BAJAJ PULSAR DTS-i 200 Review
The best features of this version from bajaj are as under 1)Looks: The looks are Charismatic and no doubt its the smartest bike on Indian roads. It is really looking great in syle and looks 2) Superb power. It gives great pickup even at higher speeds (80 kmph and above). You can never feel the sound that comes when you slow your bike in higher gears and suddenly tops the speed. Company claims the top speed as 130 kmph with 67 kg rider. Though you can achieve a high speed of 118 kmph only. May be sometimes later you will get the chance to touch 125 kmph or more mark. 3) Advanced features like digital speedometer, oil cooled engine, tubeless tyres etc. makes you feel that you are the king on the roads. The big rear tyres gives you some extra grip on the road. 4) Balance: The presence of tube less tyres gives you trouble free opration on potty holes. The bike is very balanced and recalls the movement of Bullet bikes. But at speeds more than 85-90 kmph, it start with light vibrations but overall stability remains good. At higher speeds (80 and more), the sound it creates at top speeds reminds you of good sports bikes. 5) Pulsor 200 comes with ignition start only in line with racing bikes. Infact one could never expect a racing bike to start with a kick. The disadvantages with this bike are: Cost: Power charges money so is the bike. It cost you around 76.5K on roads. if you compare with its peers like Karizma and Pulsor220, its a lot cheaper. 2)- Fuel Efficiency: This bike is strictly not for people who look for a good mileage.you may get a mileage of 37-38 kmpl in heavy traffic conditions. you can expect the bike to even perform better in smaller cities with mannered driving habit and could give you around 40-45 kmpl but you cant expect more than this from a 200 cc bike. 3)- Comfort: Here is an alert for people who travels too much on bike or have to be on bike for longer durations. This bike is absolutely for racing experience and not designed to provide comfort. So if you want comfort, you should be looking towards other bikes like Honda Unicorn or Splendor. Again it is not designed in a manner that two persons can sit comfortably. Sitting to rear is a risk as the seat is high and lacks support for holding. 4)- P200 dosen&rsquot come with a kickstart option. For some it may be a thing to consider. But as per my sons experience, the kick start is not at all required. 5)- Though tyres give nice grip in dry conditions, they are not very efficient in wet surfaces. So there is a word of caution for riders when they go on a wet surface at high speeds.
