Does anyone know about the tires used in P200NS, are they Soft-Compound?

I guess it's some sort of unofficial booking. IDK the whole exact details but the price is what i told you.

Thanks for the info.


But i want to know the compression ratio of Pulsar 200 ns and which fuel is best suited for this bike ?

Also one look at the technical specs confirms that it is a highly stressed engine (23.5 bhp from a 200cc engine and THREE spark plugs!!) and due to this the ELF (Engine Life Factor = 100,000 divided by compression ratio x max rpm) of the NS would be much lesser than, say the Karizma's (17 bhp from a 223 cc motor). Any engine that has been squeezed to within an inch of it's life in order to extract maximum performance out of it shall not last as long as a low revving, relaxed engine (Q. Why do we see 40 year old Bullets still merrily thumping along? A. 18 bhp @ 5625 rpm from a 350cc block). But let's see what modern technology with ultra close engine tolerances does for the NS.

No offence to any one here
Just my share of knowledge
Bajaj does not have the tech to induct the charge and get it burned completely Unlike KTM with same cylinder head with 1 spark plug to hide this fact they have to introduce 3 spark plugs because of high compression ratio

to further strengthen the case if u remember the tumble flow induction sticker on CBZ xtreme which Honda has developed to induct the charge and for the flame to propagate and burn and extract the power from the charge. So how does KTM do it with the same specs?

KTM has racing genes while bajaj has no Racing History In India so they rely on either benchmarking or copying (no offense), racing ones product helps company in advancement of technology which sadly TVS has from a long time in Motocross in India but they could not capitalize on that front
Japanese,European manufacturers have been racing in one format or another and they are able to offer Incredible products because of the know how of highest level of tech in extreme environment against other competitors

yet Indians are fooled by Marketing gimmick and flashy things while the real thing is they just lag in every part of tech
P180 Fork issues were brushed away under the carpet, P150 Tank issues also hidden from mass media or was it hand in glove this is sadly killing Indian mentality right now we as biking brother hood should force them (any manufacturer) to give us proper product instead of following blindly
as we spend a lot of money to buy this products and any rightfully earned money should be worth spending instead of sulking later

Bajaj of course is Marketing gimmick if u can see they rely on outside world for tech while in house they just have a handful of knowledgeable people
Glynn Kerr who is a consultant, Yamaha India Ex CEO was also hired by them as a consultant,

Now if Bajaj categorised This so called Sports bike what will R15 be then Supersport bike? or if their new design philosophy is naked city bikes then FZ be categorized as what?

and am yet to hear any product from japanese/indian manufacturers apart from Bajaj which has injured or fatally damaged a rider who ride their bikes sadly Bajaj has complaints in this category.

peace i don't tend to offend anyone i like Bajaj but a substandard product is just not acceptable

News to rejoy...

: Bajaj Auto, the county's second-largest two-wheeler maker, will launch bigger and more powerful Pulsar and KTM motorcycle models in the 200cc to 700 cc range over the next few years to take on rivals Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki and build on its leadership position in the premium motorcycle space.

Bajaj aims to position the Pulsar in the value-for-money sports bike segment and Austrian partner KTM's motorcycles at the premium end of the market.

"We share the same development process with KTM, so you can expect there will be 'a much bigger Pulsar' next year, because we think the market is at an inflection point (at the premium end) and we are in a good position to take advantage with these two brands," managing director Rajiv Bajaj said.

Bajaj said the company will come out with 350cc Pulsar next year and it is exploring even bigger motorcycles under the Pulsar brand. "There will be a 350 cc Duke next year, so you can expect something similar with the Pulsar next year. And going forward, in 2014-15 there will be even bigger KTM and even bigger Pulsar," Bajaj said.

The company is gearing up with the capacity of 1 00,000 units at its Chakan plant to cater the new range of Pulsars and KTM motorcycles. On Monday, Bajaj unveiled its Pulsar 200 NS (naked sport), which will compete against Yamaha R15 and Honda CBR 250R. The motorcycle is likely to be priced below Rs 1 lakh.

The launch followed KTM bringing in its Duke 200 last week with a price tag of Rs 1.16 lakh. Both motorcycles have been jointly developed by Bajaj and KTM. The two companies are likely to jointly bring in 350 cc and 690 cc motorcycles under the Bajaj banner over the next few years. The joint R&D for vehicle and engine development will help the company to maintain the cost and help itself maintain a 20% EBIDTA margins

And the price positioning will be similar in bigger models for Pulsar and KTM, the Indian brand at the lower end and KTM at the premium end.

The next generation Pulsar motorcycles (200cc, 350 cc and above) will co-exist with the current range of Pulsars. With bigger motorcycles expected from the Japanese competition, experts say this Bajaj-KTM twin strategy should work for the company to cater to different end of the market.

Bajaj said the new motorcycles would help the company increase market share to 30-32%, from 26% now, as the market for premium-end motorcycles is expanding fast.

Experts say that with a rise in disposable income, the number of buyers will grow, but the segment will continue to be niche as the price bracket exceeds Rs 1 lakh.

"The market is growing, yet it forms less than 1% of the overall motorcycle market in the country. The sports bike category will continue to grow in double digits and there will be takers, yet it will form only 1%-2% of the market and it will be niche category, at least in the medium term," said Mahantesh Sabarad, auto analyst with Fortune Broking.

Bajaj Auto, which has an export turnover of nearly 6,500 crore with almost 1.5 million vehicles shipped annually sees the similar strategy being played out in the global markets too.

"I think this strategy of KTM-Pulsar acting together in the sports segment is a valid strategy anywhere in the world not just in India. We will look at leveraging this in many of our overseas markets in Latin America, Africa and South East Asia," said Bajaj.

Not like that actually, What about DTSi technology and ExhausTEC ??
Talking about tghis one, I guess it's world's first bike with 3-spark plugs...
How will Bajaj copy idea that really doesn't exist..!?

With all due respect on Bajaj,

We all know about Bajaj and KTM, yes the 125CC and 200CC were Jointly developed by Bajaj and KTM, while KTM had offered the "Know-How" part of the agreement.

Thanks for the info.
But i want to know the compression ratio of Pulsar 200 ns and which fuel is best suited for this bike ?
