                  Awesome Product by KTM, this time they understand the Indian market very well.
                  If you are buying this motorcycle directly and have not driven a 390cc before, then this 350cc engine will give you the best performance. All the features are the same. Only the engine has a little less power, but that 4-5 bhp is not noticeable. However, the torque is a little noticeable, but as I said, if you have not driven a 390, you will not be able to understand the difference.

                  Power rocket
                  To be honest, I was confused between this and the the Triumph speed 400 but the 390 is just a different vibe. It's got an aggressive look that stands out in the college parking, plus in mumbai u need that instant power to gap vehicles. Nothing in this budget gives you this much performance , power , feel and technology its a beast!!.The acceleration is very unreal , but the enginge gets quite hot when you're stuck at a signal for too long. Suspension is a bit stiff, so you'll feel the mumbai potholes , but on highsway its very stable. Handling is very light yess but keep in mind its not a family bike. its for people who love speed and beginners pls stay away cuz power delivery is very sharppp. Best 400cc . Best for long rides and joyriding. Crazy beast for real

                  Bajaj Pulsar RS200 is a great bike if you are looking for thrill and throttle. The performance is really good but the comfort is compromised due to the obvious nature of the bike. Stylish look and modern design makes the bike look adorable. I trust Bajaj and their Pulsar RS 200 also because the bike is fairly priced at around 1.7 lac.

                  I passed my high school with good grades and i turned 18 as well, that is when it all started. A friend of mine recently bought a RS 200 which kind of attracted me. I drove it once and that was it when i realised that this is the bike, the perfect bike for me. See now it's been over 5 years since I've owned this machine. So far, so good. I've drove this bike more than 1 lakh kilometres and trust me, the punch is still there, pretty good mileage of 28-30 km, you would get service centers almost everywhere, the service and parts are affordable and easily accessible. Also the main part is the care and maintenance of the bike, and i still think the bike is absolutely perfect for the next upcoming 10 or maybe 20 years. See if you're someone who wants an all rounder bike, which the parents would also approve, this is the bike. It's a comfortable commuter, not only your ride is comfortable, the passenger, be it my mom, also sits comfortably on the bike. The riding posture and bike design is great, good for long trips and for the streets as well. It delivers great power while saving you thousands of rupees for petrol. Like 30kmps mostly at higher rpms, i can afford that. Say if you choose to drive at low rpms, you could literally cover 45-50 kmps, if you how to drive.

                  Bajaj Pulsar RS200 is really a good bike. It is a total valuable for money Best mileage around 30kpml. Or handling is very much easier while riding.look nice , headlight and back light is too attractive. It is an energetic bike. best bike in its segment. break system and top speed are too much good in compared to other 200 cc bike. I personally love this Bajaj pulsar rs200.
