I never rev to high.. but Please explain I am dumb..

No after releasing clutch..
not newbie but yes I am riding after six years..
but meanwhile it never happened with any other bike.. I have bullet too..

Some stunning pics in here and nicely penned-down review.

If you ask me, this one looks so much better than the KTM. Would have loved the KTM Motor in this mould. The crease/lines are just perfect.

I don't quite understand what you are trying to tell, if the engine is shutting of while clutch lever is held, clutch might need adjustments otherwise you are not giving enough throttle OR Idle is set to very low (OR you are a newbie rider)

We don't have vbox setup to check the roll on figures.

The front nuber plate are fitted at an angle so they will not scrape the front mudguard even on hard braking. Been there done that.

Yes it has been tested in a similar way

I have certain idea but not sure about what is coming so no point writing anything as of now.

Thanks a lot man for the appreciation. When you have lived with a bike for so long then no point giving a regular ride review and hence the effort of putting something different.

When you are filling the coolant from the cap end open the other end of the radiator. Let the coolant fill till the time it oozes out from the other end. This ensures that all the air inside the radiator is now out and there are no air pockets inside the radiator.

I'm no pro in cornering but I could carry more speeds in NS over R15 both while entering and exiting a corner in Lavasa. I repeat handling is the best thing in this bike and rest everything comes after that.

Mileage figure is given in the review. Please go through it one more time.

It is a street machines which performs other duties pretty well. Don't expect it to be an out an out offroader. The bike is not made for that.

Are you trying to blip the throttle while putting it in gear? If no then get your CO and idling checked. It will be fine after that.

experts please help !

When I start and put first gear and the time I release clutch it shuts !!
idling is proper.. engine never shuts on neutral.. but whenever I am in first or in second gear it happens.. please guide.

i am not looking for the lap times..i am looking at the quality and confidence and sharpness and stability of the handling package...its no brainer that the power advantage of the ns will leave the r15 eat dust but how exactly is the confidence and poise... Its just like the cbr250 is faster than a r15 but the r15 handles better... I hope you understand what i am trying to say

I was not comparing r15 with pulsar but i was talking about riding pleasure which according to crankpin a pulsar cannot give. Riding pleasure means whether a bike can deliver for which it is designed or not ? These type of hypothetical assumptions "pulsars lack riding pleasure" can mislead others who have never driven any bike.

Excellent review MG, rated the thread a well deserved 5 stars

great write-up & amazing pics(as usual)..... your pics are always great & fun to watch.....
after reading the long term review, I'm all eager to ride this beast..... want to know(& experience) the off-road capability of the bike..... off roading on 220 is fun, & it should be great for 200ns.....

wow!!!!! really amazing fantastic mind blowing..... awesum pictures really good.

can any one tell when will pulsar200ns be available in banglore please post more info about NS n can you please tell the exact milage of the bike

Just going by their natural set ups, an R15 should be able to enter a corner carrying more kmph. However, considering the deficit in power, the NS should get to much higher exit speeds through the mill.

Would be nice to see the lap times in the end amongst all these contenders. But as MG mentioned, how many of us get to do track days anyway.



Newrider, no hard feelings. Please do not compare an R15 to a pulsar150 or a unicorn. Only a novice will do so.


Choose your words wisely friend. 2004 180 dtsi V1 which people said had gear box issues is very much alive (amongst others) in my garage and its one of the most pleasure filled motorcycles i have owned or ridden (that list is long and you may not want to get into that).

Safe riding.

actually i was talking about the handling part... We all know this pulsar can corner well but how good is it when compared to the r15 on a racetrack which has set a benchmark in india and the cbr150r...

Please explain the above. It seems you are saying that to control the overflow of coolant, we SHOULD NOT bleed out the air. Is that correct? Also how is air bleed-ed out?
I top-up the coolant in my car in normal way(without any bleeding of air or anything. Is that correct as well??

PS- i have asked the same question in the pulsar ownership thread. please ignore

The Men, The Machine, their writings and their pictures.. everything is revolutionary. I'm sure, this sort of testing is first for any Indian company, and a first for Xbhp as well.

The best part of whole 200NS experience, has to be the "power to people" concept. Not 1 or 2 but so many NS were handed over to people outside the company, a real world test of the bike!

Impressive

Being an ARDENT fan of YAMAHA......

I am HardWired to HATE PULSARS.....

But this bike does make an IMPRESSION....!!!

Kudos to Bajaj......m waiting 4 the DUKE 350...!!
