Hello friends, now I'm going to review on the Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS.Firstly, altough this is series from Pulsar, but it is very different than any other pulsar bikes. In the flesh, the 200 NS looks a lot better than on screen or news spreads. The first thing one would notice is that the trademark bulging Pulsar tank has now been replaced by a newly-designed unit. Storage capacity has shrunk to a maximum capacity of 12 l. Visually though, the plastic panels alongside lend it with a larger yet sharper look. The overall sharp styling has been combined well with the swells around the headlamp. The unique design of the headlamp lends an aggressive stance to the motorcycle, when viewed from the front. The side profile is complimented by sharp yet smooth lines. The neatly tucked in exhaust in the underbelly not only looks good but does great for weight distribution, as it allows for a more balanced bias between both sides. A huge positive factor for Bajaj Auto in the development of the 200 NS was the access to KTM’s technology from the Duke 200. The Pulsar’s liquid-cooled 199.5 cc engine is largely based on KTM’s short-stroke engine for the Duke 200 and develops a little over 23 hp. Bajaj Auto, however, has added some of its unique engineering touches, which are good examples of frugal and effective engineering. While both engines are largely similar at the bottom, they adopt different approaches for the upper architecture.
