The 200 NS is one of the quickest bikes in its class, this engine outputting ample torque. A solid mid-range and wide power spread make it easy to power this bike through city traffic, and it can sometimes take a little restraint to avoid getting carried away. Clip-on style handlebars, an upright riding position and abundant thigh support make the NS a comfy bike to pilot, even for tall riders like me. But, I can’t say the same about the Pulsar 200 NS’s sporty riding saddle, which could offer better padding over long distances.
The NS was surrounded throughout my himachal ride by sports bikes, cruisers and larger capacity touring bikes, which should have easily overwhelmed it, but the NS never let that happen. Two weeks and 2, 445 km astride the NS have, in the end, proved nothing short of blissful. My commute to work involves a 30 km ride and it has never felt so relaxing or fast. The NS sure beats the crowded Mumbai local trains and never-ending bus-stand queues. It’s a very well rounded package, whether for city rides or highway stints. And this is a really light bike on your pocket, with good fuel-economy(overall 35.2 kpl) that left a big smile on my face throughout my ride.
