aaah nice to see things moving around!! Good pics and video friend.. thanks for sharing. Would also like to know your feedback on the same too.

Rohan : You still didn't get the drift... did you kid!! No one's saying anything to you because you said about the vibes. What everyone is getting concerned about is the language you choose to say about it and above all, the way you treated a new motorcycle, about which you had the idea that it might be, could be, would be given to a prospective buyer. You just ruined the engine by riding it in that manner for the sake of test riding it. Just think of it... if someone gives you that very motorcycle... would you take it?? In all probability you would not.. because you know that the engine has taken it, so, why would you want one of your brothers take it. XBhp is not a motorcycling forum, it's about the brotherhood of motorcycling, that's what XBhp has always been, that's what XBhp would always be, and that's what differentiates XBhp from other forums.

So, understand it, we have nothing against you, it's just that we want you to understand this spirit of belonging and owenership, whether you own the said motorcycle or not.

@evilhunt, Bro if i'm not wrong, i think you were worried about 5'5'' height for 200NS.
Look at previous post from ajai5777, he's 5'5' too. I don't think it'll be a problem riding 200NS . You have two lively demos here - @payeng sir and @ajai5777.

@ajai - Nice pics bro....any first ride reviews would be welcome.

Ahh...While reading these lines i got the same feeling as when i sing our National Anthem....

Sorry for OT and sorry for back to back posts...i saw this post only after saving the other reply ..and i just couldn't stop myself...

from the number of young owners that are likely to buy a p200ns.. wil the bike come up wit a wheelie ??????? personally owner of a RE 350.. i never bothered with a wheelie but pulsar has been one of the most potent bike in the stunting community.. wil a p200ns come out as a star in this aspect too??

I didnt do a detailed test ride still I can point out the things I noticed.

- Excellent mono shock
- Seat is little wide as someone mentioned earlier but still its easy to handle even with out touching your both legs fully on the ground.
- Acceleration was good even with a big guy in back seat but not much thumping (also I didnt go for high revs)
- Good handling
- I didnt feel any kind of vibes (I didnt go for high revs)

thats all for now.

I will give my review when I get mine after two days!

I sat on NS and checked today. Me being 5'8'' could not fully keep my both feet down. I think 5'5'' guy will have hard time in stop and go traffic.

Expert and professional stunters never stunt on stock bikes.. bikes have to be made stunt friendly first. For pulling effortess wheelies usually bigger rear sprockets are retrofitted. There are lots of mods which are done to make a bike stunt friendly.


I am 5'5", and this is how a 5'5" guy can balance the Pulsar 200NS when stationary.. i.e. not by putting both feet by tip-toe, but on one feet flat on the ground.

HI bro how was your TD experience i couldnt come today i was planning to book it 2day but my parents told me this month is not good to buy so postponed it to next month end or Sept

@Chintan & Mods: Are test drive Vehicles sold as New bikes to customers?? Isn't that a wrong thing to do?

+1 to that...i am 5'9" and still was just able to touch down both of my feet..the riding position is a bit on higher side..
For a 5'5" guy it wud be a problem at times while stopping..u will have to lean to your left or right..

@Rohan...bro no one is against your vibes..u still cant get it..anyways no point in discussing it..i just hope you are able to get what you want in a BIKE..think clearly and decide..you are so damn confused man..

I agree with you bro..how can they sell the Test Ride vehicle to the customer..
whenever a person goes to buy a New bike he has a lot in his mind and wants his Bike to be the brand new..untouched..scratchless..and then take care of it the way he wants...
If this practice is being followed we must do something about it..its totally unfair on their part...
Test ride bikes should carry a DEMO sticker and should have been run some 400-500 KM..A brand new bike has its own charm..

encounter with pulsar 200ns

Today while going back home saw pulsar 200ns in showroom in kormangala,bangalore ..the bike was standing on road with a showroom guy.. i was quite excited and started seeing the bike..he asked me to take a test drive ..i did'nt ask him also then also he was insisting on taking a test drive... i had a big smile on my face as soon as i started the bike the bike was very very smooth...i rode the bike for 2-3 kms ..the the mechanic asked me to take another test ride... i was feeling as if i am the luckiest person on earth...the mechanic said that the bike had came yesterday night only...and he started offering the test drive now only..lucky me..

Man I am not an expert..just a Junior member...and yaa even for Bajaj i also took the interest in this thread shifting a lil bit away from my brand of choice..
any way i guess ur frustration continues till Aug end or Sept becoz as far as I know it aint gonna come before Augend or highly Sept....

Definitely bro..it is wrong....they shouldn't be doing that....

me riding and testing the bike in a hard way has hurt almost everyone here ..
i have seen many test ride bikes from tvs which come in diff color so that they can never be sold to the customer .. i recently saw a tvs jive which was painted in weird orange color and had demo bike decals on it .. all manufacturers have to send out demo bikes which have unique paint job .. even many cars which i test drive will have too many demo decals on it ...
i have bought 3 bikes and 2 cars till now and i only buy after operating the engine in all rpms ... i just want to be completely sure of what to expect after buying it ... i have a habit of getting into a lot of details ...

You and your modesty

HIGHLY September..
Feels like I live in a Alien planet, and Bajaj will do me a huge favour bringing the Bike to me
