Kawasaki Rouser As 200

Le Kawasaki Rouser NS200 (également connu sous le nom de Bajaj Pulsar NS200 sur de nombreux marchés) est un produit du partenariat Bajaj-Kawasaki, lancé vers 2012-2013 en tant que streetfighter nu sportif destiné aux jeunes pilotes sur les marchés asiatique et latino-américain. Il a gagné en popularité grâce à ses excellentes performances dans le segment des 200 cm3 avec un moteur à refroidissement liquide et un style agressif à un prix abordable. Le modèle est devenu une référence dans sa catégorie en termes de rapport poids/puissance et a été bien accueilli sur des marchés tels que les Philippines, où il est commercialisé sous le nom de Kawasaki Rouser NS200.

Proven Reliable Engine

⚠️

Watch the Fuel System

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion

6.8/10
Idéal pour
Urban commuters wanting sporty style on a budget

"A fun, flawed budget streetfighter worth buying at the right price."

$1,500-$2,800 used

The Rouser AS200 is one of those bikes that punches above its weight class on paper but reveals its compromises quickly in real-world use. The 199.5cc single-cylinder motor pulls cleanly from low revs and the clip-on handlebar setup genuinely changes how you feel on a budget streetfighter — it's engaging in a way that most 200cc commuters simply aren't. For the money, especially used, that's genuinely impressive. Kawasaki badge helps too, even if Bajaj builds the mechanical bits. That said, go in with realistic expectations. Vibration above 7,000 rpm gets old fast on longer runs, and the suspension is tuned firmly enough to remind you of every pothole. When buying used, check the chain religiously — owners frequently neglect it — and inspect the instrument cluster for moisture ingress. Parts availability varies heavily by region, so confirm your local supply chain before committing. Service history matters more here than on Japanese-built bikes.
