Remember the loud sound of the first Pulsar? Bajaj’s NS series took that strong feeling and added modern power. Now, the 2024 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 is making its mark on Indian roads, and after riding it a lot, here’s the real story about what it’s like to own this sporty bike.
It’s Still Exciting to Ride! 💪: Let’s be honest, the 199.5cc water-cooled engine is great. It has that quick speed you want in city traffic, and it really goes fast on the open road. Passing other vehicles is easy, and reaching high speeds feels surprisingly smooth for a bike in this class. Plus, you can get around 35-40 kmpl, which is good for saving money on fuel.
Good at Turning? Yes! 🏍️: The strong frame and the new upside-down front forks (a good improvement!) make a big difference. This bike feels steady when you turn and easy to move through tight spots. The dual-channel ABS on the disc brakes gives you extra safety when you need to stop fast – really helpful for everyday riding.
Looks That Still Get Attention 😎: Bajaj did a great job with the sporty, open design of the NS200. The sharp lines, the exhaust under the engine, and that special headlight still look cool. The new designs for 2024 add a modern touch. It’s a bike that people definitely notice.
What It’s Like to Own: The Truth 🛠️:
- How it Feels to Ride: For the person riding, sitting straight up is pretty comfortable, even on longer trips.
- New Tech: The digital screen now often has Bluetooth and directions you can see turn-by-turn – useful for finding new places right here in Thane or other areas!
- Bajaj’s Service: Getting service and parts is usually easy because Bajaj has many service places.
What Could Be Better? 🤔:
- Passenger Problems: If you often take someone with you, be careful – the back seat is a bit hard and can become uncomfortable on long rides.
- Shaking at High Speed: If you go very fast on the open road, you might feel some shaking.
- Getting Hot in the City: Like many water-cooled bikes, it can get a bit warm when you stop and go in traffic, especially on a hot day in Thane.
So, What’s the Final Word? 👍:
The 2024 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 is still a great choice in the 200cc group. It gives you a good mix of power, how it handles, and style without costing too much. It’s not perfect, especially for the passenger’s comfort, but it’s a really fun and capable bike for going to work and weekend rides. If you want a sporty and fun bike that doesn’t cost a lot, the NS200 is worth checking out.
