If you have not taken any Claim from your insurance company they offer NO CLAIM Discount on the premium that you pay. I did not take any claim on my previous bike for the past 10years so NO CLAIM DISCOUNT was 50%. While buying P200NS i got NO CLAIM CERTIFICATE from my INSURANCE COMPANY stating in the past 10years I have not made any claims and i am eligible for NO CLAIM BONUS of 50% which i claimed for my new bike.

Following are the norms for claiming NO CLAIM DISCOUNT :

1) You need to sell the old bike or get it transfered to other persons name and it should be reflected in the RC Book.

2) NEW bike which you buy should be in the same name as you old bike.

3) You need to buy a new bike within 6months from the date of NO CLAIM CERTIFICATE.

The same discount is also available for cars.

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.

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?

Yes the 200NS is a better handler than the 200 Duke.

The 200 Duke is not a bad handler, but the 200NS takes it to the next level. The 200 Duke has a slight tendency to oversteer, the 200NS is more neutral in comparison.

Seat material: The seat of the 200 Duke is quite hard when compared to the seat of the 200NS.
Ride Quality: The suspension on the 200NS is slightly more firm than the 200 Duke.




One sentence: Just ride it to believe it.

So are you planning on changing the rear tyre?
My friend's Fazer had similar problem... 3 punctures in the first month... and had to change the tyre... It is just bad luck...

me too having the fairing noise, it occurs mostl= significantly in the secong gear

That is great... Is it necessary to have 10 years of No Claim? I guess I have 5 years. Is that sufficient?

I am not yet planning to change the tyre... It just 12 days/ 1300 kms old... I am trying to get it fixed.. lets see what happens..



I guess the fitting needs to be checked but the mechanic doesnt seem to believe it..

U done 1300kms in 12 days ????

Stumbled upon a forum where they mention that there is some vibration in the bike like the RTR? any truth in this claim? I have already booked , having second thoughts and slightly inclined towards 220 as it a proven bike

Pls suggest
