    Thanks

    "No reliability glitches"

    Thanks MG.
    I hope this bike removes a bit unreliable image of pulsar(pulsar lovers please ignore my comment- I am expecting not to receive any comments for this post.This is just my opinion -no hard evidence from my side).
    Whenever i see bikes or cars i see adrenalin pumps instead of people carriers.Thats the way to define an automobile.

      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
      What's the reason behind 220 being a better off-roader? Is the chassis or suspension?

The vehicle is pretty quick for our traffic and can kill anyone if not taken proper care.
        Very good end note for a great review. I really beleive these new breeds of bikes like ns, ktm, cbr are very sharp knives and have to be used very very carefully. We need to mind especially when riding inside the city where moms are riding their kids to school, elderly people might be driving a commuter very carefully, school children might cross with their tiny bicycles etc. These bikes need lot of maturity and being with a adrelanline junkie kid or with a illegal street racer would be a nightmare for everyone.
        Its crime to ride a car alone, so I ride bike :).

            Its the softer suspension compared to the NS , although NS' stiffer suspension boosts its rideablity in the corners & provides better agility.

              IMO, They never let you know. That google Doc was only for knowing how much buyers are there in all over India. According to number of buyers, they will launch NS.

                Maybe you are right..that could be true....
                by the way can you tell me what's the booking amount of the P200 NS and what is the waiting period ?
                Regards.

                  1) P200NS switchgear is backlit?
                  2) What is the colour of illumation for the speedo console
                  I guess this answers your query.

                    My booking amount was 5K. Waiting period is still going on from February to me.

                    August 7th is the date now told by showroom manager in Cochin.

                      @rahuldevnath : it can be because of its flexi chassis and softer suspension that P220 is found tobe better off roader than P200NS. P200NS' chassis is the renowned perimeter frame (please correct me if I am wrong) which is lighter in weight and very strong. This characteristic helps in retaining the cornering ability of the bike. Certainly enough, @MG sir would have told that P200NS is a better track tool than P220.

                      Both chassis and suspension add to the character of the bike a lot. personal opinion, I find it a bit difficult to corner in my P150 but find it relatively easy on Apache series, although the later wears a awful TVS Srichakra tyres.

                      The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place. It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.

                        Well, I do understand that the suspension on 200 is stiffer, but at the same time it's also lighter, has a higher saddle height, better suspension and does not have the faring. That's why I was wondering given that the 200Ns with it's mono suspension is much better on track, should also be as good if not better than 220 in off roading!

                          @ rahul- higher saddle height, means higher Center of gravity. There by making it a bit difficult to balance the bike while off-roading.

                            Are you sure? It's the other way round. Both saddle height and ground clearance is more on off-roaders. Lesser height is desirable for cornering and not exactly off roading.

                              Ya, man guess you are right. In fact I saw a program on NGC today about Ducati Transformer bike(dont recall the exact name) and there also somewhere it was said that the saddle height is kept more for better off-roading purpose!

                                Yes the P220 fi has the most Accurate speedo , Even the ZMR too , its even more Accurate than fi220 !
