The bike comes with added guards and mounts for touring bags, and was showcased at the Motobike Istanbul trade show
Bajaj Auto has showcased an adventure version of its Pulsar NS 200 motorcycle at the ongoing Motobike Istanbul trade show in Turkey. The showcased bike mainly carries cosmetic upgrades in the form of guards and mounts for touring bags. Bajaj might consider bringing this variant to India or, at least, get the accessories here.
Turkey has been an important export hub for Bajaj and it was at one of the motor shows there that we first got a glimpse of the Pulsar NS 160. And now, Bajaj has showcased the adventure version of the NS 200 there, which gets a lot of touring add-ons like mesh headlamp cover, knuckle guards and engine guard. It also gets a fork brace for added rigidity, though the forks themselves do not seem to get longer travel, despite its adventure aspirations. The headlamp gets what appears to be mounts for a large flyscreen. It also gets a phone case on the right handlebar, which should be helpful for navigation. The tail section gets a new number plate mount along with a rear luggage rack and mounts for saddlebags.
The NS 200 is a good bike for touring; it has a more upright riding position and the seat too allows you to ride for 100km, at a stretch, without worry. The suspension, despite being set up on the stiffer side, is pliant and handles most road imperfections with aplomb. Its 200cc liquid-cooled and carburetted single-cylinder motor makes 23.5PS of power at 9,500rpm and 18.3Nm of torque at 8,000rpm. Bajaj does sell a fuel-injected variant overseas, but we get the carburetted version which retails at Rs 97,715 (ex-showroom Delhi). Also, Bajaj recently introduced an ABS version of the NS 200 for Rs 1,09,715 (ex-showroom Delhi). The NS 200 competes with the TVS Apache RTR 200 and the upcoming Hero Xtreme 200R in India.
If Bajaj plans to launch the adventure variant here, they might price it Rs 5-6 thousand over the existing bike. The Bajaj pavilion at the trade show also had a stock NS 200 with a new grey/yellow paint scheme which might make it to India in the coming months.

Bajaj Pulsar NS200 User Reviews
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. Read More

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.Read More
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..! Read More
