    Recovering the bike from rear wheel lock is comparatively easier than front wheel lock. Its almost not possible to recover the bike when the front tyre locks. This is just from my experience. I am not talking about the guys who deliberately drift in the corners.

    There is nothing in the world that can replace ABS.sjngle or dual ,the most important thing is it in front wheel which is mainly responsible for skidding

      Yeah agree bro. For local market\near by riding you can get mesh style gears rather than a jacket to get some aeration. But in India people will kill you by their weird looks when someone uses a riding gear on a hot summer and in hot traffic area . They even did look for fixing a mobile holder. A nearby guy in splendor spoke to his pillion "This guy thinks he is in America". Should I need to live in America to use a mobile on bike?, well I don't bother but this is what the respect we bikers get today.

      What you said is true that rear wheel locking can recover to some extend and the front wheel recovery will result in wobble and will not get back, that's why Bajaj has given importance to that. But the chances of front locking on hard braking is almost less (due to weight getting shifted toward front, locking can never happen unless traction is lost which is the best part of disc brake) on tarmac and on flat road surface.

      Check this RS ABS video. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29-l738XNqM)

      For demonstration, they try it only on wet and gravel only (fine or coarse), because that's where the front wheel locks on hard braking. Otherwise the front wheel does not lock. I have tried several times on my NS with 100% braking on front on tarmac, the bike simply tries to do stoppie and stops without locking.

      Anyway it's good to have both PEACE OF MIND

        Found this on Facebook on one of the pulsar rs200 group and it certainly looks stunner
        This is a custom paint job and is available at executive Bajaj in Mumbai as per the details in that post.

          Wow I was drooling all over it.it just looks damn crazy sexy awesome.
          Bajaj I hope you are listening.instead of amateur stickering this is the one that should have been done in the 1st place.

            No wonder it looks pretty sexy. This black can remove some of the strains(bad name) on the RS regarding the sticker-ing job and reduce the eye soaring curves. Black is really cool guys.

            To make it look like a crazy Superbike

            1. Keep this black scheme
            2. Remove that tail and make it short and sharp
            3. Add a 180 section at her back
            4. Remove the Pulsar tag and the tire hugger and the DTSi sticker too


            Sure this bike will be called as blackhawk from then on

              Ha-ha black hawk.nice one.

              BTW can anyone confirm how much does it cost.the paint just looks absolutely fab and infact better than stock quality.

                If you don't want to permanently change the color, you can go with matte black vinyls and it should cost less that 2000 bucks.

                  But this wouldn't look as awesome as the the shown above.

                    Hi guys, i rode my friend's RS yesterday and i was really impressed! It is a beautiful machine and completely worth the money. She sure is a head turner
                    However i wanted to clarify one thing about the bike with all of you guys, the rear brake is really tight and i felt as if i was pressing on the footrest itself. The bike has run close to 2k kms. Does it take time for the brake to settle in?

                      Probably it is the paint job in the pic. But if vinyl wrap done nicely can give you a similar look, look at this post http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/do-yours...ping-bike.html

                      Also if you want to go for paint job, the RC200 black color would look damn awesome on RS

                            Hello Everyone,

                            I own Pulsar RS 200 and i go on long ride regularly. Few weeks back i had shared my Ride to Satpati beach Video Here's the link https://youtu.be/IUUzo_WBZfI for those who haven't seen it.

                            I have also maximum taken my Rs 200 to 131 Kmph. I know it can go further more but it was enough for me.
                            Checkout this video in which i'm riding at 131 kmph

                            https://youtu.be/DDXVGDQpCjc



                            I would like to share my new Ride video.. Ride to Velneshwar Beach with The Throttle Twisters biker's Group...!!

                              Someone here said me not to look at Speedo when you are speeding..Damn I didn't take that seriously.. today I did that mistake and luckily able to type this. Around 12 noon I took my bike to get rc book from svc.. as it was short ride I just wore helmet, gloves and mid ankle shoe. I have completed 1700 km so thought of taking the bike to higher RPM.. In a good stretch as there was no traffic I revved the bike to 103 km/hr. I had a glimpse at speedo and back to road.. there was a old guy who took right just like crossing road in his excel super.he was less than 10 ft from me when i was at 103km/hr... I just squeezed both brakes ..rear got locked and wobbled .. but I felt nothing in the front it felt very solid and swayed away from him.. I didn't clearly know what saved me.. but I feel its ABS... Because hard breaking at 103 km/hr not gonna work in all bikes.... and BTW alloys are intact...
                              Lessons learned:
                              1. Don't speed with the confidence that you know the road..
                              2. Never look at the speedo when you are speeding atleast it cities
                              3. Recommend ABS to others
                              4. Take the advice given by fellow riders when it comes to safety...

                                ABS would have helped when the road in front of you has some sand, wet or fine gravel. Otherwise front wheel doesn't lock under hard breaking that sooner. Especially for a heavy bike like RS200, the weight shift will help front brakes work well and can prevent stoppie. But always don't expect the back wheel to recover. On wet, back wheel slip can make things worse than on dry.

                                So guess what saved you and the poor old man???.

                                God because of you and your parents prayer, ride slow and steadily bro. It's only at low speeds you can enjoy things around you and the bike. At high speed all your concentration goes against observation, road sense and control; guess what?, no enjoyment.

                                Very nice. But the 1080p looks like a low resolution less than 720p. Did you capture it on 1080p or the youtube upscaled it?. Otherwise looks good. A top mounted view would have been even better.
