    Guys, I am posting this behalf of my friend Prakar Johari. He can't access Xbhp due to some reasons. He has a question.

    "Will p200ns be able to do a better wheelie as compared to p220? Or in a seperate case, as it is already mentioned here that p200ns has a constant acceleration alongwith the twisting throttle and not having that much aggressive initial jerk/jump so what about a Wheelie individually?"

    I can't answer because I never seen or ride NS till date.

    MG or anyone who rode NS comment on this??
    Can't say anything about Wheelie...But I can say this...

    NS doesn't have that initial jerk/ jump and it will start slow on low rpms.
    Many people will interpret this as a low pick up in the traditional sense.
    But once you cross 5k rpm and go upwards from there the acceleration you build up is amazing! And it continues to build power and torque till you redline.

    People riding the NS at low RPM wouldn't really understand whats underneath the machine.

    • guys is it true that ns will also come in FI variant? the guy from autocar show told that ns will further come in FI and faired versions ..later on , it will move to smaller displacements ..

        hard to find faults...but look closely and you will find design faults...but who cares... i am just blown away with the bike....

          How exactly do you measure reliability? How do you set the benchmark as some manufacturer, say X and how does it differ from Y?
          I measure reliability in breakdowns/lac km. So far I am at 'zero' with both my Pulsar and my old Caliber. Is that good or bad ? Whatever it is, its definitely worse than Heros and Hondas.
          Advice is a form of nostalgia.
          Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

          • pulsar 200ns, initial experience

            Wow, Nice review, I got My RED Baby 2 weeks back after endless wait, its simply amazing , Due to rains on and off taking it out on sunny days only, done 400kms, in runin period, so no experiments for now, Since the time i got it, i have been stopped by curious teenagers on the road, highways just to have a look of the bike, it just looks different, bold and full of muscle. great pickup, great ride, getting used to one down and up pattern, after riding my pulsar150 for 11 years.

            lack of centre stand is a irritant, following up with sai service for the same, still not available, the rear split mudflaps are impractical, even though it gives a sporting character, a single drive in the rain filled up the rear underbody full of mud and grime. Have developed a low cost contraption, will share the pics soon, can be constructed for Rs. 20/- only, yes you heard it right, will keep the same till the rains, saved my rear end from mud and grime, and also protects the painted underbody of tail light end. tank Body and panels are plastics/ FRP , paint is very prone to scratches, suggestion would be to get it waxed and polymer sealed.

            Right now just enjoying my ride, will keep posted, as days go by.

                actually some people define reliability as engine smoothness and and noise.... For me reliability is low cost of ownership along with cheap spares and a robust service network....

                      • pulsar 200ns RAIN mod rear mudflap

                        Hi guys

                        Here are the pictures and process.

                        Apparatus: scissors, Cutter, Hightensile paper clip, Old Discarded Inner rubber Tube from a LMV, or as it suits you ( Should be slightly thick)

                        Pls have a look at the image before reading, Measure and cut a part of the rubber inner Tube, starting from half way of rear mudflap to wards the second part of the mudflap near the Rear Shock, on the extreme ends, fold the rubber on the insides of the exixting mudflaps, secure with a high tensile clips, Put a wire or a strond nylon thread, through the clips to prevent from slipping of someone removing it. Contraption ready fro rains, It save a lot of hassels in cleaning the bike after every ride in the rain.

                            this is the reason why i like the r15's rear hugger ..it is both functional and good looking

                              Hey man, nice INNOVATION. Good, simple and detachable, and of course cost effective

                              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
