    strength in its name and game 

    My Bajaj Pulsar NS200 is a popular and well-established bike in the Indian market, known for its sporty performance, stylish design, and attractive price point. The NS200 gets a 199.5cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, BS6 engine. According to my experience mileage claims a 40.36 kmpl . It offers a sportier riding posture compared to its smaller siblings in the NS range. The handlebar is slightly lower than a standard commuter bike , and the footpegs are a bit rear-set. The sportier riding posture might not be ideal for long rides with a pillion passenger.

    Great Bike 

    Bought it in February 2023. Wasn't a fan of Bajaj, but I wanted a performance bike under 1.5 lakh rupees. Compared to KTM Duke, FZ 250, RE Thunderbird, and Classic 350, NS felt like an SUV due to its ride height. Despite some panel gaps and turning radius issues, the bike's performance post 6k rpm is unmatched. Raw sound and strong braking make it ideal for moto enthusiasts. Mileage stands at around 35 kmpl in cities and 40 kmpl on highways. Fully satisfied with it—perfect if you crave high revs and speeds.
