I literally cursed myself for not reading this one on 31st itself, just now browsing the Facebook and read about this travelouge on xbhp page and immediately start reading it [emoji4]

Man you sure are a hell of a rider who got a hell of a machine [emoji106]

Now I am eagerly waiting for the next update about the ride and your health also [emoji106]

RESPECT SIR .You have accomplished something whcih very few can even dream of.
And yes good to hear the Engine has juice even after 127 :-)

Re: 15 days ... 5000 kms .... 1 Pulsar 200 NS ... 1 soul

Hey bro ... I touched a top speed of 127K during Pune - Bangalore in certain stretches although i could have pushed it more. The engine did sound a bit restrained post 110 but twist the throttle more and it does respond and respond well... Atleast in my case, i never felt the engine was out of juice at any time during the journey.

This 5K madness has been inspired by someone I know through FB and has been travelling the world for the past 120 days on his BMW (dont know the full name of the bike).

Thanks bud .. appreciate it. This was nothing short of FUN and i am already working on plans of a long one in the near future.. destinations and directions yet to be decided though :P

Re: 15 days ... 5000 kms .... 1 Pulsar 200 NS ... 1 soul

Awesome; that 5000 kms solo under the belt is nothing short of an extraordinary accomplishment. The road reports and your narration reminds me of a similar trip I did last year, but I wasn't doing it solo. Amazing!!

*clap**clap*

Re: 15 days ... 5000 kms .... 1 Pulsar 200 NS ... 1 soul

BTW curious to know what is the top speed you touched .and from what speed the engine had to really work hard.

Re: 15 days ... 5000 kms .... 1 Pulsar 200 NS ... 1 soul

I knew it NS200 WAS SPECIAL.The engine is one gem of an engine,and people should be proud of thero choice .with such an awesome mileage hardly any bike will produce.down the line after 10 years this engine will be called as one of the best engines.

12^th August 2015
Udaipur to Daman

Distance travelled: 594 kms
Route taken:Road conditions: AWESOME all throughout. Beware of spell bounding landscapes which can throw your timing off schedule since you will not want to ride or drive fast to cover miles. SH5 is a DREAM to ride on. My two cents worth : try to include this highway on your route if you riding / driving through, you will not regret it. On the NH8 post leaving Udaipur take a left from Samalaji (about 20 kms post entering Gujarat. This is the ride in heaven; SH5 and continues right until Vadodra Bypass where you again join NH8 (be prepared for a more than harsh jolt back into reality guys !! )
Departure time: 0730 hrs.
Arrival time: 0830 hrs.
Time in saddle: 10 hrs.
Total breaks: 3 hrs.
Avg. speed:















Jain Bhojanalaya



Chutney Platter



I was hesitant at first to try out the chutneys however the temptation was too hard hard to resist. I took a leisurely stroll around the area with people staring at me, in gear, as if I was an alien from Pluto who had landed on the Earth and amid curious questions..















There are then I decided on the change of route and planned up the short ride to Daman.

I covered the entire distance to Daman in about 40 minutes due to the rush on the roads at the same time silently thanking my stars I did not push for Nashik because I realized I could never have done it. Nevertheless, reached Daman and there began my miseries for the day. Trying to locate the hotel which I had booked on the fly with Goibibo was tougher than finding a needle in the haystack. Add to that language differences and you have a deadly recipe for frustration.

Finally after about 45 minutes of hunting, inquiring, google mapping I was able to get the hotel.

cool man
Keep going.................

Re: 15 days ... 5000 kms .... 1 Pulsar 200 NS ... 1 soul



Bring it on !

Re: 15 days ... 5000 kms .... 1 Pulsar 200 NS ... 1 soul

Thanks Akshay I really appreciate the comments and needless to say I have only xBHPians to blame for this act of mine. The quality of travelogues and the mentally biketarded fellow xBHPians made me realise what i was missing out in life. This would be a ride to remember for the rest of my life; putting my body and my stallion to a gruesome test which both of us cleared unscathed and with rollicking colors.

Boss I will just say this much... from Dharwad to Bangalore is 400 odd kms and I consistently kept her up in the high 90s to low 100s for those 400 kms because of the pristine road conditions and minimal traffic. The 7100 oil performed brilliantly with minimal heating. No doubt the mileage was screwed up in that segment but who cares when the NS is so much fun to ride. You can keep him up there at high 80s, 90s the entire day and at the end of the day you ask him if he is ready for another ride he will still respond with the same roar as it did before; the engine just is so revv happy - the higher the revvs the happier the engine. The engine ... simply put .. is a masterpiece.

From Pune to Bangalore I averaged about 75 kmph over 900 kms .. do I need to say anymore bhai about the cruising capabilities of this engine.

Re: 15 days ... 5000 kms .... 1 Pulsar 200 NS ... 1 soul

Congratulations on a really long ride and thanks for including the road condition feedback. May I add here that it was awfully brave of you to make such a long ride during the monsoon season. Waiting to read the rest of this travelogue.
