The new Pulsar RS200 is a well sorted, well thought-out motorcycle. It is also fast, no doubt. But, its true highlight is it's easy to ride nature. For prices, specification and pictures of the new Bajaj Pulsar RS200. The Pulsar is by far the most successful brand Bajaj has managed to create in the recent past. Not only has the brand spawned one successful product after the other, it is also probably the least notorious when it comes to model discontinuations; something the Discover brand is quite infamous for. So, what is it that worked for the Pulsar? Apart from the first mover advantage, it also packed in just the right noise, styling and performance flare that budding motorcycling enthusiasts were looking for. It was the ideal combination.The RS is based on the 200NS. So, it uses the same perimeter frame, the same suspension front and rear, and the same wheels and tyre specifications. Now the tyres might be of the same specifications, but these are in fact one of the best that MRF has produced, which we will get to in a bit. These apart, some of the styling has also been carried over too. The fuel tank(though with a slightly different looking cover on the RS200) is the same as the Pulsar 200NS, and so is the switchgear and the instrumentation.The engine on the Bajaj RS200 is the same as the 200NS; same bore and stroke and the same bottom end. But this one gets fuel injection. As a result the engine is smoother; the throttle response is crisper; and the power delivery, more linear and predictable. It also makes one PS more. which as you can tell, is near insignificant. Now, the RS thanks to the fairing, the fuel injection, the new exhaust, the ABS unit and those large tail lamp mounts, is 20kg heavier.
