Bajaj Auto has launched the ‘Racing Red’ colour
variant of the Bajaj Pulsar RS200 in the country. This adds to the already
existing ‘Racing Blue’ and ‘Graphite Black’ colours which the brand launched
last year.
The bike costs INR 123,891 for the non-ABS version
and INR 135,795 for the ABS variant. Both prices are ex showroom Delhi, and all
the colour options will be available at the same price. The new bike also comes
with a red colour front and a black rear alloy wheel. Apart from the colours,
the mechanicals are the same as the existing bike.
The Bajaj Pulsar RS200 employs a 199.5 cc single
cylinder mill with liquid cooling and fuel injection. The powerplant punches
out 24.5 PS at 9,750 rpm, and 18.6 Nm at 8,000 rpm. A 6-speed transmission does
duty on the bike, and helps it reach a claimed top speed of 141 km/h.
Cycle parts include telescopic front fork, and a
rear Nitrox monoshock. A 300 mm front disc and a 230 mm rear disc handle the
braking responsibility. A single channel ABS is optional. The motorcycle’s
chief rival is the KTM RC 200.
