heheOriginally posted by Newrider88 View PostSeems like you are some design engineer in bajaj R&D.
no i am not... let it get launched then sab pata chalega...
@rohan: why do u think it will have metal talk...? Plastics are easier to work with and lighter... Whatever it is those tank extensions wont be there for sure... I want bajaj to change those handles please...it looks so odd... If there is one thing that is pissing me off from this bike, then it is the handles... Give proper clipons, not rose petals..or atlest a single piece duke type handle...
@abikeratheart: me too getting jelous. looks like all those testers whosd pics were clicked are xbhp seniors....lol...

yes i think so .. because p180 weighs 148kgs .. p220s would easily weigh 150kgs with bigger engine and exhaust ...Originally posted by antz.bin View Post

Brother.. I am not making this bit up. Feel free to verify the following 3 lines from official sources.Originally posted by Rohan200ns View Post
The kerb weight of P220 DTSI F is 152 kg
The kerb weight of P220 DTSI S is 150 kg
The kerb weight of P220 DTS-FI is 150 kg
The bikini fairing and headlamp assembly of the P220 S also has some weight. It is not weightless.Leave a comment:

it will have metal tank thenOriginally posted by Rahulbarik View PostLeave a comment:

it is not coming with a full fairing....rest assured.... It will come with quarter fairing with very aggressive cuts and creases with a revised tank... The tank extensions will not be there..they are removeable... Instead the fairing will be blended over there... Expect 55w projectors... I simply cant understand why bajaj choose this 3rd class clip ons... I feel like breaking those... Since the front forks of the 180, 220 and 200ns are the same, the 220/180 clipons will be a direct fit...only problem, will it touch the tank extensions? Can someone plz check out how much space is there between the tank and handlebar when it is fully turned? Can anyone post a pic?Originally posted by Rohan200ns View PostLeave a comment:

the weight difference between 220s and 200f is nearly 5kgs ...Originally posted by antz.bin View Post
the new one is expected to have a full fairing , so it will need many more parts and will add up close to 10kgs ..
the ss might get to higher top speed with gearing tweaks but it will miss out on acceleration ..Leave a comment:

Thanks for confirming, MG. I sincerely hope you folks get one (V-Box) soon, what with your magazine being out now for more than a year & your evolution into a complete professional outfit than just being an auto forum. Especially for me, who has seen your role over the years in molding Indian biking, I'd like to rely on the factual data quoted in here & certain other websites than going by what established auto-mag houses have to say.Originally posted by MG View Post
Thanks for the efforts to cater to our questions, though. My respect for xBhp & its members will ever be so high!Leave a comment:

As far as i know ( read several blogs, reliable and unreliable). New bike will have same power output with some changes to the gearing to increase the top speed.New bike will be named as "Supersport" and 7-8k costlier than NS.Originally posted by Rohan200ns View Post
My personal thoughts- NS is already a capable bike so bajaj will keep the power as it is and do some cosmetic mods to satisfy fairing love of indian masses.Leave a comment:

Just FYI, weight difference between 220F and 220S is 2kg. Given the better aerodynamics of the comparatively heavier 220F, it manages a higher top-speed amongst the 2.Originally posted by Rohan200ns View Post
@MG, I don't see how a semi/full faired variant will be worse off than the NS.Leave a comment:

@ MG - thanks but that leaves it with two possibilities .. either the 200ss will come with revised power output or will get a bigger engine ...Originally posted by MG View Post
it might cost about 10k more than ns and would add up another 10kgs to an already heavy bike ..
what do you think is most probable ?
- bigger engine or revised tuning for same engine ?Leave a comment:

Even if a 200cc faired version is released with the similar spec it will be slower than NSOriginally posted by Rohan200ns View Post
Seat modification is your best betOriginally posted by Speedshift View PostThanks for the info about the seat... I was also thinking about making it a bit narrow somehow as it is wider than my FZS's seat which makes the legs near thighs create a sort of arc further reducing the reach of the legs.
Will surely explore the possibility of the rear 140/60 tyre once I get the bike on monday....
And finally the last resort can be those big ugly (personal taste) woodland shoes which have huge thick sole from toe to heelLeave a comment:

I had earlier planned to go for Duke but at 810mm its even taller than the NS albeit just a bit with NS being 805. BTW I would love to have Duke's 150/60 rear tyre in NS. It will provide bulk to the rear profile of the bike but I guess it won't fit at all
