        The vehicle is in good condition, and the pickup is very impressive. Although the mileage is a bit disappointing, the overall performance is still satisfying. With proper maintenance, the bike works well. I would rate it 3.5 stars, and the design and looks are wonderful.

        I like the Bajaj AS200, although I’m not very fond of this older version or its design. However, its power delivery is impressive, and as someone who enjoys powerful and adventure-style bikes, it still feels exciting to ride. The bike has a good overall look and provides decent mileage, making it a satisfying option for many riders.
