The new taillight is actually something I like. It also means the bike has a streamlined look. The old design was beginning to look dated.

This will definitely be polarizing. It's going to be love it or hate it. I personally feel that it is a step backwards in uniqueness of design.

But I don’t think the taillight is a deal breaker. If the bike works, I can live with the new design. And also aftermarket mods are always a possibility.

I want to reserve judgment until I actually see it. These things sometimes look better in real life than they do in photos.

It's growing on me. I hated it at first, but the more I look at it, the more I like the cleaner lines.

The new taillight turns the bike into a generic look. The RS200 should have had something that made it stand out from the crowd.

Absolutely. Forks of USD are pretty much standard now in this segment. Bajaj should not be leaving them out.

It's not a dealbreaker, I don't think. The RS200 has always been a good performance for a good price. The cost would go up by adding USD forks.

It’s not surprising, but it’s disappointing. I think Bajaj wants to keep the cost down and distinguish it from their KTM offerings.

Most riders don't notice the difference between USD and regular forks. It’s less about performance gains and more about perception.

I found it to be a missed opportunity. USD forks would have helped the RS200 to feel more premium, and justified a higher price point.

If they tuned the suspension well, they don't need USD forks. It’s less about what type of forks it has and more about how it rides.

On paper, it definitely makes it less appealing, comparing specs with competitors. Just on this, Bajaj might lose some potential buyers.

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.
