So, the numbers quoted by Rohan sometime ago are actually in wet condition for P200NS vs dry condition numbers for Duke 200!!Let's bring down the monster of corruption to it's knees.. please visit http://ipaidabribe.com/ -
so what are the actual figures in dry conditions of both the bikes.?Comment

This thread seems to have degenerated a lot in recent pages. and 39 kmpl at 120+ on a duke sounds slightly suspect to me. I did a few high speed runs in bangalore and 120+ was unbearable due to the wind blast. The fuel bars disappeared rather quicker than what has been suggested above.Comment

Hey Guys, My 1st post here, with sheer enthusiasm...
The current topic is rather interesting, about the number plates, but I guess we all have to bear it here cuz of the rules & regulations. Though I believe too that some opts to the owner of how to have it on his/her bike would've been much better.
Coming to the bikes, I have yet to upgrade from my LS & have pretty much made up my mind on the Duke 200
Though I was looking at the price & mileage preference at 1st for certain reasons, Duke flushed it all outta me in all the few test runs I've had. I am actually a fan of the fully fair sports bikes, but I will be involved in city riding most of the time, so I guess agility matters. & Duke offers more than just that. Not denying the capabilities of NS either, but there's this thing ( I hope u get what I'm trying to relate here :P ) about the Duke. Plus I have really grown over the Indian Manufactured bikes & wanna get on to the next level with the European hearts as of now
No offense to any mates, but pls fill me in with ur views..
Ride Fair, Ride Hard...
Live & Learn, Love Thee Ride...

I would like to quote Ron Chinoy from rddreams about three spark plugs.He summed it up nicely.
Plugs and sparks are a bit like dicks. Id rather have one big one with a solid Punch. Then 3 small ones with weak punches.Comment

That point should apply to no. of cylinders too. Isn't it? So please confirm from this person if he considers a single cylinder to be superior to multi.Originally posted by amardeep2006 View PostAdvice is a form of nostalgia.

Once again... are you sure? Both are cylindrical in shape and have a hemispherical head at one end.Originally posted by aargee View PostBut Antz...cylinder is not the shape of a dick, it must be something else ROTFL
Leaving the OT behind, the entire point was, triple spark tech is cheap and low tech (like a simple wooden pencil). FI is not low tech (hence compared with an Astronaut's pen). Can we all agree at least to this bit?Advice is a form of nostalgia.

from what I had learned of the DTSi sequence, only one spark plug sparks for the entire RPM range while the second one works for a limited RPM range....Bajaj use more than one spark plug for the purpose of reducing Emission, and the delayed specific RPM use of a second spark plug is innovative. I believe the Three spark system is also something similar...Originally posted by antz.bin View Post
Even Honda has dual spark in it's car engines ,and Duke is also following the same....No point in comparing with Fi since they both are dissimilar .When Was The Last Time,You Did Something For The First Time.Comment

About the bit in bold, I am not inter-comparing. I was talking in isolation.Originally posted by psr View Post
But can we compare 'triple-spark + carb + sohc' vs 'single-spark + FI + DOHC' as systems? Both of them do the exact same things (feed fuel, control valves, burn charge) . But thats not the point of this thread so please do not indulge in this discussion. It has already been discussed elsewhere.Last edited by antz.bin; 11-26-2012, 01:15 PM.Advice is a form of nostalgia.

As a NS owner her i will try to put a Unbiased view.
Have ridden both P220 with dual spark plug, and my NS with a set of triplets!!
When u ride the bike at whatever speeds, one can never feel if the third pulg is actively working or not, however for the NS specifically there is a slight brust of power at over 7K range. but i don't think it has anything to do with the third plug.
However, bajaj never claimed it will add in performance, but will help in better burning of fuel, and there by adding in the efficiency.
and this i can surely say that mileage figures of the NS are quite stunning.!! (comparing to other bikes with a 200cc heart and having 23.5 bhp of power)
although a few are getting as low as 25-30kmpl, but a majority of them are getting 40-50kmpl. (I am getting 45kmpl)
and i can vouch that a very few of them (one of them being my friend) have got 65+kmpl for some stretches on the highway!!!!!!!!!!!
SO if one compares the mileage figures with other similar mills having similar power band, it can certainly be told that the 3rd spark plug is not JUST A MARKETING GIMMICK!!sigpicRelationships change, evolve, and it goes deep.
Only thing I can say - "The storm is coming"Comment

Well I am all for this mandate. But not everyone in India is mature enough to pay extra for this tech. Majority of the people need their 'cheaper option'. But my only point was, if it does a *satisfactory* job, its good enough IMO.Originally posted by satyenpoojary View PostAdvice is a form of nostalgia.

Cant see any of the interesting posts here?
Do we conclude every other opinion is best tagged as OT and showed under the carpet?

Any one think we can get better torque,if shorter gearing is installed?Will make more justice to street fighter nature of NS.Originally posted by rahuldevnath View Post"Vibes transmitted from crank shaft to frame, then through the bearings of the head stock and into the stem where it meets the triple clamp and into the clip-ons where it is greeted with great pleasure by my hands"-ratfighter mod rtrComment
