Looks like the chaps at Bajaj Auto have sworn of raining the market with their products off late. While the new RS200 is still keeping people busy gawking wide-eyed on it, the automaker has already put forward another potential crowd-puller in front of us. Today, they have launched another line-up into their products, calling it Adventure Sports. The new line-up, as the name itself suggests, is to comprise sports touring and probably off-roading focused motorcycles. As of now, they have placed two if their much anticipated new products in the line-up, namely Pulsar AS200 and PulsarAS150. These motorcycles are essentially great options for touring enthusiasts who have always felt neglected in the crazy-for-faired-machines kind of market we have here.

Whereas, the smaller sibling, Bajaj Pulsar AS150 is based on the same platform and is powered by a 149.5cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine instead of liquid cooling. Also, this smaller motor has twin-spark for the duty of igniting the fuel inside. The AS150 boasts a power output of 17PS that is highest in its segment, Bajaj claims. The torque figures read as 13Nm @ 7,500rpm. This bike also sports a perimeter frame, which is again a welcome change in the 150cc Pulsars. It comes at an ex-showroom price of INR 79,000.
