          Should have told him ktm and Bajaj are the same here. Would have shut him up. LOL
          And honestly in what universe is pulsar a "Mazboot bike". An old model Royal Enfield bullet is a "Mazboot bike". Pulsars (especially the newer generation ones) are soft as shit. At least they are no stronger than other brand 150cc bikes or so I have seen.
          From the looks of it your security wala has probably seen wolverine's adamantium pulsar. LOL

Because I have interacted with BP directly when i had an issue and they took it up seriously and resolved it. the issue was price not quality though.
            When it comes to Ioc i am yet to come across a decent one in hyderabad.. be it coco or privately held, I just stay away from them.

            Are you sure they are still selling it ? Because I know, you will see a sticker/banner at their pump or dispensing unit mentioning speed 97 but in reality what is coming out is only 91. I guess maybe they forgot to remove those labels from earlier.
            And as mentioned by others system G is available at BP bunks for around 250-300rs and 'how to use/dosage' is mentioned on the bottle. And no i haven't used it yet on my D200.. i will pick up a bottle shortly and use it after a couple of 1000km for one full tank. The D200 seems to run just fine on regular 91, and i am getting a mileage of around 33 during my run in currently..(neither babying it nor pushing it too hard.. maintaining the balance)

            Yes sir, i never said it is an octance booster. I think the so called octane boosters are a scam
            as you mentioned the system g is more of cleanup / gumming prevention additive that might also help with preventing 'phase separation' (water separation from petrol when stored for longer periods and the ethanol stuff)
            Yes dude. Completely sure they sell it. Went their today morning and checked the Speed 97 by having them drop it on a filter paper. The petrol was kind of orange in colour that maybe a characterstic of the high octane or an additive they use but the filter paper dried out in no time although a stain was left behind.
            Did the same check with the normal petrol ; no such coloring seen on the paper or visually.
            Finally, Got a tankful with normal BP petrol.
            There is no better therapy than riding a bike down a straight road at full throttle with the sound of the engine for company.

              Now that we are on the questions asked of the Duke, I have been asked multiple times below questions:
              Q: Silencer kahaan hai?
              A: Nahi hai. Tabhie itna aawaz karti hai.

              Q: Kitney ki hai?
              A: Bhai ki hai

              Q: Kitna deti hai
              A: Aapki waali se Bahut kam!

              But I love the looks and smiles I get from children. I have had three kids stand beside the bike and have a photo taken by their parents.

                  Since the topic has drifted this way, I am also getting tempted to add my experience with RC 390. I was with brother and had gone to a shopping center. A middle-aged uncle came and asked about the bike.

                  Uncle: Kitne ki hai?
                  Bro: Around 2.25 Lakh

                  Uncle: Are itne me to Tata Nano aa jati hai.
                  Bro: Han. Par Nano hoti to aap puchhne k liye nahi aate.

                  I was stumped by my brother's wits!! And then are looks by other guys who totally admire the bike!

                        Sorry for that. I posted in a hurry. Here goes the translation for same:

                        Uncle: Kitne ki hai? (How much does the bike cost?)
                        Bro: Around 2.25 Lakh

                        Uncle: Are itne me to Tata Nano aa jati hai. (You could have got Tata Nano for this price)
                        Bro: Han. Par Nano hoti to aap puchhne k liye nahi aate. (Yeah. But then you wouldn't have come to ask about the car)
