The much-anticipated Bajaj Pulsar 200 SS might be launched by the end of this financial year as the company has started the bike's production at its facility in Pimpri, Pune. In fact, a bike enthusiast - Rakesh Gowda - has posted some exclusive pictures of the production-ready version of the bike on his Facebook profile. These pictures seem to have been clicked at some dealership, though there is no clarity about its location.
For people not in the know, the Pulsar 200 SS is based on the Pulsar NS200 but shares its design with the Pulsar SS 400 concept that was unveiled at this year's Delhi Auto Expo. Powering this fully-faired bike will be the same 199.5cc engine that also does duty on the Pulsar NS200. This engine churns out a maximum power output of 23bhp and 18Nm of torque.
Coming to the bike's design, it features a tank similar to that of the NS200; it features twin projector head-lamps, clip-on handlebar, a small-side slung exhaust, spilt seat design and the NS200-inspired plastic splatter guard.
Expected to be priced a little over Rs 1 lakh, the Pulsar 200 SS will take on the likes of KTM RC200 and Yamaha R15.
