The second of the teasers from Modenas’ 2017 range has been teased, and this time we get a look at the lower half of a full-fairing sportsbike. Quite possibly based on the Pulsar RS200 from Bajaj, this would mean the second of Modenas’ new models will be a racer-styled sportsbike, something of a new market for the Malaysian motorcycle manufacturer.
From the specification sheet, the Pulsar RS200 carries a single-cylinder, three-spark plug, liquid-cooled power plant that puts out 24.5 PS at 9,750 rpm, and 18.6 Nm of torque at 8,000 rpm. Fed by fuel injection, the RS200 puts out one horsepower more than its naked sports NS200 sibling.
Rolling on 17-inch wheels, as per the Pulsar NS200, the RS200 gets a 300 mm single brake disc in front, and a 230 mm unit at the back, and single-channel ABS is fitted, making it a first in Malaysia at this price point for a full-sized motorcycle. Fuel is carried in a 13-litre tank, and a standard telescopic fork holds up the front end, while a Nitrox monoshock props up the rear.
Twin projector lights light the way forward, while LED tail lights are fitted in the tailpiece. Weight for the Pulsar RS200 is claimed to be 165 kg, which is about right for this quarter-litre sportsbike.
There are two colour choices in India for the Pulsar RS200 – Graphite Black and Racing Blue. In New Delhi, India, the 2017 Pulsar RS200 retails at 133,883 Indian rupees (RM9,021).

3 spark plugs ??
Yes..this is triple spark plugs to one piston, most term that we heard is twin spark (two spark plugs).
Yep bajaj has this crap
A big headache in india but they swallow it anyway
Quarter liter is 250cc. Not 200cc (which translates as 1/5)
First looks like the NS200..then 2nd was what looks like the RS200.What will the 3rd be?AS200 perhaps.
Rebadge as Krissatria Bajaj Hitam
wow, ABS is welcomed addition. GJ modenas!
just came back from Nepal a few days ago, been there for a week traveling to lower mustang, annapurna foot hill town by Bajaj Pulsar 220f, a older model of what coming to be rebadge by Modenas. Cloaked around 800+km by that bike which 200km is totally on off road terrain. Must say that the bike is really great in term of reliability. Most of those mountain people using that bike for their offroad road. Must say that nepal and india prefer this type of bike, they dont have kapchai, but this particular brand, Bajaj Pulsar is like EX5 of south asian.
Bajaj ct100. Cheapest bike and affordable in india. Indians prefer cg 100 than kapcai.
Cause honda cg is ancient technology
2 Pushrod valve, and still using carb
For india maybe but not here anymore
Even 2 stroke are dead and every marque start using fuel injection and latest tech
You can live in the 70s if you want but don’t come back complaint you got lung cancer from it
