Review: Bajaj Pulsar 200NS

Bajaj Pulsar 200NS


Finally a new horse from the stables of  Bajaj Auto is out the 'Pulsar 200NS'.
Bajaj Auto made us wait for the new Pulsar for a long time, and Hell Yeah! the wait was damn well worth it. Just feast your eyes on the bike for a while before reading further.......



 Doesn't it look outstanding??????


Design and Styling
Lots to talk about here starting with the name itself, The Pulsar 200NS this is an all new Pulsar in every respect, 200 is for the 200cc engine and NS for Naked Sports. The bike has been designed by Bajaj Auto themselves and has not received any help from the KTM designers and yes these are the same guys who designed the KTM Duke 200 for the KTM.
The most apparent bit about the styling is the mass centralisation that gives the bike a radical stance. The side profile of the bike looks great because of the wrap around type fuel tank, naked engine, split seats and the huge alloy wheels. You will see no graphics on the bike and yet the Pulsar has style of its own.


 My favourite part of the bike is the headlamp cluster. It looks like the face of a transformer and the styling makes it look aggressive and kind of has an 'in your face' attitude. The instrument cluster also works for me with analogue and digital both being used wisely. The Pulsar has two shades it will be available in red and yellow.
The looks definitely have taken the 2nd generation Pulsar to a new level and will sure Rule the Street!!!


 Performance
The 200NS uses a brand new liquid-cooled, 199.5cc, four valve, carbureted engine with a first in the world triple spark-plug system, coupled with a six speed gearbox. The engine develops maximum power of 23.17bhp at 9500 rpm with maximum torque of 18.3 nm at 8000rpm.
Well in performance it truly is a street racer and a force to reckon with.
This means the Pulsar 200NS will reach 60 in 3.6 sec and 100 in 9.8sec from stand still. The top speed is expected to be 136km/hr.
I am sure this has surely impressed all you bikers.....



The Pulsar 200NS is expected to be launched in April and the prices also will be announced then, but I expect it to be around the 90,000/- Rs. mark.


Like always leave a comment on the bike and your feedback is always welcome and it will be good to hear from you and if you want me to write on any particular topic do let me know!!!!!!!
