    Like any 150cc normal! But in wet roads and rain any bike has more chance of skid then ever, Why do we need speed in rain?? Ridden sanely will have always a better grip and stability
    GS150r don't have any stability issue!!

    This thinking comes with heavy pocket only, where average and maintenance were never an option!!
    once in a while and once in life time has a difference!! So if you don't buy it now then buy it later when you start earning, very simple!!

    as per above situation that doesn't mean that you play with life on highway!!

    But I am not sure about apache tires.
    Apache is nice too, good aggression and speed with dual disc!! Tyres are also good, or can be changed later!!

    Replies in bolds.
    more or less SVC are same all over!! So if you think mileage with nice power then CBZ/Hunk/Dazzler or P150. P150 is one of the best 150cc bike with 55-60kmpl too. The only issue is it shows sign of ageing very early ay be in 2-3 yrs.

    How come P220 is fastest on highways than 200NS, it might be fastest in acceleration/Pick up but not in top end!!

    I heard both are approx same!!

      Hmm.
      Well of course no speeding in wet but even at 40 or less mopeds skid and so did old apache I have heard. [tvs tires no good]
      Pulsar 150 or 180 is good with looks average and maintenance but yes 2yrs down the line, it will be a liability on me.
      And yeah 200NS has more top speed than 220F ,don't know if it reaches those speeds as quick as 220F but top speed 200NS.
      My dad hasn't sold our first scooter till date[20yrs] and is in excellent condition so I will keep the bike with me for long period atleast 3-5yrs or +.
      First thing I need to do now is test ride avenger>apache>unicon>GS and do a research on maintenance cost for all of them.
      Does GS really come with 15ltr or 16lts tank?? o_O
      Fuel prices in my area are greater than Pune :P and cheating techniques ! !
      I think getting a bike with better average makes sense in my current situation as I won't be going for any touring or fun rides. I can buy another bike later.
      And yes Once in a while and once in a lifetime totally agreed ! !
      I am better off with buying a expensive powerful bike when I earn and can commit to its maintaining which is not possible in my current scenario.
      If everything's under control, you're going too slow..

        Guys, you both are highly mistaken..

        Pulsar 220F top speed 144km/hr.
        Pulsar 200NS top spedd 136 km/hr.

        Period.

          from above bikes GS and unicorn are almost same SVC cost. i guess Avenger is more affordable than GS or Unicorn. But mind it you won't get over 40-42kmpl. But Uinicorn or GS will give you good average, heard GS gives more than unicorn, approx same to P150.

          I think if it's unicorn then it should be Dazzler, you get the power of Dual Disc also.

          Other hand as you are a college boy, so i think P150 is far better in your league, because it will be affordable with good mileage and till 5 yrs if taken proper SVC then no problem at all.
          if you don't trust Bajaj then GS or Dazzler only!!

          Nope, NS200 is more on top speed than P220. And wind blast effects both bikes, little more to NS200.

          P220 is more quick in acceleration but not better than NS200 in top end and features, for almost diff 3-4k.

          And there are possibilities of P220 been stopped!

            ^^^ns 200 has better pick-up than 220 but lesser top speed than 220,stop spreading wrong info.
            and the question remains why do i race?
            every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

              correct..

              @topic - you should look at Karizma or P220F..both are under your given budget & are powerful enough for your needs..mileage will hover around 35-40kmpl depending on your riding behavior..& as you are planning to keep your bike for a bit longer period then I'd suggest you to go with ZMA..
              Suzuki Gixxer - Current
              Karizma ZMR <3 - Sold
              Apache RTR160 - Sold

                  You seem to have a high opinion of the P220. But sadly (for you), 200NS trumps the P220 in 0-60, 0-100 and quarter mile drag. If you have some other definition of acceleration / pick-up in which P220 beats the 200NS, we would be glad to know.
                  Advice is a form of nostalgia.
                  Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

                    No comments then!!

                    Then why i don't see NS owners zooming from signal over P220 ?? But same side P220 zooms out before NS200 comes to actions..

                    Infact i am glad to hear this NS200 is over and above P220 but still i doubt to belive this!! Anyways !!

                      Wrong info the other way round is still possible on a open stretch of highway.
                      0-60, 0-100, 0-120 NS is faster than P220. Both have a similar top end but on a highway NS which has a negligible visor gets affected and will not hit top speeds with ease.

                      NS is a bike which is more about Accleration than Top Speed!

                        @MG Sir, things are getting a bit confusing.
                        With 20cc advantage, shouldn't 220 be able to thrash the 200NS?

                        I read that 220 can hit ~150 on speedo and 200NS can manage only ~149.

                          that because most of the ns you see on roads are still in run-in phase,let them get over with their virgin period,the ns will prove its superiority.

                            Okies.
                            Pulsar 200NS is new so maybe I got it wrong.
                            Test rode new Apache 160, unicorn and avenger.
                            Good news is all the bikes are available whenever I need the delivery.
                            Apache looking pretty good in reality ,I actually didn't like the new looks when I saw it on TV and net.
                            Unicorn butter smooth,nothing else to say.
                            Both the above bikes are priced around 75k on road.
                            Avenger feels something different maybe because never rode a bike like that but even manager said it won't give more than 40km/lt for me.
                            Also a friend who is a mechanic also suggested to go for unicorn instead of apache as apache is high on maintenance as per him and quality issues.
                            Daddy liked the new CBR 150R and is saying it looks good bike o_O actually a guy from his office who owns p220f suggested it. When I pointed to r15 he says he won't buy me that sports bike now
                            Now I am ready to buy unicorn or apache but he is thinking about something else wah ! !
                            If everything's under control, you're going too slow..

                              So is it Unicorn or CBR150 ?? I would say when your dad is ready for CBR then give a second thought too.
                              CBR150 has fuel efficiency of 40-45kmpl too.But only appointment's is missing of some features!! Why unicorn?? when there is more better options like GS150r or Dazzler ???

                                cbr 150 r don't deserve the premium,convince your dad to get you a duke.
                                apache is not at all high on maintenance,rather get a ns 200..
