    But again on a good note, it was actually good that he didn't Redline his, else it would have been a



    If someone Provokes on a Highway or a Street, it's always better to stay calm & composed rather to show him the bitter pill which will not favour us all the time.

    Happy Motoring.

    P.S No Offense to NS here, neither I'm a Fanboy of Honda. Yamaha it is for me.
    Dude there is a video on youtube of a drag between NS ,R15 and CBR150 . NS smokes both the bikes and that too with a very good margin .

        P.S. At least hoping that this answer here will not start a brand war here...
        Not here to start a brand war...

        But, for a CBR150R

        Max torque is 12.66Nm @ 8500RPM and max power is 17.81 PS @ 10500 RPM (says the Honda website)

        Source: CBR150R

        (Power was mentioned in bhp in Honda website... converted it to PS... 1Hp= 1.014PS)

        Whereas for a Pulsar 200NS

        Max torque is 18.3 Nm @ 8000 RPM and max power is 23.2 PS @ 9500 RPM

        Source: Pulsar 200ns Technical Specs, Pulsar 200 cc Specifications


        So... spec wise Pulsar 200NS shouldn`t have much of a difficulty smoking off CBR150R (without considering the fairing fact and wind resistance)... I am guessing... Not to start off any war... Just my take!

          why 120/70 , our rear tire is of 130/70 profile. You can either go with Mrf REVZ-S , Pirelli Sports Daemon, IRC RoadWinner.

          I have changed it to RevZ-S , the grip is very good , especially on wet roads you clearly make out the difference, but expect a decline in mileage by 1-2 kmpl.

              The baby screeches a lot now a days, plus a tik tik noise from the front portion. Cant really make out where it is coming from. Comparatively hard shifts, and the heat hits my legs more often. Any inputs??? 1850 on odo and last oil change at 580.

                That's why i said, "Given in Good Hands, both will be in Win- Win Situation"..

                Here's the difference between both;

                Parameters CBR 150R 200NS
                Power 17.57 Bhp 23.04 Bhp
                Kerb Weight 138 Kg 145 Kg
                1/4 Timing with 60Kg on board 17.82 Sec 16.51 Sec
                Bhp/ Tonne 127 Bhp/ Tonne 158 Bhp/Tonne
                P.S. All numbers are just mere calculations and real world timings may vary based on various parameters, let alone the fairing to be the least of the considerations. That's why i said it's a Win-Win Situation.

                  Aha... The answer I wanted to hear!
                  But still ~1 second difference in 1/4 mile... I am happy!
                  Let`s end it here bro... Glad you answered!

                  The real world is where we all live... and nothing can be predicted... so at the end of the day...I would say just keep yourself happy with your machine... else, you will have to keep picking up drags every single time you drive, just to prove that Bajaj is a better manufacturer or Pulsar is better name than the one`s the other guy drives isn`t worth anything!

                  • Just 230km on odo with first service done
                    Facing noticeble tank vibrations after about 3.75K-4K rpm(havent crossed 5.5Krpm yet so duno if they are resonance vibes or is there some issue)
                    had mentioned it in the job card and all they did was tighten the bolts
                    now is it really so or i have become unnecessarily more conscious that i face more vibration than before

                    noticed rust at the front fork tubes at the top most area where it joins the headlamp
                    heard other people have it too...

                    the bike looks fantastic and quality feels top notch when just "looked at" but it isnt that top notchy...but it aint bad tooo...its good..

                        If it is some serious rust... fire up a mail to BAL... with a picture... They`ll get back to you for sure. I don`t remember seeing any such rust on mine!

                        Find out from your SVC if the Rubber Grommets for the tank vibrations have arrived... That should reduce majority of the vibrations.

                        230+500kms (assuming you`ve given it to first service @ 500kms on ODO) is way too early to judge... let the engine run-in, gears break-in and then you will have one gem of a bike... ofcourse, niggles will come... and fixes will be found!

                        SO cheers... Ride safe!

                          Its the opposite for me, the ride feels more refined now, no more miss shifts plus overall its a lot smoother at 1600kms on the odo now.

                          Although there is a very feeble whistling sound coming everytime I ride for more than 20mins or so, have no idea what is causing it!? Any inputs on this guys?

                          • haha...no bro...its just simply 230km on the odo....

                            busy with exams...

                            contacted the SVC already and they have no idea about any rubber grommet and the mechanic said only the first few initial lots had vibrations and the new ones dont have...

                            yes the bike is indeed one of a gem i always get late wherever i have to reach just because i spend time admiring it when its just parked :P

                            no not serious rust....a very thin layer...will contact SVC first adn ask them..if they do not offer any solution i'll shoot a mail to bajaj

                            but first i'll shoot a mail to the SVC customer care for poor service and skipping most of the checks to be performed at a service.
