Bajaj Pulsar 200SS at the Eurasia Moto Bike Expo 2015 — Bajaj has confirmed that the 200 SS would have a slight improvement in torque over the 200 NS, which it is based on.

At the trade show, the Pulsar 200 SS was on display alongside the the Bajaj Pulsar 150 NS and the Discover 150 F which are the premium sport and premium commuter offerings.

For India, the Pulsar 200 SS would launch in the coming months. It would be powered by the same 199.5 cc single-cylinder, triple-spark, four stroke, liquid cooled, engine that powers the Pulsar 200 NS. For features, the fully faired Pulsar would be sporting dual projector headlights, LED DRLs in the front fairing and LED taillights.

The motorcycle's engine, in Turkish specification, produces 24.4 PS power at 9,500 rpm and 18.6 Nm of torque at 8,000 rpm (official figures). This confirms that the engine for the Pulsar 200 SS is tweaked, although very slightly to give it a torque improvement (up from 18.3 Nm).
