I think HAL started making this Basant agriculture aircraft near late 1970s, and then it was redesigned as MK-II, it was a conventional braced low wing monoplane with fixed tail landing gear, and only 39 were built when production siezed in 1980, but did it came with Fi and that too in 1970s.

Guys lets drop the HALs (rather it's not needed).

Lets talk about P200NS alone,

The ultimate question is, would one get one with FI?

My own opinion is, we already have P200 NS with FI present in India and it's called Duke 200.

India is all about controversies, people first cried rivers because Bajaj made Pulsar 150 and Pulsar 180 very identical. Now people are crying for P200NS not being identical to Duke 200.

Yeah, HAL does make good showpieces for museums and from the name of this, I think it must be a garden or a park edition.

I do completely understand your arguments, FI is very well known and it really doesn't need to prove itself.

Coming back to topic, people voting here for FI, voted mainly because they heard good things about FI. Not even 1% of them are going to buy this bike.

For me? I like P200NS very much. I'm in love with this bike. I very much want this bike to live on. Right now Pulsar 200NS is really struggling in sales. I haven't seen the numbers but from the roadscene I can easily guess, P180, P220 with their ancient technology are beating P200NS hands down. Now once they plonk FI into 200NS, the prices will also be raised by 10-12k. And that my dear friend, in India, will make struggling Pulsar 200NS a complete dud (as in super flop product). I want Pulsar 200NS to live and that's why it should stay away from FI.

P200NS is only one of the two bikes above 1 lac which is a mainstream product (the other being R15). Niche products like Dukes and CBR can go flop themselves in India and still no harm will cause to the manufacturers. But when a mainstream product behaves like a niche, it sure piles up tons of losses for the manufacturer. And from a bajaj shareholder's point of view I really wouldn't like to see that happen.

So there you go, with all my heart and brains, I really don't want Pulsar 200NS to get FI for India.

India is all about controversies, people first cried rivers because Bajaj made Pulsar 150 and Pulsar 180 very identical. Now people are crying for P200NS not being identical to Duke 200.

Bajaj always plays games like this, first they introduce a bike, and market it as if they have put space age technology in it, then after some time vehicle sales starts to drop,then they either discontinue the vehicle or bring it with other name with 4valves and this or that, same case is happening with this bike first they lauched duke 200 with a different name ns, now they are fitting it with Fi, which again is an straight lift from duke, but why to purchase duplicate product when you can buy original ktm, secondly whenever they launches this ns with fi it's price will be at par with Duke.

Nice lines buddy
Check it out how many holes drilled in a cylinder head of a poor bike....in the name of technology.

Three holes for spark plugs and four for four valves. .....already seven in that.

As long as it doesn't make a hole in the pocket its fine :-)

I feel Fi might help increase the sales of the bike...it should be launched soon and with negligible price increase

Please don't strain your brain this much, you'll hurt yourself. Chill.
