Speedo will be disconnected most probably, so less chance to know. But tires are the safest bet. Check the center patch for marks.

Guess Shiba you are pretty regular in xbhp...now as I feared always the service issue of Bajaj came out once more...and yaa you need to have some raport with the service guys they will let u in for sure ...thats how I do it...

Another two ways to know if you are getting a test drive piece is to check excessive wear on both front and rear discs.

As for anyone who test ride a P200NS, please take note of the VIN on the test drive mules and post it here so people can compare them with the VIN of the bike they are getting and therefore making sure is not a test drive piece.

I apologise for the red colored text, is just so people see it more easily and benefit from the info.

Cheers.

This just keeps getting better and better!! I mean seriously... what are we dealing here with??

@Rohan : You red lined a "fresh bike from the stock" in dense traffic... kudos and congos!! You just ruined a brand new engine.. and from now own anyone who test rides the bike with that same engine.... would have the same observations that you had. Believe me that's not you fault at all.... in India where we have the "sab chalta hai" mentality, the dealers are giving fresh motorcycles to be test ridden... such things are bound to happen.

Engine Heating up!! Are we speaking any sense here at all!! Ever tried to understand why this might happen to a new engine?? Is that an issue at all?? We all think if there's a new bike, it can be gang raped from day one and the bike like a hooker would be eager waiting for the next dude to come and bang her (Sorry to go way overbord but really this is getting high now). A barnd new engine.. needs time to set in. Forget about the engine.. every nut and bolt, the rubber of the tyre need their time to set in. People take brand new motorcycles to do test reviews and test rides and come with all sorts of observation and here people have been using these bikes for more than 10k km and not having a single such observations, people taking NS to Leh and coming with a cosmic grine on their face... and here were are having RTR defying vibes!! I would say... we should consider ourselves lucky since the pistons didn't shoot out of the blocks!!

The dealers should always give properly runned in motorcycles for Test rides, but in Indian scenario where there is a billion population after an apple, I guess, that would be a very absurd scenario.

Please people give respect to the new engine. Just because of the fact that the NS is a new platform from Bajaj does not been it can be trashed and it won't complain. Do the same thing on a S1000RR or a R1 and see for your self what happens next

aur yeh laga sixer... Kudos bro... u showed the true biker spirit.. hats off

Ho... what the mess was happened back night..!!!!
Thank you for closing that up Antz bro..!!

And thank you for Kirsh2778 and leodj29 for that info. Will surely check for those..

Today is the launching day in here Kerala.... can't wait to see it in flesh.... but College is keeping me away... ... I will/must be the first one to bring NS to my college..

Thanks buddy this helps .

@rohan200NS.. The above quotes says it all.
It was really sick of you rip a new bike like that. U very well knew that those were not test riding bikes. even if u give the excuse of "SPORTS BIKE", and test riding means thrashing the bike at the fullest, then u should have waited the test bikes to be registered by the dealer, and not do it on the bike which u very well know that will be owned by some1 else.

2) None of the reviewers claimed it to be the upgrade of P220, its a much better bike than the previous generation Pulsars and accelerates way faster.

After last night's mayhem a post from my side is needed
1) Any new bike redlined will get heated and will emit smokes. The burning smell will also come by default. Ideally all the dealers(stands for all manufacturers) should have a test ride vehicle which is properly run-in(500kms) before giving it for test ride.
2) None of the reviewers claimed it to be the upgrade of P220, its a much better bike than the previous generation Pulsars and accelerates way faster.
3) The top five things about this bike are 1) handling, 2) handling, 3) handling, 4) 0-100 performance 5) overall riding comfort
4) I'm not going into the discussion of whether there was vibration or not, can be a result of multitude of reasons. What I can say with conviction is that 9/10 bikes will have zero or negligible vibrations

sir , seriously hand on heart i felt all the vibes after 6000rpm .. i even pointed it out to the people around and they accepted it .. another xbhp member was also with me and even he agreed .. the vibes were from foot pegs , handle and side panels .. i was surprised to feel the vibes from side panes and quite a bit of vibes from the perimeter frame ... we later verified it with the other bike too and it was the same .. we then compared it with a karizma as well .. karizma has a little bit of handle vibration at idling but smoothens out when the engine is decently revved ... foot pegs are very weak and they flex very easily with even a slight bit of effort ..
