Bajaj Pulsar 250 vs RS200
The Pulsar RS200 is on the left as seen in the image above. It clearly looks bolder of the two. It features LED DRLs surrounding the main projector headlamps along with a muscular fairing. The covering around the wheel and engine also looks more comprehensive. The handle bars are positioned to make it look more sporty. The Pulsar 250, on the other hand, looks relatively basic in design. However, it is almost as sleek as the RS200 if not sleeker. It is just not as sculpted as the RS200 but retains the overall silhouette. The leg guards on either side make it look distinct in comparison to the RS200. The fairing and shoulder area is not as thoroughly filled as in RS200. All in all, both, the Bajaj Pulsar 250 and RS200 stay true to their DNA in terms of stylish simultaneously offering practicality to the riders.
