well, from the discussion, it seems the new pulsar will be a naked street fighter rather than a fully faired track tool or full blown sports bike so the word "R" is not suitable. it is still a long way till we get an R bike from an indian manufacturer.Originally posted by Madmax_220 View Postso lets call the new pulsar kawasaki pulsar zx 200 dtsi-rComment

To add to the list..Originally posted by JASMINE RIDER View Post
What about the CBR250R?
What about the Ninja650R?
The letter "R" is being misused these days.
Well not exactly.. even Kawasaki made some improvements in the Chassis/Handling of its Naked Z750 and calls its as Z750R.Originally posted by princesirohi View Post

Sports oriented faired street bikes come with an "R"
Track focussed race bikes come with "RR"Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.Comment

+1 on that. RR is much more and We can see that Race Replica tag in bikes like the CBR 1000RR & the great CBR 250RR...which much more track focused than street focused as history says...thats the same reason why people still like the old inline 4 cylinder 250s than their modern and more street friendly incarnations.But i still think the R versions are better suited and more practical than the RR versions when it comes to indian traffic & road conditions.Originally posted by Nithesh View Post

On a serious note, I agree with what you say. Although, you have to admit the "R" tag is being stretched in some case. Come on, a Karizma "R"?Comment

Yes the R there was a marketing gimmick since the ZMA has been unchanged since the day it was first launched. Just a few minor addons made the R version there.
So yes it was a marketing gimmick.
what i was referring to was the N650R and C250R in the post you quoted(although u deleted the lines there)Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.Comment

Depends on the manufacturer.Originally posted by Nithesh View Post
>> Honda labels its track focussed bikes with "RR": CBR100RR, CBR600RR
>> Suzuki does with just one "R": GSX-R 1000, GSX-R 750, GSX-R 600
>> Kawasaki also does it with just one "R": ZX-10R, ZX6R
>> Yamaha also puts just one "R": YZF-R1, YZF-R6
Err.. I think we are going OT again.. this thread is for the Next Gen Pulsar
