              AFAIK Yes, this can be done one of my friend bought a new RE and he changed to alloy and PSD tyre.. At the showroom itself not sure about the cost though.

                i enquire about that in showroom they do change the rim with an alloy one,,, but the tyre was still the conventional tube tyre,,,, it is the case here in varanasi at lest,,,

                and that alloy step up front and rear costs 12k man,,,

                    When the tyre is up sized the contact area of the tyre to the road gets increased, i.e. more friction. Which in turn put more stress on the engine resulting in decrease in pickup (which already is less in compared to pulsar 200 ns due to the extra weight) and increase in fuel consumption and if the bike is warranty, you may loose the warranty(not sure, heard somewhere)

                          Well 130 is a good size, if you can work with 130 section tyre get mrf revz s (r15 v2.0 rear tyre) it's an excellent tyre, grip is good, it's radial, life is max 15,000 kms, price is 2650 to 3000(don't pay a penny beyond that) and if you want to upsize then I don't have any suggestions hope someone else will reply, try in ns/as/rs 200 section
                          Peace

                            And I think the maximum size you can get without any modifications is 140, you can try FZ's tyre the models are REVZ(1st Gen fz) and REVZ Y(2nd gen fz) available in both 140 and 150 section. But keep in mind that rs 200 comes with 130/70/17 and these tyres of fz are in 140/60/17 see that change in 70 to 60 that's the decrease in side profile, which would result in under gearing and what not(i don't know the exact consequences but it does something and in a negative way) but if you will get REVZ S(r15 v2) it's in 130/70/17 so no difference in side profile.
