Pulsar 200NS , KTM and Honda CBR

Bajaj Auto's motorcycles have always been the eye catchers in the Indian market. Since the day it has introduced the DTSi engines and its successors, Bajaj motorcycles have almost conquered the two-wheeler segment in Indian market. The two-wheeler manufacturer's latest release, Bajaj Pulsar 200NS didn't lag behind to continue revolutionising the Indian bike industry with its macho appeal, raw power and reasonable pricing.
Another bike has now joined the famed Bajaj league.
This time it's an international bike that came out of the European racetracks: the KTM Duke 200. This joint ventured bike of Bajaj Auto and Austria's KTM is arguably one of the most powerful bikes in the sub-quarter liter street fighter segment.
Honda's CBR150R, on the other hand, is one of the best gifts that a beginner bike rider can ever dream about.
Here's a take on how these three street fighters fare in the looks and performance department.









The Honda CBR 150R is certainly ideal for beginners and sports touring, but the pricing of the bike (Rs 1.17 lakh, ex-showroom Delhi) can certainly discourage many of the enthusiasts.
 If only styling is concerned, there might be a close fight between the three.
But Pulsar 200NS finally gets an edge In terms of styling and looks.
The Bajaj KTM Duke 200 is certainly more powerful than both the two bikes. The Honda CBR 150R already lags in terms of its price tag.
The Pulsar 200NS has a sub one lakh rupees price tag, while the Bajaj KTM Duke 200 has an ex-showroom price of Rs 1.18 lakh. This means that the Bajaj KTM Duke 200 is actually turning out to be the costliest of all. But many consider that the bike is worth what its price tag displays. So considering every single aspect and the close fight between the three in some considerations, we find that the Bajaj KTM Duke 200 has an edge over the two, and hence is a fun to go.
