Overall a good bike on this price
Handling is very good,it's comfortable riding position, decent power delivery,and good handling for a sporty-touring style bike actually it has a aggressive and primium look. The 210 cc engine provides enough power for most riding situations with a smooth torque curve. Some of concerns- slightly vibration is a noticeable at mid range, rearview mirror view is not good,also paint quality is not good. Suspension is a bit soft on rough road, especially on higher speed. Overall Go for it good value for money product.

Rs 200 bike of 2024
1st I wanted to choose the yamaha r15 but got some choices from friends they told that pulsar is good and durable this i once took an test drive of the bike it was ok ok but the looks got me going compared to r15 mostly the tail light and the front doom which like to showoff to my friends thus rather than going to the 1st choice I chose the pulsarrs200 black and red stripes one thus I'm satisfied with the results that is giving me thank u Bajaj Pulsar from my side.

My dream bike.
कुल मिलाकर, यह उन लोगों के लिए एक बढ़िया विकल्प है जो शहर की सवारी और कभी-कभार ट्रैक उपयोग के लिए एक प्रदर्शन-उन्मुख मोटरसाइकिल की तलाश में हैं । हाँ, पल्सर RS200 एक बेहतरीन मशीन है। इसमें वह सब कुछ है जो आपको एक टूरर के लिए चाहिए, इसीलिए इसे स्पोर्ट टूरर बाइक भी कहा जाता है। आप 100 से 120 की स्पीड पर घंटों तक यात्रा कर सकते हैं।
