@Speedshift : Yesterday when i got my 1st Service done i put DTSI Engine oi. The supervisor suggested that you can go for MOTUL and it would cost around 200/- more than DTSI Oil. He was like for the first service you go in for the DTSI oil and on Second service you can go for MOTUL and he said if you can spend more go for 0W50 oil which is like water and is great for the bike and would cost me around 1850/-. P200NS need 1.4Ltr of oil.

Did he mention any brand for the 0w50 oil and what would be the drain interval for the same. Also how do the service centre guys put 1.4ltr oil as the dtsi oil comes in 1150ml pack i guess. Do they charge you for 2 bottles then....???

They got oil big drums and they take oil from those drums. He did not tell me the brand nor i asked him as he told me to go for it in second service.

Someone told me if i buy from one state and register in other then i have to pay huge taxes eg current RT rate in HP is 3 % but my friend is saying if you buy from say Chandigarh or Delhi then you have to pay 8 % tax. Is it true ?

Regarding Duke
35 k is not only for feeling but for some other things also.
(1) Fuel injection (2) Grippy tyres so no need to change (3) Aluminum perimeter frame which makes Duke near 10 KG lighter than 200 NS (4) Front brake is better in Duke (5) Top notch build quality best in india (6) No fairing version will be launched in future so you never feel cheated (7) Better Instrument console { i personally don't like it, i think NS is better in this case } (8) 25 bhp power and 19 NM of torque with mileage equal to or sometimes even better than NS.

Now lets see the Dukish feel
Best roll on acceleration among indian bikes.
Slightly slow than CBR 250 in drag race { negligible difference }
Feel of riding a imported bike distinct from the crowd.

Some other points
People are already doing long long journeys with lot of luggage so those who say it can't cruise and luggage carrying capacity is limited are not correct. A slight seat modification can make it equal to nS in comfort so anyone interested in buying should go through both ownership threads and have a test ride of both. Last but not the least i have noticed something,
those who test ride NS say " it is good and pick is good " but those who test ride Duke say " it is ". Take your pick

duke owners are not giving out the real world mileage figures .. they are just quoting the mileage displayed on the screen ..

i think exactly the same ..same things were in my mind from yesterday .. my dad yesterday told me that i can have the duke but only if it gives 35+kmpl.. that gave me a very awkward feeling ..dont know if should be happy or sad ...now buying duke is easy for me but what if it gives only 30kmpl ? duke owners are not giving out the real world mileage figures .. they are just quoting the mileage displayed on the screen ..just imagine my feeling when my duke gives 30kmpl and ns gives 40+kmpl for similar power ..
