Pulsar 200ns, smooth engine yet powerful and nice brakes. I would have brought that if mileage wasn't a issue for me. My friend is getting 40kmpl by the way.

Re: Apache 180 or Pulsar 200ns or Pulsar 220

You are telling yourself that you don't need a p220.
Now choosing from apache and 200ns.
I think even rahul gandhi knows the answer,
Welcome to convincing parents time.it's the most cruel, even more brutal than failing in exams..!!
I myself had went through this torture for 3 months, to get a Ns instead of 5 yr old p150.
Some High voltage lines are.
1.this is first and last time I'll be buying a bike.I'm young see,after few years, life will be 9-5 .pls let me enjoy, let me live my life. You've done everything for me, pls this is last time I'm asking for something bigger(haha we all know it ain't last)
2. See a fz/p180 or a common bike costs 80k and 200ns Only 15k more (I know 20k, but don't say 20 or else bye to ns) ,and in those 20k, all my heartfelt wishes will come true.
3. Even a milkman has a p180/ bullet
4.Won't you do it for your son. .?(with extremely crying eyes)
5. Pls Pls Pls Pls papa ( reapeat this mantra every time your papa is in good mood)
6. I won't drive fast, you can have keys all time, I'll not go anywhere without your permission.
Alter as per your need.
Point 1 is like the bhramaastra
Ask if you need more.

Thanks for replying guys
Anyone with a little love for Apache?


I wish I could throw some tantrums but I am 22 years old, already working 9 to 5.
I dont need finance from parents but if they would agree then it would be better

Although I will definitely forward your HIGH VOLTAGE lines to some of my younger friends

Re: Apache 180 or Pulsar 200ns or Pulsar 220

I drove a pulsar 220 for 2 years and 8 months now and sold it on january 27 2014 and got a pulsar 200 Ns on 11th february 2014. Its been around 12 days that I got the NS and believe its a piece of cake . You will love it. It does have a better engine and great mileage figures. Do not expect that from the 220. The 220 is a bully to be true. I loved it initially but as time passed more and more problems. The main problem that you would get on the 220 is the fairing vibrating and the chain sprocket going bad too soon. The new dual coloured 220 s have been compromised of quality which can be seen by observing the old exhaust pipe of the single colours and the dual colours. The earlier ones were thick. Now coming to the Apache. It does not have a good stance or posture. And by your height the bike would be quite small and the stock tyres are preety bad. Even I am 5 feet 10 and I can firmly sit on the NS with both legs down straight on the ground. The NS has a great stance to ride. If u want to commute travel far or even want to do a knee down you will be glad that you owned a 200 Ns. The NS may not be the fastest but is definitely the smartest

Re: Apache 180 or Pulsar 200ns or Pulsar 220

Sir you're wrong, NS is the fastest in all bikes under 1.5L₹ ,way faster than all.in fact there isn't any 200 cc or 23bhp+ bike at all other than Ns in the price range.

Re: Apache 180 or Pulsar 200ns or Pulsar 220

P200NS all the way. The other two bikes are almost a decade old in tech now. So nothing to be confused.
Convincing the parents!!! Use all your Skills....

Re: Apache 180 or Pulsar 200ns or Pulsar 220

If I am not wrong the pulsar 220 can do 143 kmph and the 200 ns 136 kmph max. I was talking about top speed. Anyway I love 200 Ns. In love with it.

Re: Apache 180 or Pulsar 200ns or Pulsar 220

Ns has done 150+ ,mine does 148, in short, top speed doesn't matter, what matters is How Quickly You Reach There. And in that case, Ns has no competition in 1.50L₹ range

Re: Apache 180 or Pulsar 200ns or Pulsar 220

200ns is better than 220 and rtr 180. I was also confused between rtr180 and ns but now i am happy i bought ns.
Pros
Superb looks.
Comfortable for rider and pillion ( did 100 km ride with my girl on a bad road)
Awesome pick up.
Good mileage got 32 (worst)when tyre pressure was 10 psi less than the normal otherwise 35-40 on mixed riding conditions.
Cheap to maintain, my first service cost me only 680 Rs (engine oil and oil filter change ) and 2nd service was done for 120 Rs ( 90 for chain lubrication, 10 for coolant top up, labor and washing was free).
Superb handling, braking and control.
Bike can easily cross big patholes without any deviation from its line so its safe and easy to go fast.

Cons
Rear disc break noise for 2k km which do not effect braking performance or acceleration but still annoying.
Exhaust note is not good.

I bought it with my own money and i am loving it.

Re: Apache 180 or Pulsar 200ns or Pulsar 220

Same is the case with me bro. My parents infact told me to get a 150cc instead of 200 Now I told them I am buying the apache 160, but will fix 3k more and get the 180. By the way I rode both NS and apache, Liked tha RTR more <- I know this may sound awkward to some.

Re: Apache 180 or Pulsar 200ns or Pulsar 220

Not awkward at all. You definitely liked the low end torque of RTR and the bassy exhaust note. I love it too.
About NS, it requires the rider to make use of it's higher rev range, Above 7k RPM is when the fun "starts". That's when you will enjoy the rocket ride .. the pulling force and the exhaust note too. But it can also tire you out. Then you may wanna bring down the RPMs to 5-6k, it's sweetest spot in rev range.

Re: Apache 180 or Pulsar 200ns or Pulsar 220

Guys who is really going to check the top speed? For how many sec you have done the top speed? Hardly 30sec? Thread starter is looking for a bike for city use & some time on highways. If top speed what he want, he would have chosen a different bike. It's not about the top speed. How you manage your speed inside city condition. Don't get fight into who is the fastest here.

Mods: If my post is rude please delete this post. Sorry!

@Ne1565: 200NS & A180 is best for city use. Cars are good when you go with your family for a long journey. But bikes are too good when you travel alone or with you loved one in city. Nothing can beat bike riding inside city.

Do take a TR of both bikes & finalise it.

Re: Apache 180 or Pulsar 200ns or Pulsar 220

What about mileage of both?

I know NS200 gives 40-42 kmpl as my friend said. What about RTR180?
