The Bajaj Dominar 200 and Bajaj Pulsar RS200 are two bikes that are popular in the Indian market. Both bikes offer great performance, but each has its own distinct advantages. To compare the two, we need to look at their specs, features, and prices. The Bajaj Dominar 200 comes with a 199.5cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that produces 18.5 hp and 17.5 Nm of torque. It comes with a 5-speed manual transmission and a top speed of 132 kmph. The bike also has a fuel tank capacity of 13 litres and a kerb weight of 155 kg. The Bajaj Pulsar RS200, on the other hand, comes with a 199.5 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that produces 24.13 hp and 18.5 Nm of torque. It comes with a 6-speed manual transmission and a top speed of 140 kmph. The bike also has a fuel tank capacity of 12 litres and a kerb weight of 164 kg. When it comes to features, the Bajaj Dominar 200 comes with an LED headlamp, a digital instrument cluster, and a dual-channel ABS. The Bajaj Pulsar RS200, on the other hand, comes with split seats, a semi-digital instrument cluster, and a single-channel ABS.

The Bajaj Pulsar RS200 is powered by a 199.5 cc, 1-cylinder, liquid cooled and fuel injected engine producing 24.2 BHP @ 9,750 rpm and 18.6 Nm @ 8,000 rpm. It comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox and uses the same underpinnings as the Bajaj Pulsar 200NS. The bike is heavier at 165 kg and still manages a 0-100 kmph sprint time of 9.92 seconds. The engine has been borrowed from 200 cc KTM twins and Bajaj uses its DTS-i as well as the triple spark technology into it. RS200 claims a price tag of INR 1,20,500 for the non ABS and INR 1,32,500 for the ABS version.

Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 returns around 30-32 kmpl when riding in city. Stop-go traffic can further reduce the mileage figure and idling seriously effect the overall kilometers per liter. Switching off the bike at traffic lights can save some fuel and thereby riding in the most possible higher gear without knocking can again serve the purpose in a better way. RS200 uses a 199.5 cc engine from KTM 200 series, producing 24.2 BHP and 18.6 Nm of torque. It can cruise all day above 100 kmph without any hassle.

Yes, the ABS model of the Bajaj Pulsar RS200 is available in Nepal. It is priced around Rs 4,00,000. If you're interested in buying the RS200, you can locate your nearest Bajaj dealership here.

Bajaj is currently offering Pulsar NS200 by the name of Rouser 200NS while it can offer the RS200 and RS400 in the near future. The bikes are excellent examples of affordable engineering as they use one of the best technologies for producing more power than average 200 and 400 cc engines. You can expect Bajaj to deliver RS200 by the end of this year while RS400 is still under it's testing phase.

The Pulsar RS200 returns a mileage of around 35 kmpl in real life driving conditions. It can touch 40 kmpl but the same needs highway driving all of the time. It comes with a 199.5 cc, single cylinder engine with triple spark technology. The motorcycle produces 24.2 Bhp @ 9750 rpm and 18.6 Nm @ 8,000 rpm. It comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox and for attaining the maximum fuel efficiency, it should be driven in the sixth gear at a speed of nearly 55-60 kmph.

RS200 runs on normal fuel and you can use the normally sold unleaded petrol with 91 RON for the riding purpose. The higher octane fuels are mostly used in higher capacity bikes and using them in RS200 would cause no harm and even bring no such performance enhancement. The RS200 performs extremely well for its size and brings out 24.2 BHP and 18.6 NM of torque from its 199.5cc, liquid cooled and fuel injected engine.

Bajaj Pulsar RS200 can be bought from your nearest Bajaj dealership but you can check your city on the Bajaj Pulsar RS200 official page before making it to the dealership. If available nearby, you can book the bike with a small amount whereas you can be lucky to have the bike on the same day if some specific shade is available with them. Bajaj offers the RS200 in Red, Yellow and Demon Black shade. The bike comes with a price tag of INR 1,20,000 for the non ABS variant whereas the ABS variant comes for INR 1,32,000. The prices are ex-showroom Delhi. It gets the same 199.5cc engine as KTM RC200, making it good for 24.2 BHP and 18.6 NM of torque.

The KTM RC 200 is a performance oriented machine producing 24.65 BHP and 19.2 NM of torque. The gearbox is a 6-speed claw unit and the bike weighs 154 kg. It comes with USD front telescopic forks and a very aggressive seating position. On the other hand, the Pulsar RS 200 comes with the same engine producing 24.2 BHP and 18.6 NM of torque. The gearbox here is also a 6-speed unit and the bike weighs 165 kg. The 11 kg difference and the use of more performance oriented parts make the KTM RC 200 an expensive option at INR 1.69 lakh whereas the RS200 comes with a relatively relaxed price tag of INR 1,32,000 for the ABS version. For regular riding, RS 200 is best whereas if you wish to ride on a track and love high performance, the RC 200 is the best option.

The best bike out of both is definitely the Bajaj Pulsar RS200. The bike comes loaded with set of exciting features and power packed performance. The 199.5 cc engine on the Pulsar is good for a max of 24.2 BHP @ 9750 rpm and 18.6 NM @ 8,000 rpm. The 6-speed gearbox on the motorcycle is an excellent unit and the bike is good for a top speed of 140.8 kmph. It returns a mileage of 35 kmpl and comes with dual front projector headlamps for a better night ride quality. The Pulsar gets a different looking rear LED light and even gets ABS as an option. The non ABS version costs INR 1,20,000 whereas the ABS version comes for INR 1,32,000. It is available in Yellow, Red and Demon Black edition.

It is possible for you to ride the Bajaj Pulsar RS200 but the problems would be faced while riding in high traffic roads and rough conditions. The bike comes with a seat height of 820 mm and putting your feet everytime you brake will be a difficult task. Even if you put the same easily, the weight of 165 kg would put a lot of pressure on your legs and riding it where you need to continuously brake and accelerate(traffic lights and markets) will be a bit risky too. You should avoid buying the RS200 and should wait for the new Pulsar CS200. The bike would come with the same engine and specifications and its cruiser feel would make you easy on every ride at every type of road.   Know about CS200 here – https://autos.maxabout.com/bikes/bajaj/pulsar-cs/pulsar-cs200
