On closer observation of the engine i found that the fins on engine block (not on engine head) are corrugated. I think we are seeing such a thing for the first time in India(world?). As the engine head comes with 4 valves and the power output is higher wrt to its cc i am expecting the engine might be generating lot of heat and that might be the reason for adopting corrugated fins.

Could there be any other reason for adopting corrugated fins? is there any other advantage other than increasing efficiency in heat dissipation?

Not true saar, it is indeed a "better" thing to have the petal design. The discussion we have today in India, is something that the west had long long before! Infact the world debated on whether or not the disc plates should have holes in it!

Yes we dont see them frying, but we do see them fading. For argument sake lets say we dont see brakes fading as well, then would you mind if your commute bike has NO holes in the disc plate?


Edit: The street racing wasnt for the discover.
I meant that in Bumper to bumper traffic, the constant braking could generate enough heat (for the brakes to fade) as it happens on "Racing bikes" in street on which people say petals are justified....

Pulsar 200 NS Website Updated

Hi guys,

I heard news they are getting ready to launch NS in phase wise manner starting with Maharastra by end of May and will be available for country wide sale from July onwards.

Good news is, they have updated their website.
Link: http://http://mypulsar.com/pulsar-200ns/

Check it Out.

Mods: I was not sure where to put this post. So I did here as I couldn't find any NS discussion going on.

This website is not opening !!!!

of course it doesn't, the url is garbled.

here's the correct one
Welcome to Pulsar200NS

Here We go man...Thanks for the Appropriate Link !! Hey don't forget to checkout 360 degrees view on this site..it's awesome .

HI to everyone . This is Abdul . A member recently joined xbhp . I planned to buy a new bike . And as i am from middle class family my primary concern would be millege. first i came across Honda twister , a 110 cc engine which has pretty decent top speed and had a fuel efficiency of 70 kmpl . And while discussing with my friends , came to know that one need not worry about the bike as it didnt have any major problems for months . so i was fixed in buying it . But few days back when i saw Discover 125 ST being launched . I was impressed with its design and features . It impressed me in the first sight . And u dont expect any other bike to give these features. But heard that u cant expect Bajaj products to be durable enough. And i am really confused between these two bikes . So please help me in sorting out .

Nowadays bajaj quality is a lot better. Advantage is that you can have rough use of bajaj bike due to its cheaper parts.Anyways for any query to buy a new bike you should post in the following link http://http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/what-bike/

Thanks bro for your information . but i think the link isnt working

Actually the link is to refer the "WHAT BIKE" section in the XBhp forum...

sadly enough ...it still comes with 35/35 w headlamp, the good part is ....it is HID ready, all DC.

it seems there is no thread running to discuss P200NS.

The 2012 Bike Speculation thread is almost a P200NS thread. But its "P200 launch focused".

Actually 13 PS of power is ok but what about engine RPM
engine rpm of 9000 means that the life of engine is reduced
Also max torque at 7000 rpm makes it a race bike and not a commuter segment bike

Generally 125 cc bikes should be looked as a long distance commuters bikes which are for comfortable cruising around 5000 rpm and speeds around 60 to 70 kph

Truly speaking 13 PS at 9000 rpm means 10.5 bhp at 7500 rpm hence this bike is nothing but its upper rev limit is increased till 9000 rpm thats it.
Even my TVS Victor GLX 125 cc produces 10 bhp at 7200 rpm
Honda Shine produces 10.3 bhp at 7500 rpm
Bajaj XCD 125 has 9.5 bhp at 7000 rpm and torque of 10.73 NM

Why I am saying that 125 cc bikes should be looked as commuters delivering 10 to 11 bhp around 7500 rpm and max torque of 10 to 11 NM around 5500 rpm
These factors make 125 cc bike an excellent commuter
If a sporty bike is required,I think that the engine must be more than 180 cc then only you get a realy sporty experience.
A 125 cc bike with just increasing max rpm to 9000 for power will give the sporty experience till 1 year and later on,I am sure that Bajaj will discontinue the model

What is happening of discover 100 cc
I am seeing that a 7 to 8 months used discover 100 emits smoke from silencer reason because people rip that bike rigorously because Bajaj has given 5 gears, and many features in 150 cc bikes but its engine is just 87 cc(Just 4 to 5 cc bigger than a scooty)
"Chalta nahi Daudtaa hain" is the ad given by discover people

I am adding one more caption to that ad

"Chalta nahin Daudtaa hain , lekin daudte daudte silencer se jaldi hi dhuaa nikaltaa hain"

brother...first please avoid quoting the whole as many of us are mobile users and have problem in accessing..

second bajaj i guess is trying to appeal those buyers who want power but not a very large bike...not everyone of us can afford a 70-80K+ bikes

if ur figures are correct and it does give 10.5bhp at 7.5k rpm its just like the normal commuter bikes with the added advantage of that u can push the bike further if u want...and the higher torque and power figure is due to the 4 valve tech as bajaj has used the same engine of the earlier discover 125 i suppose( cc accurate to the first decimal 124.6)

i find nothing wrong in making a bike which has peak power and torques at higher rpms..all performance bikes do...heck even all the pulsars apaches have similar figure...

what i think is tagging this bike only as a commuter isnt justified and people wouldnt complain if this was released under a pulsar name..

according to me bajaj has done a good job as this will attract city commuters who are tired of the old commuterish looking bikes and want a pocket friendly machine which makes u happy when u twist that throttle...

P.S never let that 1 single bad expereince sterotype the whole company...if a bike is well maintained and not ripped like a R1 when it is meant for the regular small streets..it will treat u well

smoke from the silencer can have various reasons..like engine oil used being too thin leaking into the cylinder and getting burnt gives out smoke...even bad quality petrol results in smokes...improper running in causes problem of glazed cylinder walls which can result in such a situation...and this could happen to any bike be it bajaj Honda TVS yamaha or any tom dick harry company...

Now those tiny Bajaj logo in front visor and Bajaj logo in meter console is trend by Bajaj.
First in NS and now in Discover..

Watch it in upcoming Pulsar's and Discovers..!
