Bajaj Pulsar AS200

Bike is just amazing.
The cons are :
1.Vibration of fairing.
2.It is not a adventure bike in real because it's not good for off-roads as suspension is on the stiffer side.
3.Availabilty of parts. Parts are not available easily in service centers and also in local market.
Pros are
1.Bike is super catchy because of its aggressive looks and heavy body everyone looks cool on this bike.
2.Engine is so powerful in 200cc segment.
3.Overall bike is awesome.

The pulsar as 200 was identical to the pulsar 200 ns in all other ways but bajaj discontinued the latter for obvious reasons. The pulsar ns200 is now back which means the as 200 has to go. The pulsar as 150 has been discontinued too and we suspect that's because the 150 ns too will be axed as bajaj has made the 160 ns.

About the Reviewer

I purchased this motorcycle for adventure tour to hill area and weekend tour. It was good to 3000 km but after that it started to vibrate a lot with some awkward noise, after 6000 km or 1.5 year it's condition became pathetic. Spare parts of this bike are also not available in most of the showroom or service station. One has to order the parts online but delivery charges on that is too high i.E i had ordered 4 screw and washer of rs. 41 for which i had to pay 300 extra for delivery charges making it to total rs 341. We had 6-7 bajaj bikes but all the bike owners of my family shifted to other brand except me though my bike is 3 yrs old. I will also shift to another good brand by saying good bye to bajaj for ever.

I have purchased it by accident. I have never even properly test driven it. Initial 2000 km was nice but gradually its vibration and poor front suspension made the ride miserable. It is a very good looking bike with decent brakes and power of 23 bhp. Bike makes a lot of vibration in 3k-5k. Handle vibration with poor suspension make the ride deplorable in off road and normal Indian roads. I have serviced almost at 4 different service centers, but the result was same. Not a single one have provided decent service and also the labour charges were so high. Pros consist of its looks, high end power and riding position. Cons consists of mainly the engine and console vibration, build quality, suspension especially front with low suspension travel.

I just laid down 96000 rupees on a vespa sxl125 and that in no small measure has to do with my experience owning and riding the pulasar as200 over the past two and half years.The lack of utility and the heavy nature of the bajaj meant i needed something easier for the city and with lots of storage to boot. It’s also when i realised how much bang one gets for ones buck with the pulsar.It cost just a shade under 110000 wen new. For ones hard earned money,one gets a liquid cooled 200 with a perimeter frame,front and rear discs and an overall sturdy and stylish motorcycle especially in red ,where it looks a bit like a baby ducati multistrada.

Fuel economy has hovered around the 38kmpl mark with mixed riding. Strong points are rock solid straight line stability and decent handling again limited from being excellent by the soft front end that dives and gets out of shape on hills and dips under hard braking.Keep a smooth line and brake progressively and the perimeter frame shows it’s talents ,making this quite an enjoyable ride. Sore points include ridiculously long levers which hurt the wrist over an hours drive. Switch to aftermarket shorty levers fixes this, and the incessant vibration in the 4000 to 5000 rpm range,which is where it mostly is under normal commuting.

Get aggressive with the riding style though and it transforms entirely, the engine smoother out nicely the faster it revs and the chassis encourages you to ride it hard. It’s a good ride for intercity runs of about 200 km, in the city it’s competent as long as it isn’t subject to stop go traffic and taking a quick turn in this is next to impossible . It feels distinctly top heavy like most pulsars. Things that i would love to see added include a slip and assist clutch and some fix for those vibes please!!!.
