De Kawasaki Rouser NS200 (in veel markten ook bekend als de Bajaj Pulsar NS200) is een product van de samenwerking tussen Bajaj en Kawasaki, die rond 2012-2013 werd geïntroduceerd als een sportieve naakte straatvechter gericht op jonge rijders op Aziatische en Latijns-Amerikaanse markten. Het werd populair omdat hij sterke prestaties bood in het 200cc-segment met een vloeistofgekoelde motor en een agressieve styling voor een toegankelijke prijs. Het model werd een maatstaf in zijn klasse wat betreft de verhouding tussen vermogen en gewicht en werd goed ontvangen in markten zoals de Filippijnen, waar het wordt gebrandmerkt als de Kawasaki Rouser NS200.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"A fun, flawed budget streetfighter worth buying at the right price."
$1,500-$2,800 usedThe 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.
