Well the New method of Baja seems to be working. Put in the engine of NS in New models, label them as CS200, RS200, AS200 and now you have variety. Its a good move actually. Consumers get more to choose from.
I got a chance to test ride the AS 200 for a friend who wanted a review. The bike performance is flawless in its category like the NS. Longer gear ratios, linear power delivery, enough torque to climb up the hills without gear changes, all the goodies that the NS has.
The difference:
Projector headlamps is a big saver for night. The larger windscreen now helps a lot especially in batalling crosswinds on highway. The rear mud guard is now longer to avoid the splashes of water in rain.
Is it good:
Yes, if you currently want to upgrade to a nice 200cc within this price range.
