The Pulsar 200 NS was, in a way, Bajaj’s first modern sports bike. It was the first Bajaj to get a perimeter frame, a rear monoshock and a potent liquid-cooled motor. The NS 200 came with almost all the bells and whistles you wanted in a sports bike but offered it all at a very affordable asking price.
NS 200 is faster to the 100kmph mark, completing the 0-100kmph run in 12.58 second.
The key changes are aimed at helping the NS pass upcoming BS-IV norms. To do so the 199cc liquid-cooled engine gets a new CDI ignition unit that gets more maps for a more precise spark duration that enhances combustion efficiency in all riding loads and conditions. This means better efficiency, performance and ultimately, cleaner emissions from the engine. Then there is a fuel vapour recirculation unit and a reworked catalytic converter for BS-IV compliance. Power output from the 199cc single remains the same 23.52PS at 9500rpm and 18.3Nm of torque at 8000rpm. Bajaj has also worked on the NS 200’s design to make it look more premium and up-to-date.
