    Ya colours are all good, and thus very confusing. U need to see the bike in flesh n then decide.About colour fading, its too early to tell.

    For more details, look into the NS ownership thread.
    thanks a lot.. i saw all the colours and most probably will go for the red one..

          • Chassis vibration between 4500 to 5500 rpm !! Help !!

            Hi people , I have done around 1500 kms on this machine . I rode very carefully during the run in period , never crossed 60 kmph till the 1000 km mark . The engine felt a little rough and i assumed since it is a new bike it will smoothen out in sometime . During the first service i switched to Motul 15w50 fully synthetic engine oil . Gear shifts are super smooth but I am getting very heavy vibration from the engine which is felt all the way back to the grab rails between the 4500 - 5500 rpm mark . Below 4500 I can barely make out that the engine is running and above 5500 rpm it simple screams .. Anybody else experincing a similar problem . Shud I be concerned about this or will it smoothen out in due time ??

              First This question should be in "Help me" or "Ownership Thread" rather than here!!

              Second, why did you change the engine to Fully Synthetic so early??

              Mostly if your bike is not recommended by Manufacturer as Fully synthetic then you should only use Fully synthetic after some 6-8K only. Mostly people start using it after 3rd Service.

              As far as vibration is concern, It should not have vibration in 5500 -7000rpm atleast as this are mid power band and anything above 7k rpm is high power band where bike would reach to high power and speed!!

              Get it checked by SVC. And if SVC don't recommend ful synthetic than you are in soup for your engine, because this will void your warranty!!

              • Hello, I own a P200NS too. I get vibrations from 6-7 k rpm in all gears. I get irritated by it. I have done, 1700 kms till now. Please help. I haven't changed any oil.

All pulsars from the first Pulsar launched till the 220 had vibey engines, noisy gearboxes and bad part quality. Have these issues been sorted out correctly? Riding pleasure was something that all the pulsars lacked.
                  @Crankpin: Lets be serious & practical when we pass such statements about riding pleasure when plastic bikes are involved because all the HHs and Hondas and other Pulsar competitors, that is what they are, trying to always suck as much economy out of the bike as possible and posing as refined machines. Atleast, Bajaj with its Pulsar range went where no other Indian or Jap bike manufacturer didnt dare to. No offense personally.

                  its done, just youtube it, it passes the test with flying colours.

                    .
                    The CBZ went there before the pulsar series did The CBZ is technically a Jap (Honda) and commercially a HH (in India) .. no offense to anyone.
                    @crankpin - i have ridden both the CBZ classic and the pulsar series extensively and was satisfied with both (though more comfortable on the cbz)
                    The argument continues...

                      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..
                      Beautiful prose mate..a good appraisal for Brand Pulsar...

                      • Awesome picture but one thing i need to clarify that while write now i have pulsar 220 & my brother brought pulsar 200 Ns. but while we are in long trip near about 200 km i found myself more comfortable in 220 than 200 in riding condition. my height is 6"1, so while riding 200 for long time i feel some pain in shoulder, why is it? Is it for long height?

                          The girl said, 'NO!'


                          And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

                          • I only read this review today, and I have to say MG, you can make a man think twice! I almost regretted not buying the 200NS after I read through this review. Hats off to how much attention to detail you have put into this. Hope some day I can write like you can!

                              Pulsar 200NS does tend to vibrate a bit at high revvs...

                                hello all, I'm from Indonesia. and early of this month, the Pulsar 200NS is finally on sale here (phew finally....)

                                but they didn't sold by BAJAJ INDONESIA, but the KAWASAKI is taking over. i guess the delay for about 6 months is because the merger between Kawasaki and Bajaj is tough. but the old pulsar still handled by the Bajaj. And there's bad news too, Bajaj Indonesia is go bankrupt!!! so all of the mechanics are fired, and we (the old pulsar owner) are concerned about the after-sales service and spare part problems. and the dealers were closed (most of them).

                                anyway, the 200NS here is named "KAWASAKI BAJAJ 200NS" the bike is sold by kawasaki, spare part and service can be done at kawasaki. they do some "fix" to the bike, like the welding, the paint job, erasing rear mud guard (which i love because it like the BMW GS), and some other things.

                                oyeah, the price is Rp. 23.300.000, or about 141.466 rupee

                                this is the pictures :






















                                anyway is there a dyno test for the 200NS in India? i would like to know the result

                                sorry for the bad english and thank you
