Too much imagination at work here bro..

Kawasaki is No.1 in Philippines largely because of the CT100, CT150 (Boxer 150), Rouser 135 (Pulsar 135LS) and Rouser 220 (Pulsar 220S).. that Bajaj manufactures and Kawasaki Rebadges as Bajaj - Kawasaki products and sells them in Philippines.

Well.. you maybe right.. but for me, i had the worst experience with my P180.. so i decided never to go for a Bajaj again.. again.. this is purely my opinion and I am good at maintaining bikes..

coming to the silencer.. it seems what you have pointed out is valid.. but like princesriohi stated.. that is surely an odd place to situate a silencer.. but again.. this is not the final model yet... they can make changes to it

Not to intend to start a debate here but Payeng bhaiya i stand by my word as i still remember those lines from the article i have read longback. And luckily i traced that article, thanks to google chacha.

Japanese two-wheeler giant Kawasaki has asked its alliance partner Bajaj to improve quality to tap the enormous motorcycle export potential while indicating that the Indian partner could consider pumping in more money in the venture as they had no plans for financial participation.

"Quality is most crucial issue... at the moment Bajaj may be satisfied with domestic market... we are talking to Bajaj for improving quality to export successfully," Shinichi Morita, managing director and president of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, told PTI during the ongoing Tokyo Motor Show.

Thanks. No hard feelings here too as everybody has their own experiences and opion. I only wanted to highlight that Bajaj has moved on from the past, but yes it still has a lot to achieve on quality front. Look at Yamaha, it oozes quality in its fit and finish and its stunning paint be it on FZ or R15 or even Ray. Yamaha is the true lord of quality for me.

Thanks for the link. But that's a 10 year old link (2003), a lot have changed in 10 years. The 200NS is a very big leap compared to the products of 2003.

But yes, things could definitely improve more.

Oh yes, Yamaha provides much better quality than Honda in India.. but sadly Honda gets the tag of quality even when it doesn't match up to Yamaha in India.

True that.. Yamaha has pretty good taste in all these terms

Me and my friend have the D390 in our minds.. and if the P375 has something better with a reliable engine and reliable spares... then We would go for it.. like me.. he too had a bad experience with BAL... so thats why we are in a dilemma.. no doubt Bajaj is growing well in the industry..

just praying they bring the quality to top notch

I thought motorcycle fairing was to reduce drag

This pic didn't impress me much.. Did I expect too much from Bajaj?? is it just me with this feeling or ?? The fairing looks too heavy and the seating looks like its going to be sporty posture... maybe this is not the bike..

Lets wait and see it in flesh

Chill buddy, this is just a 3D modelling job...probably the artiste got the dimensions incorrect. And yes, that fairing looks larger than a 'busa!!

Yup... you are right.. this is the modeling and usually the bikes look better in flesh than in pics
