"We have launched Pulsar RS 200 in the super-sport segment to offer an unprecedented level of design, engineering and performance.

"The non-ABS version is priced at Rs 1,18,500 and ABS version at Rs 130,268 ex-showroom Maharashtra. This is the first bike having Rs 1,00,000 plus price tag from the company," Bajaj Auto Motorcycle President Eric Vas told reporters here.

Bajaj first brought the Pulsar to the Indian market in 2001. Today Pulsar sells more than 55,000 units every month in the domestic sports motorcycle market with a leadership market share of 43 per cent making it India's no.1 sports bike for 14 years in a row.

The super sports segment today stands at less than one per cent of the motorcycle market and this bike is all set to re-define and expand this segment, Vas said.
