2012 Bike Launch Speculation Thread

[Dman]

They have gone ahead with the 35W headlamps

Oh so the site loads for you?

BTW Why is 35W that maddening? I was always the impression that all bikes before Avenger 180 had 35W lamps (Heck they still do!) isnt that the case?

The site was not loading in the afternoon, just checked it and its working fine!
35W aint good for the highways... especially the single/double laned unlit ones where i travel the most!

Ya.. that news is official..

So Kudos to MH guys..
Hopefully June middle to here in Kerala... MH about 2 states away from here :P hehee



Oh yeah.. I noticed..
hmm that is a let down... waiting for the "next week" to see the final production bike.



I saw it. May be its a test bike.

guys this was a minor glitch from the site the information in the tech specs has now been updated and now the ELECTRICALS section show the headlamp being powered by a H4 bulb 12V 55/60W. It is a pulsar after all...and when it comes to no.of features per buck ratio, none can match the pulsar.So guys rejoice...like what says in one of the old pulsar ads i saw in the print media of the 2005 pulsar upgrade -"FULLY LOADED AT THE THE RIGHT PLACES" and even after 7 long years this statement holds truth towards the pulsar legacy with the pulsar 200NS again taking the package even higher...hmm i guess there is only one word to describe the pulsar and let me put it out straight definitely male....

will the ex-showroom price as quoted in Maharastra be the same when the bike will be launched PAN India??
and is it only the other things like Insurance and tax which make the On-Road vary within different states.

Nope...the ex-showroom price will not be the same in pan India because ex-showroom price includes all the costs incurred by the manufacturer to bring the vehicle to the specific showroom.
Nearer the showroom to the manufacturing plant...lower the ex-showroom price and vice-versa (...well in most cases).
So don't expect the ex-showroom price of MH to be the same in WB...rather a bit more.

The CBR600F was homologated months back but Honda has shelved their plan of launching the 600cc for the moment. Maybe because all their imports are doing great and after the initial euphoria CBR250 sales have also died down.

hi mg what is honda doing sleeping ( 600cc bike )time to wake up honda and get the i4 600cc bikes to india now

[Shibadip]

Is Ex-Showroom price same PAN India?

Senior guys, please kill my doubt.
When bajaj launches 200NS this week in Maharastra, will the ex-showroom price as quoted in Maharastra be the same when the bike will be launched PAN India??
and is it only the other things like Insurance and tax which make the On-Road vary within different states.

[csajal]

Any updates anybody as to on what date the bike would hit the showrooms in Maharashtra this week?

Maaaaaaaaaaan Bajaj is making us wait!!

[Shibadip]

The Week that never will be

What a Super week its going to be!!!!
A super Champion's League FINAL match to begin with....
And it's the week where The Revolutionary 200NS is going to be launched!!!
Too much excited, and looking forward for an excellent "value quote" by Bajaj!!!!

I never say anything in thin air. It hit as low as 90 units per month. Currently doing 500-600units per month.

it may even go to much lower digits because those who planning to buy CBR250R is now changing to CBR150R(feedbacks from Honda showroom)
competition from the same company

[princesirohi]

So what have you decided to buy finally??

my bike loan was rejected due to poor credit history in CIBIL.
tried with two different finance companis.

so have postponed my plans to buy a new bike till a few months.
then, will try again, first for CBR, then for other available options. lets see who can give me a loan....

if you have any contacts, any help will be appreciated.

when i wanted to buy a CBR - few months back, i found out that, there was a serious lack of good finance schemes for CBR.

[princesirohi]

If I were you, I would never say that about MG
He talks what he knows, else he just poses!

even, i know that, i just wanna dig deeper into the actual numbers.

I never say anything in thin air. It hit as low as 90 units per month. Currently doing 500-600units per month.

What MG said is correct, It was in Jan-12 when the sales of CBR250R were down to 140 units compared to 2500 - 3000 units a month average.

thanks guys for the data, this is pretty low, still, they don't come up with any good schemes like- zero downpayment, zero % interest etc etc..

any data to back it up or just your feeling..?

Reason mentioned was shortage of parts and introduction of new motorcycle from competitor (May Be KTM Duke 200)

New model might have improved their sales again.

Hope they come up with their 600cc soon

@Jk and other who are waiting for NS, if you remember, somebody has put up a video of impulse offroading where red pulsar NS was seen, that video is of xbhp member niks_devil666, please go to impulse ownership thread and find the video in page 36 . Ask him for more info.

Can anyone confirm whether the probiking showroom(Now turned KTM showroom) will accept the booking for 200 NS??

No they will not. It will sell from all the Bajaj outlets

[Shibadip]

Yeah, thats a soothing news coming directly from Mr Rajiv Bajaj.
However the production will only be of 2,500 units in the month of June. Thus there will still be some Heart-Broken guys even in the month of July, if the initial demand is more than 2500 units.(which I guess will be much more than 2500, considering the buzz that has been created by 200NS since its unveiling)
