Bajaj working on a faired Pulsar 200NS. Perfect successor to the P220?

Yet another big announcement to come from the after effects of Bajaj unveiling the 2012 Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS is that Bajaj Auto is busy working on development of a fully faired variant of the recently showcased Pulsar 200 NS.

Now, most of the premium segment bikes (read: Hero ZMR, Yamaha R15, Honda CBR250R) sport a fairing and as per the perception of many, a faired bike needs to be sharper and faster. Several R15 buyers were smitten by the machine only because it ‘looked’ like a race bike. Some still compare the ZMR with the baby CBR because both of them sport a full fairing. Thus, having a fairing seems to be the most quintessential factor to appear cool.

The Pulsar 200NS should also rub shoulders with the upcoming CBR 150R. The good part is that it should be priced considerably lower than both the R15 and the 150R and the 23BHP machine should outrun these two 17 and 18 bhp bikes on the road.

The faired 200NS should be the perfect successor to the fast aging Pulsar 220 DTSi and we are eagerly waiting to swing a leg on the all new Pulsar.

  1. Yes! 200NS' engine is a league ahead of the engines seen on Pulsars but reliability will only be told by time. As for the power figures, this is very common. The new 200cc makes more power that 220cc only because it is a new age engine. 220 makes more power than Karizma's 223cc only because honda's is even older.

  2. Yatharth S. Chauhan Isnt Pulsar 200NS engine going to be reliable. I guess the older engines were not that reliable and could not stand much of an abuse but the new motor develop with Ktm is radical, refined unlike never before any Bajaj bike. So wouldn't it transform to reliability as well?

  3. Well, Bajaj engines are nowhere as smooth as Hondas…the new motor on 200 NS is almost like a Yamaha though. as for reliability….yes..people say bajaj engines are not reliable..but the fact is that they are reliable. Just that they cant stand much of an abuse. Good thing is that Bajaj spares are very cheap as compared to the Japanese. Hope this helps

  4. Pulsar 220F – 220CC, digital twin spark ignition system(dtsi-s) giving only 21PS.
    Pulsar 200NS – 200CC triple, while it is digital triple spark ignition system giving a whooping 23.52PS only 1.48PS less than Honda CBR 250r.
