Bajaj Pulsar NS160 And NS200FI Breaks Cover
Bajaj showcased the new 200NS which now gets fuel injection along with its smaller 160cc version.
Both bikes were showcased at a recently held dealers meet in Turkey. Might be launched in India by the early part of 2017.
Bajaj has been updating it’s range of bikes in lieu of the upcoming emissions norm. It was one of the reasons why they discontinued the 200NS. Now at a recently held dealers meet in Turkey where Bajaj exports its bikes, they showcased the new 200NS which now gets fuel injection. Also there were talks of a smaller capacity NS version on the cards. Instead of a 150cc NS, Bajaj has decided to go for a 160cc mill which brings it on the same platform as the Yamaha FZ, Honda CB Hornet 160 and Suzuki Gixxer.
The Pulsar NS160 is bolted on the same perimeter type frame that is shared across the earlier 200NS, RS200, AS150 and AS200, and the latest Dominar 400. The new 160.3cc oil-cooled 4-valve mill puts out 15.5PS at 8500rpm and 14.6Nm of torque at 6500rpm. It gets a 5-speed gearbox. The NS 160 carries similar styling as the 200NS and the new bike gets a bellypan fairing. The bike weighs 135 kilo. While the front wheel is the same size as the 200 NS, the rear wheel is a smaller 110/70 section instead of the 130/70 on the 200NS. For braking, the bike gets a smaller front disc, rear disc and ABS as an option. It gets a new paint scheme, while other body panels and dimensions remain untouched.
The new Pulsar NS 200 FI has the liquid cooled single’s displacement drop from the earlier 200NS’s 199.5 cc to 194.4cc. The cubic capacity drop could be due to a new piston crown for the fuel injection. Power is up by one PS to 24.5PS at 8000rpm while torque remains the same 18.3Nm at 8000rpm. The engine is mated to a six-speed gearbox. The bike retains the same styling as the earlier model with the addition of a bellypan fairing. The bike will get ABS as an option as well.
While these bikes are slated to launch internationally soon, we expect these bikes to be launched in India by the early part of next year.

Bajaj Pulsar NS160 User Reviews
Good handling and medium breaking, medium performance for short time city and highway riding, good sharp stylish looking naked bike, good road presence, low service charge with medium mileage 30 to 40 kmpl. Long ride comfort is not good after 100km. Wrist pain and shoulder pain, good handling bike. It's give you confidence to flicker very easily. Front break is good stopping power but too much abs kicking problem, rear brake is not good, no stopping power. Top speed after 2nd service 124 highest, mileage not that good 40 km after simple riding. If you ride aggressively, mileage can drop upto 30-25 kmpl. Can recommend this bike to the youngsters who go to college and those who want to explore many places on bike. Short time riding and some time aggressive riding and those who want naked sports bike in low cc and low service charge bike, this is good for them.Read More

The bike is good handling and performance but the mileage is not that good, it gives me 30-35 kmpl mileage. Meanwhile, the other 160 segment bikes give more mileage and it's not that smooth at higher revs, feels too much vibration. Design is good and handling is good but not so comfortable feels pain in back and shoulder after long ride as it's sports bike.Read More
I got this bike when i was 18 back in 2019, after almost 6 plus years and 30 thousand kilometres. I personally see this bike as the best value for money one can get. Apart from that this bike is still relevant after all these years. The one thing i like the most about this vehicle is its handling. If maintained well this bike gives a smooth and comfortable ride be it in city or highway. Mine is twin disc variant with single channel ABS, break bite is quick enough to react in emergency breaking situations. The only con I have noticed so far is bajaj's parts durability. Though they offer parts at cheaper rates comparatively but still it becomes a headache when you need to replace them more often. Will recommend this bike any day. For me this is a perfect package of commuter, adventure, long riding basically everything. I have done 500 kms in a single day stopped at every 100 kms for nearly 30 mins and the bike performed very well. This is a perfect bike for those who look for a all-rounder bike with low maintenance.Read More
