The RS200 is not as entertaining as the R15 or the RC200 - those bikes are in proper full-attack mode from the word go, whereas with the RS, you need to spend more and more time on it to get familiar with its boundaries and character. Its limits are not as great as its rivals from KTM and Yamaha, but at being a flaunt machine, the RS200 might just be good enough for some unusual college-goers.
The tail-lamps, too, are just a bit too weird, and the rear section from the front seat on, leading up to the lights reminds me a bit of the Karizma and the original Xtreme by Hero. Strange, I know. The RS200 looks a bit over-the-top, a bit too try-hard, a bit silly, a bit brash, and a bit fussy. It gives a sense that Bajaj designers were deliberately thinking hard to make the RS200 stand out. It may have worked in a way though - the RS does catch the eye easily, but not in the most pleasing ways.
The RS200 is, as can be clearly experienced, more aggressive than the 200NS - so, expect the fuel efficiency to be lower than its non-faired sibling: mid 30s(35Km/l) or thereabouts I guess.
