Dude run-in period is 2000 kms not 450. 450 is the first service time...

Good to hear positive comments. And the mileage under sane driving conditions look really good. Way beyond what anyone reported so far.wonder why the service costs vary from place to place. I think what others have posted in ownership thread might be different.way t go man. Happy Miles ahead. Keep the feedback coming

pulsar 200 ns first 550 kms report

Completed the runnin period of 450 kms, as per limitations, never exceeded speed 0f 55kph, driving was a mixed bag, a combi of city and highway rides, a good amount of peak hour traffic, 15 signals on the route, frequest stops, and also long high way runs of 40 kms. Filled the tank to BRIM on delivery, reset the trip to zero. on 550 kms , i topped up again to the brim, it took 10.74 litre, at the same pump , same nozzle. That gave me effective economy of: 550kms / 10.74 litre = that is 51.21 ( absolutely fantastic for a 200 monster), but the ride was economic never exceded 55kph, now need to test on next refill. will keep you guys updated. First service was done oil changed, pretty costly oil at 470/-,now it is bajaj genuine 20-50, 10,000 kms oil. by HP. and some miscellenous charge of 24 rs for putting gelly for battery contacts. Added the MAIN stand( now available), for 530 + 100 service + taxes amounting to total of Rs. 650/-, replaced a faulty nut of the front seat that was just rotating , no cost. Till now a great experience will keep posting further... till then ...

Clear View on pros and cons

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!

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.

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

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!

@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.

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.
