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

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

@inder, i think premium version is the dual tone one with soft compound tyres.

@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.

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.

I asked him the same and he said it would be sub 1lakh... He also said that the pricing, colors and premium/non-premium details would be revealed when we are called for the TD...

So is the dealer taking different booking for the premium amd base version??
Or is it that after booking, customer can choose from the two variants after test drive??

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...

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..

i thought Edgar Hienrich was only involved with the BAL team in designing the next gen pulsar. And if i am not wrong, it was DESIGN GURU GLEN KYRR along with ravi darad of bajaj in designing the first pulsar and from Glen kyrr had always been there in designing of the pulsar up till the p135 ls design.Yes glen kyrr also was responsible for hero moto corp's HUNK and it was not edgar heinrich who came into BAL team in 2008/ 09 if i am not wrong.

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.

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..???
