    But even I'm finding the NS's seating accommodations a little cramped after the CBR.

    I never said cbr is any way less accomodating...im just saying that i didnt look on it....

    Both the bikes are quite comfortable for me....but i find ns slightly more comfortable....maybe thats due to more upright posture....

      And vibrations also play a vital role in riders comfort....in this department cbr is quite ahead of ns...

        Some misunderstanding there, I see, from both parties.

        I was just saying that the CBR's seat feels more spacious to me. There's more space for me to move my butt around.

        Looking good on a bike is a matter of preference. One may find one looks good on one, and another may find that he looks good on another.

        Both bikes are comfortable in the city, but I have yet to experience the NS's seat on a long ride.

        Definitely more flickable than the CBR, as I found out riding home just now.

            Short review after 3200 km.
            Today i completed 3200 km on my beauty. Bike is awesome so far with very small niggles here and there but no major issue. Did 3 rides of 250 km on highway+twisties. Four rides of 100 km on a bad road. When i was on DTSI oil,engine used to get harsh after 70-80 km of ripping and traffic ride ( no redlining) but on moutul it can easily tolerate 250 km of ripping + redlining + heavy stop and go traffic and still no harshness so moutul is a must for more awesomeness. On DTSI oil vibes were less and moutul seems to have increased the vibes especially after 8k-8.5k rpm.
            Overall bike is awesome and i am loving it. It looks menacing, handling and acceleration is awesome, comfortable on rides upto 250 km (this is the longest ride i had on NS )for both rider and pillion,cheap to maintain as paid service cost is near 300 without oil change, vibes are there but not deal breaker.

            Solution to some small issues
            Rear disc noise
            Ride your bike for a few km and do not use rear disc at all then touch your rear disc pad and see if it is hot. If yes, then go to service center and ask them for a replacement. If no, then don't do anything as opening the disc pad will finish the rear brake bite. My rear brake is gone because SVC opened and cleaned it.
            Weak horn
            Go to SVC and ask them to install one more horn. It will cost you near 350 including labor and NS will sound the way it should.
            Engine harshness in stop and go traffic or after long ride
            Switch to moutul 5100 T 15w50.

            Lastly i highly recommend a tyre upgrade because tyres are shit for emergency braking and will definitely lead to an accident in case of a mishap. R15 tyres are good for NS i guess.
            I am loving my NS

                  What exactly do you mean by "dual purpose"?

                  The Pirelli Sport Demons on my old bike copped well in all weather conditions, dry, wet, off road, if that's what you mean.

                  I have heard people speak very highly of Michelin Sirac as an all purpose tyre, though I'm not aware if there's a size available for the NS.

                    Congratulations on getting your bike back. I was not so lucky with my P220.

                    Anyway, while you were away I joined the NS owner's group.

                        People always cried about the rear end of Ns being very ugly, And I always told them that it wasn't the designers, but it was BAJAJ who f#ked rear look of bike SIMPLY by using that cheap silver colour assembly that holds rear indicators and no plate from 135 LS, that small part was taking away all the looks from bike.
                        Still don't believe me, look yourself and tell me.

                            I asked him this in Direft msg
                            Hey please answer if you have time. my bike isn't stolen I am just inquisitive
                            1 .Hey what city you live in ?
                            2. Did you need to keep on asking cops about your bike status ? Or they themselves contacted you when it was found.
                            3. Doesn't insurance company pay you bike money after its stolen if it isn't found by cops ? If yes then in how many months?
                            4. And what all court procedure you had to do ?
