I bought my bajaj pulsar rs 200 on 4th October, 2016, . And had a great thirst for it, it was available in affordable price of approx 1, 50, 000. So I bought it knowing that this beast is the only roarer and a true racer in 200- 250cc segment.
when I first rode the bike it was an amazing experience, with the most comfortable sitting and riding postures. It might not give you a sporty feel, but is very comfortable in comparison to any other sports bike. The handle bars are up compared to others which keeps your back straight if you are approx 5 feet 7 inches tall. Shifting gears are little bit hard but it doesn’t matters so much while riding. The abs part of this bike has a very good performance in an emergency. The roaring sound on a blank track gives you a feeling that is not explainable. The torque is low, so you have to get the gear very low while crossing bumpers. There is a smooth pickup not as much as the yamahas but is very smooth at higher gears or higher speeds. Talking about night visibility, you get a pair of projector headlamps, which are very powerful, I think in this segment.
the look of this bike from front is like a two eyed bird. The back brake light is an amazing attractor to this motorcycle, which gives a shape of love. The pillion seat is not up not down, and 5-6 cm upper than the riders seat. Engine is covered with visors. And I think you can keep two bottles in the visors below the handle bars on both sides, as I used to. The sound from the visors are more.
the servicing of this bike will cost you around 2000 rs/- which is quite affordable.It requires quick servicing as I experienced. Advised to service within 5000kms, it requires service in 3000kms.
Some of the fittings gets loose after 3000kms which are to be serviced.
the speed of this bike is higher than that of duke 250, fz250, and others but the pick up is very low. You can challenge all these upto 250 segments in a long highway run, but not in the city roads . This bikes has a top speed in the 250 and below segment. It has a very powerful racing sound that gets a fearing feel.
the negative part are the sound-full visors, low torques mileage is good upto 30 kms/ litre, but fluctuates on riding. Quick servicing intervals
but it has more pros compared to the negative parts. If you will ask for a bike in this segment and within a price range of 150000 rs/-, I will suggest you a brand new bajaj pulsar rs 200
thank you
