalin pumps instead of people carriers.Thats the way to define an automobile.

        • today, i went to pune probiking showroom to check out the KTM200. i am impressed by the bike- look, feel, style, exhaust note etc. but sadly, it is not for me. for me it felt a bit small, the knees were hitting the knee recesses, so may be guys upto 5'10" are fine but anybody above that and knees will hit the tank. also if you are big on size like me at 6' and 95 kgs, KTM is a bit small. and a waiting period of 90 days.

            • Looks like Bajaj was very clear in launching 2 different machines for 2 diff. sections within a small time to capture both the markets
              1) KTM for the people who would appreciate the trellis frame,upside down forks, Fi ,extra bhp and N-m with low-weight and the exoticism of KTM
              2) NS200 for the budget conscious with looks

                      Hey, Bike came in only today. I was there today and this is a display vehicle, test drive vehicle is coming in 1st or 2nd week of Feb.

                      This display vehicle itself couple of people were test driving it. He didnt allow me to Test drive it saying it needed to go to RTO first.

                      • The test bike was delayed (Bengaluru being the last to get the Display vehicle) as the truck carrying it had broken down.

                        It was a good feel to mount the Duke!
