Eric Vas, President - Motorcycle Business, Bajaj Auto, said that over 50 per cent of the bike's customers have opted for the ABS variant. The RS200 is based on the Pulsar 200NS, though it shares its design with the SS400 concept, which was showcased at the 2014 Delhi Auto Expo. It is powered by the same 199.5cc engine that does duty on the NS200, though the company has tuned it for more power on the RS200. This 4-valve, triple spark, DTSi engine churns out 24.16bhp and 18.6Nm. The engine helps the bike attain a top-speed of 141Km/h.
