4 years ago
Utkarsh
I want a bike which is very powerful and look bold so i decided to buy bajaj pulsar rs 200 which is best in its segment the body of this bike look bold and best in the segment it come with twin projector headlamp which give aggressive look to this bike. Riding experience is very comfortable on comparing this bike on its segment all through it is sports bike. Good performance and look aggressive. Pros.. Heavy use of plastic. Cons.. Powerful bike in its segment because it come with bajaj dtsi engine.

Pulsar rs200 most detailed information and review
4 years ago
Jeet Sarkar
I was planning to buy a motorcycle which would be a second hand 2017 duke 390 which i was getting in a price which is equivalent to the new pulsar rs200, i was looking for a bike which can do a good digits of top speed and have good acceleration and the main thing was to do highway riding between 100-110 km/h with absolutely ease with stressing the engine at all. Also i was looking for a motorcycle which is practically for commuter with good performance to overtake and also would be pocket friendly and reliable for longtime storage as well for like 3 to 4 months. I heard that the ktm 390's are the inexpensive to maintain amongst it's category compared with ninja 300 and other 300 to 400cc motorcycles. So i took a test drive if the motorcycle both the rc390 and the duke 390. Honestly i was very much impressed with the performance of both the motorcycles. Then i came home and researched a lot about ownership maintenance and issues, that was the point where i felt heartbroken. I saw many problems with the tft display and ride by wire throttle including few other electronic and the moist problem with the tail light, engine heating in traffic, poor fuel consumption in the city and all which got me into a negative impact also the tyres and sprockets and other parts was a bit expensive for me so i dropped the plan of buying the ktm. Also i had a conversation with my friends of friends who owns 390's. So i thought about the dominnar 400 which is a value for money product but it's the same the price of 2nd hand 2019 models were a bit higher than the ktm 390's and the older model of the dominnar i didn't like it also the price wasn't less. One fine day i was in the traffic and saw an rs200 by my side so thought about researching about the pulsar rs200 so i started. One day i went to the showroom and took a test ride and its was a very good motorcycle indeed not as blisteringly quick as the ktm 390's but it has very good performance and pickup. So it impressed me though i wanted to own a bit bigger bike but that was not comfortable for me with the maintenance and other things so i immediately decided to book the rs200. Also i had seen some people complaining about the vibrations in the fairing but honestly i didn't feel any though it was a bs4 model. The sitting posture of the bike is not aggressive or committed but its a very good for daily committing also touring purpose also the pillion seat is adequately comfortable. So i went back home and had planned to buy it on monday as i took the test ride on saturday evening. So i kept my research continued also i was seeing some of the used bikes to see the resale values. Meanwhile i saw a sparkling brand new rs200 which had done only 4.7k kms in the odo and it was only 7 months old in extremely well maintained condition and he quoted the price of 95k as he was leaving the state. I immediately called him and went to see the bike next morning at the first glance it impressed me a lot and it was smooth and refined without any scratches or spots in the body. I immediately settled the deal for 90k and it became mine. The puslar rs200 is a very good bike in terms of reliability and maintain is inexpensive though the bike is a bit on the heavier side but its alright. I had a great performance and had a great ability to cruise at 110-115 km/h with ease without stressing the engine at all. I serviced the bike at 7.5k km and almost changed everything for superior performance and smoothness the thing's i changed and done was:- Engine oil 10w 40 full synthetic Engine oil flush Changed engine oil filter Changed fuel filter Changed air filer Changed the spark plugs Changed the brake pads Changed the coolant Changed the battery (just for satisfaction)Changed the tyres (due to multiple punctures)Changed the chain set (for own satisfaction).Cleaned the injectors Cleaned the fuel pump Cleaned the throttle body (thought it was not required but still for smoothes) Changed headlights to led (low power consumption and good visibility.These were the following things i changed few things were not at all required to replace but still done because i wanted to over pamper my bike and keep it extremely fit and fine. Now talking about the fuel consumption and fuel maintenance to avoid fuel pump malfunctioning:-I use to get without servicing was 30 kmp/l (tested) which was least i got in an horrible bumper to bumper congested traffic and where i wasn't able to even shift to 3rd gear and on the normal daily traffic and city usages it delivered 33 kmpl and on the highways it delivers 38 kmp/l. With normal unleaded petrol and with power petrol it gives 35 in city and 40 kmpl in the highways. The fuel tank is of 13liters and delivers a very good range as per the performance. Any fi motorcycle needs to keep the fuel pump submerged with the fuel so it can avoid malfunctioning so it requires 3 liters of fuel for safety. When the fuel bars starts blinking it indicates you to fill your tank immediately coz its the time it starts to uses your 3 liter safety reserved fuel. Well digital fuels meters can never show accurate fuel level but you must not run the bike with 1 fuel bar. Atleast keep 3-4 bars. The best thing would be to once fill up the tank and until it reaches to 3 bars you can use it then after again fill the tank and always try to use power petrol for better performance and to keep engine smooth and healthy.Servicing and maintenance :-The normal and basic servicing is changing the engine oil at every 7000 kms if using full synthetic oil else do it in every 5500 kms. The servicing includes oil change, oil filter change, airfilter change and coolant flush and motorcycle washing. Which costs around 1500-2000 including labour charges (depending your city) without major parts changing and price may differ by the quality of engine oil and coolant you choose.Change the chain sprocket in every 17k kms if you ride with proper chain cleaning and lubrication at every 500 kms then max it can go upto 19k kms. Change the tyres in every 13,000 kms depending what tyres you use soft compound or hard compounds be it anything its always better to change it when you see it starts to loose its grip and starts becoming plain. Change the brake pads when you notice lack of bite never use it until the pads completely worns out because that might damage the disc rotors so change it maintaining the safe side.Performance:-The pulsar rs200 is the fastest bikes of all 200cc bikes in india. Acceleration of the motorcycle is very good and quick the 200cc motor has enough power to to reach top speed of 145 kmh with pillion and without pillion the speedometer shows 152 kmh which is more than enough for Indian roads. But the speedometer has some errors in it whereas it actually does 139 kmh with pillion and 145 kmh without pillion as per the gps actual top speed. As this is a high revving engine it requires to push the throttle more to climb uphill the torque is also sufficient to push the motorcycle anywhere thought it requires a bit high rev but does the job very easily. The sweet spot of the bike is 6,000 rpm where the engine feels very smooth. Pros:-Abs Looks All india available service network Seating position Performance Fuel consumption Low maintenance Led indicators Cons:-Needs removing fairing just to change the air filter Seat height Weight Conclusion :- For me buying this bike is worth because unlikely the ktm 390's it doesn't heat up to roast your legs, fuel consumption is also great parts are affordable and durable. Its looks sporty and can commute daily and also practical i would not recommend to spend twice the amount of money on big bikes with 400cc just to get extra 20kmh top speed and crazy acceleration. The pulsar rs200 is definitely a value for money and have a great performance for its segment. If you have budget and maintenance and fuel consumption is not an issue then go for 400cc.

Keep lubing your chains and check the coolant and engine oil once in a month. This bike is fuel injection and you must have at-least 3 litres of petrol in your tank. Take care when driving, obey traffic rules. Thanks.

Bajaj pulsar rs200
4 years ago
Shivendra
Before i start off with my impression of the bajaj pulsar rs200 after the brief ride i had on it at bajaj's test track in chakan, i must accept that i suffer from a little paranoia and reluctance when it comes to the pulsar name. I've had a love-hate relationship with the bajaj pulsar. I've ridden all the pulsars to come out till now, and have had some really good moments with them. I also suffered a very severe accident a decade-and-a-half ago while riding the original pulsar 180 that almost cost me my life. That's stuck with me ever since.Anyway, before i hit the track on the rs200, i was given a crisp download of the product. The bike has undergone some major, and some not-so-major revisions compared to the pulsar 200ns - the product which the rs200 is chiefly based on. However, all that chatter needs to translate into actual performance advantage - with the rs200, it does.The engine construction broadly remains the same, but the rs200 gets a new head and, more importantly, fuel injection, as against carbureted fuel supply in the 200ns. Power rating has gone up by one horsepower, and the rs200 flaunts 24bhp that peaks out at 9,750rpm. The throttle response is definitely crisper and more instant on this bike, and that's sort of needed as well - to offset the bulk of about 15-20 kilograms that's gained in form of the fully faired plastic body work and other technical components like the abs unit, etc. I've not been a great fan of the 200ns - its seating was a bit weird and i wasn't ever comfortable with the handlebar-seat-pegs geometry. The rs200 gets a shortened rake - so the handlebars are closer to the rider and the entire seating position is biased more towards comfort; it's more upright than outright sporty. For a bike that's positioned as a sports product, that kind of works - which is very strange! i guess the design was never meant to offer aggressive riding posture to begin with. The seat itself has good padding - that's a great thing.I was riding around bajaj's official test track, and around the corners the rs200 felt a bit less entertaining than what i thought it would be - especially because the suggestions from its engine were very encouraging. That leaves you with mixed feelings. Though the chassis balance is quite good, the default suspension setup is rather soft and my heart stopped for a second on one hairy moment i had while leaning into a fast right-hander. I'm sure the ride is going to be quite worthy on regular city roads going at regular city speeds, but if you'd like to enjoy some track riding or want to go knee-kissing around some snaky ghat roads, i'd say you tune the monoshock a bit in favour of handling.Engine note - again, at lower revs, it doesn't sound all that great, but at full chat the rs sounds genuinely good. And speaking of full chat, at one point, i saw 148-149km/h on the speedo - keeping a margin of error in mind, that would translate to a realistic speed of just over 140km/h. That's plenty fast, but the vibrations still tend to creep in to bodily areas that i shall refrain from mentioning. The initial gears are susceptible to vibrations so i was just short of short-shifting through the first two cogs, but from 3rd gear on, i was revving the engine to about the 9,000 mark and there was a pronounced buzzy sensation through the seat. Also, if you're riding without gloves - yes that happens a lot in real-world scenario - you might even feel a slight bit of vibration through the handlebar grips. The gearing is essentially the same as in the ns, but the sprocketing has been altered to help the rs achieve a higher top-speed.With that being said, what i really liked is how neatly and quickly the rs200 turns into corners. The steering is very responsive, and the slightly modified construction and compound of the mrfs that the rs was riding on makes a world of difference. The lean angles that the bike can manage would've been really difficult with the default suspension setting had it not been for the confidence that the tyres offer - both front and rear. The brakes now - the rs200 is offered in two trims: abs, and non-abs. I was on the saddle of the abs version the whole time, so please pardon me for being unable to tell you any functional attributes of the non-abs variant. The abs offered is a single-channel system - that means only the front wheel gets abs equipped braking.While you don't quite feel the abs working in regular riding situations, it's more prominent in emergency or panic episodes. Under hard braking, the front did keep its line and the brake bite was sufficiently effective. I'd have liked more feedback from the lever though. But it's the rear where things get a bit eerie. While going full angry on the anchors, the rear end tends slide - that's not what i expected one bit! it was really unnerving the first few times, but then it became fun and i did that a few times just for the heck of it - that's definitely not recommended.The rs200 is, as can be clearly experienced, more aggressive than the 200ns - so, expect the fuel efficiency to be lower than its non-faired sibling: mid 30s (35km/l) or thereabouts i guess.The rs200 is placed in a segment where it fights against the likes of yamaha r15, honda cbr 150r, and the ktm rc200. It does manage to look slightly bigger than all of these, but, crucially, it also looks the most controversial. There's a sense of overdone everything about the rs200. The front is dominated by a very peculiar looking body work that flows down the centre and looks like an extreme snout, and the dual-projector head-lamps remind you of the latest yamaha r1 - and i don't like those either!The tail-lamps, too, are just a bit too weird, and the rear section from the front seat on, leading up to the lights reminds me a bit of the karizma and the original xtreme by hero. Strange, i know. The rs200 looks a bit over-the-top, a bit too try-hard, a bit silly, a bit brash, and a bit fussy. It gives a sense that bajaj designers were deliberately thinking hard to make the rs200 stand out. It may have worked in a way though - the rs does catch the eye easily, but not in the most pleasing ways.The rs200 is not as entertaining as the r15 or the rc200 - those bikes are in proper full-attack mode from the word go, whereas with the rs, you need to spend more and more time on it to get familiar with its boundaries and character. Its limits are not as great as its rivals from ktm and yamaha, but at being a flaunt machine, the rs200 might just be good enough for some unusual college-goers.Thank you

5 years ago
Amayik Chakma
Pulsar is pulsar... No doubt u can buy it if u want to ride long journey. Daily ride.... Very comfortable rider position... Also comfortable pillion seat... First I thinking when I will ride can back pain.. But trust me no back pain.. It can help u for long journey.. And power is aggressive... Yes this bike is for highway... And this acceleration is more powerful.. High rev bike... 3rd gear it will be touch 90... And ktm rc 200 can't beat it... Or ha abs is more safety feature...

I was planning to buy a motorcycle which would be a second hand 2017 duke 390 which i was getting in a price which is equivalent to the new pulsar rs200, i was looking for a bike which can do a good digits of top speed and have good acceleration and the main thing was to do highway riding between 100-110 km/h with absolutely ease with stressing the engine at all.

Keep lubing your chains and check the coolant and engine oil once in a month. This bike is fuel injection and you must have at-least 3 litres of petrol in your tank. Take care when driving, obey traffic rules. Thanks.

Bajaj pulsar rs200
4 years ago
Shivendra
Before i start off with my impression of the bajaj pulsar rs200 after the brief ride i had on it at bajaj's test track in chakan, i must accept that i suffer from a little paranoia and reluctance when it comes to the pulsar name. I've had a love-hate relationship with the bajaj pulsar. I've ridden all the pulsars to come out till now, and have had some really good moments with them. I also suffered a very severe accident a decade-and-a-half ago while riding the original pulsar 180 that almost cost me my life. That's stuck with me ever since.Anyway, before i hit the track on the rs200, i was given a crisp download of the product. The bike has undergone some major, and some not-so-major revisions compared to the pulsar 200ns - the product which the rs200 is chiefly based on. However, all that chatter needs to translate into actual performance advantage - with the rs200, it does.The engine construction broadly remains the same, but the rs200 gets a new head and, more importantly, fuel injection, as against carbureted fuel supply in the 200ns. Power rating has gone up by one horsepower, and the rs200 flaunts 24bhp that peaks out at 9,750rpm. The throttle response is definitely crisper and more instant on this bike, and that's sort of needed as well - to offset the bulk of about 15-20 kilograms that's gained in form of the fully faired plastic body work and other technical components like the abs unit, etc. I've not been a great fan of the 200ns - its seating was a bit weird and i wasn't ever comfortable with the handlebar-seat-pegs geometry. The rs200 gets a shortened rake - so the handlebars are closer to the rider and the entire seating position is biased more towards comfort; it's more upright than outright sporty. For a bike that's positioned as a sports product, that kind of works - which is very strange! i guess the design was never meant to offer aggressive riding posture to begin with. The seat itself has good padding - that's a great thing.I was riding around bajaj's official test track, and around the corners the rs200 felt a bit less entertaining than what i thought it would be - especially because the suggestions from its engine were very encouraging. That leaves you with mixed feelings. Though the chassis balance is quite good, the default suspension setup is rather soft and my heart stopped for a second on one hairy moment i had while leaning into a fast right-hander. I'm sure the ride is going to be quite worthy on regular city roads going at regular city speeds, but if you'd like to enjoy some track riding or want to go knee-kissing around some snaky ghat roads, i'd say you tune the monoshock a bit in favour of handling.Engine note - again, at lower revs, it doesn't sound all that great, but at full chat the rs sounds genuinely good. And speaking of full chat, at one point, i saw 148-149km/h on the speedo - keeping a margin of error in mind, that would translate to a realistic speed of just over 140km/h. That's plenty fast, but the vibrations still tend to creep in to bodily areas that i shall refrain from mentioning. The initial gears are susceptible to vibrations so i was just short of short-shifting through the first two cogs, but from 3rd gear on, i was revving the engine to about the 9,000 mark and there was a pronounced buzzy sensation through the seat. Also, if you're riding without gloves - yes that happens a lot in real-world scenario - you might even feel a slight bit of vibration through the handlebar grips. The gearing is essentially the same as in the ns, but the sprocketing has been altered to help the rs achieve a higher top-speed.With that being said, what i really liked is how neatly and quickly the rs200 turns into corners. The steering is very responsive, and the slightly modified construction and compound of the mrfs that the rs was riding on makes a world of difference. The lean angles that the bike can manage would've been really difficult with the default suspension setting had it not been for the confidence that the tyres offer - both front and rear. The brakes now - the rs200 is offered in two trims: abs, and non-abs. I was on the saddle of the abs version the whole time, so please pardon me for being unable to tell you any functional attributes of the non-abs variant. The abs offered is a single-channel system - that means only the front wheel gets abs equipped braking.While you don't quite feel the abs working in regular riding situations, it's more prominent in emergency or panic episodes. Under hard braking, the front did keep its line and the brake bite was sufficiently effective. I'd have liked more feedback from the lever though. But it's the rear where things get a bit eerie. While going full angry on the anchors, the rear end tends slide - that's not what i expected one bit! it was really unnerving the first few times, but then it became fun and i did that a few times just for the heck of it - that's definitely not recommended.The rs200 is, as can be clearly experienced, more aggressive than the 200ns - so, expect the fuel efficiency to be lower than its non-faired sibling: mid 30s (35km/l) or thereabouts i guess.The rs200 is placed in a segment where it fights against the likes of yamaha r15, honda cbr 150r, and the ktm rc200. It does manage to look slightly bigger than all of these, but, crucially, it also looks the most controversial. There's a sense of overdone everything about the rs200. The front is dominated by a very peculiar looking body work that flows down the centre and looks like an extreme snout, and the dual-projector head-lamps remind you of the latest yamaha r1 - and i don't like those either!The tail-lamps, too, are just a bit too weird, and the rear section from the front seat on, leading up to the lights reminds me a bit of the karizma and the original xtreme by hero. Strange, i know. The rs200 looks a bit over-the-top, a bit too try-hard, a bit silly, a bit brash, and a bit fussy. It gives a sense that bajaj designers were deliberately thinking hard to make the rs200 stand out. It may have worked in a way though - the rs does catch the eye easily, but not in the most pleasing ways.The rs200 is not as entertaining as the r15 or the rc200 - those bikes are in proper full-attack mode from the word go, whereas with the rs, you need to spend more and more time on it to get familiar with its boundaries and character. Its limits are not as great as its rivals from ktm and yamaha, but at being a flaunt machine, the rs200 might just be good enough for some unusual college-goers.Thank you

Rs 200 is more powerful than ktm rc 200
5 years ago
Amayik Chakma
Pulsar is pulsar... No doubt u can buy it if u want to ride long journey. Daily ride.... Very comfortable rider position... Also comfortable pillion seat... First I thinking when I will ride can back pain.. But trust me no back pain.. It can help u for long journey.. And power is aggressive... Yes this bike is for highway... And this acceleration is more powerful.. High rev bike... 3rd gear it will be touch 90... And ktm rc 200 can't beat it... Or ha abs is more safety feature...

4 years ago
Utkarsh
I want a bike which is very powerful and look bold so i decided to buy bajaj pulsar rs 200 which is best in its segment the body of this bike look bold and best in the segment it come with twin projector headlamp which give aggressive look to this bike. Riding experience is very comfortable on comparing this bike on its segment all through it is sports bike. Good performance and look aggressive. Pros.. Heavy use of plastic. Cons.. Powerful bike in its segment because it come with bajaj dtsi engine.

Pulsar rs200 most detailed information and review
4 years ago
Jeet Sarkar
I was planning to buy a motorcycle which would be a second hand 2017 duke 390 which i was getting in a price which is equivalent to the new pulsar rs200, i was looking for a bike which can do a good digits of top speed and have good acceleration and the main thing was to do highway riding between 100-110 km/h with absolutely ease with stressing the engine at all. Also i was looking for a motorcycle which is practically for commuter with good performance to overtake and also would be pocket friendly and reliable for longtime storage as well for like 3 to 4 months. I heard that the ktm 390's are the inexpensive to maintain amongst it's category compared with ninja 300 and other 300 to 400cc motorcycles. So i took a test drive if the motorcycle both the rc390 and the duke 390. Honestly i was very much impressed with the performance of both the motorcycles. Then i came home and researched a lot about ownership maintenance and issues, that was the point where i felt heartbroken. I saw many problems with the tft display and ride by wire throttle including few other electronic and the moist problem with the tail light, engine heating in traffic, poor fuel consumption in the city and all which got me into a negative impact also the tyres and sprockets and other parts was a bit expensive for me so i dropped the plan of buying the ktm. Also i had a conversation with my friends of friends who owns 390's. So i thought about the dominnar 400 which is a value for money product but it's the same the price of 2nd hand 2019 models were a bit higher than the ktm 390's and the older model of the dominnar i didn't like it also the price wasn't less. One fine day i was in the traffic and saw an rs200 by my side so thought about researching about the pulsar rs200 so i started. One day i went to the showroom and took a test ride and its was a very good motorcycle indeed not as blisteringly quick as the ktm 390's but it has very good performance and pickup. So it impressed me though i wanted to own a bit bigger bike but that was not comfortable for me with the maintenance and other things so i immediately decided to book the rs200. Also i had seen some people complaining about the vibrations in the fairing but honestly i didn't feel any though it was a bs4 model. The sitting posture of the bike is not aggressive or committed but its a very good for daily committing also touring purpose also the pillion seat is adequately comfortable. So i went back home and had planned to buy it on monday as i took the test ride on saturday evening. So i kept my research continued also i was seeing some of the used bikes to see the resale values. Meanwhile i saw a sparkling brand new rs200 which had done only 4.7k kms in the odo and it was only 7 months old in extremely well maintained condition and he quoted the price of 95k as he was leaving the state. I immediately called him and went to see the bike next morning at the first glance it impressed me a lot and it was smooth and refined without any scratches or spots in the body. I immediately settled the deal for 90k and it became mine. The puslar rs200 is a very good bike in terms of reliability and maintain is inexpensive though the bike is a bit on the heavier side but its alright. I had a great performance and had a great ability to cruise at 110-115 km/h with ease without stressing the engine at all. I serviced the bike at 7.5k km and almost changed everything for superior performance and smoothness the thing's i changed and done was:- Engine oil 10w 40 full synthetic Engine oil flush Changed engine oil filter Changed fuel filter Changed air filer Changed the spark plugs Changed the brake pads Changed the coolant Changed the battery (just for satisfaction)Changed the tyres (due to multiple punctures)Changed the chain set (for own satisfaction).Cleaned the injectors Cleaned the fuel pump Cleaned the throttle body (thought it was not required but still for smoothes) Changed headlights to led (low power consumption and good visibility.These were the following things i changed few things were not at all required to replace but still done because i wanted to over pamper my bike and keep it extremely fit and fine. Now talking about the fuel consumption and fuel maintenance to avoid fuel pump malfunctioning:-I use to get without servicing was 30 kmp/l (tested) which was least i got in an horrible bumper to bumper congested traffic and where i wasn't able to even shift to 3rd gear and on the normal daily traffic and city usages it delivered 33 kmpl and on the highways it delivers 38 kmp/l. With normal unleaded petrol and with power petrol it gives 35 in city and 40 kmpl in the highways. The fuel tank is of 13liters and delivers a very good range as per the performance. Any fi motorcycle needs to keep the fuel pump submerged with the fuel so it can avoid malfunctioning so it requires 3 liters of fuel for safety. When the fuel bars starts blinking it indicates you to fill your tank immediately coz its the time it starts to uses your 3 liter safety reserved fuel. Well digital fuels meters can never show accurate fuel level but you must not run the bike with 1 fuel bar. Atleast keep 3-4 bars. The best thing would be to once fill up the tank and until it reaches to 3 bars you can use it then after again fill the tank and always try to use power petrol for better performance and to keep engine smooth and healthy.Servicing and maintenance :-The normal and basic servicing is changing the engine oil at every 7000 kms if using full synthetic oil else do it in every 5500 kms. The servicing includes oil change, oil filter change, airfilter change and coolant flush and motorcycle washing. Which costs around 1500-2000 including labour charges (depending your city) without major parts changing and price may differ by the quality of engine oil and coolant you choose.Change the chain sprocket in every 17k kms if you ride with proper chain cleaning and lubrication at every 500 kms then max it can go upto 19k kms. Change the tyres in every 13,000 kms depending what tyres you use soft compound or hard compounds be it anything its always better to change it when you see it starts to loose its grip and starts becoming plain. Change the brake pads when you notice lack of bite never use it until the pads completely worns out because that might damage the disc rotors so change it maintaining the safe side.Performance:-The pulsar rs200 is the fastest bikes of all 200cc bikes in india. Acceleration of the motorcycle is very good and quick the 200cc motor has enough power to to reach top speed of 145 kmh with pillion and without pillion the speedometer shows 152 kmh which is more than enough for Indian roads. But the speedometer has some errors in it whereas it actually does 139 kmh with pillion and 145 kmh without pillion as per the gps actual top speed. As this is a high revving engine it requires to push the throttle more to climb uphill the torque is also sufficient to push the motorcycle anywhere thought it requires a bit high rev but does the job very easily. The sweet spot of the bike is 6,000 rpm where the engine feels very smooth. Pros:-Abs Looks All india available service network Seating position Performance Fuel consumption Low maintenance Led indicators Cons:-Needs removing fairing just to change the air filter Seat height Weight Conclusion :- For me buying this bike is worth because unlikely the ktm 390's it doesn't heat up to roast your legs, fuel consumption is also great parts are affordable and durable. Its looks sporty and can commute daily and also practical i would not recommend to spend twice the amount of money on big bikes with 400cc just to get extra 20kmh top speed and crazy acceleration. The pulsar rs200 is definitely a value for money and have a great performance for its segment. If you have budget and maintenance and fuel consumption is not an issue then go for 400cc.

Keep atleast 3 bars of fuel, service it timely, for better life of chain sprocket clean and lube it at every 500 kms and clean the throttle body and injection at every 30,000 kms to prevent lack of power, engine stalling also to have good fuel consumption and power.

Before i start off with my impression of the bajaj pulsar rs200 after the brief ride i had on it at bajaj's test track in chakan, i must accept that i suffer from a little paranoia and reluctance when it comes to the pulsar name. I've had a love-hate relationship with the bajaj pulsar. I've ridden all the pulsars to come out till now, and have had some really good moments with them. I also suffered a very severe accident a decade-and-a-half ago while riding the original pulsar 180 that almost cost me my life. That's stuck with me ever since.Anyway, before i hit the track on the rs200, i was given a crisp download of the product.

5 years ago
Amayik Chakma
Pulsar is pulsar... No doubt u can buy it if u want to ride long journey. Daily ride.... Very comfortable rider position... Also comfortable pillion seat... First I thinking when I will ride can back pain.. But trust me no back pain.. It can help u for long journey.. And power is aggressive... Yes this bike is for highway... And this acceleration is more powerful.. High rev bike... 3rd gear it will be touch 90... And ktm rc 200 can't beat it... Or ha abs is more safety feature...

I want a bike which is very powerful and look bold so i decided to buy bajaj pulsar rs 200 which is best in its segment the body of this bike look bold and best in the segment it come with twin projector headlamp which give aggressive look to this bike. Riding experience is very comfortable on comparing this bike on its segment all through it is sports bike. Good performance and look aggressive. Pros.. Heavy use of plastic. Cons.. Powerful bike in its segment because it come with bajaj dtsi engine.

Pulsar rs200 most detailed information and review
4 years ago
Jeet Sarkar
I was planning to buy a motorcycle which would be a second hand 2017 duke 390 which i was getting in a price which is equivalent to the new pulsar rs200, i was looking for a bike which can do a good digits of top speed and have good acceleration and the main thing was to do highway riding between 100-110 km/h with absolutely ease with stressing the engine at all. Also i was looking for a motorcycle which is practically for commuter with good performance to overtake and also would be pocket friendly and reliable for longtime storage as well for like 3 to 4 months. I heard that the ktm 390's are the inexpensive to maintain amongst it's category compared with ninja 300 and other 300 to 400cc motorcycles. So i took a test drive if the motorcycle both the rc390 and the duke 390. Honestly i was very much impressed with the performance of both the motorcycles. Then i came home and researched a lot about ownership maintenance and issues, that was the point where i felt heartbroken. I saw many problems with the tft display and ride by wire throttle including few other electronic and the moist problem with the tail light, engine heating in traffic, poor fuel consumption in the city and all which got me into a negative impact also the tyres and sprockets and other parts was a bit expensive for me so i dropped the plan of buying the ktm. Also i had a conversation with my friends of friends who owns 390's. So i thought about the dominnar 400 which is a value for money product but it's the same the price of 2nd hand 2019 models were a bit higher than the ktm 390's and the older model of the dominnar i didn't like it also the price wasn't less. One fine day i was in the traffic and saw an rs200 by my side so thought about researching about the pulsar rs200 so i started. One day i went to the showroom and took a test ride and its was a very good motorcycle indeed not as blisteringly quick as the ktm 390's but it has very good performance and pickup. So it impressed me though i wanted to own a bit bigger bike but that was not comfortable for me with the maintenance and other things so i immediately decided to book the rs200. Also i had seen some people complaining about the vibrations in the fairing but honestly i didn't feel any though it was a bs4 model. The sitting posture of the bike is not aggressive or committed but its a very good for daily committing also touring purpose also the pillion seat is adequately comfortable. So i went back home and had planned to buy it on monday as i took the test ride on saturday evening. So i kept my research continued also i was seeing some of the used bikes to see the resale values. Meanwhile i saw a sparkling brand new rs200 which had done only 4.7k kms in the odo and it was only 7 months old in extremely well maintained condition and he quoted the price of 95k as he was leaving the state. I immediately called him and went to see the bike next morning at the first glance it impressed me a lot and it was smooth and refined without any scratches or spots in the body. I immediately settled the deal for 90k and it became mine. The puslar rs200 is a very good bike in terms of reliability and maintain is inexpensive though the bike is a bit on the heavier side but its alright. I had a great performance and had a great ability to cruise at 110-115 km/h with ease without stressing the engine at all. I serviced the bike at 7.5k km and almost changed everything for superior performance and smoothness the thing's i changed and done was:- Engine oil 10w 40 full synthetic Engine oil flush Changed engine oil filter Changed fuel filter Changed air filer Changed the spark plugs Changed the brake pads Changed the coolant Changed the battery (just for satisfaction)Changed the tyres (due to multiple punctures)Changed the chain set (for own satisfaction).Cleaned the injectors Cleaned the fuel pump Cleaned the throttle body (thought it was not required but still for smoothes) Changed headlights to led (low power consumption and good visibility.These were the following things i changed few things were not at all required to replace but still done because i wanted to over pamper my bike and keep it extremely fit and fine. Now talking about the fuel consumption and fuel maintenance to avoid fuel pump malfunctioning:-I use to get without servicing was 30 kmp/l (tested) which was least i got in an horrible bumper to bumper congested traffic and where i wasn't able to even shift to 3rd gear and on the normal daily traffic and city usages it delivered 33 kmpl and on the highways it delivers 38 kmp/l. With normal unleaded petrol and with power petrol it gives 35 in city and 40 kmpl in the highways. The fuel tank is of 13liters and delivers a very good range as per the performance. Any fi motorcycle needs to keep the fuel pump submerged with the fuel so it can avoid malfunctioning so it requires 3 liters of fuel for safety. When the fuel bars starts blinking it indicates you to fill your tank immediately coz its the time it starts to uses your 3 liter safety reserved fuel. Well digital fuels meters can never show accurate fuel level but you must not run the bike with 1 fuel bar. Atleast keep 3-4 bars. The best thing would be to once fill up the tank and until it reaches to 3 bars you can use it then after again fill the tank and always try to use power petrol for better performance and to keep engine smooth and healthy.Servicing and maintenance :-The normal and basic servicing is changing the engine oil at every 7000 kms if using full synthetic oil else do it in every 5500 kms. The servicing includes oil change, oil filter change, airfilter change and coolant flush and motorcycle washing. Which costs around 1500-2000 including labour charges (depending your city) without major parts changing and price may differ by the quality of engine oil and coolant you choose.Change the chain sprocket in every 17k kms if you ride with proper chain cleaning and lubrication at every 500 kms then max it can go upto 19k kms. Change the tyres in every 13,000 kms depending what tyres you use soft compound or hard compounds be it anything its always better to change it when you see it starts to loose its grip and starts becoming plain. Change the brake pads when you notice lack of bite never use it until the pads completely worns out because that might damage the disc rotors so change it maintaining the safe side.Performance:-The pulsar rs200 is the fastest bikes of all 200cc bikes in india. Acceleration of the motorcycle is very good and quick the 200cc motor has enough power to to reach top speed of 145 kmh with pillion and without pillion the speedometer shows 152 kmh which is more than enough for Indian roads. But the speedometer has some errors in it whereas it actually does 139 kmh with pillion and 145 kmh without pillion as per the gps actual top speed. As this is a high revving engine it requires to push the throttle more to climb uphill the torque is also sufficient to push the motorcycle anywhere thought it requires a bit high rev but does the job very easily. The sweet spot of the bike is 6,000 rpm where the engine feels very smooth. Pros:-Abs Looks All india available service network Seating position Performance Fuel consumption Low maintenance Led indicators Cons:-Needs removing fairing just to change the air filter Seat height Weight Conclusion :- For me buying this bike is worth because unlikely the ktm 390's it doesn't heat up to roast your legs, fuel consumption is also great parts are affordable and durable. Its looks sporty and can commute daily and also practical i would not recommend to spend twice the amount of money on big bikes with 400cc just to get extra 20kmh top speed and crazy acceleration. The pulsar rs200 is definitely a value for money and have a great performance for its segment. If you have budget and maintenance and fuel consumption is not an issue then go for 400cc.

Keep atleast 3 bars of fuel, service it timely, for better life of chain sprocket clean and lube it at every 500 kms and clean the throttle body and injection at every 30,000 kms to prevent lack of power, engine stalling also to have good fuel consumption and power.

Keep lubing your chains and check the coolant and engine oil once in a month. This bike is fuel injection and you must have at-least 3 litres of petrol in your tank. Take care when driving, obey traffic rules. Thanks.

Bajaj pulsar rs200
4 years ago
Shivendra
Before i start off with my impression of the bajaj pulsar rs200 after the brief ride i had on it at bajaj's test track in chakan, i must accept that i suffer from a little paranoia and reluctance when it comes to the pulsar name. I've had a love-hate relationship with the bajaj pulsar. I've ridden all the pulsars to come out till now, and have had some really good moments with them. I also suffered a very severe accident a decade-and-a-half ago while riding the original pulsar 180 that almost cost me my life. That's stuck with me ever since.Anyway, before i hit the track on the rs200, i was given a crisp download of the product. The bike has undergone some major, and some not-so-major revisions compared to the pulsar 200ns - the product which the rs200 is chiefly based on. However, all that chatter needs to translate into actual performance advantage - with the rs200, it does.The engine construction broadly remains the same, but the rs200 gets a new head and, more importantly, fuel injection, as against carbureted fuel supply in the 200ns. Power rating has gone up by one horsepower, and the rs200 flaunts 24bhp that peaks out at 9,750rpm. The throttle response is definitely crisper and more instant on this bike, and that's sort of needed as well - to offset the bulk of about 15-20 kilograms that's gained in form of the fully faired plastic body work and other technical components like the abs unit, etc. I've not been a great fan of the 200ns - its seating was a bit weird and i wasn't ever comfortable with the handlebar-seat-pegs geometry. The rs200 gets a shortened rake - so the handlebars are closer to the rider and the entire seating position is biased more towards comfort; it's more upright than outright sporty. For a bike that's positioned as a sports product, that kind of works - which is very strange! i guess the design was never meant to offer aggressive riding posture to begin with. The seat itself has good padding - that's a great thing.I was riding around bajaj's official test track, and around the corners the rs200 felt a bit less entertaining than what i thought it would be - especially because the suggestions from its engine were very encouraging. That leaves you with mixed feelings. Though the chassis balance is quite good, the default suspension setup is rather soft and my heart stopped for a second on one hairy moment i had while leaning into a fast right-hander. I'm sure the ride is going to be quite worthy on regular city roads going at regular city speeds, but if you'd like to enjoy some track riding or want to go knee-kissing around some snaky ghat roads, i'd say you tune the monoshock a bit in favour of handling.Engine note - again, at lower revs, it doesn't sound all that great, but at full chat the rs sounds genuinely good. And speaking of full chat, at one point, i saw 148-149km/h on the speedo - keeping a margin of error in mind, that would translate to a realistic speed of just over 140km/h. That's plenty fast, but the vibrations still tend to creep in to bodily areas that i shall refrain from mentioning. The initial gears are susceptible to vibrations so i was just short of short-shifting through the first two cogs, but from 3rd gear on, i was revving the engine to about the 9,000 mark and there was a pronounced buzzy sensation through the seat. Also, if you're riding without gloves - yes that happens a lot in real-world scenario - you might even feel a slight bit of vibration through the handlebar grips. The gearing is essentially the same as in the ns, but the sprocketing has been altered to help the rs achieve a higher top-speed.With that being said, what i really liked is how neatly and quickly the rs200 turns into corners. The steering is very responsive, and the slightly modified construction and compound of the mrfs that the rs was riding on makes a world of difference. The lean angles that the bike can manage would've been really difficult with the default suspension setting had it not been for the confidence that the tyres offer - both front and rear. The brakes now - the rs200 is offered in two trims: abs, and non-abs. I was on the saddle of the abs version the whole time, so please pardon me for being unable to tell you any functional attributes of the non-abs variant. The abs offered is a single-channel system - that means only the front wheel gets abs equipped braking.While you don't quite feel the abs working in regular riding situations, it's more prominent in emergency or panic episodes. Under hard braking, the front did keep its line and the brake bite was sufficiently effective. I'd have liked more feedback from the lever though. But it's the rear where things get a bit eerie. While going full angry on the anchors, the rear end tends slide - that's not what i expected one bit! it was really unnerving the first few times, but then it became fun and i did that a few times just for the heck of it - that's definitely not recommended.The rs200 is, as can be clearly experienced, more aggressive than the 200ns - so, expect the fuel efficiency to be lower than its non-faired sibling: mid 30s (35km/l) or thereabouts i guess.The rs200 is placed in a segment where it fights against the likes of yamaha r15, honda cbr 150r, and the ktm rc200. It does manage to look slightly bigger than all of these, but, crucially, it also looks the most controversial. There's a sense of overdone everything about the rs200. The front is dominated by a very peculiar looking body work that flows down the centre and looks like an extreme snout, and the dual-projector head-lamps remind you of the latest yamaha r1 - and i don't like those either!The tail-lamps, too, are just a bit too weird, and the rear section from the front seat on, leading up to the lights reminds me a bit of the karizma and the original xtreme by hero. Strange, i know. The rs200 looks a bit over-the-top, a bit too try-hard, a bit silly, a bit brash, and a bit fussy. It gives a sense that bajaj designers were deliberately thinking hard to make the rs200 stand out. It may have worked in a way though - the rs does catch the eye easily, but not in the most pleasing ways.The rs200 is not as entertaining as the r15 or the rc200 - those bikes are in proper full-attack mode from the word go, whereas with the rs, you need to spend more and more time on it to get familiar with its boundaries and character. Its limits are not as great as its rivals from ktm and yamaha, but at being a flaunt machine, the rs200 might just be good enough for some unusual college-goers.Thank you
