The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 BS6 has been
launched in India. At INR 1,25,030*, it is INR 10,675 dearer than the Pulsar
NS200 BS4. which retailed at INR 1,14,355*.
There are no cosmetic changes in the Bajaj
Pulsar NS200 BS6. It looks exactly the same as the old bike. It has an
aggressive headlight with a short visor, muscular fuel tank with sharp tank
scoops, split seats and split rear grab rails, engine cowl, alloy wheels and
dual-LED tail lights. Its instrument cluster is a semi-digital unit with an
analogue tachometer.
The cycle parts of the BS6 Pulsar NS200
are the same, too. There’s a 300 mm petal disc at the front and a 280 mm petal
disc at the rear. The braking system is further enhanced by the single-channel
ABS. The suspension duties are handled by conventional telescopic forks and
Nitrox monoshock at the front and rear respectively.
Powering the new Pulsar NS200 BS6 is a
revised version of the old bike's 199.5 cc single-cylinder engine. This updated
4-valve, liquid-cooled, Triple Spark powerplant has a fuel-injection system.
This should lead to improved throttle response, performance and fuel
efficiency. The maximum power output is the same - 24.5 PS. However, the torque
output is 18.5 Nm (+0.2 Nm). Like the BS4 engine, the BS6 engine is linked to a
6-speed transmission.
The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 BS6 is available in
four colours - Graphite Black, Mirage White, Fiery Yellow and Wild Red. It
competes directly with the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V BS6 that costs INR 1.25 lakh*.
