Bajaj pulsar 150 as .i like it much from pulsar 150 dtsi . It had many xternal features. Its totally diffrent than dtsi engine bike. Powering the Bajaj Pulsar AS150 is an all new 150cc motor that took almost two years of development time. The single-cylinder, air-cooled DTS-i motor engine gets equipped with 4-valves. The Pulsar AS150’s mill pushes out 17PS at 9,500rpm and 13Nm of peak torque at 7,000rpm making it the most powerful air-cooled 150cc motorcycle on sale in our country. Power delivery is linear and the motorcycle picks momentum without much effort. The motor is free revving and has a very strong mid-range which is beneficial while riding the bike in city traffic. The 5-speed gearbox is hugely improved over its predecessor and offered clean gear shifts but it didn’t feel as crisp and positive as its Japanese rivals.The Pulsar AS 150 and AS 200 come with a comfortable, commuter-friendly upright riding position, and handling is forgiving, with a stable, relaxed feedback always reaching up to you through the handlebars. Ride quality is good, plush and ever-ready to nicely soak up mid-corner road undulations. Bajaj gave us the AS 150 with MRF tyres front and rear, which worked like a treat, offering good grip and feedback even when cranked over at silly lean angles. However, we can't say the same for the Eurogrip rubber on the AS 200, which didn't provide quite the same satisfying confidence levels.The gear ratios are well distributed while the clutch is properly weighed and is easy to operate. Bajaj engineers have paid extra attention in improving NVH levels on the Pulsar AS150 and this has resulted in the refinement level improving positively on the new bike. Having said that, it isn’t the most refined motorcycle in the market. Vibrations do seep in via the handle bars, foot pegs and fuel tank, so Bajaj boffins do have scope to improve. Since we were riding the bike on the twisities of Lavasa we couldn’t gauge its straight line performance. But given the punch the motor has on offer, along with the added benefit of the windscreen, sustaining speeds above 90kmph on the highway shouldn’t be difficult.
