  • Hi HBHPians: Sathiyan from Bangalore/OOTY

    Hi friends,

    This is sathiyan from bangalore and my native is Nilgiris in TamilNadu.

    I love riding bikes and so far i owned Yamaha G5,Bajaj CT 100 and currently having pulsar 150 from 2014.

    I am planning to buy 200NS Red and black.

    Current price of 200NS is 109150 in bangalore as on 9-Jan-2015.

    I intially planned to upgrade either 200NS or duke 390. First took 390 test drive in Marathahalli KTM.

    suddenly got crazy about duke 390 not only because of the engine power but the style+weight+ABS+tyres and cornering ability it had( i could feel all this when i was driving the bike)

    The bike was simply superb and i never seen such a powerful bike so far. was saving money to buy 390.

    But again my mind was asking me to go for 200NS. so just like that i went for test drive last friday.

    what a bike it is. such a beautiful bike(didnt like the style that much when i see it in internet/youtube or while seeing in traffic but when i saw it in person and i sat on it, i fell in love) from bajaj and the engine is amazing.

    My need for bike is 22 days office commute(currently in Marathahalli and planning to move to bommanahalli in coming months so from bommanahalli to Vydehi 20+20 Kms 2 ways daily ride) and monthly once or once in two months trip to my home in Nilgiris in ooty taluk 240 kms from bangalore oneway.

    So please let me know if 200NS will fulfil my needs.

    and i need 200NS with MRF tyres. Please let me know where i can get the same(Reason: When i took test drive in Khivraj motors last week near Hoodi ITPL. i was driving around 60-70 kmph, suddenly had to apply breaks. as always i just applied 70% fron break and 30% back break-no hard breaking. back tire almost came to sideways and almost went skidding luckily i released the breaks and bike came to normal.. ).

    Any other suggestions are welcome and i am planning to book 200NS in Jan end.

    thanks to nikzcool for his inputs already.

    Regards,
    SriSathiyan

    Hi Sathiyan

    Welcome to xBhp.

    The NS is indeed a wonderful bike to ride as i found out. The best Pulsar to come from the Bajaj stable. But at the same time difficult to compare to the Duke 390 as that is in a different category entirely.

    All the best for whatever you choose
    Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!

      I would like to thank my legs for supporting me, my arms for being always by my side and my fingers; I could always count on them.

        A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.

          Hi Sathiyan,

          Welcome to the club bro. IMO, 200NS is a good package overall. But D390 is all together a different area. What will be your budget. Since D390 OTR will be close or even more than 2L, which is 1L more than the NS. But definitely a worthy VFM package
