The tail-light cluster design is something we are seeing for the first time on a production motorcycle. But I am sure the Kawasaki Ninja 300 played a big inspiration for them. With this new bike, Bajaj has taken a new design approach and that is evident with the tail section where they have integrated grab bars onto the tail component. The most interesting aspect of this new tank is the introduction of a horizontally placed cushioned tank pad, which I quite like. The finish given to the tank is not a glossy one but it is more of a rough fake carbon fibre finish. The fuel tank is not bulky and at the same time neither is it very sharp but Bajaj has integrated them well, leaving no gap between them. The perimeter frame is visible, but flows around really well with the rest of the bike. The cowl near the engine area doesn’t cover the engine and does more of an aerodynamic job. But this won’t bother the target audience because the RS200 is coming from Bajaj especially after looking at the overall performance package and value it has to offer. It doesn’t look bad, it is just that they could have slightly mellowed it down. The multi-panel fairing has lot of sharp and deep creases and its romance with the decals make it look overdone. The side profile of the Pulsar RS200 looks quite menacing. The windscreen is big and quite useful during rides. The turn indicators are the ones seen on the KTM Duke 200. It gets two LED pilot lamps, which are flanked by small decals to make the design lively. Look very closely and the placements of the two projector headlamps will remind you of the rattlesnake – very aggressive, and with a character of its own. The front fascia reminds me of the Bumblebee from the famous Transformers property. But while I appreciate their effort, I find the motorcycle’s design a bit too busy. Some design inspiration is visible from the Japanese but the Indian industrial designers have done a good job.

The overall design language is fresh and aggressive. Let us agree that the Pulsar RS200 is the prettiest motorcycle with the Bajaj badge. In terms of competition, it goes up against the Yamaha YZF R15 V3. The Bajaj Pulsar RS200 is available in three paint schemes – Burnt Red, Metallic Pearl White and Pewter Grey. The exhaust canister is styled quite neatly and compliments the overall motorcycle design. The overall design cues are quite muscular with several creases and contours making it a very busy design. While the projector lamp was first introduced in the Pulsar 220F, the RS200 gets dual projectors. It comes mated to a six-speed gearbox and the rated top speed stands at 140.8kmph.Ĭosmetically, the Pulsar RS200 is the most aggressive-looking bike in Bajaj’s portfolio. This fuel-injected, four-valve, liquid-cooled motor churns out 24.2bhp at 9750rpm and 18.7Nm at 8000rpm. However, in order to suit its sporty character, the powerplant has been tuned to deliver more performance as compared to the NS. The Pulsar RS200 is powered by same 200cc engine that powers the naked Pulsar NS200. The riding position is slightly upright and is suitable for mild touring.

Unlike other fully-faired motorcycles like the Yamaha YZF-R15, the RS200 doesn’t have as aggressive riding stance as of a super sport motorcycle. Marketed as the fastest Pulsar yet, the Pulsar RS200 is designed to be a compact sportsbike. The Pulsar RS200 is the flagship model in Bajaj’s Pulsar family and it is the only fully-faired motorcycle in the manufacturer’s line-up. This Pulsar RS 200 bike weighs 166 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 13 liters. With both front and rear disc brakes, Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 comes up with anti-locking braking system. The Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 is powered by 199.5cc BS6 engine which develops a power of 24.2 bhp and a torque of 18.7 Nm. It is available in only 1 variant and 3 colours. Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 is a sports bike available at a starting price of Rs.
