An
international-spec Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Fi ABS has received a visual upgrade with
the addition of neon blue, yellow and red stickers on various panels and on the
wheels. We stumbled upon the three graphics options on the international-spec
models. There is no confirmation about the neon graphics
arriving on the India spec models. However, Bajaj can introduce the new
graphics scheme as a last hurrah before an all-new Pulsar range arrives with
the implementation of the BS-VI norms.
The neon graphics
add a subtle styling upgrade without overpowering the base colours, thus making
the bike look more appealing than the standard option. The neon treatment is
visible on the “Fi” badge on the fuel tank, sides of the rider seat and on the
tank pad. Wheel stickers are matched with the highlights on the body.
Mechanical
specifications remain standard - the neon graphics versions employ a 199.5cc,
single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine that delivers 24.13 hp of
power at 9,750 rpm and 18.6 Nm of peak torque at 8,000 rpm. The motor is paired
with a six-speed gearbox.
Stopping power
comes from a 280mm disc at the front and a 230mm disc at the rear. Safety net
features a single-channel ABS along with Rear Lift-off Protection (RLP) – a
setup that is also seen on India spec Bajaj products. Suspension department
includes conventional telescopic forks at the front and a gas-charged monoshock
at the rear. The motorcycle rides on MRF Nylogrip tyres.
