Yes, for 200NS, the max torque is at 8000 RPM (if you want to extract them all). Rev limit is at 10.5 K RPM, but peak power comes at ~9500 RPM, post that one can't really observe the thrust. If you take a look at 200NS dyno results, you will witness that a good amount of 16-17nm of torque gets generated from engine from 5000 RPM onwards, In case of P220, it extracts ~18nm of torque for the same said 5000 RPM and above(up to 7000 RPM), so basically this will be a bit helpful when a pillion sits. But the P220 is already heavier by 10Kgs close, so with ~<1Nm of torque bonus, there will only be very minimal diff, which is hardly felt here.
But the actual problem is 220 doesn't like to rev harder, it looses it's breath beyond 7000 RPM, where as 200NS with health goes upto 9500 RPM and maxes at 10.5 K RPM (rev limit). So the reason it is quicker still having 20cc less is because the power from the generated torque is used efficiently. Usually torque generated from engine is just about how effectively you convert to working horses. 200NS and above model does it excellently (by stealing from KTM technology
) and hence 0-100 and above is damn quicker. And of course you have weight and power ratio. Official numbers for 0-100 (FYI)200NS - 9.8 sec
D200- 9.2 sec
CBR250 - 8.6 sec
CBR250 is quicker and faster besides being 30+ Kgs heavier is because it too generates Max torque very quickly at around 7K RPM and peak power at about 8.5K RPM. Also CBR250 has a healthy torque of 4-5 NM more than Duke or 200NS. So pillion riding will not be painful as in our bikes.
D200, besides having torque or power generated lately, Max torque@8000 rpm and power@10000 rpm, still stands ahead is because of it's short gearing.
Now, if you only add more weight, it adds more time to this score.
So now the answer here is, if you shift at it's max torque point, you can actually extract the right amount of juice. There is no point in redlining(Rev max), as this is only the upper limit for the engine safety, not for rider.


, YOU ARE TELLING ME MY NS PUT UP SOME WEIGHT?. This Bajaj replied that it has made some improvements on last recent batches of 200NS, but actually media says it's a Bajaj's usual numbering tricks to make RS don't look too bulky or heavy...!!!
