first indian bike with monoshock was unicorn.

More pics - Camera Mobile Pics

my words are in bold.

Dying to see a mechanic looking for the 2 extra spark plugs.

10/10 for the desi media for making fools of them selves once again, gave me and many others a good giggle.

Still the bike looks neat, first Indian bike with a mono shock, not enough for me to get excited about, we still need a proper intermediate class of bikes, with between 40-60 hp, hoping bajaj and others will make that step sooner, rather than later.

Superb machine this launched by BAL! The build quality looks top notch. Color looks classy and some of the features like triple spark are head spinning. And Excellent pics Gaurab AKA MG

But somehow I felt this move by Bajaj is really confusing. They launched Duke 200 with join venture with KTM which is a 200 CC machine with everything new about it looks and all gizmos in the console and then they come with P200NS which again is 200 CC machine. What is purpose of launching of 2 machines with same cubic capacity and with almost same power and torque figures?

If they would wanted to launch KTM then why didnt they launch Duke 125 instead of Duke 200?

Are they competing internally with KTM? I dont think so. If it would have been 250 CC machine then I would not have had any questions like it in my mind, then for me it would have been like: KTM Duke 200 is R15 v2.0 killer (I know pretty lame comparison but cant help it ) and Pulsar 250 would be a CBR killer, as simple as that. Now? P200NS is KTM Duke 200 killer or P220F killer? (No I am not starting any new discussion here, just a thought)

Price difference? I dont think P200NS would be any cheaper in cost. Is it?

Well this leaves us (Happy customers) with loads of choices to choose the machine.

PS: I am pretty sure soon we are going to see war between P200NS, R15v2.0, Duke 200, CBR250R in the 'What bike?' forum.

Cheers!

i think the pic depicts how change of frame aids in more cornering thus eliminating the stiffness of bike at corners.

I cudnt understand the "frame stiffness in corners" pics ... can anybody explain if he has understood them correctly?

Top notch pictures MG. Thank you. As expected from you.

Did you saw that mentioned blue and black color bikes?
Blue one will look HOT..! I Think..!

And in some previous post, it'll be priced around 30K less than DuKE. So 1.17 -0.30 = 85-87 approx.

May be 75 Ex show room and 85 OTR..!

Waiting for bookings to start..!

tentative launch in april.

Great Pics Mg, So when bike will be Available in showroom?

Yup...looks like it is a 3 month waiting period. on-road in bangalore is 1.38 L. Way to screw KTM.

But yeah...no guarantee that the pulsar will have any less of a waiting period given all this hype.

yes, i don't think P200NS will have a waiting period of more than 30 days, coz BAL has a history of delivering the pulsars faster than competition. it is one of there strategies to beat the competition. this way you can always snatch 5-10 % more customers.

Great pics MG !!
Any chance you can get the power and torque curves details?
Maybe somebody else has recorded that.

^^^ so are u expecting the P200NS to have any less waiting period than 3 mnths when launched?

The front mudguard has dual tone! If and only if they had the racing lines on this bike it would look so much more hotter! but then there is nothing that the local vinyl shop cant do!
