Bajaj Auto has launched the Pulsar RS200
BS6 in India. The BS6-compliant model of the faired sibling of the Bajaj Pulsar
NS200 has been priced at INR 1.44 lakh*. The new Bajaj Pulsar
RS200 BS6 doesn’t have any visual upgrades. It continues to flaunt its large
fairing with sharp graphics and dual-projector headlamps. The split seat set up
along with the high-rise tail section and the short side-mounted exhaust, give
the RS200 a sporty appeal. The motorcycle also features LED blinkers and
crystal LED taillights.
The cycle parts of the Pulsar RS200 BS6
are also the same as those of the bike’s BS4 version. Telescopic forks handle
the suspension duties at the front whereas at the rear there's a Nitrox
monoshock. The braking setup includes a 300 mm front disc, a 230 mm rear disc
and a single-channel ABS.
What’s new in the Pulsar RS200 is the
engine. It is a revised 199.5 cc single-cylinder, 4-valve, Triple Spark,
powerplant which is BS6-compliant. It produces 24.5 PS of maximum power at
9,750 rpm which is the same as that of the BS4 engine. The torque output of
this updated liquid-cooled, fuel-injected mill is 18.7 Nm that kicks in at
8,000 rpm. In comparison, the Pulsar RS200's BS4 engine used to generate 18.6
Nm of peak torque at the same revs. The transmission is the same 6-speed unit.
The Bajaj Pulsar RS200 BS6 model costs INR
1,44,966*, around INR 3,000 more than the outgoing Bajaj Pulsar RS200 BS4. It
is available in three colour options - Graphite Black, Racing Red and Racing
Blue.
