Yeah, MH RTOs are very stringent it seems. I too had a problem with an address proof here in Navi Mumbai. So had to register it on someone else's name. If you stay in a rented accomodation, then the agreement has to be CIDCO registered here or else you'll have to bribe the RTO some 2500-3000 bucks. Even after that, you'll have to give an HR letter or a bank passbook photocopy or an LIC agreement which has the local address. It's frustrating man. I had to wait almost 20 days for my registration.

So if you have anyone of the above docs then you are good to go with your name.So give them a rent agreement and an HR letter if you are working.

Hi folks,

As said I am putting up a review of PULSAR 200 NS and I hope it is informative enough..

The problem is all my address proof is of Bangalore, so whatever the address proof i may have will not be valid in MH. I have been trying to convince the sales guy on phone to help me out with address proof (with whatever extra charges) as I do have a SBI account on my name on Nagpur address. But I guess he is really helpless. Nor do I have the time to spent at Nagpur RTO.

Right. Pulsars just advertises themselves on the road. Even my six year old nephew asks me - "When will you buy the Pulsar" (He refers bike as pulsar)
Just recollect the last time when you have seen a pulsar(any variant add)
Basic idea- why spent money on advertisement, when there is demand in itself.

Likewise you see, since there is more than expected demand for XUV500, they have stopped showing the ad.

P.S- just remembered there was the "HUNTO" ad for pulsar a short time back, however i guess only for a few days it was aired

@chintan99 - I know you are quite regular in this thread, and have consistently removed our doubts; but it have been short, and very specific. I think its time you give us a short review of your 1week ownership experience.

@rocket - Am eagerly waiting to see more pictures of your RED-BLACK beauty, along with your comments.

I don't count aftermarket fitments

Yellow Fever:

Just back from oogling at a Yellow Pulsar 200NS at the Wakdewadi Showroom (Pune).. If you haven't seen the Pulsar 200NS is Yellow, then you ain't seen anything..!!

Is this the one opp YFS? What time were you there? Where is the bike put on display?

I visit that place, almost everyday and haven't seen any Yellow, though keep on seeing a red-hot one.

There was a Yellow one on display today when I visited it at around 4 pm.

Oh 4pm, I was getting drunk that time.
Did you ask the showroom people if the bike will be there on display for some more days?

After seeing red and blue in pictures, I was super excited to see blue in flesh but somehow red, to me, looks better. So, now eagerly wants to see yellow in flesh.

Any idea, if they also provide test rides?

Nope made no inquiries. Yellow on the P200NS looked awesome to me.

Just confirmed from one of my friend who works in a bajaj showroom in kolkata that more than 50 bikes have arrived in their workshops and they take the bikes from there and take it to the warehouse... He said company officials are giving them some training... And he said very proudly that they abuse the bikes very badly and shift at the redline.. He was like "who cares...its not my bike..."...

Dude, this is the case everywhere be it Bajaj , Honda or any other company. For example, in case of the duke, the bikes are ridden some 20-30 kms from the warehouse (which is in Bhiwandi(Mumbai) perhaps, not sure) to the Seewoods svc, where a PDI is done and 'ok' stickers are stuck on the bikes. And from there ridden to their showroom in Vashi.
The bikes are abused by the 'trained'(the Showroom staff once mentioned this word to which I gave a smirk in reply) riders for sure. When I last visited the SVC, there were numerous bikes there waiting for their PDI's to be done. All of them were in pathetic condition, covered with mud, stickers torn. I was taken aback when I learnt that the bikes had not come for servicing, but were new bikes.
I feel that the companies should arrange for transportation of the bikes and the bikes should be delivered with zero on the odo.
On a second thought though, probably we get all our bikes properly run in by all these 'trained riders, motoman way and we should not go through te painful rigours of a soft run in for a full 1000kms or 2000 for the 200NS.
Now if that thing is good or bad, I know not

Hi folks,

Buying DecisionFIRST bike being made available for the customer.



Delivery ExperienceLooks : Absolute Killer its something that pleases everyone, the stance, this beauty sure has road presence and is an attention seeker whether running or in idle.Each one has his vision of looking and liking the bike for me its got to be the star shaped alloy rims which truly enhance the star out of it.

PULSAR 200 NS is like a hot gal you can take home who is simple enough to keep your parents happy and at the same time be a hot topic of discussion amongst friends and make them feel jealous.


Ride/HandlingAcceleration/Gearing : This is an absolute joy and a delight for the soul, it just pulls effortlessly and is so nimble that you wont feel the speed until you glance at the speedo, the clutch and gearing is smoother than ever and the gears slot neatly with no false neutrals, since I am switching over from a p150 which had one sided gearing, its taking me little time to adapt to the 1down 5up sequence a few more kms and I will be fine.As for acceleration I remember the good old days of the RX100 it was an untamed beast and always rearing to go whereas PULSAR 200 NS is more sophisticated but in an turbo charged avtaar of the Rx100, need to ride one to feel the magic. Just waiting for the run in period to get over in training the monster so that its true prowess can be unleashed by trying to keep the temptations under control.

Braking : Providing with petal disc brakes in the front and rear the company is surely concerned for the adequate safety of the consumers and it does have a lot of bite in stoping the monster, especially when we will be enjoying the rides and some idiot will jaywalk into our path without caring for any safety.
