  • I have rs 200 as well as a gixxer! Gixxer is all show no go! But if you want performance as well as comfort rs go with rs 200 i also have a r15 v3 consider that too!!
  • Rs 200 Is Best
Q. RS200 BS4 or RS200 BS6 which one is best?
  • The difference between the BS4 and BS6 versions is despite the BS6 update, powering the Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 is a 199.5cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled motor derived from the KTM 200 range. The BS6 fuel-injected motor on the RS makes 24.5PS and 18.7Nm, 0.1Nm more than its BS4 counterpart. The 6-speed transmission has been left untouched. The Pulsar RS 200 features a perimeter frame, a chunky telescopic fork and a gas-charged monoshock. Anchoring the bike is a single 300mm disc up front and a 230mm disc at the rear with dual-channel ABS. The earlier BS4 model came with a single-channel setup.
Q. Which one is better Apache 160 or apace 180?
  • TVS has dealt with the Apache RTR 160 performance issue and has now made the bike near-perfect, well, except of course those raised eye-brow-like DRLs, which we think are a polarizing aspect of the design. Factor in the kind of equipment and features on offer, and it becomes a no-brainer if you’ve got performance on your mind. On the other hand, TVS Apache RTR 180 is a fun-to-ride motorcycle with quick handling dynamics and a range of safety features. The razor-sharp handling makes it a hoot to ride and it is a value-for-money vehicle. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision.
