The ABS Tech on Maruti Suzuki Ritz VXi costs 25k but on Ritz VDi, it costs 19k. Which one do you think is better among the 2? Also compare this figure to CBR which has 2 lesser wheel speed sensors than a Ritz (which of course has 4 wheels).

@Nav75 my bad on the 220 FI system. Whenever I read about it, all I could see was that the FI system was made by Delphi. Thats the reason I thought they might have outsourced the tech and so might be paying royalty for it. That also explained the higher difference than the other Carb / Fi twins. So it seems their secret is something else.

it was a collaboration between bajaj and delphi.

Personally I don't think the new pulsar 200NS would be that much costly because the general public don't know (or don't care about) the drastic changes which occur under the hood. So pricing it too high might not me right decision. 5k-10k costlier than the previous pulsar at max I would say.

P.s. How much did the previous pulsar 200 cost anyway? (Sorry about the ignorance )

P200NS Pricing

I also think that BAL is mum on the P200NS pricing because of the Budget 2012.
Its expected to hike certain taxes, excise duties, etc. So keeping that in mind BAL would be waiting for the declaration to fix its prices.
OT: And as it is the Indian Govt is really good at relaxing taxes and prices

74-77k varying state-wise.
when is the union budget?
myth it's ot not otr.

Nice Thinking myth.

@nav, rx100, Thanks guys for enlightening us with many technical aspects including ur experiences with Fi. But am still thinking after how many kms the injector needs to be replaced which would incur some investments.

@redlag, ur the guy who spread the 87k ludhiyana info. Was it a rumour or reality? 87k was the ex-showroom price or u read something wrong? U booked the P200NS and if yes for how much? Im 100% sure ur spreading rumours out here. Even the dealers don't know the pricing and ur trying to shine out here by quoting too low.

Top contender for worst comments award.

Union Budget is expected (well...almost sure) to be on 16th March.
I was thinking of the on road price of the P200...and in that frame of mind typed it...now edited.

@Enthusiastic...when thinking about this machine, many things come to the mind to speculate its details. This being one of them.

+1....Noble prize for ignorance

Well I actually believed that at that moment. My brother told me that his friend booked one at that price but later on when I went to the showroom, they said that they wrn't doing any such booking and they didn't have the bike with them so I guess it was just a confusion :P

The sales guy said it should be around rs.1,03,000. that were even prep'in EMI at that price but even he wasn't that sure about the price. I think he was just trying to push me to get a duke. :P

But anyhow, do you guys really think that the regular Indian who doesn't visit forums or is not aware of how drastic the changes are under the hood will be willing to pay that much price premium? I mean if I am a common man and I see the new pulsar 200 being 30k more than the previous one, I probably wouldn't buy it unless it has faring or any other killer feature. It's still 200 cc. That's all what a common man will think.

To a common man, 1lac to too much to ask for a "pulsar 200". Maybe 90k max but not more than that.

Lol. May I know why?

your concern is justified.but people these days atleast do some basic research before buying,but those basic research won't help understanding what's under the hood.

So finally you accepted that you were spreading rumours. I was sure the first time I read your comment and believe me thats not a good practice. Its not good to spread -ve rumours. First u said that P200NS comes at 87K OTR. If some innocent people out here (read: barring Enthusiastic & many others) believed and had so much reason to cheer up would be dishartened abit on knowing that the actual price is actually around 1Lac OTR (just assumption)

Xbhp is a quite famous one and P200NS is a very highly speculated bike not only in India but in many countries (like South East Asian, South American etc.) You won't believe me but I have read your this comments in many international forums and there have been new threads spawned owing to ur comment. Complete Bull Shit.
The Pulsar 200NS though priced quite competitively (assuming Bajaj's pricing) is miles ahead of the old P200 (which was also good at its price) considering the huge advancements in everything (I mean it "Everything"). Be it international street-sport looks, Liquid cooling, twin-spar/perimeter, performance anything.

So the P200NS is definitely not a common man's bike. In India a common mans bike is wats <=150cc (probably 100cc) and priced low and not much performance fig and good mileage. Yes it will quench the performance thirst of many performance thirsty people in our country giving good FE as an additional bonus. And 200cc is not a small engine by any Indian biking stds. And the technologies implied justify its price even if it was little above 1Lac for anyone... also considering competition's prices and the rising costs.

Easy to guess... Read it 10times... or even then u dnt get it then ask @Myth why he gave me +1 for that...
Happy riding


PS: Don't miss this one @redlag... there are many like this in other countries too. This one is from Indonesian P200NS fan site... the Header says "P200Ns price fell to 15millions" http://translate.google.co.in/transl...26prmd%3Dimvns

@enthu your definition of common man=who buys <150 cc is not justified,i see many cbr,220,very few ninja,zmr ,r15[quite a lot] owners around me who neither are financially that strong nor enthusiastic[not you].

I agree sayank u see them because these bikes are catchy. Obviously we wont see (& care to notice) the millions of splendors, discovers, passions, shines etc. surrounding us. If R15 does 4K per month splendor does 1lac+. I agree these bikes are also becoming quite common nowdays and I kind of made it easy to understand for him. Thats it.

so the catchy looks and catchy price tag will eventually result in decent monthly sales figure for p200ns.now the catchy bikes will eventually loose exclusivity,people will buy it obviously as there is increasing average disposable money for middle class indian,even the emi will work out to be cheap,so we start seeing too many p200 around and thus it becomes the mango people's bike.

Well,pulsar200ns have both looks and some decent FE which a common man who has money to spend looks for.Common people believe that FE is proportional to displacement which is partially true.So P200NS will have more buyers than P220f/s for sure.
I'm curious to know about the reason, bajaj not yet declaring the launch date/price?
