    its only the electricals... major manufacturers also have defects in their products, which is absolutely normal...

    the platform as such has been succesful

    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.

    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.
    ^^well bro, for that matter, even KTM's pick-up and top speed is untested. both KTM200 & P200's performance figures are as provided by BAL & as quoted by xbhp. none are tested till date by any third party.

    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
    for answer to your above question, i have a theory, which u missed in earlier pages.... read below...

    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.

    Talking about KTM, common guys, it has got inverted forks, aluminium swing-arm, bosch Fuel Injection system, Trellis frame, 150 section tyre etc which NS dont have , so it justifies its price.

    to justify the price, you don't need these hi-fi things, all you need is performance gain which is "measurable"- and mind it- till date both the bikes are untested. those were just first impresions.

    Well on topic, is this bike track reliable? ZigWheels say good handling, but does this makes it the best handler among Indian made bikes? (duke 200 apart, trellis should make it the best in handling.)best handling bike is still R15... i think

    Dont be so sure Dude. I am sure with the new Chasis, and new dynamics, it may prove otherwise. Lets wait for the actual thing to hit the roads before shooting off.

    Triple spark? I hope it doesn't have too many demerits. But its liquid cooled without fairing... so maybe... whatever!

    One thing that has caught my attention is its name: Pulsar 200 Naked Sports. Does it mean that a faired version is in pipeline?
    this has got a carb n the duke has fi

    bulky in terms of weight. there must be only a handful of bikes sold in india which weigh below 140kgs.. pulsar 135 and r15 is the only one i can remember off-the-bat... anyone can chip in?

    and reliablity issues would have cropped up in the duke 125 batches, since the same ppl produce it

    additional sparkplug can reduce emissions and increase efficiency

    Duke to Pulsar NS is what Galaxy SII is to Iphone 4S. one is mass market other is exclusive!

    CBR comparison: its definitely no ripoff.it has its own exclusive design elements.

    The build quality from these pics atleast looks top notch.Honda level.Definitely a step in right direction for bajaj.

    The front looks hot.Yellow color is smoking.Though i dint like the tail much.doesn't go well with aggressive front part.

    Kudos to Mr Rajiv Bajaj.He is the Steve Jobs of Indian Motorcycle Industry!

    BTW does all liquid cooled bikes come with External Oil filter??

    My 2 paise....
    I dont agree with you about built quality. Honda is not anywhere near where they where 5 years ago.
    Mr.Rajiv knows what Indians want.
    I completely agree with your mobile comparisons. Great.

    [*]Bulky at 145Kgs for a Naked[*]Reliablity 'doubts' associated with a 'new' platform


    On a serious note, will the performance/efficiency increase with every additional spark plug? Then why are mfg's round the world are not stuffing as many spark plugs they can??


    I am disappointed that only one model and not the entire 2012 Pulsar lineup got unveiled today.

    All said, I am very sure that the Pulsar was/is/and will be a VFM product that will seduce you with it's affordable power biking for masses!

    Yup. Lets hope it is as good as the writer puts out to be. Anyways, as with any new release, will wait for atleast 6-8 months after the bike hits the road. Until then my Joeled 220 is in service.

    My 220 Dtsi, was the 2nd bike from Pune when it was launched, and I must say it has been comparatively less niggle free as against earlier Bajaj models.

    Hope it is even better this time.
    I am definitely confident that this one is gonna be a lot lot better, as the bike is basically a KTM engine wearing pulsar clothes, check the engine specs, everything is ditto duke, Bajaj has even chosen the underbelly exhaust of the Duke200. The only diff things are the extra spark plugs and SOHC. This bike is gonna set the charts on fire for sure .

    I am interested in knowing how many people who has initially opted for the Duke 200 will go in for this one.
