Reviews of Bajaj Pulsar RS 200

First of all I am writing this review as Pulsar Rs200 was my dream bike and now I own it for almost a month with around 1100 kms done.
To start with it this bike is a absolute beautiful piece of machinery be it the looks the power the pickup the comfort, stability braking, it is just awesome bike. The raw power that you feel with smooth beautiful riding experience is just heavens, especially on Highways with the top gear in its place the bike feels magical. With this bike you have the power that you want, the comfort you need the stability and the braking are all very good and best in class.
My buying experience was very easy I bought it from Raj bajaj turbhe, the staff is helpful and the whole process was very smooth where I got my number in 1 week and my rc in 2.
If you want a bike in 200cc segment full faired and till 1.5 lakh range believe me this is what you want where if you want abs its is 1.66 lakh and let me tell you please if you can go with abs please buy it with abs because it works and has saved me couple of times. Now as always these were the pros and now the cons which I have only three
1. This is the biggest con of the bike where if you ride the bike with a pillion the bike's belly will touch the speed breakers.. this is 100 percent true and a sure thing which will happen.
2. This happens sometimes, where when you are down shifting from 2 to 1 gear, it sometimes gets stuck between the two gears.
3. Now this is related to area vise and is about the servicing of the bike, If you stay in Navi Mumbai Raj Bajaj are the only authorised dealer and service centre for Bajaj bike's, as they say although my buying experience with them was very easy with such a good bike but the servicing was pathetic, it was very bad and not at all worth what you pay. I think they take it for granted and just do a show when it comes to servicing.
These are the cons of the bike but compared to the whole package it is nothing to cry about. Very good bike with great riding experience, just pure raw love.

About the Reviewer

I took my pulsar rs 200 abs - yellow bs3 out of the showroom on 17th aug'15. It was my first bike in my life on which i learnt how to ride a bike (avoiding the indian tendency to learn driving on splendor, etc)
So, from this everyone will conclude that if a person is with his first and only one bike then he will not be able to figure out the cons due to lack of experience with other bikes
It's not like that my friend, i will be honest to tell everything i experience and depending on your choice you can categories these points into pros & cons.
So let's get started!
Jumping from honda active to pulsar rs 200 will be overwhelming and really enjoyable, because of its power which can be felt as soon as the throttle is pulled. At first, i felt like the bike is dragging and i would fly like a dry cloth :-d
But eventually i learnt to handle it quickly.
As per the name and bike's attitude to be sporty it was meant for high speeds but since i was a higher secondary student at the time of purchase i was unable to ride it much. Just after 2 years, i started my college where i started earning part time to fuel my bike to the fullest.
Slowly, i started to take the bike for mid-range weekend rides for about 100 kms and pulsar rs 200 being the only vehicle in my home became the grocery to nail shop taker. It means that i bought 10kgs of wheat keeping it on my tank and it was really easy to carry the grocery due to the tanks wife design and flat base.
From this you can know the situation in which bike is used. Crawling in jams for grocery with pulsar rs causes a lot of pain in the wrist and engine starts to take big sips of fuel and along side the overheating issue.
I barely got chance to full throttle the bike at 6th gear by living in between the busiest streets. So, one day i felt to take my bike on highway (agra-expressway) closest to my reach. I went full throttle on this highway till the toll both which appears after 30kms of stretch. My words can't explain the adrenaline experience of it's 153km/h pull with amazing torque and sound.
This was my first experience which gave me the understanding that what pulsar rs 200 can do with it's full potential. I started visiting the expressway on every Sunday with my friends, where we used to do many races. Not to brag about i used to beat every 200 cc easily and this bike made me proud. At some point i competed against cbr 250 r, it was the only bike which has defeated the my pulsar rs 200 and it was a fair lose. Though, still rs 200 can cope up with cbr 250 r till 150 km/h.
And taking the bike on rides where you have good road is a bliss with mileage, power, exhaust sound, and posture. Exclude, the butt pain caused by the hard plank like seats. The tyres cannot hold on to the icy roads easily otherwise off-roading is fine.
Now today (27th jan'22), overall my bikes engine doing great with more than 35,000kms and with a mileage of 33.46 km/l in worst case scenario.
But! the most irritating and worst part of this bike is the front right side vibration and the low quality wind shield (visor) which breaks after a few months of usage (now, changed to db visor). The visor issue is fixed but after 6 years ownership i couldn't fix the vibration of front right side (tried all measure).
Though the vibrations comes up rarely but when it starts i feel to go to a walk with my bike for the rest of the road. It's really bad for the wrist also.
Engine is commendable with the performance and mileage after 6 years also.
Maintenance is very cheap though i use Germany exported engine oil b-)
Sharing my own experience on pros & cons
Pros-:
Mileage
Power,
Adrenaline feel
Exhaust sound
Low range
Top end
Tourer
Dragster
Cheaper
Carrier
Reliability
Looks
Halogen projectors
Drls
Cons-:
Front right vibration (not curable)
I shared my life experience of owning the pulsar rs 200 from tip to toe. Hope you would like it and connect to it what i meant to say.
Happy riding

About the Reviewer

It was very nice experience as it was my 1st sports bike so i was excited.I have completed 15000kms of successful journey.Sometimes it felt that to buy a ktm duke 200 due to its low weight but when it comes to the riding it beats ktm duke.As bajaj have provided sporty projector lights at the front it looks great and u can ride it freely in night rides.The drl's also add great effect it looks great.Coming to the performance it lags in pickup due to its heavy weight but it runs smoothly when u cruises above 60.Feels vibrations after 5000rpm and fairing gives lots sounding and vibrations too.Abs works great and it helps me lot in case of harsh riding in cities.Sometimes you felt that downshifts are bit hardened.As company have provided manual so it is mandatory to service the bike but if u'r running is slow then every 5 months it is getting serviced. Quality wise the rear mono shock absorbers are not that much builded. They are to be replaced as oil leak problem is common.The chain also gets loosen fastly so many times u got a visit to the servicing centre.Pros: ~sporty design~fuel efficiency in 200cc segment~premium high seating riding quality Cons:~poor pickup~fairing vibrations~downshifts are hard.

About the Reviewer

First thing ,i noticed that it has highly fabulous,stylish,perfect for youngsters. So i tried to check the exact review, ratings and performance both in internet and by going to ex-showroom.It is noticeable that it has multi-tone colours, standard, metallic colours like racing blue,black.The top speed is about exactly 152 kmph. The highlight is that it has hidden features.1-if it reaches max speed for 10 seconds it automatically offs the engine.2-if the stand is unfolded the bike never starts.3-it has charging plug near the right handle bar.But usage of this would requires a software.4-suppose if the bike falls down while riding,the bike automatically offs the engine.There are other two more features,that are not described by the showroom or bike module book.Well this bike is provided with abs technology which proves the safety while racing.Almost from my experience the overall review of the bike was gorgeous.In service and maintenance it was very good and trusty.Riding experience as a youngster is amazing with your girlfriend.Try to check the other basic features in bikewale website which is original.Try to buy a bike with abs technology.

About the Reviewer

Buying experience:

First of all i have inquired about the bike at jai bajaj-chennai., obviously extremely worst experience., then i went to my home town(salem) and have done the same, but response was quite fine, and service response was much more better than chennai. They have add some addition charges and all the bajaj showroom doing the same and saying this is for handling and bla bla charges. Over all bajaj showroom and service center response is not good.

Riding experience:

The bike comes with perimeter frame (semi) and box type swing arm which give more stability , cornering and quick braking confidence . Since already i have better experience with delta box (r15)and diamond frame (cbr250) this stands in-between., obviously much better riding experience than cbr250r especially high speed and quick changing directions.. Carrying speed at high way is the most which i love in this bike.

Details about looks, performance etc:

Front look is amazing, looks like eagle eyes. Incomparable night vision. Rear side exactly opposite especially tail light which i hate the most because which makes the bike looks like small 100cc bike when you sight from back.

This bike comes with triple spark plug with high thermal efficiency at high rpm which gives adequate power at top end . Front braking is more effective and responsive thanks to bybre , 300mm disk and abs.

Rear brake is fine but not the best like r15.

Fuel efficiency is good. For long trip it returns 26-30kmpl (usually i have maintain 120- 140 kmphr at high ways) capable to cover 350km without worries which is not possible with cbr250r at high speed.

Transmission is soft and not quick as compared to rc or r15 but not bad.

Servicing and maintenance:

Service interval is around 5000km. Which is value for money.

Engine oil, oil filter , air filter , coolant cost just around 1500rs.

Pros and cons:

Pros:

Head light,

Seat height,

Top end performance,

Low maintenance,

Touring,

Value for money.

Cons:

Build quality,

Missing sporty riding and aerodynamics,

Rear seat and tail design,

Complex build(not easy for quick service like yamaha but better than cbr).

Long term reliability : (please wait for 12 more months or 70k + odo)

My experience:

Ownership : 12 months

Odo : 35000+

Max speed: 156kmph

Best long trips:

Nine states nasty ride (dec-jan 2017)

Chennai- salem-bangalore-hyd-nagpur-jhansi-agra-jaipur-udaipur-guj-mumbai-pune-hubli-bangalore-salem (5800km in 8 days)

Sun temple ride:

Chennai-vizak-araku vally- orisha- konark sun temple - puri- chennai (3000+km 4 days)

About the Reviewer

It was very nice experience as it was my 1st sports bike so i was excited.I have completed 15000kms of successful journey.Sometimes it felt that to buy a ktm duke 200 due to its low weight but when it comes to the riding it beats ktm duke.As bajaj have provided sporty projector lights at the front it looks great and u can ride it freely in night rides.The drl's also add great effect it looks great.Coming to the performance it lags in pickup due to its heavy weight but it runs smoothly when u cruises above 60.Feels vibrations after 5000rpm and fairing gives lots sounding and vibrations too.Abs works great and it helps me lot in case of harsh riding in cities.Sometimes you felt that downshifts are bit hardened.As company have provided manual so it is mandatory to service the bike but if u'r running is slow then every 5 months it is getting serviced. Quality wise the rear mono shock absorbers are not that much builded. They are to be replaced as oil leak problem is common.The chain also gets loosen fastly so many times u got a visit to the servicing centre.Pros: ~sporty design~fuel efficiency in 200cc segment~premium high seating riding quality Cons:~poor pickup~fairing vibrations~downshifts are hard.

First thing ,i noticed that it has highly fabulous,stylish,perfect for youngsters. So i tried to check the exact review, ratings and performance both in internet and by going to ex-showroom.It is noticeable that it has multi-tone colours, standard, metallic colours like racing blue,black.The top speed is about exactly 152 kmph. The highlight is that it has hidden features.1-if it reaches max speed for 10 seconds it automatically offs the engine.2-if the stand is unfolded the bike never starts.3-it has charging plug near the right handle bar.But usage of this would requires a software.4-suppose if the bike falls down while riding,the bike automatically offs the engine.There are other two more features,that are not described by the showroom or bike module book.Well this bike is provided with abs technology which proves the safety while racing.Almost from my experience the overall review of the bike was gorgeous.In service and maintenance it was very good and trusty.Riding experience as a youngster is amazing with your girlfriend.Try to check the other basic features in bikewale website which is original.Try to buy a bike with abs technology.

Purchased on 17 Jul 2015 awesome experience with bike for 2 yrs as of now great riding quality and great design that is hard to catch. Handle bars are perfectly designed to curve through corners with awesome grip of tyres.

So far i would recommend pulsar rs 200 to all enthusiast bikers. Love it ,...

About the Reviewer

Buying experience:

First of all i have inquired about the bike at jai bajaj-chennai., obviously extremely worst experience., then i went to my home town(salem) and have done the same, but response was quite fine, and service response was much more better than chennai. They have add some addition charges and all the bajaj showroom doing the same and saying this is for handling and bla bla charges. Over all bajaj showroom and service center response is not good.

Riding experience:

The bike comes with perimeter frame (semi) and box type swing arm which give more stability , cornering and quick braking confidence . Since already i have better experience with delta box (r15)and diamond frame (cbr250) this stands in-between., obviously much better riding experience than cbr250r especially high speed and quick changing directions.. Carrying speed at high way is the most which i love in this bike.

Details about looks, performance etc:

Front look is amazing, looks like eagle eyes. Incomparable night vision. Rear side exactly opposite especially tail light which i hate the most because which makes the bike looks like small 100cc bike when you sight from back.

This bike comes with triple spark plug with high thermal efficiency at high rpm which gives adequate power at top end . Front braking is more effective and responsive thanks to bybre , 300mm disk and abs.

Rear brake is fine but not the best like r15.

Fuel efficiency is good. For long trip it returns 26-30kmpl (usually i have maintain 120- 140 kmphr at high ways) capable to cover 350km without worries which is not possible with cbr250r at high speed.

Transmission is soft and not quick as compared to rc or r15 but not bad.

Servicing and maintenance:

Service interval is around 5000km. Which is value for money.

Engine oil, oil filter , air filter , coolant cost just around 1500rs.

Pros and cons:

Pros:

Head light,

Seat height,

Top end performance,

Low maintenance,

Touring,

Value for money.

Cons:

Build quality,

Missing sporty riding and aerodynamics,

Rear seat and tail design,

Complex build(not easy for quick service like yamaha but better than cbr).

Long term reliability : (please wait for 12 more months or 70k + odo)

My experience:

Ownership : 12 months

Odo : 35000+

Max speed: 156kmph

Best long trips:

Nine states nasty ride (dec-jan 2017)

Chennai- salem-bangalore-hyd-nagpur-jhansi-agra-jaipur-udaipur-guj-mumbai-pune-hubli-bangalore-salem (5800km in 8 days)

Sun temple ride:

Chennai-vizak-araku vally- orisha- konark sun temple - puri- chennai (3000+km 4 days)
