BAJAJ PULSAR RS200 full review DESIGN,ENGINE

DESIGN:- The Pulsar RS 200's sportsbike looks are contemporary, but really busy and flashy, making this a bike that is not going to appeal to conservative buyers. A wide, see through visor sits in front offering a clear view ahead at night. The twin headlights do a brilliant job of lighting the road ahead, just as on previous Pulsars.

A raised, clip-on handlebar finds place here. Bajaj also provides handlebar-end weights to reduce vibrations as much as possible. Grips are soft to touch and work, feeling comfortable even when riding without riding gloves.Mirrors work decently well when astride offering good rear view.
Bajaj provides LED power for the Pulsar RS 200, including for the parking lights, turn signal indicators and rear tail-light. The taillight itself is a free formed cluster that looks a bit over the top.

The RS 200 is rather colourful, with parts such as a golden crankcase, alloy pegs and a dual-tone paint scheme.
ENGINE:-The Pulsar RS 200 has a 199.5cc, four-stroke, single-cylinder and liquid-cooled engine that now makes slightly more power, 24.2bhp at 9,750rpm, and 1.9kgm of torque at 8,000rpm.

The new Pulsar comes with a four valve-per-cylinder head with single overhead camshaft drive. The RS 200 also uses Bajaj’s patented triple-spark technology. The clutch has a well-weighted feel, and the six-speed gearbox shifts precisely, in a one-down, five-up pattern via a toe-shift lever.

The RS 200 is good for sustained cruising on the highway at an indicated 110kph. It's a quick bike and can sprint to 60kph in a respectable 3.76 seconds, thereafter achieving 100kph in 9.71secs. We achieved a true top speed of 137kph, the engine achieving maximum rpm in sixth gear.

Throttle response is nice, and the power delivery smooth. The Pulsar RS 200 is a really refined motorcycle. The RS 200 has a wide powerband, performance output in a nice, linear flow, although in typical sportsbike territory, Bajaj has kept this a really fun bike to ride, with performance best when up-shifting with the revs nudging redline territory.
RIDE & HANDLINGHANDLING:-The Pulsar RS 200 gets the tried-and-tested twin-spar, steel fabricated frame from the 200NS. The kerb weight is a shade on the heavier side, at 165kg, although this is not a bother when on the go.

The rider sits upright on the Pulsar RS 200 but with a little lean into the handlebars, not unduly straining the wrists. Bajaj provides the Pulsar RS 200 with a well-padded, roomy split saddle, which is comfortable enough for a bike with such sporty nature.

Ride quality is good, neither too soft, nor overly firm.

A delight when cornering, the Pulsar holds its line well due to its taut suspension and this is further enhanced

This is the first Bajaj motorcycle to offer the added safety of ABS brakes, although this is via single channel, working well but only for the front wheel.
FUEL ECONOMY
This time around, Bajaj has equipped the Pulsar RS 200 with fuel-injection, and along with its triple-spark technology, the bike managed fairly good fuel-economy. The RS 200 returned us a decent 34.2kpl in real world city riding conditions, this going up to 43kpl when cruising at more steady speeds out on the highway.
