      p200 ns all the way.
      and the question remains why do i race?
      every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

      #i don't subscribe to co-incidence,either it is the rider or the other moron on the road

        Anything other than the monetary reasons for choosing it over Duke - the most popular bike in the world of xBhp currently?


        The fervour on its thread is too distractive. Even if its got issues with clunky gearing, short uncomfy pillion seat, chain slack issue, head assembly noises, coolant leakage and issues with the petrol lid, I'm getting increasingly attracted to it.

            .
            simple reason.i am not ready for a long-term ownership of duke.
            if i buy duke now.2 years down the lane i can't think of owning ninja as i already own a premium segment bike,the case is different with utter vfm pulsar.

              AFAIK, the gears are smooth and not at all clunky. Admittedly, the pillion seat is of no use. There is no chain slack issue; the only issue is that of a rubber buffer that needs to be placed to avoid the chain hitting the swingarm. The head assembly noise is due to a loosely bound connector beneath the console; a 10 minute rectification job. This is not observed on all Dukes...its just a few that suffer from this. Coolant leakage is a one off...of all the Dukes that I have seen and know, this is not an observation. The petrol lid again is a one off.

              Just thought you should know this..might help you make your purchase
              Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.

                Now Im feeling jealous. But my bike is still new. Would have to wait for sometime to get P200NS or P200FS (& Save too). Have expenses ahead so dont know how much more waiting..

                      Yes yes, I read those points too.

                      I'm btw surprised by the real world FE claims. 34-38kmpl so far.
                      200cc with 25horse is a stressed engine and such FE figures are commendable.

                      I'm more keen on R15, however. My (irrational?) love for fairings and (fanboyistic?) love for Yamaha.

                      Wonder if there was anything spoken of a faired Duke (not p200fs)..

                          No I dont regret it since I was Fairing Crazy and wanted within 80k on-road Bangalore (You know Bangalore is the most expensive) so I didnt' have any other option other than Stunner. Its not new now, 7 months old. I miss the performance but I don't regret my buy since the handling of the bike and looks are better than my other options. P135, SZ-R, P150, GS-150R were my other options but none of them came with half-fairing. P220F & Fazer were expensive. But the comfort of the bike I miss in these 150cc machines. And the handle is so light becz of fairing. And refinement is also superb. Looks were my main criteria. Would have been happy though if Stunner came with 150cc engine. But still for city commuting Im quite satisfied with the handling and comfort it offers along with the superb looks.

                              P220f is a nightmare. Rode one last night. Couldnt cross 75 - such lack of confidence. Took the Duke to 112 on the very 1st ride. R15 to 135kmph.
