          • Guys, I'll get my delivery in two more days. I'm going to Kodaikonal 16th morning and will return on 18th. And I'm off to Hyderabad for an official tour on 20.

            The dealer asked me to fix the color now as he will deliver bike to my dad on 16th and he said he assures that nothing will be wrong with the bike.

            So Give me an idea, Is it okay that I give my dad the responsibility (He is a commuter- 100cc Biker ) or shall i force him to delivery me on Sunday? (He said he normally never does)

            And most important question of all is here :

            I decided to go for black in the beginning and then switched to red later on. But, None of my friends and even my parents seem to endorse me. They seem to have sticked on to red while my friends say "Fear the black" will still continue even though this NS variant black is not that a hit compared to 1st gen pulsars.

            Now, I've to tell the dealer a color as soon as possible (Don't worry I'll keep him waiting till tomorrow i guess)

            Please tell me this, How much is the cherry black contains the cherry color? (I need a percentage split-up) (say 20% - cherry and 80% black)

            I know it is difficult to have the red color maintained, I guess it is equally (or more ) greater to maintain the black one. Do you think this black will fade? I'm specific about this black because, when i first saw this cherry black in flesh, it gave me a feeling, that the P-180 was dipped in ground-nut oil and left in hot sun for a day!!

            Gimme some idea about the two color variants in NS (I know it is personal opinion, still some nostalgia or advice that could flash something up :P )

            Also let me know your color choice and the reason behind it (I found is sekcy etc.,)

              i personally hate the ns black .. i would have loved it if it came with unicorn type metallic deep black...you will miss out on contrasting matt black parts if you go for black in ns . i feel all the other colors are equally hard to maintain .. silver is the color which requires least maintenance but it is not available in ns.. yellow looks the most flashy and will get noticed easily ..
              red is having the right balance between flashyness and sober look .. blue is conservative and decent ... i would have gone for red ...

                Getting the belly pan of the 200 Duke fixed on the 200NS would be difficult though as the silencer routing on the 200NS goes below the engine block as compared to the 200 Duke which goes from the side of the engine block.


                My guess was right.

                So seniors, am nearing my first service. 430+ on ODO. Will be visiting SVC soon. Remember that "AFR thing" in my and other NS's?
                What I needed to tell them? Make AFR from lean to rich or what else.?

                  Thanks for the reply sir... I thought the same, it would be great though if the belly pan could be fitted with some mod as it will provide good looks as well as protect the bottom of the engine from all the mud which is a bit tedious to clean.....

                    The same noise came for me after I changed the tyres. Apparently the tyre guy did not put the tyre alignment properly. Just a thought.

                          U can see the side pannels in red Colour as well. It not there in actual production model.
                          BTW< I like the Maroonish red better than the Bright red. Don't you?

                            Maroonish red is fine. But, I'm worried about metallic - all-time pulsar's black and the side panels!

                                BTW got a volt metre installed.


                                Also, at 1600Kms on ODO.. did rip-run!

                                Touched 149! Amazing vibe free experience.



                                Guys, who ever have got the delivery or are going to get their new NS, please make sure that you have the front, mud flap installed. This is especially true for Bangalore, where a majority of bike from Khivraj are delivered without it.



                                hi me too didnt get it ...any one from Hyderabad please respond if you have this.....
