nice comparo. have'nt ridden 200 ns but was kind of expecting it.

one point I need clarification is 200ns is better handler than duke. did you find duke to be lacking in any deppt like hard suspension or seat?
cause when I test rode it, it was confidence inspiring at all speeds. again it was a short ride but made a lasting impression. I also did not found it lacking as tires were grippy, suspension was rock solid, was very light and flickable.

Delhi: 95,600

Pune : ~Rs94,300

I got My Pulsar 200 NS for 97920 from SAI SERVICE Lower Parel.

Please confirm the price from your dealer. Tomorrow i am going to Sai Service for my first service so will confirm it once again for you guys.

Actually i got my NO CLAIM BONUS transfered so i got 50% off on insurance making my net cost to 96700 on road.

I'm wishing its true, I've been waaaiting for it from a long time though expecting is a lot different from being sure..

I really hope bro, been waiting eagerly since MAY xP

it might be true .. but i am sure it will cost over a lakh ..

No bro, it wouldn't be moree than 1 lakh, considering 85k is the ex-showroom.
How you could you expect more than 15k for the tax and insurance and RTO xO
I insisted to the lady on phone what if it's above 1 lakh and she told that i was declared by Mr. Rajiv that it would be less than 1lakh bike hence it would be around 99-99.8 or something xP

I dont how is the handling of 200ns.. but duke's handling is greattt.. in handling its next to R15.. i dont know whether the comparison of duke and 200ns is valid.. but i cant believe that p200ns is better than duke..

I have ridden 2 bikes and have faced the issue.
But the drifting is very very negligible, hence you wouldn't even notice it and most of the times you will try to counter balance it unconsciously.
It doesnt hinder the ride quality in any way whatsoever. You feel it only when you are riding at 30-40 kmph without pillion.
Having a pillion also changes the dynamics and makes the bike move in straight line... i dont know how that happens, but I have observed it.

thanks mate..

The yellow of Karizma and P200NS are different, so atleast you wont have identical colored bikes...

Some more issues/niggles/problems/whatever-u-may-call:

This issues might be very very subjective and i know they can be sorted out by a the co-operation of the svc guys.

1. There are two weird noises coming form the front part of the bike
a. One due to some resonance created by the handle lock due to its proximity to the chassis as told to me by some friend of mine
b. Other one is from the small black part of the fairing, which I suppose is not fitted properly

2. The rear disc brakes makes some noise (in my friends 200NS) which is due to the piston again as told to me by some friend of mine


Mine does and I have tested it on some other bikes also but its not a big issue

I dont know if its the tyre or my bad luck...
Yesterday had a punture in the rear tyre, and the cut was so bad that it couldnt get fixed, and the punture guys suggested me to get it patched from inside and put a TUBE in it.
Today morning checked it again, it seemed ok, but now I am not very confident on the tyres.
If this happens in on of my rides then what do I do?

In my 11.5km experience till date I had only one puncture and that too a normal one. Yesterday's event was unfortunate and it doesn't happen often. Sadly the tyres are not covered under warranty

11.5 km?
its fine if its covered or not, I already spoke to the eurogrip guys and they said that they will get back to me. I am confused: was it just bad luck or the quality of the tryes may also have a role to play in it?

I mean 11.5k

There is a possibility that your particular piece from Eurogrip is a bad piece or maybe the thing with which it got cut was really very sharp. You can escalate the same issue with SVC they can also take it to the Eurogrip guys

I will do that...

BTW got a call from Sai Services Pune asking that if all the issues were sorted out in the 1st servicing, I said No, and then they are like, sir please get your bike when you have time, we will sort out the issues.
Felt good that atleast they called up to confirm if the servicing properly done or not.
