Reviews of Bajaj Pulsar NS200

Style

it looks simply amazing in all colours, a true naked street fighter. Styling appears best when viewed from front, rear is average. Stunning looks, courtesy bajaj and edgar heinrich of bmw motorrad. The tank looks way larger/volutous as compared to its actual 12 liter capacity.

Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox

performance is great, in no ways it can be considered a slouch when compared to the duke 200 or the cbr250r. Acceleration is good and pick-up from standstill is also brisk. A top speed of 148 kmph was achieved on the speedo which in real world translates to a true top speed of 135 kmph (tested using android gps app).

Fuel economy isn't bad either, achieved a 26 kmpl in bombay city and 38 kmpl on long highway runs ate speeds over 100 kmph. But the 12 liter fuel tank capacity isn't sufficient for serious touring.

Gearbox is of good quality and gear ratios are well spaced to make it a comfortable ride in the city and on highways.

Ride quality & handling

this is an area that leaves a lot to be desired. The p200ns suspension is setup on the stiffer side to aid handling. The bike is an excellent handling machine no doubt, but the stiff suspension makes the ride quality pretty harsh on bad roads. Potholes and road undulations do not deviate the ns from its intended line, but transfers all the jerks to the rider's hands and butt. Add to this a minimalistic seat which literally causes a "saddlesore" on long hauls. The chassis is spot-on for handling, no two ways about it.

Final words

with our road conditions going bad to worse over each passing week, its not easy to live with the ns if serious touring is on the agenda. Cross winds play havoc with the bike's stability causing the rider immense disturbance on highways. The puny fuel tank and rock-hard seat don't do justice either to serious touring.

Areas of improvement

bajaj should have added the self-cancelling indicators on the ns too. A well padded seat is a must for this bike, city commuters won't face much of an issue though. The bike's cross wind stability is an area of great concern, it leaves a lot to be desired. Even a naked duke doesn't budge in windy conditions. Bajaj should rework the suspension damping of this bike to make it a bit less painful for touring.

Overall a good bike but my personal opinion is that if you can discount/overlook the liquid cooling, 4-valve head and triple spark of the ns, the pulsar 220f dtsi is a far better bike with excellent touring capabilities.

Pros

acceleration, tyre grip, headlight intensity, design, instrument console, handling, brakes

cons

stability on highways, seats, suspension

I purchased this bike in July 2023, After checking with other dealers, they told me the on-road price is 186k, and I finally bought it at Tenkasi Roja Bajaj for 176k. For my regular commute, this bike suits me very well. A little better rear breaks would have been nice. It seems like a useful bike with excellent performance. I would rate the service a 3 out of 5. advantages: It offers excellent performance and power for the price.  pros bike gives 32 kmpl at speeds between 85 and 120 kph and 35 kmpl at 60 and 85 kmph.

About the Reviewer

Pulsar Ns200 2023 is the real beast, makers really worked to improve this bike in every aspect.
Especially in Dual channel abs, USD forks and Gear position indicator and aluminium swing guard.
This all updated features makes this bike to buy absolutely under 2 lakh INR on road.
In Competition with Duke200 and RTR2004v. This is exceptional as Duke known for its madness power and one should compromise with the mileage of KTMs and price difference between duke 200 and ns 200 is about 40-45k. if one thinks of buying bike with premium quality spares you can go for KTM duke 200. As the build quality is okay in NS200.
Coming to RTR200 4v it is available with extra electronics and riding modes. but areas of improvement is also done in this bike but mileage we need to compromise.
Overall Bajaj manufactures bike which is more suitable to Indians thoughts that should be Cost efficient, maintenance is pocket friendly and throttle response is appreciable.

About the Reviewer

Pros :-

Best 200cc naked bike that you can get in Indian market at affordable price. With lots of advance features the only thing missing was abs but now they have added single channel abs. The engine is borrowed from duke 200 which is liquid cooled carburetor engine power is slightly less compared to duke 200 which is 23.7 ps and 18.3nm of torque . It has perimeter frame with monoshock at rear so for those who love cornering this bike for u. Also great machine on highway 6 th gear helps for relaxed cruising at around 90-100km/hr with no stress on engine top speed that i have done on this bike is 138km/hr bike is very stable at this speed bike does 0-100km in less than 10 sec. Mass centralization is very good because of underbelly exhaust. Its 200cc bike but bajaj have done good job to keep heat away from your legs in bumper to bumper traffic. Bike gives 32-35kmpl in city and on highway 40-43kmpl mileage if u are under 5000 rpm. Its bajaj so it has large service network. Also the bike service cost is less.

Cons:-

1) parts quality is not that good.

2)after every 500km chain starts making noise.

3)no abs on/off button.

4)underbelly exaust makes it worry more when we go on large pothole.

5)pillion seat is uncomfortable cushioning is not good seating feels uncomfortable for pillion on longer rides .

About the Reviewer

The NS 200 impresses with its aggressive yet stylish design, turning heads on the road. Its performance is commendable, delivering a powerful ride with responsive acceleration. The pros include a sturdy build, an efficient braking system, and a comfortable riding posture. However, the cons include a slightly stiff suspension and a bit of vibration at higher speeds. Riding the NS 200 is a thrilling experience, especially on open roads. The bike's handling is sharp, providing a sense of control. Servicing is relatively hassle-free, with routine maintenance keeping it in good condition. However, occasional parts replacement might be on the pricier side. The buying experience was smooth, and the dealership offered valuable insights. Despite some drawbacks, the NS 200 is a solid choice for riders seeking a blend of performance and aesthetics.

About the Reviewer

1) buying experience: i bought this before 5 year at that time it took almost 3-4 month to deliver that bike but i can understand because it was a initial launch of pulsar ns 200, so we can say it was quite satisfying.

2) riding experience: i love riding on pulsar ns 200, honestly telling you no other bikes can give you a pleasure of ride like pulsar ns 200.

3) looks : we can say "wow". 70% riders are looking for sporty bikes but can't afford it , here is best option for them because it's affordable which is under 1 lakhs (best deal!!)

performance : i believe it's sports category bike so we can expect mileage of 45-50 kmpl on highway and 35-38 kmpl in city, because it's personal experience that i filled petrol of 700 rs on that bike traveled 450 km which was awesome!!! perfect handling on highways and city as well.

4) servicing : every after 3 month servicing will keep your bike fit and fine.. Lol :-) but would prefer to do servicing from "authorized service center" it's quite cheaper and safer.

5) maintenance: it's a low maintenance . 5 star for maintenance.

6) pros: sporty look, people still staring your bike, it's been long time launching pulsar ns 200, good mileage (healthy for your pocket) , good handling, liquid cool, mono shock absorber, 6 speed gearbox

cons : not a family bike, taking sharp turn is quite difficult , always keep your battery active otherwise it will be a big problem to start bike, digital - analog console which is difficult to maintain in rainy season, need to keep it dry always.

Thanks.

About the Reviewer

Style

it have a style that catches the eyes of people. Phewww !! finally a good looking bike in india.

Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox

the engine says "hey ride me on top speed, i am not made for 40kmph" just kidding, the engine is good, which provides a good fuel economoy compared to other bikes in this competition, but the 6th gear is really slow, it drags itself to reach the top speed.

Ride quality & handling

the ride quality is overall okkkkk !! but the handling is superb, its doesnt shivers even at the speed of 130kmph and still can make a smooth and gliding turn, in cities it can also be a traffic cutter

final words

overall a very good bike, manufactured by an indian company, and it really gives a tough competition to ktm duke, which is far more expensive than pulsar 200ns, pulsar 200ns is the real value for money

areas of improvement

more service centres for 200ns.

Pros

handeling, pick up,

cons

slow gear speed (6)
