While a lot has been talked about the most awaited performance bike in India – the Bajaj Pulsar 200NS, the bike is about to go to final production. Bajaj has been testing the bike rigorously in and around Pune. Test bikes have been given to many commuters and riders and every feedback is studied in detail. As a result, there would be a few changes incorporated on the final production bike.

• The most prominent one would be the inclusion of a 55watt headlamp in place of a 35watt in the prototype model.
  
• The second thing we did not like was the presence of EUROGRIP tyres on all the bikes we had seen so far. Bajaj would be considering providing the MRF Zappers also along with Eurogrips.
  
• Changes to the rear mudguard are also in talks with the matt effect taking place instead of the current glossy finish.

Apart from these there are other minor tweaks which Bajaj would be doing to ensure that Pulsar is taken well by the market. Its price tag of ‘under 1 lakh’ also keeps the value for money preposition. The bike’s launch has been delayed a little possibly to iron out all the issues found during testing. Pulsar 200NS should be making an appearance by next month.
Exact launch date and price have not been made public by Bajaj.

The first two are once that i feel were really needed..

OK , so no one started a topic for the 2012 Pulsars ?

Loved the look of this - agreed a copy of the CB1000R , but that's Bajaj giving Honda a ****job
Anyway, overall it looks like a winner, in terms of looks and specs. Only the smaller (oh why BAL ) 12 litre fuel tank and 35W headlamp are downers. And it's still on carbs. Doesn't Bajaj understand the importance of a low-carb diet ?

I think the P200 NS will end up eating the KTM 200 sales rather than the KTM eat up the CBR250R's sales. With 23hp, it is close to the KTM's power and so the CBR's as well. For 100k , it's a good 60k less than a CBR with 50cc more but matching the kit except for fairing and ABS option. The KTM sits right in the middle of the CBR250R and P200 NS. I think it's not that nice a place to be, while purists and fanboys will buy the KTM, the bulk of the potential/targeted customers will diverge , to the CBR250 or the Pulsar (or the bigger Pulsar , 250/300 if/when it comes).

I wonder what the drum braked spied Pulsars were , 125s ? What of the 150/180 ?
Hero and Yamaha must be praying those 150s/180s in the new 200-esque avatar don't show up soon.

The Pulsar 200 NS has a 55/60W headlamp. The actual fuel tank capacity is 13 litres.

I agree. If I can spend a lac- I'd push a bit more and get the Orange juice anyday!
