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.
