Pulsar 200 NS

2012 Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Bajaj's allround motorcycle platform, the 2012 Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS features a 199.5 cc (12.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 23.5 HP (17.2 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 18.3 Nm (13.5 lb-ft) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 117.8 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (8,000 rpm) and peak power (9,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the Pulsar 200 NS measures 145 kg (320 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.16 HP/kg (6.17 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 805 mm (31.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,363 mm (53.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.33 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 360 km (224 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 136 km/h (85 mph).
