Hi Folks,

I know its kind of stupid question .. but I would like to know the mileage of the bike from the owners before and after first service. I would really appreciate any inputs on this..
The reason I want to know that, I heard that Bajaj had claimed 55KMPL on this.. so just wanted to know that if its true or just a rumour.
Please gimme genuine numbers

yippee...
after months of waiting finally bumblebee it is
went for a test drive today at kalyani bajaj,blore
it was a red bike for testing.
initially i was like is it me or is this baby small to look at.
but when i got on the saddle . then it struck me i'm a mr shorty the seats are wide so couldn't place both my feet firmly on the ground (tiptoe).
so i think this is a matter that i should get used to.
now the actual drive hit the ignition it came to life instantly nice sound too
then shifted to first gear and it slotted in very nicely. no harsh kadak sound like in previous pulsar's .. moved on when trying to go for second gear it fell to neutral but quickly shifted again to get second guess this happened because i'm used to fz's gear's
from then on i opened the throttle a bit to get comfortable and instantly was in love with the engine . its superbly refined couldn't even strain it a bit in my test run it pulls like heaven through out the rev range btw i did go only till 9k rpm in 3rd and 4th couldn try 5th because of traffic. as the speedo was down(not connected i guess) couldn say the exact speeds i reached but i think it reached 80's in very few seconds . it did handle nicely didnt feel any burden because of my height or the weight of the bike . its easily flickable in traffic. then i hit the brakes a bit to see how it slows down and the brakes are solid it gave excellent feedback. and in the last stretch i saw an empty road ahead i pinned the throttle a bit and this baby roared . loads of power through out the rev range there isnt a flat point any where. but maybe the initial push is missing as in my fz but after the initial few moments its super fun to ride the NS.
now for the downside of the ride did feel some vibrations creep in at higher rpm's near the tank area.but its isnt alarming . but one wont feel it as he would be preoccupied with the speed the bike is travelling at those moments. but not much vibrations on the handle bars as reported by few here , but it was there.
hate the panel gap between the rear seat and panel bajaj must fix this asap.
bajaj should have put in a better looking tyre at the rear it kills the overall looks of the bike . r15 v2 rear tyre might look sexy on NS...
but overall what a bike man \m/.
for the money its an absolute steal for the amount of technology that is incorporated into a bike that cost so less..
hats of to bajaj for making it so vfm.
now for the hard bit "WAITING".
maybe by wednesday i will have my bumblebee


now for the important bit to fellow owners and future owner of ns.
i think i need to remember this everymoment i ride this bike.
with this kind of power come's great responsiblity as mentioned by MG sir one should know his limits and should not be a danger to himself and other humans around him.
ride safe BROTHERS .

58kmpl at 55kmph, 6th gear.

a free advice from me.... Instead of thinking about the maximum mileage, always think of the lowest mileage you can leave with... 35 with mixed riding, 40 with sane and rip it hard and you are bound to get 30... Anything above 40 is a blessing for this beast... So settle for 35kmpl...thats what you'll get...

I saw a section of an automobile show in one of the news channels this weekend where they briefly reviewed NS200.

One thing they mentioned was that - Its tyres are not upto the mark, particularly for sharp turns and stuff. If one wants to make the bike nearly perfect after the purchase, it is a good idea to change the tyres.

It seems to be more of a requirement than a luxury.
One more thing that needs to be known is - How convenient it is to replace the horn? We now know that the horn quality in NS is an absolute let down too.

the tries are not upto the mark and the bike will skid if you try to corner it hard..

i went to SVC in KR puram bangalore. the engineer dosent know anything about the bike and he told the oil level is at the minimum..
he recommended to take the bike to another SVC in Kasturba road going there..
will the warranty be void if i do the service in Pro-bikibg SVC??

I have reported the issue of paint peel off frm the head of the exhaust pipe earlier also. Here are some images of the same.

pics from right side of the pipe




Its due to the touch of black paint that you see black area.

pics from left side of the pipe




But, since the touch was not done on the left side, you can see that its the brown patch coming up. Earlier it was very less, but the area has increased now.

Guys, i have shown them this issue right on the first service day. On that day, i was not aware of what should be done for the same, so i allowed them for the touch up with black paint. But i posted the same, Chintan said that why you allowed them to do so. Its under waranty and you should get it replaced. But, i find these guys very reluctant. Till date they are not serious about it, i showed them today also and they again asked me to get a touch of paint. But i refused today. Is this under waranty? Will it be replaced or it will remain like this only.

Guys I've brought "HIM" home..!!!!

He is mine. My Dominator..

very very very very very.... happy

Thank you for every owners..!!

Had a small discussion with the showroom guys in bhopal. The probiking showroom @ indore have no idea about the bike or delivery. And are not taking the booking too. How ever, surjeet autos told that the bike will be available by august and are taking bookings with an initial payment of 5000 INR. Should I believe them and make my booking?

Someone help me out pls...
