Now thats a good short term review. Nothing exaggerating in it.
Post some pics bro, and kee us updated with your riding experience...

Initial Impressions

Been to Kalyani Motors, Mekhri Circle, Bangalore for the test ride. I was absolutely stunned looking at the beast. My initial impressions, Firstly I did not feel any vibrations on the bike. The vehicle felt weightless and easily flickable once you are on the bike. The acceleration builds up slowly, this shows more maturity in the pull of the vehicle. Extremely happy with Bajaj moving on from TVS motors(Apache RTR). Ended up 10 minutes on the bike, those 10 minutes is close to impossible to describe. Infact, I asked the the person accompanying for Test ride to ride and I accompanied him as a pillion. The vibrations on the foot pegs are slightly noticeable. I am 5'6, felt a little uncomfortable balancing the vehicle on both legs.

I also spoke to manager regarding the payments, tentative delivery etc. The price is Rs.100182 + 900(Smart Card, HSIP, RTO Charges). The delivery will commence from last week of this month or first week of August. Bangalore XBHPians please comment on your deliveries too. I wanted to know because some member had posted that Kalyani Motors missed out on the first lot of the vehicles. Would want to ensure that I am not delivered late.
Also left a feedback too.

@Chintan- Bro, my previous insurer was Bajaj Allianz, I have accumulated my No Claim bonus for the last four years. What would be the procedure for claiming NCB.
TIA

spot on first impression... More so coz you are coming from apache... Which color you going for?

Going with the Blue, because the dual tone is highly noticeable in broad daylight. I feel yellow is too flashy (No Offence, personal choice). How about you?

Thanks for the valuable response. As you raised this point I would like put few questions/suggestions
1) Do the two wheeler manufacturers send seperate test ride bikes to showrooms?
2) What are the guidelines issued/followed by manufactures in this respect
3) Can we as a forum come out with few suggestions and forward it to the manufacturers. We have lot of senior people in this forum whose knowledge and experience can be leveraged for this. Also some members also came out with suggestions which can be reviewed.

I would suggest that test bikes should be in distinct colour / labelled as test ride bikes just like we see in four wheelers. Customers should take test ride only in such bikes and should reject the test ride if others bikes are offered.

@Chennai NS ians, got a call from kln Anna Nagar just now telling that the bike is on display in all colour variants and that the delivery will start within 10 days. Bajaj is going to put some function for inauguration of 200 NS in Chennai and the delivery will start after that.. Pained right now because wool be in hosur till Thursday, hence can't see my beauty earlier than that. :banghead::banghead::banghead:

Great suggestion ,this would make sure that a innocent buyer doesnot get cheated by a greedy showroom owner .

I am going for a yellow one


Thanks for posting your test ride experience
even i will leave in 20 mins for the same and post my experience back

And i am planning for either yellow(1st preference) or blue

Oh man, what all taxes does hyd and bang govt charge. other places it is ~95k and here it is around 1.05k
ANother small incident that happened couple of days back. One of my friend was asking if there is any new big bike (bigger than unicorns and cbzs) coming up these days and my first answer was 200ns. then another friend just said 'dont go for bajaj bikes they are not good for long run'. when will people understand that times have changed (btw, i was also not a big fan of pulsar earlier)

Yeah it helps a bit.
My wife has to be very carefull with the saree while sitting as a pillion

Hi Rahul, a lot of factors (including fate) led to me booking the Pulsar 200 NS!

Test Rides being given at Khivraj Bajaj, Kasturba Road I'm lucky because my office is right next door! There are two bikes for the TD - a blue and a red. Initial impressions:

• Super comfy riding position!
• Very free and quick revving engine
• Gearbox is completely un-Pulsar like.
• No vibes as such, just a slight buzz in the handlebars (which should be completely normal)
• Brakes are quite fantastic
• Quite a silent engine, though I heard the funny 'loose tappet' engine rattle that seems to be part and parcel (meaning normal) of this new Pulsar

First lot to be delivered around July 26th. When I booked yesterday, there were already 180 bookings taken by Khivraj across all their outlets. On-road in Bangalore is Rs. 1,00,481/-

Here are a few mobile cam pics of the display bikes.

Bro as per my knowledge On Road price in Bangalore is 1,00,482 /- as per the Bajaj khivraj Indiranagar including insurance,RTO and smart card charges and the basic accessories which include the small leg guard,saree guard,mirrors but not the center stand...and dat too will cost around 200 as per the showroom guy..
I went there on Sunday and had a good look at BuMbleBee and since it was not launched officialy so couldnt test ride it.. But hopefully i can go back tomrrow or day after and drive my soon to be New found Love..
The bike looks amazing in flesh but i am still confused between the YELLOW,RED & BLUE..
And yes Deliveries will start from tomorrow and since i have made the booking almost a month ago i can get it within 10 days the day i make further payment which i havent done yet...

@Rohan_200ns....dude cut the crap against the bike..it is far better than Duke...i had a test ride of KTM but didnt like it much..and PLZ its a request change your name..dnt carry ds 200ns tag..dosent suits you at all..Just clear up your mind first and then decide..you are so lost and confused..TREAT THE BIKE THE WAY IT SHOULD BE TREATED...and yes plz telme the colour and chassis no. of the bike you blasted..i dont want to be that unlucky owner..i just love my bike toooo much and know how to care..i have Driven the bikes which you just imagine in your dreams...

nice final choice.. the cbr would not have satisfied you. as you were going from an r15..same here have an r15 nothing satisfies me, but this pulsar is tempting..
