Bajaj Auto Unveils the generation next Pulsar 200NS
World’s first motorcycle to adopt Triple Spark Engine Technology
Next generation technology offers unmatched overall performance
Mumbai, 30 January 2012: A little more than 10 years since the original Pulsar was launched, Bajaj Auto today unveiled the Next Gen Pulsar 200NS. This new Pulsar is all set to re-define Motorcycling technology and design as-much-as the original Pulsars did way back in 2001.
At the heart of the new Pulsar is its cutting-edge engine which sets new benchmarks in performance, emission and incidentally also fuel efficiency. The DTS-i (Digital Twin Spark-ignition) technology launched in 2003 marked a unique first in the history of Indian Motoring. The new Pulsar takes this technology altogether to another level with a SOHC 4-valve Triple Spark engine controlled by an advanced Electronic Control Unit for an absolutely unmatched performance. To support this exhilarating heart-pumping performance the bike comes with liquid cooling and a six speed gear box.
The Pulsar 200NS chassis comprises a pressed steel perimeter frame and a Rectangular tube section swing arm delivering over three times the lateral stiffness of a P220 frame. These deliver outstanding high speed handling and cornering stability. The centrally located muffler and the unique gas filled Nitrox mono suspension further improve the ride and handling of the bike due to low & centralized CG position.
The Pulsar design character has evolved with the performance & dynamics. It’s become stronger, more aggressive with a street fighter stance. The look just begs you to ride it. Once astride, the sporty speedo console, triple-tree clip-ons, the signature clips and the illuminated switches evoke the design, fit and finish so far exclusively reserved for much more expensive super sports bikes. The new 200cc Pulsar is probably the most stunning sports bike in its class oozing raw muscular appeal.
Commenting on the launch, Mr. K. Srinivas, President-Motorcycles, Bajaj Auto
said: "Pulsar has now celebrated a ‘Decade of Dominance’ with 10 years of leadership in the Indian performance motorcycle market. These sporty iconic motorcycles have been a testimony to the company’s engineering prowess. The Pulsar 200 NS showcases next leap in technology and design and will set the standard for others to follow.
We believe that 2012-13 will be an exciting period where Bajaj Auto will excite customers both here and abroad," Mr. Srinivas added.
The Pulsar 200NS will be commercially launched beginning next Fiscal.

This is how a 5'11'' guy look on the bike
Note: The bike is definitely tall. Not sure why this picture came out like this but my feets were touching in a better way than what came out here
Without him this coverage was not possible. He was on this toes during the whole duration of the launch. Thanks inflammable(Alok Das) for all the support

In the below images red one is the P220 and blue one is the new P200 NS
Blue one will be better around corners
This image shows how the blue one is more stable than the red one on a bad stretch of road
Hands off stability - The blue one keeps its line
