    but pulsar 200 ns uses triple spark carburetor unlike Fuel injection used by KTM duke 200.. from what I read FI is reduces pollution more than carb..

    everyone's seen 1st gen 5yr old pulsars emit a lot of smoke..

    // thanks to triple spark technology, for proper combustion and no smoke.....

    I think there will be some smoke.. else logically there would be no need for the exhaust pipe to be open..

    this is my only concern from what I see with the new exhaust.. I don't want 200 ns to emit smoke to pillion.. say after 5-7 years..
    I have seen 2 day old ZMAs, RTRs and Activas spewing out smoke by the ton. Emission control is an important part of testing by any manufacturer. You cant help it as a manufacturer if your customer forgets to put in proper quality and quantity of oil.
    Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.

    • Pulsar 200NS Lap at Chakan - OVERDRIVE - YouTube


      The performance is really boring after 110kmph and it struggles to do even a modest 130kmph (I was expecting a lot from a 23bhp bike)

        Hi mg i know you might be right but i feel it is for the exhaust extension which will be sold as an accessory this will be extending the exhaust a bit higher then what it is so that the bike can be taken to water crossings...

        And yea this will be a variable suspended exhaust i.e. the part where this assembly will meet the actual exhaust there will be a spring kind of hose which will help it to move with the suspension...

        Its again a feature since this will be the first time it will not be mounted on chassis based assembly and on the variable part i.e. the swing arm...

            • couple of questions for the review team

              a) were the switches having back light like the current pulsars?
              b) any performance accessories to be made available like the KTM ones?
              c) were the test bikes final production version or can we expect some more changes in performance / looks department?

                switches are back-lit like old gen,no performance accesssories as for now,and yes these are the final production version.
                and the question remains why do i race?
                every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

                  Sir,

                  Just a noob question. Will the Duke 200 Sprockets be a direct fit on P200NS?

                  If yes then we have a range of options I suppose.

                    What's the booking amount and what's the price of bike?

                    • P220 or P200NS

                      Sorry mods, if this is OT. Before I start my comments, just wanted to say this is a very great forum and the review by Old Fox was astounding. Awesome.. In fact, his review is what made me post this else it was the P220.

                      I just booked a P220 speedline from Chennai ProBiking despite knowing that 200NS was around the corner. Two primary reasons for choosing the P220 were a) the 55W projector lamp since I travel after dusk frequently and b) the rear lofty pillion seat as seen in the pictures and as told in the reviews are not pillion friendly which wifey would abhor.

                      Just wanted to know if the P220 booking was a bloody blunder or if it's okay. I am asking this since we now have a test-ride review of the P200 that can be compared to the P220. If there already is a comparison, please provide the link. Just want to know in the little time available if I should cancel the P220 booking.

                        if you could wait for the p200ns till april.... then its worth waiting..
                        comparing to 220 you can see the below thread






                        and yes you will not have 55w projector lamps in p200ns....
                        but it may be available in faired version.....for which you may have to wait longer than p200ns...

                          Booking amount was 5K. And they are also not sure about the price. He said under 1 lakh. Though not sure whether its OTR or X-showroom..!

                          And about the colors, he mentioned black too. I will chose color when its in show room. Have to decide seeing it in flesh. Not from the digital pictures..

                          These coming days till April is going to be nightmare for me.. hehe

                              Even i have done the booking here in coimbatore for 1k :P . The SE though says the customer has flexibility of changing the choice of bike anytime later.

                              But still there is no news of price and arrival.

                              May change my mind if faired version comes soon.
                              Which version you interested in?
