The frame is the same pressed steel job as the Pulsar 200NS but the steering is one degree sharper (and hence the wheelbase comes down by 5mm)  and it wears a bunch of metal stays needed to mount the fairing now. In the process of this and the plastics of the complex looking fairing itself, the weight has gone up by a substantial 12kg, 6kg of this comes from the mounts and plastics alone while 2.5kg comes from the ABS unit and bigger magneto for the twin projector lamps. The new bodywork et al also move the centre of gravity a smidgen forward which Bajaj says gives a more secure feel at the front. You don’t feel it but the engine most certainly has to work harder to produce performance. The engine itself has a new head to accommodate the fuel injection system which uses 4mm bigger throttle bodies than the carbs on the NS. The FI system is identical to the 200 Duke but has software tuned specifically for the RS 200. The new tune gives the bike 1PS more and Bajaj are using the extra power to good effect by lowering the gearing (2 teeth added at the back) for greater mid-range performance and still managing to see a higher top speed.

What’s the performance like?

Bajaj Pulsar 400 NS The Bajaj Pulsar 400 SS (or Super Sports) is the final variant of the bike which was rumored to have been named the Pulsar 375. It is a fully faired version of the Pulsar CS (we will talk about that a bit later) and borrows the engine from the KTM 390 Duke. Though Bajaj has not revealed much about the bike, here are some pointers about the Pulsar 400 SS: It features twin projector lamps at front along with twin pilot lamps The front fairing is highly stylised, some may like it some may say it’s overdone. The design while viewed from the side is an evolution of the Pulsar 200 NS, with the large tanks, stepped seats and sharp tail-section. The Pulsar 400 SS gets a stubby exhaust, unlike the underbelly exhaust on the 200 NS Like most of the other features on the bike, the tail-lamps are a like-it or hate-it design. They are not placed on the body of the bike, rather they are placed on the extension which houses the number-plate. Some of the features menti...
