That the Bajaj Pulsar AS 200 is a stable and planted motorcycle was apparent on the smooth roads of Lavassa where we first rode it. But now we’ve seen a different dimension to the AS – it handles poor and broken roads surprisingly well. The suspension setup is plush, if a little on the firm side and it absorbs bumps and ruts confidently. Good roads or bad, the Bajaj Pulsar AS 200 can carry some serious speeds. In fact, if this was my daily ride, the only thing that might make me back off on poor roads would be the possibility of the plastics working loose. Another example of the excellent mechanicals being let down by the quality of finish.
