Should You Buy Bajaj Pulsar N250?

Bajaj had to, at some point, but replacing the Pulsar 220F has proved to be much harder than they thought. Their most concerted attempt so far is the Pulsar N250 and the Pulsar F250, which have turned out to be competent motorcycles for sure... but do they have what it takes to replace the 220F?

Thanks Rakesh!

[@manas5026]

I agree with Shumi. When I rode pulsar 150 with round headlight, I felt like I am the quickest on the road. So much excitement. Then I had a chance to ride 220F. And I felt like Barry Allen. Thoughts of comfort never struck my mind because there was so much adrenaline rush. Now pulsars have excellent comfort, suspension, and other things that make it a very very user-friendly bike. But I miss the excitement, the adrenaline rush.

Was the 220f more strong at low end, middle or top end of the rpms?

Awesome! Glad you’re liking your bike! Can you please tell us about your service experience?

[@abhinavsingh2757]

i have had n250 for about 8 months now, done 2 services. Overall the service experience is good. But my rear sprocket was throwing some knocking noise once and i went to them and asked to check on which they said its normal ,etc . after some days when i got irritated with that noise i went again and askd them to check again , on which their reply was the same, but then i made the service manager sit with me and took him on a short ride , then only he recngized the issue and then they fixed it. turned out the rubber on the sprcket was worn out, so they replaced it free of cost.@@motorinc

Thank you so much for this video you guys don't know how long I was waiting for it ❤. In fact I was going to book the bike and then the dealers told me that the bs6 Obd-2 E20 model was not coming to the south 😢 when i enquired in Kochi, Kerala. I also enquired with another bajaj dealer and they told me that they don't have the e20 2023 model and it is not available in the other nearby districts as well. So now I am looking at the bs6 2022 model

@@UtkarshSingh361 I do not know your use case. But since you are split between engine and suspension I say take test ride on both. If you feel the 250 needs the usd only then wait.

@@thecrazysharma well i am an engineering student, i need bike with better engine i don't like features and stuff. I was going for NS because of it's 6 speed liquid cooled engine. And since you own N250 i asked. What do you think 6 speed and liquid cooled engine really matters?

[@thecrazysharma]

@@UtkarshSingh361 Get the N250. In city you never need the 6th gear. Coming to cooling since you are a student go for the oil cooled. one les thing to care and maintain. I live in delhi and have been on my bike for hours in one go. The heat is almost neglegible. Coming to the suspension. The N250 has a almost perfect front suspension, the rear is a bit stiff. which gives best of both comfort and response. So, In my humble opinion choose the N250.

Great content again.. all the vital aspects of the bike were well assessed. I had a query that is unrelated to this video..

I came across a windshield extender from pro spec.. would you recommend that? Kindly guide me on this. Thank you

Thank you for the wonderful videos. It would be so good to see a review of Honda hornet 2.0 from Motorinc. It seems to be very good when compared to most 160cc vehicles if the focus is on easy performance with the guaranteed reliability of Honda and comparable mileage. It also seems to have bad headlights and hard suspension, so would be great to have some type of comparison of this bike with the 160cc segment. Please?

[@jeswinjohn3923]

Another awesome video with ample detail and very calm narrative, a welcome change. Thanks to everyone at motorinc. Watching the video I am thinking of buying the N250, but i have been an avid Yamaha fan and had my heart set on the FZS25. But its nowhere to be found except on the Yamaha website. Will the N250 be a good alternative? Kindly advise. EDIT- Yamaha website nor online shop shows FZ/FZS25, guess it's discontinued for sure☹️

The bike is 8 months old and within a year they are saying like to change the battery. Other than that the bike is a Gem, I travelled around 300kms without taking any break at 90-100kmph all along

Hey Shumi ! I would love to hear a review from you on Honda Highness 350 please...

[@ncstracks-anshuman4065]

Well ive bought it on jan 2023, and so far its one of my best decisions, the only regret in my opinion is the 6th gear and usd forks, which either one of them would have been excellent, and this bike should have come with it, to differentiate between 160 and 250, as both looks same. The exhaust note is really good around 2nd and 3rd gear at 20-40kmph, it sounds like a bigger bike, as for the average i am getting around 32-35kmpl and i don't ride rash and in higher speeds( except highways, which I don't often go to) and lastly the price, you are getting a decently powerful 250cc bike for just 1.85L that's fantastic.

I am always afraid to ride sports/heavy bikes. but this n250 is so good at teaching me how to ride, it's been 8 months and I don't have anything to complain about maybe it's because it's my first bike and I don't have anything to compare. by the way, your reviews are awesome. it's like you are transferring your experience.

Hello shumi sir, would you recommend this as a 1st bike to a 19 year old guy who has little to no riding experience. I am 18 right now and intend to purchase this bike some time next year. I was interested in this bike since fairly long and got excited when i saw this vid in my home page. I was kind of disappointed to learn that this bike didnt have a 6th gear but my main concern is that i might get bored of its looks rather quickly. My secondary choice is the honda cb300r and im waiting for the launch of apache rtr 310 as well. Would appreciate your opinion.

[@motorinc]

Yes, the N250 should make a decent bike as a first bike. You can choose to wait for the RTR310 if you like, but generally, we don't like recommending bikes over 250cc/30bhp for new riders

[@sahilroy893]

@@johnmuller6595 Seriously .. it's so frustrating.

[@motorinc]

A common misconception is that a bike misses 6th... the idea that one more gear would help. Most manufacturers design gearboxes by selecting the ratio for the bottom and top gears and then filling in the middle gears to achieve the rideability/economy/emissions/performance goals. So if the N250 had a sixth, chances are it would be the same as fifth right now and there'd be an additional ratio in the middle 🤷🏽‍♂️

Finallyyyyy, after so many requests on every motorinc shorts post the “Who should buy the N160”, the N250 video is out. And sure, i own a single channel N250 and its very close to my heart. The thing is, just after getting my first job, i got the Pulsar 135LS, my bestie had a Pulsar 150. We had a lot of fun during the early years with them and the Pulsars were just so much more than commuters (135, 150 commuters). Later, after 4-5 yrs, i got the NS200, it was a maad mad motorcycle and injust loved to rev it all around. After another 4yrs, i finally went to buy the D250 but this time around, i was married already with my better half leading me to the Bajaj showroom. However, this time around, when i test rode the N250, it just felt like a MAN with responsibilities and some fun unlike the Pulsars/Dominars which were Boys in Men’s clothing 😂 (#MeToo).

Great review. N250 looks more better than F250. I think, Bajaj made Pulsar F250 to replace F220. But F250, though it's fresh, but lacks satisfactory looks from front, especially the exhaust, mirrors and drl design is not as appealing or same as F220. I heard bajaj going to relaunch the F250 facelift with minor changes? Waiting for it.

I just completed a 800 km 4 day ride with some segments being in hilly roads…. The Pulsar 220F can get extremely torquey low range while also giving pretty blistering speeds at redline. Suspension remains solid and stable over all terrain when tuned to weight( Thanks for the Advice, @shumar !) ….. Its a blast to ride. And the dnf trio compared to the great, looks like DNF, ie Does Not Finish, which the 220F does spectacularly. It has the two things that the dnf decidedly does not have…..Original Identity that people will get in first look, and excitement that people will remember for a lifetime. The video was just Béllisimo with all the nuances we have come to expect with motorinc, and all the feels that they make us feel. Thats my …. maybe two hundred cents. Just the magic pill talking.😂

Sir plz make a video on xpulse I will be thank full for it your video are amazing and unique from other love from Ladakh hope we will get soon video on xpulse thk u sir ❤

[@motorinc]

Hi! We can make a video only after we've tested the bike. We will try to do so as soon as possible.

[@udayshome1793]

Hmm ... BOA laces! ... which shoes are those @Shumi?

[@Kckbeat]

Waiting for F250! Any updates on the E20 OBD2 model?

[@motorinc]

We're not sure F's are in production or not... sales have been very poor for that specific model

[@KishoreJatin]

In the PD review of the D250 shumi said that it appeals more to the mind than the heart. After riding both, compared to this the Dominar felt like the one with more heart in it which may just be down to the character of the duke engine. For someone wanting an upgrade to a 250 without much of a challenge this seems perfect. For anyone wanting more, this is a bit too easy.

Trying to decide on my first bike. Was pretty sure i would go with RTR200 , but now i am confused. Can you suggest which one should i prefer RTR200 vs N250 ? I want the bike for daily commute and might take it on the highway once in a while

[@motorinc]

Both are competent motorcycles. It'll be best to take a back to back test rides.

[@kunal3388]

The way Shumi speaks, like many others I have also seen him on tv, youtube and now I can say this is bestest Shumi, period. Also coming back to Pulsars, Mr. Bajaj mentioned in his recent interview when speed was launched in India, that the next big thing for Pulsar is going to happen in March next year, is it the new NS RS range? Maybe they are working on the heart again.

[@motorinc]

Thank you Kunal! Yes, we're looking forward to this too!

[@rahulmatai8132]

I have no words to discribe how awesome was that story! I mean who other than motorinc would have thought bikes - the most dangerous way of transportation can be compared using medicine! - 🤯 Never been a fan of Pulsars in general! But maybe there is a case to be heard!

[@motorinc]

Thanks Rahul!

[@uvuvwevwevweossaswithglasses]

There is! Just ride one of these 250s and see for yourself

[@vspatmx7458]

I am moving past this category.. What I desperately need is some sort of comparo between Suzuki vstom 650 And bmw 850 gs Will the 850 give me a semi feel of the rear suspension of 1250gs ? Expenses are not a concern as of now.

[@motorinc]

The 850 suspension equalling 1250GS? No. The better buy is the VStrom (the 800 should also arrive) which does most things really well and is a _heck of a lot_ cheaper to live with than the 850

[@anujbhardwaj4203]

Is n250/f250 better than gixxer 250 siblings?

[@ElevenRush]

Some bikes are meant to be remain old and they can't be replaced. F250 not even came closer to 220f. Well i heard many good things about n250 anf f250, but practically only few brought them and resale prices are shockingly low for new motorcycles like them.

[@motorinc]

Absolutely on point! That's exactly what's happened

[@vijaychauhan7239]

Make a video on the 2024 duke 390❤

[@vaizghani6710]

You Guys are like the TopGear crew but with a more in-depth view on all things motoring

[@motorinc]

Thank you very much!

[@vignaeshsubramaniam8862]

And unlike TopGear, not biased

[@abhishek46]

Everything fine. But, why provide a 5speed GB?

[@sudarshangs4235]

Whichever automotive journalist I listen to, nobody comes close to Shumi's charisma and confidence till date 🤔he is the ultimate!

[@motorinc]

Thank you very much!

[@Dheeeeraj]

Any notes on how the bike vibrates (if it does) at 100kmph? What's the rpm its sitting at @100 in 5th gear?

[@motorinc]

There's not a lot of vibration across the rev range Dheeraj, but at highway speeds, it could have been quieter and more settled, that's all

[@Dheeeeraj]

@@motorinc Thank you for responding so quickly!

[@jeswinjohn3923]

Hello and Good day, Your clear reviews and FAQs on N250, made me feel that the N250 would be suitable for me as my next bike, so went to get a test drive. I am from Chennai, approached two Bajaj showrooms and both said the Pulsar N250 has been stopped and that Bajaj is only producing the 220F. It would be very helpful if you could shed some light on this. Thank you.

[@motorinc]

Thank you for bringing it to our notice. We will check and get back.

[@deep15399]

Shumi please tell bajaj to give usd suspension on n series.

[@ihavstupid9232]

I wish bajaj would come up with a 300cc ver of the N250 and give it a 6th gear and some minor improvements to the agressive design as well. Now, that would be my dream bike. Can only hope though.😅

[@motorinc]

[@travancorebiker]

Shumi, any idea whether this 250 platform will spawn an ADV in the future aka the V Strom 250?

[@ujwal_mahindrakar]

What are your thoughts on n160 when it is compared with Apache 160 4V?

[@motorinc]

Here: bit.ly/bajajpulsarn160faq You'll find a video at the end that should answer your question

[@mohammedghouse4837]

Would like to make a wish can we see behind the scenes shots in coming days... ❤

[@motorinc]

Great suggestion! We could think about it.

[@anirudhmore7831]

Can you review the latest Mt15 as compared to its category?

[@motorinc]

We're trying to! Delays at Yamaha for the MT

[@NoOne-jq3oo]

Please compare Apache rtr 200 4v and Pulsar N250 as they are priced exactly the same. Both are naked and cater to the same segment. I know there is a difference between the engine capacity and output figures but machines are much more than just spec sheet.

[@nadaimportante7180]

Thank God. This is my first time seeing an Indian vlogger that speaks English.

[@shubhtrivedi6515]

Can you make a detailed video about Suzuki V-Strom 250 SX as well!!

[@motorinc]

We have! Please do look for at it on the channel!

[@vzvish357]

are Bajaj discontinuing N/F250 ?

[@johnchristopher8028]

I own f250 and its really refined, but you do miss that grunt that 220f gives, other than that f250 rides smooth and in absolute love with it. Just did a 750kms ride on it and its was absolute fun. Not that great at cornering when i rode in shirdi ghat section but it gives a very motogp feel😅. A tip for riding in ghat section with this motorcycle - ride a gear lower and that changes the entire ride feel and you can come out of the corners with more acceleration.

[@motorinc]

Spot on!

[@narendrababu2439]

F250 is avilable in showroom please let me know once
