Pros Cons of Bajaj Pulsar RS 200

Pros

The 199.5 cc fuel-injected engine delivers 24.16 bhp, offering good throttle response and a top speed of over 140 km/h
Comfortable upright seating position with well-padded seats, ideal for longer rides
Strong braking performance with single-channel ABS providing added safety during emergency braking

Cons

Vibrations start to creep in at higher revs, especially beyond 9000 rpm, affecting comfort
The rear suspension feels too soft for aggressive riding, causing instability in corners
Over-the-top styling may not appeal to everyone, with the front design and tail-lamps appearing too busy

Verdict

The Bajaj Pulsar RS200 is a solid performer in the 200 cc segment, offering a good balance of power, comfort, and safety features like ABS. While its handling could be improved for more aggressive riding, and its styling might not be to everyone’s taste, it still offers excellent value for riders looking for a fast, comfortable, and feature-packed sports bike. It may not be as sharp as the Yamaha R15 or KTM RC200, but for those seeking a practical, everyday sports bike with a bit of flair, the RS200 delivers.

Pros Cons Ducati Panigale V4

Pros

High-performance superbike
Superlative performance & handling
Sharp looks, flagship Ducati superbike

Cons

Not suitable for everyday road use
High-performance superbike for expert riders

Verdict

The new Ducati Panigale V4 S has that innate quality that makes a 200-plus bhp superbike very accessible and safe around a racetrack. Sure, it's not made for less experienced riders new to litre-class superbikes, and despite the state-of-the-art electronics package, one wrong twist of the wrist can make things go wrong very quickly; after all, all that power and torque over a wide rev range is not to be fooled with, or taken lightly, by any standard.
