I love the way this bike is designed, it looks like an attitude devil. hence I ride it sometimes a lot. I have done 0 to 100 drag in 9.1 seconds on it I can still do better. its seating posture is awesome you can tour on it take it to track can take all of that with ease. I raced with my friend's RC 200 head to head and at the start, it was neck to neck after 120 my RS blew it to 150.

About the Reviewer

When i buy pulsar rs200 the feeling of getting sports bike only guys know that feeling not to describe in words. Riding experience is very good in city and racing but for long rides this bike is not very much suitable for everyone. Looks are amazing performance wise very supportive to rider in any condition. Service and maintenance is very much on cheaper side.

Pros :looks are good aggressive. Nice to eagle eyes projector exhaust sound good to hear highly budgeted performance bike in aggressive riding condition... Every one want to ride this bike and make the exhaust sound hard..

Cons. :Not very much fast pickup compare to ktm rc 200 or r15

not very much suited for short riders

not everyone is getting comfortable with long rides

vibration but it can manage by motul engine oil20w50

About the Reviewer

I was planning to buy a motorcycle which would be a second hand 2017 duke 390 which i was getting in a price which is equivalent to the new pulsar rs200, i was looking for a bike which can do a good digits of top speed and have good acceleration and the main thing was to do highway riding between 100-110 km/h with absolutely ease with stressing the engine at all. Also i was looking for a motorcycle which is practically for commuter with good performance to overtake and also would be pocket friendly and reliable for longtime storage as well for like 3 to 4 months. I heard that the ktm 390's are the inexpensive to maintain amongst it's category compared with ninja 300 and other 300 to 400cc motorcycles. So i took a test drive if the motorcycle both the rc390 and the duke 390. Honestly i was very much impressed with the performance of both the motorcycles. Then i came home and researched a lot about ownership maintenance and issues, that was the point where i felt heartbroken. I saw many problems with the tft display and ride by wire throttle including few other electronic and the moist problem with the tail light, engine heating in traffic, poor fuel consumption in the city and all which got me into a negative impact also the tyres and sprockets and other parts was a bit expensive for me so i dropped the plan of buying the ktm. Also i had a conversation with my friends of friends who owns 390's. So i thought about the dominnar 400 which is a value for money product but it's the same the price of 2nd hand 2019 models were a bit higher than the ktm 390's and the older model of the dominnar i didn't like it also the price wasn't less. One fine day i was in the traffic and saw an rs200 by my side so thought about researching about the pulsar rs200 so i started. One day i went to the showroom and took a test ride and its was a very good motorcycle indeed not as blisteringly quick as the ktm 390's but it has very good performance and pickup. So it impressed me though i wanted to own a bit bigger bike but that was not comfortable for me with the maintenance and other things so i immediately decided to book the rs200. Also i had seen some people complaining about the vibrations in the fairing but honestly i didn't feel any though it was a bs4 model. The sitting posture of the bike is not aggressive or committed but its a very good for daily committing also touring purpose also the pillion seat is adequately comfortable. So i went back home and had planned to buy it on monday as i took the test ride on saturday evening. So i kept my research continued also i was seeing some of the used bikes to see the resale values. Meanwhile i saw a sparkling brand new rs200 which had done only 4.7k kms in the odo and it was only 7 months old in extremely well maintained condition and he quoted the price of 95k as he was leaving the state. I immediately called him and went to see the bike next morning at the first glance it impressed me a lot and it was smooth and refined without any scratches or spots in the body. I immediately settled the deal for 90k and it became mine. The puslar rs200 is a very good bike in terms of reliability and maintain is inexpensive though the bike is a bit on the heavier side but its alright. I had a great performance and had a great ability to cruise at 110-115 km/h with ease without stressing the engine at all. I serviced the bike at 7.5k km and almost changed everything for superior performance and smoothness the thing's i changed and done was:- Engine oil 10w 40 full synthetic Engine oil flush Changed engine oil filter Changed fuel filter Changed air filer Changed the spark plugs Changed the brake pads Changed the coolant Changed the battery (just for satisfaction)Changed the tyres (due to multiple punctures)Changed the chain set (for own satisfaction).Cleaned the injectors Cleaned the fuel pump Cleaned the throttle body (thought it was not required but still for smoothes) Changed headlights to led (low power consumption and good visibility.These were the following things i changed few things were not at all required to replace but still done because i wanted to over pamper my bike and keep it extremely fit and fine. Now talking about the fuel consumption and fuel maintenance to avoid fuel pump malfunctioning:-I use to get without servicing was 30 kmp/l (tested) which was least i got in an horrible bumper to bumper congested traffic and where i wasn't able to even shift to 3rd gear and on the normal daily traffic and city usages it delivered 33 kmpl and on the highways it delivers 38 kmp/l. With normal unleaded petrol and with power petrol it gives 35 in city and 40 kmpl in the highways. The fuel tank is of 13liters and delivers a very good range as per the performance. Any fi motorcycle needs to keep the fuel pump submerged with the fuel so it can avoid malfunctioning so it requires 3 liters of fuel for safety. When the fuel bars starts blinking it indicates you to fill your tank immediately coz its the time it starts to uses your 3 liter safety reserved fuel. Well digital fuels meters can never show accurate fuel level but you must not run the bike with 1 fuel bar. Atleast keep 3-4 bars. The best thing would be to once fill up the tank and until it reaches to 3 bars you can use it then after again fill the tank and always try to use power petrol for better performance and to keep engine smooth and healthy.Servicing and maintenance :-The normal and basic servicing is changing the engine oil at every 7000 kms if using full synthetic oil else do it in every 5500 kms. The servicing includes oil change, oil filter change, airfilter change and coolant flush and motorcycle washing. Which costs around 1500-2000 including labour charges (depending your city) without major parts changing and price may differ by the quality of engine oil and coolant you choose.Change the chain sprocket in every 17k kms if you ride with proper chain cleaning and lubrication at every 500 kms then max it can go upto 19k kms. Change the tyres in every 13,000 kms depending what tyres you use soft compound or hard compounds be it anything its always better to change it when you see it starts to loose its grip and starts becoming plain. Change the brake pads when you notice lack of bite never use it until the pads completely worns out because that might damage the disc rotors so change it maintaining the safe side.Performance:-The pulsar rs200 is the fastest bikes of all 200cc bikes in india. Acceleration of the motorcycle is very good and quick the 200cc motor has enough power to to reach top speed of 145 kmh with pillion and without pillion the speedometer shows 152 kmh which is more than enough for Indian roads. But the speedometer has some errors in it whereas it actually does 139 kmh with pillion and 145 kmh without pillion as per the gps actual top speed. As this is a high revving engine it requires to push the throttle more to climb uphill the torque is also sufficient to push the motorcycle anywhere thought it requires a bit high rev but does the job very easily. The sweet spot of the bike is 6,000 rpm where the engine feels very smooth. Pros:-Abs Looks All india available service network Seating position Performance Fuel consumption Low maintenance Led indicators Cons:-Needs removing fairing just to change the air filter Seat height Weight Conclusion :- For me buying this bike is worth because unlikely the ktm 390's it doesn't heat up to roast your legs, fuel consumption is also great parts are affordable and durable. Its looks sporty and can commute daily and also practical i would not recommend to spend twice the amount of money on big bikes with 400cc just to get extra 20kmh top speed and crazy acceleration. The pulsar rs200 is definitely a value for money and have a great performance for its segment. If you have budget and maintenance and fuel consumption is not an issue then go for 400cc.

About the Reviewer

Pros1.Good looks2.Value for money3.Ample power in 200cc4.Cheap maintenance costCons1. Engine not refined compared to japanese bikes 2.Abs could have been dual channel 3.Brakes are not that good for a bike weighing 165+kg4.Could have come with a slipper clutch. Rs 200 is one in its segment which we can rely on even for long rides..Good seating posture and a decent mileage.

About the Reviewer

I have this bike since 2015, and i must say, i am very happy with it. Being a bajaj, it's maintenance is ultra inexpensive. For a 200cc bike, the performance is also decent. I've ridden it at speeds north of one and a half century. The best part is its seating position and handling, it doesn't ache your back in the city. However, few drawbacks - stiff riding;(really hurts on long rides), exhaust sound(could be more masculine), rear view mirror position, only single channel abs (now it comes with dual channel) and vibration at higher rpms (though at those speeds you may not pay attention to that as you'll be occupied with the handling).Rest everything exceeds your expectations in this price segment.

About the Reviewer

The rs200 is an amazing bike i have ever used . Compared to other bikes of this cc we can say "rs200 is a value for money" bike . Good riding comfort . And good power . @ 6k rpm the bike is a beginner friendly bike but above 8k rpm it's a expert racing bike. If anyone need a 200cc bike with high power . This is the bike .I prefer this bike . All the best.

I immediately called him and went to see the bike next morning at the first glance it impressed me a lot and it was smooth and refined without any scratches or spots in the body. I immediately settled the deal for 90k and it became mine. The puslar rs200 is a very good bike in terms of reliability and maintain is inexpensive though the bike is a bit on the heavier side but its alright. I had a great performance and had a great ability to cruise at 110-115 km/h with ease without stressing the engine at all. I serviced the bike at 7.5k km and almost changed everything for superior performance and smoothness the thing's i changed and done was:- Engine oil 10w 40 full synthetic Engine oil flush Changed engine oil filter Changed fuel filter Changed air filer Changed the spark plugs Changed the brake pads Changed the coolant Changed the battery (just for satisfaction)Changed the tyres (due to multiple punctures)Changed the chain set (for own satisfaction).Cleaned the injectors Cleaned the fuel pump Cleaned the throttle body (thought it was not required but still for smoothes) Changed headlights to led (low power consumption and good visibility.These were the following things i changed few things were not at all required to replace but still done because i wanted to over pamper my bike and keep it extremely fit and fine. Now talking about the fuel consumption and fuel maintenance to avoid fuel pump malfunctioning:-I use to get without servicing was 30 kmp/l (tested) which was least i got in an horrible bumper to bumper congested traffic and where i wasn't able to even shift to 3rd gear and on the normal daily traffic and city usages it delivered 33 kmpl and on the highways it delivers 38 kmp/l. With normal unleaded petrol and with power petrol it gives 35 in city and 40 kmpl in the highways. The fuel tank is of 13liters and delivers a very good range as per the performance. Any fi motorcycle needs to keep the fuel pump submerged with the fuel so it can avoid malfunctioning so it requires 3 liters of fuel for safety. When the fuel bars starts blinking it indicates you to fill your tank immediately coz its the time it starts to uses your 3 liter safety reserved fuel. Well digital fuels meters can never show accurate fuel level but you must not run the bike with 1 fuel bar. Atleast keep 3-4 bars. The best thing would be to once fill up the tank and until it reaches to 3 bars you can use it then after again fill the tank and always try to use power petrol for better performance and to keep engine smooth and healthy.Servicing and maintenance :-The normal and basic servicing is changing the engine oil at every 7000 kms if using full synthetic oil else do it in every 5500 kms. The servicing includes oil change, oil filter change, airfilter change and coolant flush and motorcycle washing. Which costs around 1500-2000 including labour charges (depending your city) without major parts changing and price may differ by the quality of engine oil and coolant you choose.Change the chain sprocket in every 17k kms if you ride with proper chain cleaning and lubrication at every 500 kms then max it can go upto 19k kms. Change the tyres in every 13,000 kms depending what tyres you use soft compound or hard compounds be it anything its always better to change it when you see it starts to loose its grip and starts becoming plain. Change the brake pads when you notice lack of bite never use it until the pads completely worns out because that might damage the disc rotors so change it maintaining the safe side.Performance:-The pulsar rs200 is the fastest bikes of all 200cc bikes in india. Acceleration of the motorcycle is very good and quick the 200cc motor has enough power to to reach top speed of 145 kmh with pillion and without pillion the speedometer shows 152 kmh which is more than enough for Indian roads. But the speedometer has some errors in it whereas it actually does 139 kmh with pillion and 145 kmh without pillion as per the gps actual top speed. As this is a high revving engine it requires to push the throttle more to climb uphill the torque is also sufficient to push the motorcycle anywhere thought it requires a bit high rev but does the job very easily. The sweet spot of the bike is 6,000 rpm where the engine feels very smooth. Pros:-Abs Looks All india available service network Seating position Performance Fuel consumption Low maintenance Led indicators Cons:-Needs removing fairing just to change the air filter Seat height Weight Conclusion :- For me buying this bike is worth because unlikely the ktm 390's it doesn't heat up to roast your legs, fuel consumption is also great parts are affordable and durable. Its looks sporty and can commute daily and also practical i would not recommend to spend twice the amount of money on big bikes with 400cc just to get extra 20kmh top speed and crazy acceleration. The pulsar rs200 is definitely a value for money and have a great performance for its segment. If you have budget and maintenance and fuel consumption is not an issue then go for 400cc.

Engine not refined compared to japanese bikes 2.Abs could have been dual channel 3.Brakes are not that good for a bike weighing 165+kg4.Could have come with a slipper clutch. Rs 200 is one in its segment which we can rely on even for long rides..Good seating posture and a decent mileage.

About the Reviewer

I have this bike since 2015, and i must say, i am very happy with it. Being a bajaj, it's maintenance is ultra inexpensive. For a 200cc bike, the performance is also decent. I've ridden it at speeds north of one and a half century. The best part is its seating position and handling, it doesn't ache your back in the city. However, few drawbacks - stiff riding;(really hurts on long rides), exhaust sound(could be more masculine), rear view mirror position, only single channel abs (now it comes with dual channel) and vibration at higher rpms (though at those speeds you may not pay attention to that as you'll be occupied with the handling).Rest everything exceeds your expectations in this price segment.

The rs200 is an amazing bike i have ever used . Compared to other bikes of this cc we can say "rs200 is a value for money" bike . Good riding comfort . And good power . @ 6k rpm the bike is a beginner friendly bike but above 8k rpm it's a expert racing bike. If anyone need a 200cc bike with high power . This is the bike .I prefer this bike . All the best.
