        I bought the Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 in January 2025. It has been my favorite bike since 2019, and I finally fulfilled my dream of owning it. The bike is excellent in terms of looks, performance, and overall features. Thank you, Bajaj, for this amazing machine.

        Nice and comfortable. I like this bike because it's a 200cc bike with a top speed of over 180 km/h. That's the reason I love the RS200 in the 200cc segment. It’s from Bajaj.
