    Let us take an eg. Person A(say sankar) got heart transplantation done from Person B(say vijay). So you do not go and call saying sankar is actually vijay. or do you?

    In case of Pulsar the heart is not even completely Person B's. Since it has been jointly developed.
    what an example MJ

    well i think this time it's going to be like the game of 220 street and 220F. first 200 street and then some body kits and front uplifts to bring up a 200F.and may be with a FI.just coz the first FI 220 didn't go well.

    Is that specs (BOLDED) came some what close to the actual product??

    Seems to be good..!
    It may not be this one(P200 NS), coz the ones that were tested did not have rear disc facility.

    May or may not be..I'm just telling.

    Do you remember, when Bajaj first acquired stake in KTM back in 2008 or was it 2007, immediately they displayed Race & Stunt concepts based on 125cc engine, you think KTM developed them just like that? those were completely developed by Bajaj. Once they entered into a binding agreement, these products got push and they decided to develop bikes on this platform, when I say platform i'm talking about engine. Of course the chasis/frame used in Duke are from KTM, but in Pulsar Chasis/frame are different to that used in Duke. So, they share basic engine block, head is apparently different in both bikes and probably transmission.

    Oh yeah, reagrding your yardsticks.. Pulsar is more into creating categories rather than competing with existing ones. Perhaps you remember when P150 came in it did wipe out competition, but for bikes such as P135LS/P200NS there is no competition as they are unique. On price, you may end up comparing with some bikes, but on performance you again need to look for a different set for comparision.
    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.

    KTM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Know-how - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    I am not protesting against Bajaj, Honestly speaking Bajaj has raised the benchmark once again with this launch.

    How else would you explain this:

    Why couldn't the 23.5 Ps bike just zoom away from PrinceSirohi's 13.5 Ps Pulsar 150 UG3?
    exactly, so the one i was chasing was either a 125 or a 135

    What i though believe that the bike #princesirohi encountered could be new 135 with bored out 125 engine.that way you get better performance and u retain the segment.
    BAL had an option to bore out KTM200 engine to 220 or 250 CC, but they didn't do it and used the KTM200's block as it is.

    SO -->

    it might be possible that there will be a Pulsar 125NS and not 135, and it will use the block of KTM125. and may come without rear disk as seen on test bike to keep the costs down and affordable.

    btw, i wanna know, will there ever be a P 250 FS in this year.??

    And I remember the zigwheels article saying that "this one(the one that Varad tested) was handcrafted and not mechanically fitted"..

    Does this mean that these (200 NS) are not tested to it's maximum capacity ?

    If Bajaj continues to produce such products then the day is not far when Bajaj will overtake HMC as the largest bike manufacturer in India and will certainly gain tons of respect in India as well as abroad.

    Kudos Mr. Rajiv Bajaj!!

    + 100000 to that... Amen...!!!
