Bajaj has been working hard from a long time to define what the company thinks of sport biking and finally a name has arrived for the much awaited spirit of racing. RS ( Race Sport) , a totally new name for Indian bike categories signifies the importance of racing DNA in the new Bajaj Pulsar RS200 ( Known as Pulsar 200 SS before official launch in India) .

The most advanced Pulsar yet, the new Bajaj Pulsar 200 RS is nothing less than a super-bike in terms of design. The complicated looking front of RS200 houses projector lamps for increased visibility and style with an addition of LED eyebrows, which boosts its aggressiveness to a new level. Small yet attractive exhaust adds to its racing appeal. Body cuts and curves are marvellous and they definitely will leave all of your side thoughts behind.

Instrument Console
Like other Pulsar bikes, the RS200 also comes equipped with an Anasultanlog-digital instrument console. It features an Anasultanlog tachometer with digital speedometer, digital odometer, digital trip-meters and clock. The ABS version also features an ABS on/off light.
Engine and Gearbox
Expectations remained the same, the new Pulsar RS 200 is still imagined with the 200 NS engine. But for RS200, Bajaj has launched the Fi ( Fuel Injected) version of the 199.5cc engine. The Fi version produces 24.2 BHP ( 24.5 PS) @ 9750 rpm which definitely shatters the enemy's wining desire. A max torque of 18.6 NM @ 8000 rpm is produced.
