Bajaj withdrew the Pulsar 200NS from the market as it was unable to meet the emission norms. However, the 2017 fuel-injected Pulsar 200NS was unveiled some time ago. Now, it has a BS IV-compliant engine which meets the emission norms. Unofficial bookings for the same have already started. On contacting few dealers, we got to know that the motorcycle will be priced at Rs 1,16,200 (on-road, Mumbai) and is likely to be launched by the first or second week of February 2017. It can be booked with a token amount of Rs 1,000.
The motorcycle does not get any major cosmetic updates except the new colour scheme that looks crisper than the earlier models. The Bajaj Pulsar 200NS continues to use the same perimeter frame chassis that is used in all the new generation Bajaj bikes, including the Pulsar Adventure Sport (AS) series, RS200 and the newly-launched Dominar 400.
The motorcycle retains the 199.5cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, 4-valve engine from the previous model, with triple-spark technology. Major changes in the new model include fuel injection, which offers crisper throttle response, and the bike is now BS-IV compliant. The 2017 model will deliver 24.5PS and a peak torque of 18.6Nm, similar to its fully-faired sibling, the RS200.
Another new addition to the 2017 Bajaj Pulsar 200NS will be ABS, which will be offered at an additional cost over the standard model.Once back in the market after a small pause, the Pulsar NS200 will take on the likes of the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V and the newly launched FZ25.
