2012 Bike Launch Speculation Thread

[vishnus]

Bring in either of this 2009 CRF230M Overview - Honda Powersports or 2012 Honda CRF230F Review HMSI or Hero motocorp please bring them on my personal favourite would be a affordable motorad

i think this model is bit outdated

i think this model is bit outdated

We are in a market where hero splendours sell like hot cakes the motorad if introduced will open a new segment (furthermore in US it was an automatic)IMO for indian road conditions motorads will prove to be allrounders more over if hero motocorp can bring some changes to the karizma then they should give the motorad a thought and upto my knowledge karizma shares the same engine as honda cr230M

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 buddy,after long day got a taste of new pulsar after the 200 thread was locked.

@Yogi,

thanks mate for sharing the pics of this beautiful beast. Looks lovely. Still I believe side panels will be black atleast as an option. The front frnder is black in the middle which looks quitee sporty. The one-sided hugger was a good thought to incorporate. Overall ♥ed its looks

[payeng]

nice found..

Not just Diavel but also the BMW R1200 GS has a similar single sided rear tyre hugger..

if anybody finds that single sided hugger hideous that even the Ducati and the BMW should also be equally hideous.

hideous?? ROFL

its called sporty same as BMW R1200

Bajaj has always had ducati as an inspiration(Pulsar 135NS??)...the NS looks bigger than the KTM in pics......
