congo man... Which color? Pics please... P180 in 2008, p200ns in 2012 and just 7 posts in 4 years.... lol..

He would have been busy riding.. cruising

Just saw the bike yesterday at Khivraj Head-Office Museum Road OFF Mg road, Bangalore. Its not kept in display, but covered and kept safely above. According the showroom person, Launch date in Bangalore is fixed at 26th JUL and deliveries will start from 27th JUL.

It looks like each bike comes default with bike Cover. Yellow looks really good, and NS is the best looking bike in this range.

At owners: is there any timing chain and tappet noise from the engine? Coz duke owners are complaing of timing chain and tappet noise and ktm guys are saying its normal.... Any inputs?

Yeah i get a very distiguished sound which i think is the tappet noise.
Will get it checked at SVC this weekend

Guys please suggest me some good chain cleaner liquid and chain lube.

Bangalore Guys..!!

@Bangalore Guys.. Any update on test ride in Kivraj and when is the launch in Bangalore??

My two cents worth review

Hi All,
I have already posted the pics of my bumblebee. I was totally amazed when i had first read the zigwheel review of this bike. They had given it 9.5 stars. That is a lot of stars and I wondered whether zigwheels was biased. But later i saw the same type of comments from many reviewers (including an awesome review from xbhp) and was convinced that these reviews were quite genuine.
I wanted a bike that looks very good and has a good ride quality. Primary purpose was commute to office which is 15Km one way. Occasionally i would take my family (5year old daughter and wife) for a short fun ride.
I had shortlisted 3 bikes. Honda CBR 150r, Duke and P200NS.
My heart is still with Honda CBR 150r. Loved the looks and ride quality but it did not pull well with a pillion in city traffic. Also felt that it is Honda's arrogance to price it higher even while offering cheaper dashboard.
I absolutely loved Duke for its looks and the fun part in its ride. It is a hooligan to the core. But i had to drop it because of the small pillion seat and also because it felt small. My hands were angled like a engineering drafter while riding on it and i didn't like it.

P200NS felt just right for me. It pulls very well. I love the stares that i get whenever I am on it. It looks premium from whichever angle you look at it. Has a long front seat for me and my daughter and a big enough pillion seat. It corners very well and I always feel like it wants me to do more with it whenever i took test ride. It is a biggish bike. I am 6 foot and the seat height is just perfect for me.

Disadvantages: 1. Bike does not turn at short angle. It might be a little uncomfortable manoeuvring it out of a tight parking space. 2. The engine got heated very quickly when i was stuck in 1st and 2nd gear in very slow moving traffic for a long time. It eased out when i picked up speed.

Thanks for listening to my story. Happy riding.

Spotted the Yellow 200NS in the Khivraj service center on the second floor. Seems like registration is already done.

Thank you soo much for finding time to tell your happy story!!
And.. please post some more pictures.. if possible!!

Good choice buddy and this is the way to look at it. I know there are certain people around, who own a certain bike and if anyone technically critices some aspect(s) of the bike they own, they get too defensive, take it personally, and go ballistic over the person expressing an opinion. In a way that is good as they entertain the crowd around by their antics and fanaticism .

Congrats to you on making a choice and I hope certain guys, owning another bike arent taking my supporting this choice as a negative for their beloved bike.

Try Motul Chain Clean & Chain lube spray they are the best, you can also try OKS brand too.

+1 to this

Thank you buddy..will try them out!

No Updates.. Probably it will be on display in the showrooms by Tuesday... (17th)...( As conveyed by Show room Guys)

Caption we could give for this

“BEST BIKE BUT....WORST LAUNCH"
