    Yes bro. I know. Just wanted to share what I read about the ergonomics. I felt the whole article to be crap. They say this has more sensors than a moto gp bike. Guess they don't have any idea of what sbk are. :banghead:

      Comfort is similar to NS...not much difference.

      In my opinion, hard suspension and seats bigger than RC.

          Stoppie doesnt get affected whether u have abs or not on ur bike.

          People do nice and long stoppies on superbikes having double dics with abs....

            Bro dont worry, nothing beats a ktm, rs wont gove the power rc will. When rc launched i also felt like this but as i am a fan of faired bikes.

              I had a small test ride of this bike. And I can safely say KTM RC200 > Pulsar RS200

                Went to local dealership to check out the bike. No test rides available as usual.

                1. Pulsar RS200 definitely gives a big bike feel. Hard to believe that the meaty body just has a 199.5 cc engine inside.
                2. Front and rear tyre is 100/80-17 & 130/70-17 in size respectively. The thinner tyre profile to control the final pricing probably. KTM Duke/RC like tyre profile would have complemented the look and ride quality.

                3. Pillion grabs the grip line provided under the rear cowl. Nice.

                4. Bike is bombarded with unwanted stickers and graphics. There is one even on the tank. If I bought this bike, I would have rip away all the stickers. They just shadow the bike looks.

                5. Coolent container is inside the right side of the fairing. Not too easy to access IMO.

                6. Fit and finish is impressive. No loose panels, mirrors or unwanted gaps (except the side area, where rider and pillion seat lines meet)

                  Bike seems to be relatively shorter compared to the blue Pulsar 200NS. Can you pls confirm this, or is it a photographic illusion.

                    I have never tried stoppies on superbikes, so i dont know, may be they do it by switching off the ABS.

                    The reason i said that stoppies will b difficult, was that it was mentioned on Bosch website that rear wheel sensor is to prevent the rear wheel lift off under braking.

                    Definitely, and that is why RC is costly.

                      there is one more thing i want to understand. this pulsar RS200 makes max. power at 9750 RPM, but the engine redlines at 9500 RPM. so are we supposed to extract that extra bhp from engine by frequently redlining the engine or not, is bajaj saying that you can redline this bike as much as you want, in that case this bike does not need a redline. i am confused.

                      btw, does it look better in black -->

                        so about the single channel abs with a second sensor on the rear wheel (to prevent rear wheel lift off during braking)..
                        Does this mean that in case of panic breaking the front wont lock but the rear does and the bike fishtails?.. (if thats the case then what good is the ABS here??)..

                              No. Of channels define the discrete controlling mechanisms available to stop the wheels without locking. On ABS equipped vehicle, there are two things to consider; sensors & control channels. If this pulsar is having single channel ABS it means that both the wheels are controlled by single channel.

                              Example, Using sensors ABS has decided that it would take x+y units of force to stop front wheel w/o locking and x for rear wheel. Had there been 2 channels ABS would used those forces independently on the 2 wheels. Since there is only 1 channel, ABS sends out only x amount of force to both the wheels. If ABS sends x+y to both the wheels rear would lock and fishtale. Either way the stopping distance increases if #channels are not equal to #wheels.

                              Single channel works best if weight on both wheels is equal. Driver can adjust his sitting position to arrive at equal weight distribution position.

                                Don't flame me, I'm just curious to know more..
                                The extra premium they charge is for this weight reduction, the exquisite swingarm, the usds et al.
                                This same question was raised when ns was launched post 200.
                                Ktms real deal is power to weight ratio. That makes the bike go bonkers. Weight reduction is very big deal. Check prateeks ninja san thread, thats what he is doing.
