Bajaj Pulsar F250 & N250 review - is it still a Pulsar? | OVERDRIVE

[@rohitraghavan7552]

I still own the 1st gen CBZ. Bought it at a time when the 180 was launched. Although down slightly on performance, it more than made up with the ride and handling. Very happy with my purchase. The legend lives on.

[@callsigncrusader9877]

A 6 speed gearbox could be great , I can feel these will be smooth touring bikes

[@neillele]

Why does every Motorcycle needs a 6th cog? If the gears are tuned correct for urban use which this bike is necessarily targeted, should not be an issue 🤷

@@evilgetsraw278124 ??? it is the final drive ratio which decides the top speed, and you can have either short or long gearing. also 6th gear helps in reduced rpm's

[@evilgetsraw278124]

When you are giving it a 2 valve a 5 speed and oil cooled... Then you have to give it a solid 220f like look... Pulsar 220 is one of the best looking bike from the front...

[@TheLazyWandererMys]

You pretty much described my college days. Back then, not everyone got a two wheeler, let alone a motorcycle. So spotting a 180 was a big thing cuz well it wasnt as common and it was a Big bike atleast in the city i was in. Bajaj did go the FI way with the 220 long before the NS, but switched back to carb due to costs I believe (or was it something else?) Coming back to these motorcycles, I think Bajaj has pretty much given aam junta what they want, affordable performance, that has always been the Pulsar mantra IMO. You asked what we thought of Bajaj dropping the rear ABS in favour of stunting, I think that is something someone from RSA could answer better no? :P But on a serious note I think its a major omission. During the earlier days every stunter would chose the pulsar cuz mainly that's what most could afford. Now though, there are a lot more options in the market to choose from. Not every customer walking into the showroom would go out on one wheel. Bajaj knows this and I think that is why they have the ABS ring on the rear disc. May be they will launch it soon. A simple thing as switchable ABS would have solved all this and it wouldnt have cost them as much either. The multi shade stickers stand out like a sore thumb under harsh lighting. Not sure why they opted in the favour esp after Mr Bajaj's jibe about sticker job during the launch. I used to remove the air filter cap on my Unicorn for the induction sound cuz i couldnt afford a K&N filter which I eventually did buy, seems so childish now. I still use at times though :P

[@soumyaranjansahoo1307]

Edit: This was the most detailed review till now that I have seen Everything seems fine on the bike even the extra weight is managed well as per reviews, but.......why not even an option for dual channel abs? For stunting giving up abs? R u kidding me? On a bike intended for city use dual channel abs would have been just right for safety. Sigh, I just hope bajaj will introduce it as an optional keeping safety in mind

[@dr.chetankolli]

Bajaj introduced dual channel ABS variant a year later in 2022… I own a 2023 E20 compliant dual channel ABS equipped N250…

[@amvj]

Two ugly looking motorcycles. Bajaj is slowly destroying the Pulsar brand. The earlier ones were designed by Glenn Kerr and looks like the new ones were designed by someone who is not passionate about the designs.

[@nishaadjoshi1793]

@@siddheshgharat6300 what do they mean by 'definitely male'? Do you mean to say it's a 'manly' motorcycle, not meant for women, or men who aren't 'manly'. Or they want to say the bike is definitely male? Does it mean being a female is bad? Might sound like I'm nitpicking but these small things do matter

[@krishhvlogs5]

4-Valve would make this breath easy and would make this better, 6th gear instead of slipper clutch is better -->Bluetooth with navigation is needed for long distance touring -->Dual channel is missing,they can give it at this price point -->Bigger tank & oil cooler with more fins can be given to make this touring friendly & muscular -->Bajaj should think about these & update ASAP to satisf6 customer who want to use this for touring

I bought the N250 on 15 September did 150km till now very good for city rides, Dominar 250 or Dominar 400 are better touring bikes, Pulsars were never meant to be touring bikes.

@@devanshmadaan good....... Any bike can do anything...... And having 4valve makes them better.,.

[@AniketSen]

if you all have watched the live stream, Mr. Bajaj's emphatic intro into why PULSAR is the heart and soul of Bajaj, and then they deliver such mediocre, half baked under whelming products... they could have gone all out and made a game changers, but playing it safe, avoiding collateral damage i.e sibling rivalry and making sure these fit thier product portfolio by slotting in perfectly without standing out too much to underwhelm all their other products, MAN! That there was the business decision that will get them millions in sales but devoid them of another legend like the 220F.... this could have been your chance to set free a different bike, one thats not only not based on a detuned KTM mill, but also one that packs a punch no less...but either bajaj's engineering is incapable of designing a superior 250cc engine and therby dethroning the one KTM designs or they simply will not becasue of thier own stake in the Austrians, ergo the fiduciary responsibility!

Dual Channel ABS not even as an option. Just Bajaj things.

[@minjmaxvlog5006]

Awesome 👍😎 review 😀

[@UndisputedBane]

Starting on with the CBZ .. made me emotional .. my cousin used to own .. when I was still in school.. Loved it.. Yes, they should have opted for Dual Channel ABS may be switchable for stunts.. but Fzs 25 kind of makes more sense considering safety and price. Would love to see a comparo of the quarter litre segment.

[@harsh8255]

they are same price

[@debanjanghosh572]

I agree on the fact about 1 channel ABS for stunting but however I don't think a lot these would be bought for stunting. They should have given 2 CH ABS and an option to switch from 2CH to 1CH (if needed for stunting)

[@krishhvlogs5]

They should have given 4Valve engine so that the bike would breath easy & dual channel ABS would make this better bike & as a road bike it needs dial channel ABS.... The deciding factor now is mileage.....

First review to show the quality of the headlights! Quality review but the camera quality could be better, hate seeing that floating effect as if its shot on a mobile phone.

[@karthiks2923]

Atleast one of these two could have got dual abs, liquid cooling, 4valve, slip and assist clutch, better tyres and brakes, better detailed meter. They could have increased cost. Now fz25 is better option for almost same budget or gixer sf250 is better at different budget.

[@harsh8255]

no need of liquid cooling, my n250 doesn't heat much. Tyres and front brakes are fine in dry condition.

[@virendrasingh6793]

Pls make a comparison videk btwn yamaha fz25 and pulsar n250, and what to select between slippery clutch with single channel ABS and dual channel abs with simple multi plate clutch

[@AbhishekSharma-zc2oe]

[@vikasshelke5544]

Pulsar name just borrowed to let it attract customers . It dienst look like pulsar form. any angle .It just reminds of Hero stunner . Sooner pulsar emotions will vanish if bajaj cannot work on improving iconic legacy . Dual channel Abs is safety feature and should not be looked upon as cost saving need.

[@Wildbegin]

That f250 really looks like discover 250 🤣🤣🤣

[@saptarshisutradhar9379]

Could have gone with bybre brakes,140sections rear tyre,bigger front forks..& slightly bigger tank interms of looks and capacity..

[@eddyed4713]

Design wise even though the f250 borrows design from the AS ,it still looks like a pulsar , esp the headlight reminds me of the 180 when it was relaunched with the first in the class digital analogue console and new headlights ..n250 on the other hand doesn't give the feeling of looking at a pulsar...more like headlight of mt and body of a hero xtreme

[@amitbisht5253]

Bajaj have funny and illogical reasons for justifying the single channel ABS. Not everyone do stunting in this country and i am sure 90% of buyers would never do stunting on these bikes.

[@mss3125]

So Bajaj markets this bike as a stunt bike? They should have given dual channel ABS as an option atleast. Or a simple ABS on/off switch for back wheel alone would have been nicer.

[@safaridice]

Single channel is for costs, no matter how much Bajaj wants to paint the picture, no one in their right minds would make a product for stunting. Stunt professionals will not take stock bikes for stunts! That would be ridiculous 😂

[@malluentertainer5041]

I owned a pulsar 180 plasma blue since 2010. So I am Waiting for ONE variant with BLUE COLOUR and DUAL CHANNEL ABS and SIGNATURE PULSAR DUAL HORN might HAVE small hike in the price.... that's ok for me.... it's my suggestion for this bike...you people please inform Bajaj people please include these types changes like my suggestion...
