                  NS 200 best of all time
                  No vibration, perfect riding position, best performance, all rounder bike. And because I trust the bajaj and in this segment this is the best bike i bought. And the good one is gearing position, I like the design of my bike. Mileage i got on highway around 40 kml in cities 34 around, but best handling in every way. I ride the bike around 1900 km and I got the good mileage i observed there is no mileage drop in this segment. I ride around 50 km per day. Don't buy if you are not a men. Because pulsar is only for men. I would suggest this bike for every men, it is also best for college students and office mates. It attracts the whole attention of everyone.

                  the best ever
                  The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 is one of India’s most popular 200 cc streetfighter motorcycles, known for its powerful engine and sporty character. It’s powered by a 199.5 cc, liquid-cooled, 4-valve DTS-i engine that makes around 24.1–24.5 PS of power and ~18.7 Nm of torque, paired with a smooth 6-speed gearbox that delivers strong acceleration and a top speed near 140 km/h, making it fun for both city rides and highway cruising.

                  The underrated gem
                  The first gen 200ns was the bike I fell in love with back then, so I always wanted one and hence got the current version of the bike. Apart from that the character of the engine and mainly the muscular timeless design and the sound...! The ride until now has been pretty pretty good, Yes there are some nacks here n there in terms of the build quality, fit n finish and some minor vibration aroun fron visor and rear seat, But the bike feels soo much emgaging to ride, everytime I'm on the bike it wants me to rev the engine all the way, and I find myself smiling inside my helmet. the major chunk of power comes above 6k rpm and that's where all the fun starts. All though the engine is much much more refined than the original 200ns but still you can feel that aggresive character in it. I feel the braking could have been better specially the organic brake pads, I think bybre was much better. And the abs kicks in a bit sooner than needed. In terms of handling this bike is such a gem, with the new usd forks its better than ever, the bike feels so like yet so stable on highways and once you get it into corners, then you can actually unleash the full potential of this machine, the chassis and dynamics are so good, the bike just flows into corners, I think bajaj can do better job for tyres as well, the bike demands 110 and 140 sections. But Bajaj being Bajaj, they had to do cost cutting so. Overal I'd say an amazing experience so far not a single moment of regret. All I have is satisfaction and the urge to get on my bike again and go out for a spin...! Okay so if you're someone who is very much into techy features and all those stuff then you should stay away, there are many other competitors who are much better. But i think that's not the purpose of this bike. This machine is for someone who just wants to have fun every time they get on the bike, someone who want to feel that rush and adrenaline surge into your veins everytime you ride the bike, someone who wants to lean how to ride fast the right way, someone who cares more about the engaging riding feel and experience rather than spec sheets filled with all the tech gizmos... You should definitely go and have a proper ride on this bike to fell all that beforehand atleast once..!

                  Perfect bike
                  Main isko choose kiya kyu ki iska perfect balance hai performance, and comfort handling acha lagta hai isme competitive ke Muqabla daily rides ke liye bhi bht sahi hai toh apko bhi lena chahiye yeh bike. Sahi Bolo toh mast bike hai tour Ke liye to Bahut Sahi Hai Bahut comfortable Hai iska engine bhi bht smooth hai iska handle bhi smooth hai, iss price point me value for money hai bike apko lena chahiye. Abhi tak ka experience bhot acha tha smooth engine better performance or good handling abhi tak toh bhot sahi hai or Agar Aap aisi bike dekh rahe ho jo short ride or long ride, dono ke liye toh lelo bike.

                  Winner from Hero!
                  Absolutely the best in its segment. Feels like you are riding a bike. Much better than Aerox in terms of riding posture, comfort and overall performance. Some minor quirks like a dated instrument cluster, unimaginative glove box, limited storage etc. Engine performance and acceleration is nice - Aerox is tad faster. Go for Xoom 160 without a doubt!

                  Major Hit with some Flaws
                  I chose this bike as I wanted an upgraded version, bigger tyre size, better power, and with an ABS, good suspension and a bit of off-roading as Mumbai roads are pathetic . So no other bike in the market offers these things aerox is there but it has a harder suspension that is tough on shoulders positive ride , for someone who uses the scooter for daily commute this is a major upgrade than most of the scooters available in the market. The pickup is good , braking is amazing , the handling is a bit hard, it is just the engine sound that is a bit off Yes I would recommend this bike to anyone who uses Burgman scooters in that segment if they are looking for an upgraded version. Every scooter has its ups and downs but here the ups are more and it is the most practical choice in the Indian market.
