Hi xBhpains,
I have owned this bike for more than year and a half and clocked above 17k kilometers. So, I felt this is the right time to give out an ownership review about the bike.
So, let me just rewind back to 2017 October, on how I booked Pulsar NS 200. So, I had saved some money, around 30k, and I was looking forward to getting a new bike for my daily commute. So I started to investigate bike reviews and read ownership threads on xBhp and various other sites.
After a lot of market research and speaking with my friends, I narrowed down to scooters as they were mainly used for commuting in India. So one day I met a friend of a friend and we were having a chat regarding bikes and cars. So I asked him for opinion on the scooters that I had narrowed down to buy (i.e. Aprilia SR150, Access 125 and Vespa 125). He asked me about my interest in touring and I had replied to him that I am pretty much interested but I don’t have the budget to get bike like RE, Duke, RS200 or D400. So, my friend convinced me by saying its an investment and I could use the bike for both commute and travel. He gave me few options like the new launch of Yamaha FZ-25, TVS Apache RTR 200, Gixxer or SF and NS200.
Since I was convinced by my friend, I had investigated these bikes and rates were around 1 lac to 1.3 lacs. So, I started with the Suzuki Gixxer. The bike was smooth, nimble and more of a comfy vehicle. It has good refinement and at higher rpm, the bike had lost its power. The FZ-25 felt so much refined, grunty engine and the seating was comfy. It's the same with the RTR 200 but was lacking on top end. RTR 200’s vibrations were very high and at last I test rode the new NS 200 BS IV variant it was like not as good as compared to the FZ-25 in the terms of comfort and exhaust note, but once you hit he top end the engine was ready even powerful and the exhaust note was of next level.
So I went ahead and booked the NS 200 because it was more powerful (there is no replacement for displacement with fZ-25). The interest rate was lower compared to other financiers. The bike was VFM on the market with Duke 200’s engine and the logo Bajaj which literally means the brand’s durability, pretty pocket friendly rate and running cost is low.
After booking we had some procedures and since the bike was financed the process and delivery took a little bit longer. I had to sign and I felt very proud owning my first bike. So, I paid the amount, 53000/-, as down payment and had a loan tenure for 12 months and the EMI was like 6067/- per month and got a cash back of one-month EMI on the sixth month during the tenure.
