The frame is the pressed steel spar like on the 200NS but the steering is one degree sharper leading to a 5mm drop in wheelbase.A lot of previous Pulsars - the 200NS is an exception - worked rather well at street speeds and a bit beyond.I suspect that the RC 200 would be even more accurate and easy to push harder still, but the RS200 is pretty damn good in its own right.The RS200 is a clever little sportsbike. Itdoes get some of the ability and performance required to be called a sportsbike.
