Recently Asked User Questions

Q. RS200 BS4 or RS200 BS6 which one is best?
  • The difference between the BS4 and BS6 versions is despite the BS6 update, powering the Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 is a 199.5cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled motor derived from the KTM 200 range. The BS6 fuel-injected motor on the RS makes 24.5PS and 18.7Nm, 0.1Nm more than its BS4 counterpart. The 6-speed transmission has been left untouched. The Pulsar RS 200 features a perimeter frame, a chunky telescopic fork and a gas-charged monoshock. Anchoring the bike is a single 300mm disc up front and a 230mm disc at the rear with dual-channel ABS. The earlier BS4 model came with a single-channel setup.
Q. I am fully confused If am comparing RS 200 with R15 v3. Which bike is better for long drive and good mileage and better performance?
  • In all the three aspects you have mentioned my friend, RS200 is better. For long drives the riding position isn't so aggressive, which makes it easier to ride long distances. Your girlfriend would be more comfortable plus u both would look better on an RS than an R15, she won't feel like sitting on the floor above you. Mileage would be more or less the same. My RS gives around 37-40 in traffic. RS is 200cc. Also it is heavy. I have experienced that is has been stabler on road and highways, although its weight isn't so helpful during sharp turns. For your purposes mentioned, RS will be a better option.
  • According to me it's hard to choose between both but as an enthusiast and Indian I see people neglecting rs for it's desiness but no it's not bad when compared with r15 in terms of engine and electrical rs its way better so we should keep supporting Indian company so that they offer more better in future #pulsardefinitelymale
  • Bro.... go for RS200...I am using RS for last 3.5 years and done 48000 kms still it's a beast ,fuel economy is around 42 km/ltr average....If you tour a lot then RS is better option...RS have better power and topend than R15 v3....Still confused...?Then go for test ride at least 30 minutes

    the absolute best for you 

    My Bajaj Pulsar RS200 is a sporty and stylish motorcycle designed for performance-oriented riders. Generally it is a 199.5cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, BS6 engine. It claims a mileage of 35 kmpl . While it can contain a pillion passenger, the riding position might not be ideal for extended journeys due to the sportier design. It lacks airbags or traction control that might be found in bigger superbikes. The sportier riding posture might not be comfortable for long rides.

    Average bike 

    The look of this bike is just outstanding and attractive with the strong road presence but the fit and finishing is not good. The engine is so smooth with high performance and the top end of this bike is great but the vibration comes with this bike very high and the brakes are not good. The suspension is soft but the rear suspenison is not good and the mid range performance is not good and the seat is very hard which is uncomfortable and the handling is also not sharp.

    Overall The bike riding experience 

    Overall the bike riding experience in every mode is best ever in this segment i have driven dominar 400 and pulsar rs 300 but this bike duke390 is powerful naked beast and comfortable for the long rides as well better than rc390 i have also driven that but rc doesn't suits me although it is very good in segment.Duke has a little more vibration than rc 390 best thing about it is the pickup of bike in the starting gears and good accessories such as tft display and sporty lamps and indicators& look but these type have very less value after use duke 390 goes crazy on the ride mode.The power to the weight ratio is good but suits on the fit guy.
