@Ivin: They are comparing the new 200cc pulsar with P220 because P220 has been their most powerful and flagship model so far. And they want us know that how much different and improved this new pulsar 200 is over the P220, which is good!

+1, correct.... That is great and intunrs the achievement....

Some of the statements from Press by OverDrive (FB)

New pulsar is center of gravity teaching Bajaj the way forward "if pulsar goes wrong everything goes wrong" Rajiv Bajaj

Pulsar revolutionsed the market when it challenged the "fill it shut it forget it bike"...Bajaj taking potshots at Hero Motors...

So its better than the best...

In the below images red one is the P220 and blue one is the new P200 NS


Blue one will be beter around corners


This image shows how the blue one is more stable than the red one on a bad stretch of road


Hands off stability - The blue one keeps its line




Sadly I had to miss couple of slides including the power and torque curves as I was uploading images side by side from another room. More pics to follow now focussing mainly on the bike and its details

Thanks a lot Gaurab. By any chance did you guys have a video of the presentation even on mobile cam?
I would love to see it in Black.

+1 on that mate, was pissed off with the hand in hand comparo with the 200 NS

Clearly a Decepitcon in the making

@payeng, true mate, lol. But not to forget in some ways Bajju stole Jap's ideas!! Kwack kwack!! kwack kwack!!

So far so good. Design and spec are really good and at par with latest in industry. ABS/FI might have been excluded only to save on cost and can be put in if there is market demand, but sure they will be available in export models.

But what about after sale service? Now as PBK showrooms are to cater exclusively for KTM and Kawasaki prospective customer of this bike need to go to exisiting Bajaj dealerships only. So this will raise following points

1) Are the current Bajaj dealers capable in handling the new tech (perimeter frame, LC engine and .....) as adept as the PBK showrooms?
2) Will the customer get the premium service as he will pay a premium for the bike (wrt other bajaj models)
3) OR will the exisiting dealers create a new servicing line to cater new generation of vehicles with seperate staff for sales and service?
4) OR Bajaj has any plans to come with new concept showrooms which will be sandwiched between normal showroom and PBK showroom

MG/Sunny: Did Mr Bajaj speak on these issues?

Valid question. I guess, the P200NS will be serviced alongwith KTM & Ninja in PBK service stations. Only the present P200, P220 & Avengers will be removed from the "exclusivity" part.
OT: Wonder what will P220Fi owners, like me, will do

Any ideas on what all information the digital console displays? Like time, distance to empty, current economy etc.?

That Yellow color...ever felt any music piercing through your heart? Yeah.
