The Pulsars AS 150 and 200 may be underwhelming for riders who hoped for a true adventure-bike feel, lacking in terms of taller stance and really long stroke suspension, with extra plush ride quality that comes with that. Bajaj, however, tells us these are just their very first steps towards a proper entry into that segment, with adventure bike styling explored. Don't be surprised to see the AS series evolve into full-blown adventure bikes in the days to come, depending on how well the market takes to this first generation of AS Pulsars.
