The most awaited
motorcycle of 2012 and one that will set the course of Indian
motorcycling for the next decade to come, the all-new Bajaj Pulsar 200NS
has made its grand arrival. Expected to be priced under a lakh of
rupees (ex-showroom, Delhi), the Pulsar 200NS is as good as it gets!
Head to our special coverage of the new Pulsar!
India’s second largest bike-maker Bajaj Auto
took the wraps off the next-generation Pulsar today in Mumbai.
Revolutionary, radical and realistic, the new Pulsar 200NS (the NS
denoting Naked Sports) will be the successor to the country’s highest
sold performance motorcycle, the Pulsar. After completing a successful
decade long stint and crossing the esteemed milestone of selling over 4
million Pulsars, Bajaj Auto is geared to make its second innings an even
bigger success with the new Pulsar and it has all the right weaponry in
its arsenal to take on the premium motorcycle market in the country
once again.
Equipped with state-of-the-art technologies and world class level of
components, the brand new Bajaj Pulsar 200NS is entirely engineered by
Bajaj Auto and it is a marvel how its maker has managed to package the
best of everything into one motorcycle without demanding a hefty premium
for it. Powered by a 199.5cc 4-valve, liquid-cooled single cylinder
engine, the Pulsar 200NS achieves the goal of more from less in an
absolute modest fashion yet rewarding the rider with all the jollies he
desires.
Fed by a 33mm Mikuni carburetor, the engine pumps out 23.52PS at
9,500rpm and 18.3Nm of torque at 8,000rpm. Developed in-house by Bajaj
Auto, the new Pulsar once again comes with ground-breaking of triple
spark plug for improved efficiency without having to compromise on
overall performance.
It is incredible how Bajaj Auto has managed to get absolutely every single aspect of performance
motorcycling for the street so right. But when you trace the Pulsar’s
development over past ten years, the picture becomes a lot clearer with
consistent updates every year, an R&D division that is always on its
toes yearning for a faster and quicker Pulsar, teams dedicated to get
feedback from online biking forums and motorcycle blogs and to top it
all, a visionary like Rajiv Bajaj heading the operation.
This is exactly what millions of Indian bikers and countless
Pulsarmaniacs have been expecting from the bike-maker that brought power
to the people a decade ago
in the form of the Bajaj Pulsar. And in its newest avatar, it pays a
fitting homage to the icon that the Pulsar brand has become over the
past ten years and one that will continue to reign supreme for the
coming ten years as well.
The new Bajaj Pulsar 200NS is expected to hit the roads by April 2012
but the price for the motorcycle is yet to be disclosed. Although it is
expected that the price will be on the higher side of the current
out-going Pulsar 220F DTSi, the company has clearly stated at the unveil
of the bike in Mumbai that the price will be under the one lakh rupee
range.
