3 Speculation Threads Approved and Merged

[Samarth 619]

I'm doubtful about this Honda, but TMC has a little credible reputation. Other sites are just plain unknown to us.

Even the Thai translation is below and it proves nothing conclusive enough:

Bro and gentlemen, Via a blog visitor, sketch a picture of the so-called Next Sketch Tank Sport 150 cc Honda stopped TMCBlog HQ. . . let's look at the details if it was pointed out as worthy tank fuel tank Next Sport 150 cc Honda that he had a chassis twinspar turbular? let. . . .

seen from the sketch looks like the top of the tank tends narrow. . . getting to the bottom, it has widened. . . seen from the sketch on top of the tank is not the same as the tank Vixion or CBR 150R. .. The second is the yellow circled area denoted by tmcblog and B regions. . . tmcblog annunciator area as an area nempelnya shroud. . . so presumably the Next 150 cc Honda grille, aka the mysterious shroud that would have disconnected the fuel tank. .. areas within the circled area B which tmcblog with gray color pointed out as the place where the Shroud is connected to the tank

Then we move into the area which also tmcblog A circle with a yellow color. . . there such a sketch showing the 'insert' plus a hole that was allegedly as a bolt / nut. . . Detail is very similar to the details of the tank that is placed on the twin spar chassis type. These details reinforce that the next 150 cc Honda sport is also frequently called the trellis mysterious tmcblog allegedly using twinspar chassis type that can be made of steel material (such as CBR 150R and Vixion) or can also be braided pipe turbular commonly called trellis type chassis. . . . so is getting stronger with ya. .. live together as we wait for the baby while brojolnya collect piece by piece this puzzle. . . please comment and hopefully useful.

Why don't we get this model (Yamaha FZ1)?

Hi all,

Please watch the video below.
The FZ1 model that people get in India looks like the FZ16 only, but the one here look like Fazer 153 with dual lamps and a bikini fairing.

Or, is this a new model for 2012?

^^ Was watching Rajiv Bajaj's interview yesterday in ET Now, he did mention about another big launch is going to be there this year! that too after mentioning that they have already launched P200NS, D125ST & Duke 200. My mind started racing with speculation, it could very well be P150NS!!

@Princesirohi, completely agree with you, 250cc makes more sense if they are bringing in a bike with fairing! but then, they have already got a potent 200NS that just needs fairing to go head on with CBR250!

Vrugonnab: Is this the interview you are refering to?

If so yes, Rajiv was saying of about another imporatant launch in this year.

Could it be new variant of boxer (BM100), as indiancarsbikes.in has some spy pics of the same in todays news(6/22).

Man...! This website badly needs a like button..... Mods can anything be done about it...?

[mid]

I don't see a 250 pulsar coming up. The already over squared 200ns has little scope to get re bored. And that 30-20cc upgrade bug with bajaj is gone for good. I think it is quite clear that next'll be a 350ktm and a pulsar sharing the same config.
These are my observations, anyway this is a speculation thread!

[Rahulbarik]

The duke 200 and 200ns are the top end bikes in the current platform... The next platform i.e. 250-350cc will see the higher capacity pulsars... And its very unlikely that bajaj will comd with full fairing before ktm does... In 2014 the ktm 350cc full fairing bike based on moto3 will be launched and i expect the same to be carried forward to the 350cc pulsar.. The 200 faired version in all probality is a quarter fairing... And i think rajiv bajaj said in the interview that within 2015 pulsars will go upto 750cc... And all engines will be single cylinder...coz the dukes will not use the multicylinder layout since higer end dukes are single cylinder... And since bajaj will use same platform forget about twin cylinder... maybe 10 years down the lane we can see a 4cylinder pulsar1000 on motogp bagging the podium.... phew...! Tall order i guess
