Re: Bajaj Pulsar AS150 and AS200 launched at 79000/- & 91550/-

I bought 200NS just last month and Bajaj come up with this one. Really disappointed. IMHO, AS200 looks better and projector+windshield is a terrific addition for long rides

. The rear mudguard also helpful than one on 200NS. Now only ABS is missing (and may be FI). I have no problem paying 20-30000 INR more for such combo. Seems like Bajaj started to complete what 200NS is missing and stopped half way for cost cutting measures. A ABS option would have solved that.

and quickly went to Yamaha India website and guess what

(1) power is equal to R15, both 17 PS
(2) Torque is much less than R15, 13 Nm against R15's 15 Nm.

And then i noticed, a Star Mark (*) For Air Cooled Engines Only. he he.

Anyway, this Adventure Sport produces peak power at 1000 RPM higher than a sportsbike (R15).

And they put 200AS IN picture. Cheating :/

Guys,

Do you know which Tyres are coming pre fitted with new AS models. Is it Eurogrip or MRF ?

The bikes that were at the launch venue had MRF tyres fitted.

Thanks Monk.

Anyone, who has noticed the tyres on AS200 at display in Bajaj showrooms, please comment about their make.

Is it just me or did anyone else feel the similarity to a certain Benelli?

I believe Bajaj is billing it as something between the 220 and the 200NS - does that mean the 220 will be discontinued? That would be disappointing. While I do love the 200NS/AS/RS bike's linear power delivery, the 220 was a pure brute - I would certainly hope a new platform takes the heart from the 220 and extends the lineage.

4) The AS is front-heavy and makes you feel it; I test rode the NS soon afterward and realized how well-centred its weight is
5) The mass centralization of the NS plays a big role in its handling, which is why it comes as no surprise that the NS is quicker to flick around than the AS

so u mean to say that the bike is unfit for cornering or that it can corner but not the best like the NS. . ? And how much do you rate the cornering skill needed to get this bike leaning into the corner. . ?

Cheers!!!

With a name like Adventure Sports, one would expect a large fuel tank, higher ground clearance, dual purpose tyres and some more bits and bobs which are associated with that name. Unfortunately the AS200 has none of it.

Thanks for the detailed review.

NS would obviously be better! AS with the heavy front and extra plastic would be like 75-80% of NS in handling.

I'll try to answer what questions I can:
[MENTION=70997]emm[/MENTION]

The posture of the AS is just like the NS; upright and comfortable. I test-rode the P220 a month or so ago, but I remember having had to bend a bit more forward for that one, though not too much. The experts here can shed more light into the difference in posture between the NS and P220; that'll give you a good idea.

@$nick$
The Pulsar 200 NS, AS and RS come with the same tyres:

Front 100/80 and Rear 130/70 MRF Zappers
[MENTION=67143]sanjanikar[/MENTION]

Don't be disappointed about getting the NS; it is still the nimbler bike and a jack-of-all-trades
[MENTION=59533]Rakesh Rok[/MENTION]

I won't say that the AS is 'unfit' for cornering. It is forward-biased, but the perimeter frame and monoshock suspension should ideally make it a good handler. I'm still a novice, so I'm afraid I can't judge how much skill would be needed to twist the bike around. I am, however, looking to test it out myself once I familiarize myself with the bike. Overall, the bike is not at all a slouch when it comes to moving around. It's pretty comfortable to handle.

I think [MENTION=41586]Divya Sharan[/MENTION] gave a pretty good idea of what to expect from the AS in terms of handling.
[MENTION=35854]chinmayakar[/MENTION]

I visited the Panvel showroom; they've still got 2 models of the AS last I saw. Where do you stay in Navi Mumbai?

Oh, and by the way. Small update from my end; I got the bike

I wish I could start an ownership thread right now, but it will have to wait until the weekend; I am swamped with work at the moment, and I don't want to half-ass the ownership thread of such an awesome, awesome bike. See you all then!

You sure you just didn't visited the showroom, flipped the key for a test drive and then drove to home instead. .?
Hehehe jokes apart Congo buddy.
The only reason I would buy AS OVER NS now will be only ONE, it comes in freaking monotone colour with no BS dual tone stickers. ..!!

What about AS150's engine? Is it the same or derived from that of P150?
Or miniature version of AS200?
