    • @Nikhil: I dont think there is a ground rule, sometime early last year I saw 2 P150\180s being road tested... We havent seen a new Pulsar yet! (May be they were testing swap of parts)

      Some of the pune members including me say a 220S which we believe was a 4v engine due to the change in its note, havent seen that yet! so! ARAI prescribes some tests, but I guess its upto the manufacturer to iron out niggles relentlessly!

      I know of some first batch 220Fi members who thought that the testing continued (with them) even after the release of the bike!

            Somehow I suspect you would get info about a launch much before i do

            PS:In case you do, my mailbox would be very happy to hear from you

            • Finally !!!

              What a pleasure to see the bike finally on Indian roads..
              Although my heart says NO, my mind says "Honda please delay the launch of CBR, I want to take back my booking amount and head to the Bajaj showroom"..
              ..
              Quite literally I was about to post a query if we could modify existing Indian bikes to perform Supermoto styles.. BANG, Payeng and Satyen gives us hope.. No need for mods kiddo, We've got a factory stock option..
              ..

                • Guys, the KTM 125/200 was speculated to have a 150 section rear tire.
                  After seeing these pics i feel it's not 150(but less). What do you all think??

                  • Desperately waiting for this bike. Will sure grab it as soon as it is launched.

                      With its minimal design, weight should hover around the 130kg mark???
                      is that only 130kg only????/

                        By the way, here are some more pics of the Baby Duke captured in Pune: Source Overdrive

                              • lovely.. thanks for sharing payeng!
                                A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.

                                Always be ready (get geared) to fall and then think of sitting on the motorcycle.
