Could not agree more!

I am in the Automobile Dealership business with Bajaj as our main Competition. The reason the NS has barely changed is that like the Pulsar and Enfield Classic/Bullet they are aware that making revolutionary changes will not lead to increase in sales. Case in point the new Pulsar 250 twins which did not do well leading to them bringing back the 220. It’s the same reason the Activa looks the same generation after generation, ditto for Classic.

Absolutely. That's why when Honda launched new Unicorn 160, the sales tanked and they had bring the old Unicorn looks back. Same reason why TVS also sells old look Apache and Bajaj recently bought pulsar 220F back. Indian manufacturers should evolve their bike's looks like Yamaha did with R15 V1 to V2 instead of completly changing them.

After a long time Bajaj thought of adding dual channel abs and now Atleast u guys could add some LED lights ..rest all are fine ..😅 Why only looking in the sales if u can't bring revolution which defines you 😮 hiking prices only ..220f is now costing more costly without any 6th gear/ dual channel abs ..is this what re-launching meant by Bajaj

True it hasn't been updated in terms of design. True other manufacturers update. But this still has a cult following and DOES NOT cost a bomb like other similarly spec'd bikes. The price and the performance it offers is still a good value. Will wait for your comparison video.

@@vroombk True. Addition of USD won't make much difference but it's a step that remains true to the character of NS being a no nonsense bike since upgrades like USD aren't gimmicks and provide better value than Bluetooth or led indicators. I don't get the trend with every manufacturer putting Bluetooth connectivity option in their bikes, it probably increases the cost by few thousands and I think won't be used by 99% of people.

@@VikasJaink 3 of the 4 points you mentioned can be done aftermarket except for slipper clutch but of course it would be better if the manufacturer does it. Headlamp should definitely be updated with led and slightly newer looks. I hate the sticker job on entire Bajaj lineup, this wasn't the case in BS3 200NS, plain colors are needed. They should launch no sticker purple and green color.

No Painter I don't agree, No need for a completely New NS, it's the Design that people Love ,you see what happened with the New F250, super flop,so flop that Bajaj was forced to Bring back what most Journalist called the Old Pulsar 220f in Less than a Year, I think Bajaj has done the smart thing with the NS by not touching the Looks and design & giving it new features like dualchannel Abs, USD forks Gear shifting Indicator etc n Nobody needs a Blutooth it's basically useless n Nobody uses it,. What people want is New Features not Design change because a Good-looking Bike Never gets Old.

this bike is not for pea balls who like to have more gimmiks then power , a bigger console then a engine or all leds too make their bike look like their pink neon room, ... this bike is for the 90s man who likes to go braaaapppp on the twistys smokeup the tyres & pull the thongs ridings on their LCD console scared at 60 with dual ABS & Traction control .!!!

What is this comment 😂

Dear Varun, I think NS has been reintroduced due to the fact that there is a huge fan following for the original version. Else bajaj would have stopped the same. Bajaj remains the only manufacturer who releases both old and new bikes, thus giving customers options to choose old favourites or new line ups A design overhaul in already futuristic design may wind up its life since the cult following is the reason why it is reintroduced Also the new N series bikes when focuses on meaty low and midranges, the old NS especially the 200 is for the revv loving riders

It just needed an led light setup. Instead of USD forks could hv covered the basics as mentioned. Which would hv grabbed the eyes of young generation who are all prefering the MT15 Bajaj is somewhere stuck in 2015 yet. The brand which had class leading features is just lagging behind.

@vroombk

I agree

In trying to give new design ktm really messed up... I think until bajaj don't create a better design there is no need to change in its looks.. It's still beefy looking bike, Ignore this guy's opinion regarding looks of the motorcycle in this video.

Bajaj doesn't update the ns twins because they think that people will buy them just like they are. And they're probably right. But 10+ years of this, almost makes it seem like they're taking us for granted. 10 years was enough to make some design changes, maybe make it lighter... Idk.

​@@SurajSinghTomarArya Bike is not only about performance, people like features too add a variant and give features.

I don't get the point of having NS 160 and NS 200 as an option in the market. N160 and N250 feel more modern, smooth, refined and efficiency is much better than the NS series. Power and Torque delivery is also much better in N160 and N250. In 2023, you don't even get frickin' LED headlamps or DRLs in the NS brothers 👿 but yes, the muscular stance might be appealing. Apart from being a hard core enthusiast who wants to rev the nuts out of the bike and extract the most fun out of it, NS Series makes no sense in 2023!

These guys want buetooth, wifi an appstore on the NS' instrument console. Fck that, i want the NS to stay raw and mechanical like the way it is. The design is beautiful, and for people who want wifi and bluetooth on their bikes get a new smartphone or tablet and stick it to the dash, voila u get apps, wifi calling, full on g-maps9not just pathetic turn by turn navigation, OLEd screen. Who the fck wants all that when that shod e the priority of a performance machine ? The whole automotive media seem to have forgotten what it means to ride a performance motorcycle. Seriously grow up. As far as led headlights ae concerned that is a reasonable demand, but the R & behind that to incorporate to the NS would increase the price significantly which will lose the the vfm performance machine tag. The NS need USD Forks and Dual Channel CBS and Bajaj have given that instead of discontinuing he gorgeous raw machine. There cn never be a new NS without shooting the price to 2.5 lakhs.
