    Since i do not own any other bike, i can only go on Saturday. I think you guys might not be that patient.. So you please proceed without me. And also the manager specifically asked to come in and around Lunch time...
    So.. There you go..

    Did the official launch take place yesterday ? Any links or pics fellahs.
    Ok, sorry that you could not come till SAturday. no idea sir about the launch and pics.

      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.
      Look at the yellow... BUMBLEBEE
      sigpic
      Drive Carefully...
      It is not only the bikes that can be recalled b
      y the maker!

                always remember to check the bike in every rev range during test ride ..
                the owners are riding it carefully at lower revs ,, so they have not yet felt the vibes ..
                the test ride bikes at popular bajaj bannerghatta road were unregistered and had their speedo disconnected ( tacho was working ) .. they might deliver it to someone like a new bike .. avoid buying black and blue here ... blue one was royally thrashed by me
                let me introduce myself to the new xbhp members here (prospective NS owners )
                First let me say I am not a DUDE
                I am a dumb guy, i guess I even don't have the sensation of touch hence cannot feel any what-you-call vibes... sometimes I ask myself "Do I deserve to enjoy the company of such experienced and seasoned rider ?" And I guess this so-called-experienced-rider was the reason I stopped posting in this thread. Agreed that I am an Idiot but still I do have my limits of tolerating intelligent post from intelligent people.

                I see all kinds of people posting here, some are worried whether the bike does a wheelie or not? I am fine with it, I say to myself that 'he might be a stunter so this is his genuine query'

                someone says 'the swaying is not acceptable at all'. I say 'yes thats absolutely true, but i don't know what to do and I, personally am fine with it till it starts hindering my ride quality'

                But when someone overly-experienced person goes berserk on this thread, I cant take it well enough hence this long post. Sometimes he converts this into a comparison thread sometimes a speculation thread and when he doesnt find anything better to do he just pours his heart out here...

                Yes I know nothing about riding a bike,I know nothing about ride quality, I buy a bike and like an Idiot keep all the problems to myself... but wait let me quote something here which I had posted long back...

                I have one small query cum request for you guys. Please do the following.

                Ride the bike at 30-40kmph, do not cross 40kmph, go on a smooth road and then just leave the handle bar (remove both the hands from the handle bar).

                Please check if the bike is stable/moves in straight line or not.

                Any response will be appreciated .

                Thanks
                Was that me??

                Today I complete ONE MONTH of OWNERSHP of the NS, and yes i will post a small review, or wait can I give my bike to some experienced-testers and might be they will be able to give a hot smoking review

                *This post is not to be taken personally, it is for the betterment of the forum*

                @mods- This is a OT-kind of post from my side after a long time, Please dont delete it...

                • Saw them in flesh and got my hands on!!

                  I reached there after the press meet. There were 4 of them in the hotel's parking area..nobody around and unnoticed. Me and my friend sat on them took pictures etc.I called the popular guys they told me that test ride wont be available now. Then bajaj guys came and they were going to take those bikes to showrooms. I asked one of them for an unofficial test ride as I have been waiting for it from march and paid the full amount of 96500/- and he gave me the bike for a test ride!

                    Was thinking the reason for your sudden absence, and here it comes..Please ignore all those post.
                    We (actual prospective NS owners who are following this thread religiously), do consider u as a true biker, and the passion for your bike reveals in your odometre, and in those pictures that u posted.

                    am waiting for a long time for your post run-in and other adventurous experiences

Please do not accept and touch up done by service guys. I would advise you to take your bike to another bajaj service centre where guys are trained properly or else they will ruin your bike. Please take care. I saw amount of 135 or 155 mentioned in your bill, what is that amount ? Also you should not have allowed the service guy to get your logo stuck by Feviquick.
                      @ Chintan
                      Thanks bro for your advice. I have already dropped a mail to customer care citing my issues for service, paint peel off from the pipe origination from engine head problem and the Bajaj logo which came out at the time of washing. Still, I have not got my oil filter. Seriously, I'm thinking of visiting other service centers for better service.

                      Without logo, it was looking too bad . So I said, it came out from you all. Please, fix the same. Finally they pasted it.

                      It's the Piston Oil - Rs 155 + Rs 20 (Tax) = Rs 175.
                      They said its good for piston, You should have this. So, I let them pour the same along with Engine oil.

                      Can it be replaced. I was not aware. So, I allowed them for a touch up. But, the paint is coming out still from the other round part of the pipe. Will show them to the guys once they reply to me or contact me.

                      • @everybody -- you all forgot about the good things that i pointed out ... only the vibrations part got all of you disturbed ... i dont want to comment on vibrations anymore .. it may even be because the side panels were not bolted on properly ...i was not the only person who found it there .. but it was a mistake by me that i reported it too soon and too directly ...

                            For me and other persons who booked so early, it will be delivered within 2 days. For others it may take 1 or 2 more weeks.

                              Hey you can try your service at Dewan Bajaj Okhla. They give same treatment to both KTM and NS customers.
                              I know it by experience cause during my 1st service of duke a couple of days back they were sevicing the NS along with Duke and giving the same VIP treatment to both.
