Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 vs KTM 390 Duke

I was excited when I got an email from Bajaj Motorcycles to test their new motorcycle, the Pulsar RS200, at their Chakan test track. And there were two reasons - the Pulsar RS200 and the Chakan track. Over the last couple of months, we have written quite a few articles on the Pulsar RS200 ranging from it being spied around Pune to its name changing from SS200 to RS200. Honestly, I don’t think we have written so many spy pictures story for any another bike like we have done for the Pulsar RS200. It was the most anticipated motorcycle from Bajaj because it was going to open the doors of the budget fully-faired entry-level performance motorcycles. With India’s ever growing young population, the Pulsar RS200 seems to have attracted lot of interest. We take the Pulsar RS200 for a spin at Bajaj’s test track to find out how far it will take the legacy of the Pulsar brand.

When it comes to motorcycle tyres, CEAT is a fairly well-known brand and has been around for a while. They recently launched a new line of tyres called the Sportrad. These are specifically developed for motorcycles in the leagues of the KTM 390 Duke

The 2024 KTM 390 Duke, in its completely new avatar, aims to take the performance game a few notches higher than older model. So, what does the new 390 Duke bring to the table? And should you be interested?

We rode the 2024 KTM 390 Duke at Bajaj’s Chakan test track and out on the road as well, and here's what we found out.
