Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS200 launched at Rs. 1.18 lakh Mod Note: Our Pulsar RS200 ride report has been taken live at this link. Please continue the discussion over on the new thread. Thanks!
As someone who was seriously considering the RS 200 for his first bike, I feel disappointed.
1. I'd take the clean styling of the R15 or the CBR. The 200's side profile is just overwhelming. Yes, it is growing on me, but still.
2. I think they really should have launched the bike in black for 2 reasons.
(i) Black is a safe and default choice for many people (including me).
(i) It would have helped mute the overdone styling.
3. When Bajaj say the RS is ' the fastest pulsar ever', they seem to be referring to the top speed. Acceleration seems to be slower than the 200 NS because of increase in weight but minimal increase in power. For me at least, the bike is going to spend 100% of its life as a city commuter and therefore acceleration is more important to me.
