    Comparison and Evolution of Pulsars

    When I look back.. 10 years.. Pulsar has come of ages.

    It all began with Pulsar 150cc & 180cc. Back then, the competition of Pulsar150 was with CBZ... Soon came the Karizma and Pulsar 180 was compared with Karizma.

    Pulsars evolved and as they moved ahead, they had new competitors... Unicorn, Apache et al. Pulsars evolved and superseded competition in lot of areas.

    Pulsars further evolved and got competition from Yamaha and Suzuki. There also Pulsars managed to gain vote and people's heart.

    And We have now significantly more number of Pulsar fans in India than Any other bike ever existed. Yes competition did beat pulsars in several areas.

    Come 2012, and Pulsars are again ahead of the pack. 10 years back people compared Pulsars with some Indian products... today Pulsar is being compared with Indian Track King bike - R15 and Honda CBR. Some of the iconic products in world.

    In my 10 years of biking I have never seen a single brand being compared to so many products in Indian market. And thats something amazing.

    Analogy is.. Every smartphone is compared with Apple Iphone

    Comparison has Evolved... Pulsar has evolved. And this is a Vicious Circle.

    World is the Stage.. Bajaj .... go go go..

      BTW, its been hardly a month that 200 ns have been released, and the modifications already started.
      my guess will see a locally made Fully Faired NS, much before bajaj comes up with the SS version
      Yes, I agree, Before Bajaj can, somebody would come with an after market fairing for 200 ns, lets wait and watch

        What are those small irritants?

          headlamps were increased to 55w and quality of some parts were increased, and think that parts wont be disclosedalso some were saying the portion below seat i.e above hugger would be changed to matt black from body colored but it hasnt happened

                  kudos

                  very nice write up MG.
                  From touring point of view p220 better than p200ns?
                  when is the faired version expected?
                  Any reliability glitches till now?
                  Whenever i see bikes or cars i see adrenalin pumps instead of people carriers.Thats the way to define an automobile.

                    No reliability glitches.
                    P220 is an old machine and one will feel it when he takes a back to back ride. Only advantage of P220 over P200NS - Better high speed stability above 120 with less wind turbulence, better performer on off-road terrains

                      So a 200ns performs better than P220 during off-roading?

                          Hi,
                          nice write up MG
                          I want to know how is it expected to perform in high altitude areas, will we feel lack of FI ?

                          How high did you took it while testing ?

                          Thanks.

                            Quality & reliability are two different things. Yamaha provides the best quality among all manufacturers, KTM is also there but they have just started. Reliability is same for almost all the manufacturers.

                            thank you for clarifying..

                              As we speak two P200NS are being ridden/tested by two xBhpians on Leh-Laddakh.

                                Nice, then i will wait for their reviews before actually booking it, but not for long.

                                Just saw on some websites that it is selling in Delhi, i live in Haryana,
                                can i go and book it in Delhi showroom, if yes which one (according to availability)?
