2012 Bike Launch Speculation Thread

[Horror]

I think there might be 3 reasons as to why they are delaying the launch:
1) They are trying to cash in on the duke(what most people are speculating)
2) The bike with current parts is having a higher price and they are trying to cut it down.(unlikely)
3) They have come across some some majour problem in the bike and are trying to fix it.
The cashing in on the duke hopefully and probably is the reason for the delay in launch.

What we saw of the 200NS were early release to market level of products. The test mules were just prototypes. The mass production of the bike has already started sometime in April first week. So point 1, 2, 3 are all hoax.

Its a proper software like beta to launch phase.

220F price

p220 is being retailed at 91,300 rs now,so can bajaj price the new 200 with in 1 lakh??

iS THIS On-Road price, and after the excise duty rise??

[prateek2210]

The thread should be named now "Speculation to heights"

[Shibadip]

yes it is.today visited another bajaj close to my place,the receptionist there told me that on road price will be around 1 lakh 5 thousand,bookings will be open from 1 st week of may and the bikes will delivered in 4 th week.

Just hope its not anothr date, which will go on to disappoint us.
About speculation at height, i think there was more speculation going on before the launch of Yamaha R15 v2.0

Thank You Mr Police!

So back to the topic - Speculations
A certain website has speculated that Honda is launching its CBR based CRF250L in the market, and a completely new 600 for India. I for one is pretty keen to know on the 250 (Hopefully it will have a bigger tank as a accessory)

Is there anyone else who wants a High Powered Impulse for touring?

isnt this the 7Liter fuel tank bike.

I doubt it can be used for proper offroading rides, i mean you can but certain limit only.

You cant head out like they do on ADV Rider. or can you??

[satyenpoojary]

Neah, I dont want to do proper offroading, but yeah a purpose built touring bike is what Ive been waiting for long. This is the best bet so far (if it ever comes)

[prateek2210]

The Ninja 400R might be just around the corner :-)

as of now for Canada only :-)

Ninja 400R - Street/touring - Model 2012 - Canadian Kawasaki Motors Inc.

Its a copy of Ninja650 (2011), with N250 priced at 3.20 (almost) and N650 at 5.10 (I may be wrong) I am little apprehensive whether this would get some buyers or not

Is there anyone else who wants a High Powered Impulse for touring?

Honestly some tourers like us want some thing more torque-y mill for those steep hills

XPolice What does that mean? Banned? In what way can anyone explain? Just asking and I follow the rules specifically.

[princesirohi]

infraction is like a warning, if i remember correctly.
but what has he done. ??

This is my first post on this forum . Not sure whether this is the correct thread or not. Both the 200NS threads are closed now so posting here.

While leaving for the office yesterday morning, saw a blue 200NS leaving the society gates. Tries to chase the guy but he took a different turn shortly after that .
Whole day in the office I was thinking who the lucky guy might be!
While returning, searched entire society for her. The guard looked suspicious of what I was doing but, who cares!!
Finally saw it parked in one corner. Was really excited to see the bike in flesh.

Some of my observations:
1. Bike had no pulsar naming on the tank or 200NS labels. May be out for testing.
2. The rear tyre hugger is single side mounted (The only place where Pulsar was written on this bike). Looks neatly designed to me.
3. It is made of hard plastic.
4. The bikes displayed at the launch had black colored panels on the sides of tank. In this case, they were in the same color as tank.
5. The tyre was Eurogrip with same thread pattern as the launch bikes.

Great catch Yogi ! Thanks for the effort and for posting. Here in Singapore we are sharing the link to your post to those interested in getting the bike
Maybe there should be a 200NS Owners thread now, no ? Could be good to start one with the specs, and the info we have on the bike so far..
