Purchased the blue machine in June 2015 and in 10 months have completed 5000 Km. Till date had no real issues with the vehicle.
The rear caliper [Read disc fitting] was replaced free of cost after the 1st service as there was a clicking noise popping up time and again. I agree that Bajaj has not been quality conscious in certain places.
However, when I consider the other factors like braking, handling and engine performance, the vehicle looks pretty decent. I have been getting 38-40KMPL in Bangalore City.
Before buying the AS200, I was in a dilemma w.r.t Gixxer SF, Apache 200 RTR and the newly launched AS200. Considering the massive vibrations of the Apache, it was struck out of the list. I chose AS200 over Gixer maily because of 3 reasons
Power
Brakes
Projector lamps
and till date the AS200 has never let me down.
