As we know that Bajaj Auto and KTM are developing an engine with the capacity of above 350cc, one can hope that the next Pulsar will incorporate bigger engine and with every passing year the engine capacity will be increased.  It is also interesting to see how Pulsar 200NS will be received in the export market. Pulsar 135 LS is a big hit in the export market and it is very well received in Asia’s most competitive and technology advanced market Indonesia.  The same is expected with Pulsar 200NS.

What is common to the Duke 200 and the Pulsar 200 NS?

Think of the 200cc engine as a platform for clarity. Bajaj say the gearbox and the crankshaft are virtually identical but from there on the two engines take different paths. It's sort of like how the Volkswagen group uses the same engine across brands. But instead of the same engine in both the Duke and the Pulsar, the top of the engine is different. It's a big difference, one that clearly defines the different roles that the two motorcycles are supposed to take on.
