Would this 200NS or the expected fairing version be the flagship bajaj bike OR will they be launching a 210 or 240 cc version 6-9 months down the line ?
Here's a comparision between KTM vs Bajaj (Source:
http://overdrive.in/details/947/Bajaj-Pulsar-200NS---first-impression).
I'd personally choose KTM anyday versus a Pulsar even if that meant paying 30 K extra. For the extra money you are getting a DOHC, FI, Steel trellis frame, more BHP/Torque, better brakes, better suspension, better power to weight ratio. In real world, Duke would fly past pulsar due to it's lightweight and slightly more power. And it's a niche bike... I am certain, within months there would be 100's of red Pulsars but there won't be many KTM's
