      So that means, new fastest indian will match N300 in performance? With an added fairing and taller gearing, p375 may do a 180 and add another 10-15 error!!!
      For pure euphoria D390, For Tourers with tight budget P375 and for the track beginners N300, all with similar performance (or comparable) and possibly considerably different in pricing!
      is that enough to kill the CB400/500 trio before the birth in India?
      Hehe... Jokes about P375's speedo aside, I think P375 will be an excellent touring option because of fairing, twin projectors and good top speed. And most importantly price...

      But we all know the word fun sticks to orange colour much more than any other.
      Considering a better than expected performance of Duke 375 and much better price I already feel sorry for that new Honda trio... No reason to go for CB500 unless you're a Honda fan.

        my only concern with pulsar is looks. for me its quiet important in determining appeal of bike. don't want it to go in R6/RC8 territory. Just don't make it funny or unappealing. that said, if they release it looking exactly like 200 NS, am ok with it.

        By the way, whenever am going on road, passing by 200 ns always attracts funny remarks from fellow passengers. if they tone down the radical, even better.

        Also, fun factor of 200 ns is not far off the mark than its orange nemesis. if only they supplies grippy tires ...

        • I think the top speed was one of the most anticipated information.
          I bet some tourers will be disappointed with the top 171 kmh speed, but in my opinion this is a very good top speed for this bike and higher than I expected.
          First, some forget that this is JUST a 375 cc naked street bike, and second this speed is with a very accurate speedo. On most other bikes the same speed would be displayed as 180+ kmh. And besides, how often and where would you ride at that speed?...

          I think that the bigger windshield (extra Power part) might come VERY handy when touring. It could have been a tad bigger though...

            • @ Praful..your going to make me steal this from their factory...
              I'm getting desperate for this machine now.

              Anything more than 150kmph is good enough for me for a naked bike. But I'm more enticed by the level of acceleration this thing has. Someone rightly said..it will solve the population issue to some extent.
              Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

                  At first I felt it was an exaggerated statement but now I do feel it has that potential to effect the population.

                    • Eagerly awaiting it's launch at the showrooms ( dunno when will they end the suspense ). Also I hope it's up for test rides, not that it's very much required . Reviews about it would be great too. Sooner the merrier

                          I don' think so that a bulk entry less than 20 bikes or so would entitle for a discount ??

                          It's a new product so very intense rarely would get any kind of discount so early.
                          But if you do get it than please share it with us!
