Re: I am planning to book Pulsar 200NS....I need some clarifications, please help

My point exactly. The costing for a machine that has such quality and techno, is just amazing. Makes it a steal anyday. Name one bike with a 1l price tag that even comes close to the 200ns. None.

And I never said anything about the duke. It's a different class all together. It's also preposterously priced.

And coming to why the dazzler and extreme don't stack up to the fz : I didn't mean to say that exactly. It was meant more for the ns. Sure the two stack up to the fz. Almost same footing actually.

+1 who would be riding 55kms daily approx!!
I think it's true because NS200 shares the best feature and power compare to price!! And don't forget prices changes all game all time!! I brought R15 over Ninja250, just because i didn't wanted to buy a bike with EMI

Here there are two cases:
1. I would prefer Dazzler just because it comes with Dual Disc and better average and topend..I don't need any zic zac in city or traffic...

2.Yes bro FZ is some where over and above other 150cc in handling and comfort! Even other 150cc owners would agree if they have ridden FZ in city! FZ handles city without any issues!! It's handling and braking is just awesome! Some where RTR 160 comes close to it in handling and braking, but not in comfort.

Seriously speaking I never felt FZ under power till 100kmph..post that it takes little time, but not that late as mentioned by some people! If I need something better then I will take a toll on mileage/topspeed.

NS200 is the best bike in 1L no one can deny it apart from RTRABS!!

No one can deny that Duke is much better bike then NS200 but it comes with a price diff of 50-52K

I don't know how much does a rider comes to know the difference of FI/Inverted shocks/DOHC while riding.

A FI advantage can be seen if a bike is standing still for more than 5-6 days and starts with out any hiccups!! My R15 starts after 7 days with out any hiccups, where as a carb needs a choke to start.
Apart from this there is no practical reason buying Duke200(other than you want jerky berky pickup instantly)

Duke200 is for those who don't think of NS200 at any point. Some people need everything advance! They don't matter paying more for it.(Best exmaple is Ninja 250 Vs CBR 250, both are almost close to each but still there are few who owns Ninja)

Top ends of both bikes also differ from small kmphs 5-10kmph !! Infact almost same INMO, I don't think any one rides his NS200 or Duke >140kmph all time

How is this head ache for Bajaj ? the consumer might go with any of the above 3 options available depending upon his usage/budget ,at the end he is buying a Bajaj product and Bajaj is gaining over the other competitors isn't it .

Nice one!!

At 1 Lakh Indian Rupees, currently you won't get a better bike than the Pulsar 200NS..

and its not just about the value for money thing, even the ride experience, performance and handling is among the best that one can currently get in India.

Plus for Tall 6 ft guys, the 200NS is ideal.

I've also felt the handling of FZ to be better in city. But now with dual discs Xtreme/Hunk should be able to be on par with FZ in braking.
Just wanted to point out the over hype for a product that is priced above than other bikes in the same class!

Re: I am planning to book Pulsar 200NS....I need some clarifications, please help

But the pricing is justified no? The quality, the looks, all demand the cost. Moreover, works out to same as dazzler. Xtreme is the only one that's priced lower.

P200NS is obviously the one bike that everyone choose. But along with the pricing comes the troubles too. Two of my friends have NS and one guy has had 16 visits to the svc in the past 2 months. Now i would without question go for duke if i did not want going to and fro to the svc. Bajaj has been famous for their UGs which keep on coming and is a serious problem for guys buying a newly released product. If going for NS then only opytion is to study what the problems are with the bike and wait for the UG to be released. And as someone mentioned earlier, bajaj manages to decrease the bike's performance by adding an fi!! Well i would agree to that looking at the history of it but who knows what the future has in store? And looking at the ownership thread and also my friend's feedback, waiting would be the option. But if the niggles are sorted out (if there are any), and if the bike has no serious problems, NS would be the best of the best <200cc bike in indian market without any doubt keeping in mind the pricing too.
Speaking of cbz/hunk and fz. Handling of fz is far better in traffic is what i think. I've never ridden the hunk with rear disc so maybe the performance may have increased a bit, no idea. But if fz had a wee bit more fuel efficient engine, it would be a gem..

i suggest you go in for the duke 200 or perhaps if u can wait duke 390 as the price diff is not going to be much between these two

Depends on the perception, anyways we shall stop this discussion as XBHP police is watchin the thread

Why you people are comparing NS with Xtreme ,Dazzler ??? NS will leave behind all regular 150cc eating dust.....Only R15 & CBR150 can Challenge NS..

one has to decide will he pay for that product or not ? It's in your senses rather than product!
If
+1
Very rare scenario!! My friends are all over 7K in 5-6 months and all are rocking on their NS200. NS200 is worth buying!

Duke is for people who don't bother for money but for features. And where as both bikes are manufactured by Bajaj so comparing the issue with NS200 Vs Duke is not acceptable, both bike shares almost same engine. So if a person went to visit 16 times a SVC, than I would suggest please ask this question in Ownership thread before conculding on NS200 and going for Duke!

Where as if I want to buy a naked street bike I will go for Duke. just because of FI and inverted shocks etc..though it's hard to distinguish while riding.

I mean pulsars have UGs by default and who knows, an improved version of ns200 may be introduced? Meaning another UG.. And of course NS is worth buying. Cause every bike in the market is worth buying. And also i agree that monoshocks/inverted once may have less practical significance but not fi. You can clearly practically find the advantage of fi, be it better mileage, longer engine life or nil cold start problems. Thats the reason why most of the newly launched series are getting fi. Since they are very advantageous.
BTW rode NS today for almost 20kms (unfortunately) and handling in traffic is amazing! Tank may seem big which contributes to the fact that the bike is bulkier than an apache or a std pulsar but handling was good.

Scarring true!

While riding it's very rare to get the difference of FI Vs Carb. But where as fine tuned carb would also behave almost same mileage, very close . Engine life is also very same.Yes FI is anytime best as it's advance tech!! Soon all bike will be inverted shocks etc!! the
