Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Wrong. Speed is mentioned as > 80. So it must 85.

Somehow I think this r25 looks better (from far at least) than actual R25.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Hi Indian brothers! I live in Istanbul and hopefully will get my Pulsar in June 6th. I made an earnest payment but you never know,
because the initial demand for Pulsars overwhelmed the supply capacity of the dealers.

By the way, I'm going to pay 7300 + 600 (extra charges for a new motorcyle) Turkish liras for my Pulsar 200NS.
I believe it's equivalent to 2.2 lakhs in Indian rupees (See, I am pretentiously trying to use the lakh system.
I know it sounds too much but get this, the price of the Duke 200 was more than twice. I heard they marked it down a little
after Pulsar's arrival.

Likewise, Honda CBR 250 and CBR 125's current prices are about 3.8 and 2.5 lakhs.

And yes, they say that the 200NS for the Turkish market comes with fuel injection.
But I won't be sure until I see it with my own eyes.

I plan to install a top case and two side cases (hard cases with locks) as soon as possible.

Congrats and all the best

Not kidding, how much does a litre of petrol cost you (in your local currency) ?
And also the same about a 500ml (or 1.5l) bottle of coca-cola/pepsi ?

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Good question

Gasoline costs too much: 5 liras per litre = 2.4 USD = 140 INR

I'm not a soda drinker but let me google that... 1.5 litre for about 2 liras = 1 USD

And since you guys seem to be obsessed with Motul:

Motul 5100 = 36 liras or 1000 INR
Motul 7100 = 40 liras

By the way, I like Mobil 1 Racing 4t 15w50 much better than Motul. But that one is expensive too: 35 liras.
I plan to use Castrol Power 1 Racing 10w50 blended with some Mobil 1 in my Pulsar. Castrol is cheaper: About 25 liras or 700 INR per litre.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Congrats on your purchase, we too are eagerly waiting for you to get your bike since you would get a fuel injected one. We would love to know your experience with the FI bike.
BTW could you tell me how much a blue collar worker makes a day in your place? That will help me to understand the prices there better. Here a liter of petrol costs 75 rupees and the average income of a day laborer is 150 rupees.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Pl excuse the pics taken with my mobile. Does not do justice to the brightness but will give you an idea.
Any comments from experts are welcome.

Low Beam - In my Parking: As you can see, Projector is LHD; Projector is rotated clockwise so that the cutoff dips a little on the Right side and hence will not blind on coming traffic in Lo beam.

Hi Beam

Lo Beam on road - As you can see the White Washed wall on left is bright while the greenery on the Right visible only below the cutoff

Hi Beam on road.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Vay, dostum, merhaba. Cok sasirttin beni :-)

Actually I got a sympathy and curiosity towards India since I've read the book "Bir Dunyanin Esiginde" (At the Doorstep of a World)
by great Turkish thinker Cemil Meric.

They market Bajaj as Bajaj here :-)
Here's the website: Bajaj Motorlar . Three models are being sold here: Pulsar 200NS, Boxer 150 and Discover 125 ST.

The brand Hero has entered the Turkish market in 2014 with Bajaj too: Hero Motor
But it seems Bajaj has kind of eclipsed them.

TVS brand was already in Turkey since 2005 with their flagship Apache 150. Tvs Motor Trkiye - Apache - Wego - sotlar Grup - HBI Motor
Apache 150 has been very popular here, especially among the courriers.
Currently it seems to be third most popular courrier motorcycle after Honda CBF 150 and Yamaha YBR 125.

Legal minimum wage is 850 liras whic is about 24 thousand rupees I believe.
So, daily income comes to 28 liras or 780 rupees.
But the minimum wage rule is not always respected.
Wages for informal labour may get lower.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

The day labourer numbers can be extremely misleading. I speak that from experience. Its the purchasing power you need to be concerned with. Compare something thats not considered luxury (say a bottle of coke or a traditional meal in a normal hotel) versus a standard (say gold or gasoline )

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Here in Delhi, unskilled Labour (picking up.bricks, etc) is minimum 400₹ for 10-6 pm and 750₹ for skilled work (like brick setting etc)

0-60 in 3.02 sec. Awesome..

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Is that AES G1? Looks good but the cut-off is not upto my taste, I used to disassemble Morimoto Mini 2.0 to shape the cut-off to my preference but since Morimoto 3.0 the projector body is riveted which makes it a hassle to open up the body.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

Its the Morimoto Mini H1. The cutoff probably just needs a small nudge at the shield, but even then its pretty decent already. The more jarring feeling is the tilt that he has put intentionally since the projector is a LHD type.

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

So im having a big problem with my NS. I was trying to overtake a guy and noticed another vehicle coming from the opposite direction. I had just accelerated and to slow down i hit the brakes a bit and veered to the left back into my lane. I must have been doing about 60, but when i braked, the back tyre slipped and went out of line. At first I thought this is because i was wearing shoes (kind of impairs judgement as to how much you press the brakes, as i usually ride with slippers or sandals) and i went a bit too hard on the rear brake, but after a while, when i approached a turn and was doing 65 i rapidly engine braked and the same happened again. This is really scaring me as if the roads had been wet i wouldve had a nasty fall. Im going to ride slowly till the monsoon is over but ive decided that i must get the tyres changed. My question is that is this normal? The tyre going out of line on engine braking?
Also, a while back i had noticed a great discussion on which tyre to choose, with one of the members giving great advice on what to get, but this article has about 1.6k pages and i really dont want to go through all of them. Could someone tell me the page number? (I kinda remember his profile pic, he was wearing sunglasses and was from the south, maybe bangalore)

Re: Pulsar 200 NS Owners Review and Experiences

[MENTION=69153]elemeNt_rush[/MENTION] yeah, the tire of 200 NS is not that great. Get R15 V2's rear tire and call it a day.
