Bajaj Pulsar AS Review
Overview
Bajaj has been working on a new segment from a long time ago and that has been termed 'AS'. Adventure Sport, as the name says is a touring oriented motorcycle series balancing the power of a Pulsar with the comfort of a touring bike.
It was expected the Bajaj will launch only the Pulsar AS200, sharing its engine with the cousin 200 NS but the company gave a complementary Pulsar AS150, which was expected to be launched later. Both the bikes share common body structure with a difference in engine sizes and the features being offered. The 150 cc version missed out on rear disc, is not liquid cooled and also has skinny tires when compared to the 200 cc variant.
A projector lamp has been provided in both the versions, with a large windshield for easy touring and highway riding. The 200 cc engine produced 23.17 BHP whereas the 150 cc has 16.8 BHP. Both the bikes have been effectively priced at INR 91,550 and INR 79,000 for AS200 and AS150 respectively. Also, a 180 cc variant has been rumoured, which seems to be a thought only till date.

About Bajaj Pulsar Brand
Bajaj Autos had a totally new ideology about the Indian motorcycle market some 15 years ago and on 24 November 2001 it was seen in the form of a new lining of motorcycles called as Bajaj Pulsar. Being a scooter based brand, Bajaj had a very tough time switching over into a new segment where the already established firms were having a very good time with their little variety of offerings. Before Pulsar, the Indian market was bent toward small engine motorcycles with no performance expectations and high mileage. Pulsar, at that time changed the traditional biking philosophy and started a new era of speed and performance.
The same spirit has been carried over by the Pulsar from last 14 years and till date; Performance and Pulsars are side by side thoughts in every mind. At the time of introduction, Pulsar's featured all the modern equipment of that time. The disc brake was a proud possession of a Pulsar owner and its muscular appeal was a dream of every teenager. Riding a Pulsar at that time was nothing less than talking to the winds and the same feel can be experienced today also. Bajaj Autos has been updating the technology from time to time and the results are crystal clear.
Bajaj has started the Pulsar with an idea of an ideal Indian performance bike with a balance of economy and sport functionality. Today the ever expanding market has many more challenges and the specificity of every segment has forced the Pulsar to change its form from a basic performance oriented machine to a specific segment competitor. The Pulsar is offered in various engine options staring from 135 cc, then 150 cc, the 180 cc, 200 cc and the favourite of all, the 220 cc. Every engine has the same Pulsar DNA; the pledge to perform remains same whether it’s the oldest one or the youngest one.
Bajaj Autos understands the need of classification of their Pulsars in such a way that everyone finds a suitable on for himself, without going through each one before purchasing. The definition of each different Pulsar lies in its name. Bajaj has coined these terms based on the segment the Pulsar belongs to and also for the purpose of its birth.
Bajaj has classified its Pulsars in every way, making it easy for us to choose what we exactly wish for. From its classic appeal to the modern day technology, Bajaj has balanced everything with its segment differentiation. Go ahead, choose yours.
