We are here at the launch of the much-awaited motorcycle for the Indian market - the Bajaj Pulsar RS 200. The Bajaj Pulsar RS200, where the RS stands for Race Sport, is claimed to be the 'Fastest Pulsar Yet'.
The RS200 is the smaller sibling of the Pulsar SS400 that was unveiled at the 2014 Auto Expo. The motorcycle gets the same body kit that the Pulsar SS400 had, which includes dual projector headlamps, DRLS, new OVRMs, clip-on handle-bars and new tail lamps. The Bajaj Pulsar RS200 will come equipped with the same 200cc engine that the current NS200 is powered with. It produces 23.5bhp of power and 18.3Nm of torque.
