The all-new Bajaj Pulsar NS 160 is close to its launch and from the looks of it, the NS 160 is all set to carry forward the legacy of the Pulsar moniker. The NS 160 shares in plenty with the NS 200, another modern Pulsar that is far more competent than the likes of Pulsar 220. So, basically, the new Pulsar NS 160 is nothing but a less powerful NS 200, or is it? Let’s find out about all that separates these two bikes in our Bajaj Pulsar NS 160 vs Pulsar NS 200 comparison here-

Quite obviously, the NS 160 will be cheaper than the NS 200. The 200cc Pulsar costs ₹ 96,453 (ex-showroom, New Delhi). In comparison, the NS 160 should have a sticker price of roughly ₹ 80,000.
