    If the on road price is any higher than 95k then I'm going to have second thoughts about this bike. It's supposed to a bike which the common mass can afford, and if it goes over a lakh it's going to fall into the category of the R15 and the duke, which they obviously would not want, and I don't think they would do either. I am expecting an on road price of somewhere around 90-95 thousand.

    Hey its 1-1.10, so we're not sure about the exact pricing.. 10k (assuming) extra for only tires is not justifiable, esp. since they're not additional but they would be replaced..

    Let's wait for another few weeks and everything will be clear.. as of now we're just going by words, nothing solid (proof)...

    One can also get one of the best road tyres the Pirelli Sport Demon, which is available in a variety of sizes including that of the P200NS Front (100/80-17) and Rear (130/70-17 ).

So lets not give them any such *brilliant* ideas.
    so soft compound tyres for all bikes?are the new mrfs ready?

    I never knew of this proposal being done on Duke. guess the Duke is taking its business in India very seriously.

    Duke owners and Senior Members, please reply to this Question.
    If you check the ownership thread, you will realize that the rumored revlimiter is not a rev-limiter but just a user configurable warning light. You *can* rev it till the moon even during run-in (not that it is recommended) but the only thing being the warning lights will come on to warn you that you are revving too high.

    Who would believe if i said i had suggested Bajaj the coloring of mid panels black. No one would. Bajaj took the suggestion and did exactly the same.
    Thank you Mr Tandon for listening to us.


    Ride safe future P200NS owners!

My point is if something like that is gonna be/is being done on the duke 200 as to safeguard the engine's life and performance, will/can it be also done on the p200 NS also...?

    Thanks alot Satya for updating the pic. The bike looks nice. Don't get me wrong but I am not able to identify the 2-tone treatment on ur bike.

    Also when I first drove the 220 DTSFi it was like the best bike I ever drove till that time atleast. Some people say that it is available on order.. is it true?? Why they stopped it.. Only becz of high price tag... or something else..?
