ktm will sell for those who buys brand not machine,but monthly sales figure will be less than initially expected.in this symbiotic relationship bajaj is gaining more.

**chinmayakar** · 01-30-2012, 11:22 PM

Bajaj thanks for this awesome machine. Now, plz plz plz make sure the bike is as niggle free as possible, and hope the performance is as high as the hype around this bike.

today i was travelling in train, and wanted to keep track of this launch but damn almost all the sites were not working. anyway, the wait is 100% worth.

Till date I have not heard any desi auto websites going down because of launch of a particular desi car/bike model.. but today there were many auto sites which were down, because they were covering the new Pulsar launch.

Today, it was was really Pulsar Mania.!!

btw, the FE as told is somewhat like 56 kmpl, if i am not wrong.

how is this possible, so much power and still such a huge FE...if it is correct, this will be a huge revolution ....

and then Mr. Daru says that this even beats KTM in acceleration and top speed, why will anyone purchase a KTM.

P200NS has more pick-up and top end than KTM200, it also has almost double the FE, and handling is also OK, price below 1 Lac .... who will purchase a KTM ????

either there is something wrong in above sentence or the whole process of launching a KTM ....co-developing it....manufacturing it at low cost....is simply to steal KTM technology, which KTM was not eager to share unless BAL does all this.

I am

I was going to book Duke on 1st feb, and now this, and as said above, if it is giving everything better than KTM...plus being a PULSAR....why KTM...

Though I am still a bit inclined towards Duke, but scale is tilting very rapidly towards Pulsar NS

Firstly, let's take time to laugh 'Mr daru' ahahha. Good 1. Yes review posted is too gud to be true. On paper it doesn't outshine ktm on any thing. In 'Mr daruz' head it beats ktm in pickup n top end performance. So what we pay for is orange paint and a brand name that no one except an enthusiast recognizes. Mr daru ma have had a lil daru before conducting this test. LoL

ktm will have superior initial pickup but pulsar will have edge over ktm in topspeed.

Or if I've missed it..??

the new pulsar also looks similar to the honda cb300r, which is sold in south america.

nevertheless, its one of the most exciting bikes this year. interesting to see how yamaha and honda react to this, since r15 and the cbr duo are clear targets.

waiting for a mega comparo of these bikes!

Honda CB300R is powered by an air cooled 291cc, 4-valve double overhead camshaft, 4 stroke and single cylinder engine. This engine will give power about 26hp @7500rpm and a torque of 2.9 kgm at 6000 rpm. Equipped with Honda’s Electronic PGM-FI system, the 143kg bike (dry) will have big possibility to enter the European market considering this Honda’s FI make the engine green and passing the Euro emission regulation.

This is a definite design copy.
A total ripoff.

Extreme pulsarmania bro.. I have never experienced an internet hang like that. And never expected Bajaj would change the naked bike theory in India.

Liquid cooled is not Oild cooled. In LC engine, a jacket of coolant sorrounds the engine to cool it whereas in OC engine the Oil is passed through a series of pipe which which gets cooled due to flow of air hitting the pipe.

+1. Also notice the engine does not have any cooling fins as any air-cooled engines would have.

Notice the absence of cooling fins. This engine is a Liquid Cooled Engine rather than Oil Cooled

bajaj has assembled 200 ns taking design cues from other streetfighters.

what superior initial pick-up man...

BIKE----------0-60 TIMINGS------------0-100 TIMINGS
P200-----------3.XX---------------------9.XX
KTM200--------3.XX---------------------9.XX

Even if the 0.XX secs is 0.4 secs difference, does it justify Rs. 35,000/= extra..?? and that too when the FE far outweighs the 0.4 sec advantage. and mind it to extract that 0.4 sec advantage, you need to have sufficient skill.

Instead of calling it a CB300R rip-off, we might compare its face to this:

The mean, unfriendly neighborhood Decepticon is here!!

p200 0-60 timings are yet to be tested.ktm has power to weight ratio of 182bhp/ton compared to pulsar's 162bhp/ton.that explains its more initial pick-up.about the fe part ktm definitely loses.

**Thunder** · 01-30-2012, 11:49 PM

There is no Major Difference between both these,,,,,,
Pulsars have always been having the Technology of other Manufactures

So far we have seen the Pulsars had the Technology of Kawasaki
And now its gonna have KTM's Technology.......

The Brand is the Only difference between KTM and Pulsars, Do not compare Duke200 with Pulsar 200,,,,,,
They are same

KTM is in India really to sell their Bigger Bikes so KTM 200 is only a Initial Version,,,, we will see KTM350 and 690 Dukes will hit this year,,,,
Bajaj will also release a 150CC versions of the Same KTM Technology Engines,,,, in this year,,,,,

**kantu** · 01-30-2012, 11:49 PM

@Thunder For that to happen KTM 200 should be a success
then only they will bring in bigger bikes like Kawasaki Ninja !

Yes ! What bother s me is why did bajaj launch KTM along with KTM kinda bike ?

And more over KTM is a new brand not many people will trust.
There s a huge Pulsar fan base you can sell anything with a Pulsar tag on it ! Ex : P135
This will certainly hit KTM share of market and as well other bikes too

Like some one said ! glad to be part of this era

Announcement

Pulsar 200 NS Launched: 23.5 Ps, 200 CC, Liquid cooled.
