    A treat to the eyes. Motography back in the best way possible. Thank you guys.

    This bike definitely shows the way Bajaj as a company has evolved as it reflects the way it is now molding itself to face the world market and not just the Indian market. Good to see an Indian company catching up soon in terms of quality of delivery. NS no doubt is bound to be another successful story.

      @Guys please help
      I am buying my first bike. Should i go for this?

      Thanks
      She said, the booking amount is 5,000. And when asked about the price, said under 1 lakh. I've asked whether it's OTR or EX.Shwrm, she doesn't know that. They've only got this info - under 1 lakh.
      Anyway am going on coming Monday to the showroom. Will ask more things..


      It's a great bike. Not a 'true' tourer coz of absence of fairings. Very good for city rides and highway riding. (From the review)

      And if you can wait, wait for the faired version of this. It won't be long

              Hope that helps
              oh so that bajaj logo is just for a visual delight. hmm i was thinking of it as a telltale sign for some special feature or some thing...but its nice..i have also another question, even though i know 200NS and R15 v2 are completely different purpose motorcycles, i just to know how good the pulsar 200NS really is in the handling dept. i would like to put the r15 v2 as a standard as its one of the best and more focused track machines available in the market and ask this question as frankly as possible of whether the 200NS is at par with the r15 v2 or better or worse...i want to ask this not to compare the 2 machines but just to find out how good the p 200 ns has really is..? My big brother seem to be very interested in the new pulsar and thinking of buying it when the faired version comes out...
              i would be grateful if you could help me with info...thank you

                Finally the review is up and to be frank never expected to be so soon.

                Somehow i felt that this review has come up much better, complete and in a well balanced way than KTM 200. I also felt that this bike might be better than KTM as it seems to be suitable for every role thrown to it except for touring and that too limited by fairing. Even this shortcoming should be overcome very soon as there was news mentioning that faired one is in pipeline (is it in the launch thread).

                Gone through most of the first ride impressions from various publications and seems all have the same thing to say, Its really good. Never have seen such an unanimous opinion from so many reviews.

                Thanks for the review team for brining up he such a well rounded review. And great going Bajaj.

                PS: Now as XBHP team has ridden both KTM and Pulsar can we have a brief summary comparison of these bikes. This will be very helpful for prospective customers in deciding which one to go for. Please....

                  i hear these models are just pre production models and hence there seem to be minor glitches here and there regarding the paint, fit and finish dept and areas like the weld finishes...etc but hopefully bajaj will iron out the final glitches and adds the final finesse that the production versions are known for...at least i hope the notice and first feed backs and irons out the issues if any also i am hoping for a slightly improved top end figure in the final production version but still very much impressed nonetheless and not disappointed...

                          Now i don't care how anyone perceives this "vehicle" but 3 totally positive reviews from well-known websites is more than enough to convince me to buy it...
                          Its a vehicle..
                          Its a bike...

                            looks like they are mounts for fixing the rear tyre hugger, like the ones we have seen on duke 200 and pulsar 135.

                            or maybe mounting points for fixing huge milk containers for our beloved pulsar doodhwalas.

                              A very good and useful review. i want to buy or rather say upgrade my bike, but would wait for the faired version of P200NS or P220 or P250 whichever comes earlier. I already have P150 UG2 and so would like some faired bike now. Was looking to buy R15 but this bike has put me in double mind so better wait for it. Thank you for the great review. Bajaj always had great bikes and now they are coming way ahead in terms of technology and quality also. My bike 7yrs and going strong no issues.

                                If the mounts are for tyre hugger, are they not supposed to be available on both the sides? i cound not find such mounts on the other side of swingarm.

                                So what can these mounts be? any additional equipment
