    Since the guy knew what tests are already done and what test might be underway, I thought he also knows about the other tests and timeline of their completion.

      and the question remains why do i race?
      every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

        40,000km's. WOW
        You know the list of tests, you know the odo reading of tests bikes. And then you say, you are not an insider.

          i am again repeating that i read these things somewhere i don't remember,if i were insider then i would have been riding,testing,enjoying dukes and pulsars on chakan test track.

            May be we should stop spreading incorrect info, unless backed with data?

                What you are saying is not normal(list of tests, km's done, etc) hence if not backed with some proof, it will sound like a rumour/hoax.

                  ok here you go ,deleting my posts,as they don't have backings,would like to know what tests are done,how many km's are done?

                    coz i feel that the design of the tank is similar to hunk.(Also the designer of 200NS has also been on the design team of Hunk) But the tank of the Hunk looks disproportionate(bigger) with the actual size of the bike!!
                    does the tank of 200NS get along with the whole bike??
                    Also, what I felt from the pictures is that the split handle bar's height is more as compared to other bikes. does that look odd??

                    Thanks for ur pics and descriptions..
                    The tank goes very well with the bike, its like a match made in heaven
                    the handlebars height is as much as that of the zmr's and unlike most split handle bars which are more curved to the inside of the bike, these ones are quite straight. So, you will get the feel of a street fighter handlebar with the advantages of split handlebars.

                    All these questions are coming because the pictures (none of them on the entire thread) show exactly how amazing the bike looks, frm the pictures i had seen earlier i had made that its got some awkward proportions, but it luks exxtremley goood

                    • I don't think buying black on this bike, even when it has dual tone, will be advisable (with black as second color). It would be like buying a CBR250 with Silver color (with silver as second color) (not pearl heron blue). it would lose its dual tone sporty property. The colors on this bike are like eye treat.

                      More than mileage I guess they would be testing the effect of 3 plugs on the bike during long trips. Though it has liquid cooled engine and Plugs are controlled by ECU but the heating prospects have to be checked for longer trips. Also the comfort.
                      Whats there in a signature?

                        Did you get to watch/listen the P200NS while on the move?

                          Well said. 40k kms sound a rumour. Also digital speedometers are not easier to look on since readings are not visible when the ignition is off for by-passers.

                            Yes after i took the picture and got on my bike the rider geared up and got on the saddle and took off rm right beside me, i tried following him but cud follow only for half a km, and that too because there was traffic and he was riding a little relaxed probably coz his girlfriend was with him. once the traffic cleared up and v hit main m.g road he zoomed off.

                            The bike sounds amazing, unlike the older pulsars it has a definitive beat to the exhaust sound

                            • So every bike we're going to purchase will have been ridden 40,000 kms of testing ? OR just 2-3 laps of the track ?

                              • ^^ they wouldn't
                                be ridden any k'ms whatsoever, these are just the test bikes.
                                The bikes that are sold are not run at all.
