I disagree; it is a fine entry level sport bike. It has legit sporty handling with the full fairing and clipons. It's not a track weapon by any means, but it can help teach new riders good cornering skills.

It's all about expectations. It's reasonably comfortable for a 125cc sport bike. If you are accustomed to the larger touring bikes, you will certainly feel being constrained.

I like it for light touring. You can add a tank bag and perhaps a small tail bag and you are good to go for the weekend trips. Don't expect Gold Wing comfort, however.

The small fuel tank is the biggest issue for touring. On longer rides you'll find yourself stopping quite a bit for gas, which can get a little pesky.

It can be made much more touring friendly with a few mods, such as a gel seat cover and adjustable levers. This is a decent basis to work upon.

I’ve toured on mine and it was fine. Plus it’s not ideal by any stretch but if that is your only bike you can definitely make it work for longer rides with some planning.

For me, the vibrations are the deal breaker on long rides. After a few hours my hands begin to go numb. Commuting is fine, touring is not great.

There is less comfort for a sport handling bike, but more than a dedicated touring bike. It’s a great alternative for occasional ride longer than 15 kilometers for most riders.

It's definitely playing catch up. Similar features are nothing new for other bikes in this segment.

It’s a big step up for RS200, I think. It's what brings the bike into the modern age and adds some really useful features for daily riders.

I like the new console, but I am afraid it will just be another thing to break. On a bike, sometimes simpler is better.

It's a good addition, but I wouldn’t say it’s groundbreaking. These days it is becoming standard equipment on most bikes.

The turn by turn navigation is something I’m excited about. This is something I’ve been wanting on my bike for ages.

It’s an improvement, but I hope it doesn’t raise the price too high. One of the RS200's selling points has always been its affordability.

It's cool with the Bluetooth features, but how many people will actually use them regularly? Perhaps it’s more of a gimmick than a real useful feature.
Will the 2025 RS200 updates be enough to be able to compete with newer rivals such as the Yamaha R15 V4?
10 January 2025 08:08
Not a chance. With a VVA engine and build quality in a different league, the R15 V4 is in a different league. Bajaj had to do a lot more to compete.

10 January 2025 08:08
I believe there is still a place for the RS200 in the market. It will have more power than the R15 and come at a more competitive price.

10 January 2025 08:08
The updates are decent, but Bajaj didn’t really shake things up. To compete with the latest rivals they should have aimed higher.
Will the 2025 RS200 updates be enough to be able to compete with newer rivals such as the Yamaha R15 V4?
10 January 2025 08:08
But for many buyers Bajaj brand loyalty and service network will continue to make the RS200 an attractive proposition, even if the numbers don't add up on paper.

That's always been the RS200, a full faired experience at a lower price point. It’ll find buyers as long as it keeps that value proposition.

We are not competing with the R15 only. The Suzuki Gixxer SF and even Bajaj's own Dominar 250 are the bikes the RS200 now needs to worry about.
