About Bajaj Pulsar NS200

When it was first launched in the year 2001, it was already evident how successful the later models were going to be. Even though there have been several improvements and changes made to the look, feel and ride quality of this bike, its raw nature and power are what drives its market value through the roof. If you are an avid bike fan, you must know about this bike. However, if you are not and are looking to invest in one that suffices all standard requirements of a two-wheeler, it cannot get better than this. Further mentioned in this article is all the information you need about the Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS and if it is worth the purchase. 

While the Bajaj Pulsar line-up started with two models in 2001, namely the 150 cc variant and 180 cc variant, this chain of motorbikes have come a long way since then. Although there were not many bigger capacity engine bikes at the time, there was surely some interest and a market for such bikes. Ever since its introduction in the market, there has been quite a positive response. In addition to that, the Indian youth started expecting high-performance bikes along with other standard features at more reasonable prices. In a way, the Bajaj Pulsar line-up revolutionised the Indian bike industry for the better. 

That said, the real game-changer was when Bajaj revealed their newest development for the year 2008, the Pulsar 200 SF. SF, short for the street fighter, was welcomed with open arms in the market mainly because of the sheer power it produced. Along with that, it also enhanced some of the more innovative features like a new digital console, self-cancelling indicators, oil cooler and other similar features like fuel injection technology. However, given such new yet practical and fascinating features, the 200 cc Pulsars were fairly high-priced, and this significantly affected Bajaj Pulsar's target audience and overall sales in the market. This is why 2008 200 SF was later discontinued and replaced with a newer and faster 220 cc Pulsar, which came with a carburettor instead of fuel injection. This resulted in a considerable cost reduction, and Pulsar was back to being a household name once again. 

The bike looked good, had the necessary and latest features and was quite powerful when in comparison with the other two-wheelers of the time. It used a revised liquid-cooled 200 cc engine which was based on the KTM 200 Duke and was undoubtedly the right choice. This bike has quite a powerful engine, which is also quite efficient when compared to the other bikes in this segment. With a couple of intricate changes to the engine from the Bajaj, the 200 cc engine can produce a peak torque of 18.3 Nm @ 8,000 RPM with a maximum power of 23.17 bhp@ 9,500 RPM. These numbers are as impressive on paper as they are on the road. Before the Bajaj pulsar 200 NS, not a lot of mid-range commercial bikes could achieve these numbers and was surely this two-wheeler’s claim to fame. 

When it came to designing, Bajaj revamped the whole look of the Pulsar line-up. This bike especially was designed by their lead designer, who goes by the name of Edgar Heinrich, but later left Bajaj to join BMW Motorrad. All in all, this bike showed promising results in the motorbike industry and quickly became a staple for the company. There have been a lot of renditions of the Pulsar 200 NS in the coming years, with its latest model being launched in the year 2017 with a single channel ABS variant and new colour scheme. Keep reading this review further to know more about the latest model of the Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS.

Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Expert Review

Bajaj Pulsar NS200

The Bajaj Pulsar brand has been an iconic offering in the Indian market over several years now. The flagship NS 200 model launched in 2012 before being

phased out in 2015. Thereafter, it arrived again in 2017 and has also received as BS-VI upgrade. 

How is the design? 

The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 looks sporty and attractive. There are color options like Pewter Grey, Burnt Red, Metallic Pearl White, and Satin Blue. The new colors add a refreshing and younger vibe to the motorcycle. The wheels and frame are well-finished, and this design is bound to attract the younger generation despite it is ageing and looks bulky at some places as well. 

How is the performance? 

The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 comes with a BS-VI 199.5 cc liquid cooled engine. This makes 24.5 PS and 18 Nm of torque. Both these figures have gone up with the BS-VI upgrade. The Bajaj NS200 does offer more responses and feels faster although you have to really push the engine this time around. The bottom-end punch could have been scaled up although the power delivery and throttle do offer decent outcomes for riders. Performance-wise, it is a good pick in its segment. 

How does the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 ride? 

The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 offers a hassle-free riding experience with a fast-revving engine and more refinement. Vibrations are now limited although there is a little noise when you go up the rev band. The exhaust note is classic and offers that streetfighter feeling right away. The riding dynamics are decent with a firm suspension system that enables superior handling as well. The ABS works well, and the brakes come with good performance as well. 

How comfortable is the Bajaj Pulsar NS200? 

The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 offers higher comfort for riders along with good balance and grip. It has control and stability at higher speeds, while its shock absorbers work neatly even on tougher roads. The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 offers good comfort for long distances and has been engineered well. 

How’s the tech? 

The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 does lack several features, and this could deter some buyers in the segment. It does not come with a fully digital console or an LED headlight. While there is ABS, it only comes with a semi-digital instrument cluster which feels and looks outdated. 

How’s the mileage of the Bajaj Pulsar NS200? 

The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 offers mileage of 35 kmpl on average. 

Is the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 good value for money? 

The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 offers good value for money if you consider the sporty design, sporty engine, and overall performance. Handling and comfort are also good although more features were clearly desirable for the bike. 

How is the after sales service? 

The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 comes with the first service after 500 kilometres, while the second one is after 4,500 kilometres. The third service comes after 9,500 kilometres. 

Which motorbikes compete in the segment? 

The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 takes on the likes of the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V and the Honda Hornet 2.0 in its segment. The Honda Hornet has an equally appealing design which is also muscular in its entirety. It has a good LCD display unit as well. The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 is the largest bike and will suit taller riders better, although the lack of features may hurt. The TVS Apache RTR 200 4V looks smart although the riding position may feel restrictive for some. The Bajaj NS200 has a more contemporary engine and powertrain along with the six-speed gearbox which is missing for its rivals. It also has the quickest acceleration while the RTR comes with three power modes for riders as well. The Honda Hornet offers the highest fuel economy while the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 offers the lowest figures. The RTR also offers a more comfortable and plusher ride than its rivals, although does not have as much space to offer. The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 is still a value pick in the category for its performance. 

Verdict (Value for Money)

The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 offers good performance and a vibe that makes it sporty and appealing. The design is striking, and it also accelerates swiftly. It also offers good ergonomics and comfort although it lacks dual-channel ABS, features and a more contemporary touch that could drive buyers to some of its closer rivals. However, the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 still makes for a fun purchase and should keep the sales charts chugging along smoothly in the future.

Final Verdict on Pulsar NS200

Pulsar NS200 is very attractively priced and competes with the likes of the TVS Apache RTR 2004V and the Yamaha FZ25. Is it the best handling and best-equipped Pulsar? No, those descriptions we would reserve for the Pulsar RS 200. But then, the RS200 is also quite a bit more expensive than the NS200. NS 200 may not be a brand new model, but the updates certainly lend the Pulsar NS200 fresh appeal and the promise of an entertaining package on two wheels for the entry-level performance junkie.

People also ask For

  • Is Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS a good bike?

    Very honestly, the two-wheeler industry has seldom seen such a well-received and well-made bike. There is attention to intricate detail from the manufacturer, and no part of the bike feels cheap. With premium materials and good ride quality, the Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS is surely a good bike. That said, it will only be a good investment if you are more about small city trips and not cruising or long rides on the bike. While the ride quality is quite impressive for a naked sportbike, the Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS is not very comfortable for long rides.

  • Is it worth buying Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS?

    Given the information mentioned in this review, it is quite evident that at this price range, the Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS offers the most features and convenience. To put it simply, buying this bike is surely worth the investment. On top of that, you will also get the after-sale services and guarantee of Bajaj, a well-known brand in the automobile industry.

  • Which is better, Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS or KTM Duke 200?

    Although both these bikes are quite similar, and the Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS takes a lot from the KTM duke, if you are looking to buy a bike that suffices all your standard needs, you should go for the Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS. In addition to that, it is also a tad bit cheaper than the KTM Duke but surely comes with the same features and a similarly punchy engine.

  • Which model of Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS is best?

    Unfortunately, the Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS only comes in one variant, and all other models of this bike have been discontinued by Bajaj. You can buy the Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS BS-VI variant for Rs. 1.35 Lakh in the market.

Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Vs. Competition

As mentioned quite a few times in this review, both these bikes are very similar. Starting from the engine to the body type and even power output, there are various similarities. However, the KTM Duke 200 is a lot lighter and looks leaner than the Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS. Along with that, it has better mid-range performance and pick-up times.

Very recently launched, the Apache RTR 200 4V is the newest addition to TVS's naked bike portfolio and quite a good one at it. Coming at a lower price, although the Apache RTR 200 4V cannot compete with the Bajaj Pulsar's performance, it sure does make up in looks and build quality.

With this information, it is evident how the Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS is a worthwhile purchase. If you are still skeptical, you can wait for a few more months till the new version launches in the commercial market.

All You Need to Know About the Pulsar NS200

There is no doubt that Bajaj has forever been one of the top brands in the automobile industry. With bikes catering to the mid-range section, all the way up to sports bikes. However, their commercial success was more evident with the introduction of the Pulsar line-up.

Given the success of the 220 CC Pulsar, The few years after that, there were no such new entries in the market, and Bajaj mostly invested in coming up with a new design language and colour schemes for the already launched models of Pulsar. Gradually, Bajaj started losing its potential customers given the repetitive design structure and performance of its bike and realised it was time to come up with something new. This is when, in the year 2012, Bajaj introduced their latest design language with the Pulsar 200 NS (NS being short for Naked-Sport). This was when the whole game changed for both Pulsar's market and Bajaj as a brand. 

It also introduced the new triple-spark design, in addition to the four-valve SOHC, to the market. Even though this bike does not come with a fuel-injected engine like its predecessor, it does not leave any stone unturned in living up to the name. Starting from a gas-charged mono-shock to petal disc brakes in the front and disc brake in the back, the Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS was quite an impressive purchase then as well.
