In treat for the biking enthusiasts, after the newly launched powerful Dominar 400, Bajaj has recently confirmed the launch of 2017 Pulsar NS200 in India. The Pune-based automaker has posted a teaser of the bike on social media that says it is coming soon.
The reports suggests that as per the speculations, the new model could be launched within a few days and we believe that it will not just be a cosmetic update. Launched in 2012 as the Pulsar 200NS, it was the flagship model of the company that time and was based an all-new platform.
In 2015, reports emerged that the production of the Pulsar 200NS was being suspended to fulfil the demand of the new Adventure Sport (AS) models. Although never announced officially, the bike was silently discontinued from the market by 2016. Now, the company has decided to reintroduce the bike with some added features.

The 2017 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 has already been showcased at a recent dealers’ meet of the company in Turkey. There are no cosmetic changes in the model except a revised paint job, providing it with a new look. The platform also remains unchanged and the bike retains the same 199.5cc, liquid-cooled motor that was used in its predecessor. However, the 2017 version of the engine will get some updates to meet the BS-IV emission standards along with a fuel injection system for better performance.
The new Pulsar NS200 is expected to have performance figures similar to its full-faired sibling, the RS200, which means the maximum power and torque figures could be 24.5PS and 18.6Nm respectively.
