    Fe figures need not be tested in arai..ther is a standard procedure of drive cycle thats tested for finding FE and that is done on a test machine known as chassis dynamometer. and usually all companies have that inhouse witht engine calibration team.
    and they wud have tested that like hell before anouncing it.
    it is called engine dynamometer.they also need arai approval too,otherwise manufacturers will go on to claim un-realistic figure.

    i have seen that..and i work in an indian OEM..:P
    odo meter is not connected..
    noted, i didnt know that bajaj also tests all its bikes before shipping out just like all other international brands, but if they can give competition to international brands then they obviously hav raised their final products standard too by testing them before shipping

    Enquired at the Popular Bajaj showroom here in Kochi. But they said they have not got any intimations yet.

    Can't afford to wait again, seriously.

    @bajaj : Why this Kolaveri..???

    Glynn Kerr is a design consultant. More of a part time designer.
    Edgar Heinrich was a full time Bajaj employee. Now he is head of BMW Motorrad Design.

    My friend got his 220 deliverd 3 weeks back with 0km's on the odo.

    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..

    Naa, he wasn't taking anything different (price or booking slip) for the premium version. So we can choose from the two variants once we are done with TD.. This actually got me thinking that the price (1.10 for premium) comes close to the Duke...

    @inder, i think premium version is the dual tone one with soft compound tyres.
    Exactly.
    Every production bike have to go through some minimum no of test before being shipped out of the factory.
    (Bikes might be Dyno-tested or on the factory plant tracks)
    When they test the bike they generally dont plug the odometre.
    Odometer is plugged in at the time of pre-delivery inspection from the dealer.

    @Shibadip: Thanks buddy...
    Agree with you.. Painfully waiting for 2 months (roughly including the delays) for the bike and then another month or two of running-in... frustrating..

    @inder.cool: the showroom guy said that premium is for a set better tyres (he said he's not sure of the other changes) and he quoted the bike price to be 1 - 1.10 lakhs.

    thats wrong...all vehicles once they are out of the production line has to go through a certain number of quality and function tests ..to complete these tests all the vehicles will have a round inside the plant itself.
    but that will be hardly 2 kms.
    i dont know if they are tested before being shipped out, but i'm pretty sure if they do that they do not let it get counted on the odo.

    Also he said that they would be calling me on april 15th, for test drive and to have a look at the bike...
    Rs.1000 refundable for booking..
    Congrats buddy..
    Now This booking amount seems to be normal.
    Thats why there have been 75 bookings earlier(if the dealer is not faking it)

    However, April 15th TD means the bike will be available by last week of April!!
    That means SIX more weeks as the waiting period!!! Ufffffffffff
