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.
Iv heard that P200NS has a smoother exhaust note compared to D200 (& ofcourse much smoother than P220F).. How far is that true? Also do you have any idea when the Faired P200 will be launched? Today I saw some bike in the morning probably it was D200 and the sound was amazingly good.
Abhisek Kumar Verma yeah…i was lucky to have a lil rendezvous with the new bajaj recently….one of the best things about it is the brakes…
I have always love your post on Motoroids. Watching some rare pics of P200NS on your profile. 🙂
Abhisek Kumar Verma nah..do not thank me for nothing..it is always nice interacting with dear readers…even i want a fairing on the 200 ns….i am quite bored with my 2009 220F…
Thats true. Reliability will be told by time. I can just have fingers crossed but I blv it should not be a problem. Karizma has quite dated engine as well as body I dont like them a bit. Hope to see a nice fairing on new P200 since fairing crazy ppl are alot in our country. Thanks for the quick reply.
