Don't care about projector head lamps or any other missing stuff coz we can fix them aftermarket very easily.
Don't care about Fi too on a 200cc

Please give us ABS atleast as an option!!!

I know bajaj will add ABS to P200NS in couple of years as an upgrade but we want it in 2012 atleast as an optional expensive upgrade. KTM using Bosch ABS, so you have nothing to invent. Just make it as an additional option to make this the perfect bike of all.

If you're talking about KTM duke specifically, it doesn't have ABS either! Not for now atleast.

Okay, use your accurate Yardstick and tell me what are the bikes that fall in the same segment as P200NS?

Any why is Mr Bajaj announcing that the new P200NS will compete with R15 and CBR250? Hope they are all in different segments?

The point is, even with those breath taking pricing/power/mileage figure on papers the P135 was merely like another XCD135 in market.

Lets see how the P200 sustains.

Looks like a lot of folks don't know this.
Bajaj owns a big chunk of KTM.
Bajaj is bigger than KTM. Bajaj earns more than KTM. Bajaj sells more than KTM. Bajaj > KTM.
Bajaj put millions of dollars in KTM. It's because of bajaj, ktm has class leading products such as Duke 125 and 200 (who initially started as stunt 125 and race 125 on paper).

Lol People think of this as Hero and honda relationship. Hero is not the owner Honda. But Bajaj IS one of the owner of KTM. Bajaj put a millions of dollars in KTM and in trade they are getting tech and know how, nothing unfair.

Apple sources most of the components from Samsung and LG. Dell uses hard disks from seagates. Tata safari feature digital clock which is mainly made by Samsung. Asus graphics cards use chipsets from nVidia and AMD. German Skoda and VW imports CKD from Mexico and sell them here as German cars. All BMW Bikes use gear bikes which is made by Hero Moto Corp. Corollas and Almost all other old Jap cars started their life by reverse engineering German/europium cars. Intel used AMD chipsets and sold as Geniune Intel mobo. All apachi engines are suzuki fiero at the core. All use bearings from SKF. Motorola sources display from Samsung.

Nobody in this world makes products from ground up. Most of the times companies are dependent on competating companies for raw parts. It was like in 2000 AD they used to make products from scratch.

It's just pure business. Here I'm not a fan of Bajaj's but a rational person.

@sefanm: get the facts right before posting rubbish. Keep the quality of forum.

Looks like we have too many minors between us.

It seems some of us expected bajaj to launch a 250cc motorcycle. Why? I personally believe that creating a 200cc motorcycle is the right approach from bajaj as the first motorcycle in the series of motorcycles based on KTM engine. Creating the motorcycle of same cubic capacity with KTM 200 engine as the base would have less development cost and less risks for bajaj. A bigger engine would have increased the development cost and risk factors as well. Please correct me if i am wrong. So going for pulsar 200 NS is a safer bet. Pulsar 200NS will also be a learning experience for bajaj and will tell them how does it fare in day to day conditions after it starts to sell. There are several "firsts" in NS for bajaj so they have can't take too much risks with their first "all new" pulsar. And as Rajiv Bajaj has himself hinted clearly that bigger pulsars will come along with technical collaboration with KTM, what's the worry?
