After number of spy pictures doing the round of the internet, Bajaj Motorcycles has finally launched its first fully-faired motorcycle, the Pulsar RS 200 for the Indian market. Previously touted to be called as the Pulsar SS200, this bike has been the most anticipated launch from the company. Marketed as the fastest Pulsar yet, the Pulsar RS200 designed to be a compact sportsbike and features clip-on handlebars. Unlike other fully-faired motorcycle like the Yamaha YZF-R15, the RS200 doesnt have as aggressive riding stance as of a super sport motorcycle. The riding position is slightly upright and is suitable for mild touring. The Pulsar RS200 is powered by same 200cc engine that powers the naked Pulsar NS200. However, this engine is fuel-injected and churns out 24.5bhp at 9,750rpm and maximum torque of 18.6Nm at 8,000rpm. For the first time, the Pune-based manufacturer is offering an ABS variant as well, along with a non-ABS variant.

This engine produces 15.3bhp of power and 14.6Nm of torque and is mated to a five-speed gearbox. It sits on an 80/100 front tyre and a 110/80 rear tyre.
