@Shumi: I agree with you when you say easy to ride bike would feel slow. Never though it in that way, but in retrospect it makes sense. I ride a Pulsar 135 LS and I 'feel' it's a fun bike in city traffic. This is something I 'felt' the day I started riding it as you call it in "Flow state", constantly keeping it in it's sweet spot ( around 6000 to 8500 rpm). It does not make a lot of torque or power with that buzzy engine , barely crosses the highway speed limits, but it does walk up and down the rev band quite well. That meant I can bang through gears 3 to 5 on open stretches, then blip down one or couple of gear as the traffic slows down then back up again. This constant choreographed dance made my office commutes a lot more engaging and may I say it, fun. While doing so I used to think I was doing crazy speed, but a quick glance down would reveal a 2 digit number. That said, how do you think these Pulsars stack up to that use case ? Are they more Yamaha FZ like or still a Pulsar just with relaxed riding cadence. Not upgrading my bike, just in search for different riding experience.
I liked this one.. it's clear .. gives a good idea about the product it feels like shumi has actually talked as if he was a lead Bajaj developer on this project.. but thanks for such gr8 content
Excellent video. Whenever Shumi goes in technicalities it's always fun to learn. Only one annoying thing, OLX Auto wale bhaiya was like a khadoos peon coming and disturbing a really interesting lecture.
Mr shumiiii! How can you be this clear. You are giving a lot of info. You are a gift to powerdrift. Expecting a lot of podcasts from you even if it's not covered by automobiles.
Shumi speaking is almost becoming the benchmark of moto journalism..and he does it really well..he talks tech makes it really simple(which btw is not easy)..and keeps it really unbiased..like info..info..info..simple explaination..something about varun..short summary..ok..you choose..4 favourite buttons.. PD has the best combo.. Ek genius rider..ek cute cool..knowledgable rider..aisa kidhar milta hai bhai..
You r just awesome in explaining any topic.i remember how you explained about pulsar 135ls n its 4valve technology 10 years back. I understood that n never forgot that..n bought pulsar 135ls..(imagine a human with 4 nostrils which will make u more efficient) u said these words that day.. Now after this explanation it is gonna be the same story..m gonna take one of these bikes..😊
Great video as always PD and Shumi. Big fan. I follow your motorcycle content with great intensity. I learned a lot from watching this. I hope now people will stop pestering the RTR 200 with the sixth gear...sixth gear and everything.
Plz make a detailed comparison video between these two and fz 25, would like to know about difference in power n torque characteristics and overall feel of riding.
It's awesome details to have such straight talks .. it's clear the mind of all the PD fans... Just two thing dual channel ABS must have and side stand kill switch / no self .. should be there in future Bajaj Pulsar series
The easy performance will be appriated by me, but I don't get the fact that it why it doesn't get a dual channel ABS even as an option and the section of rear tyre 140 would have made it look more muscular and handle well at corners.
Smaller tyre means more agility and better mileage. That's why and about ABS, it's to keep the cost at what they wanted. As Shumi said, they thought of the cost pretty much from the start.
@@satishjoseph definitely. They are better and even lasts longer but this is a very basic bike from Bajaj so it was expected. They made this as a commuter. Hopefully the next RS and NS gets a more premium treatment for the younger fanbase.
@@sushantdutta8707 I get the sense behind using a smaller section tyre, but ABS is a safety feature and to comprise on that is a bit of a bummer, atleast as an option they could have provided as a consumer It would been nice to have that option.
PD release a video to justify this bikes behalf of Bajaj. Yes they made genuine points. I wonder why they didn't put these same logic in hornet 2.0 and cb200x reviews.
I am looking for my first bike am confused between the pulsar n , Apache and the x pulse 4v , test rode the dominar 250 felt it was expensive and heavy , was thinking about the classic/bullet but way out of budget at almost 2.5 lakhs , I love the way the x pulse looks and what it has to offer , apache to me looks like a no nonsense machine, while I don't know about the new pulsar , does it uphold the legacy and fun of its predecessor ,also rode the mt15 , loved it but at the same time felt overpriced , what I am looking for in a bike is easy to ride , reliable and easy to maintain while being fun and good looking , so pls suggest something , I would have bought the x pulse but at almost the same price the rtr and pulsar have more power , I have that fomo of power and torque with the x pulse
Yes we really would love to have more question answer videos! Thank you Powerdrift for explaining in such a details! Liked this content and helped in understanding the reality of technologies as well!
That's just amazing.... How easily you answered all the questions..... Totally loved your way of describing each and everything in the easiest way that even a beginner can understand every bit explained by you....
Go for dominar as it is more affordable than gixxer & get more advanced features like dual channel ABS, Liquid cooled 6 speed transmission with slipper clutch. Before buying plz do a test drive of it 🙏
I think it would have been easier for Bajaj to provide the 6th cog rather than explaining the absence of it.. I understand the peak power and torque is available quite early in the rev band so they didn't feel the need of it.. But the same Bajaj felt the need of a 5th cog in the Platina 110. It took them 15 years to listen to customers to find a true replacement of the Pulsar 220 and I wonder who the customers were who asked Bajaj to stick to a 5 speed unit. Times have changed and the competition has moved ahead.. so, banking too much on the emotions of the yesteryears Pulsars and providing a bike with almost no USP is like forcing it down your throat. I ask for your forgiveness in advance for what might look like negativity.. but this is really depressing.. forget 3 Sparks and liquid cooling.. the least that was expected from the 250 was to have Oil Cooled, 4V and 6 speed or were we expecting too much.
Wow this was a perfect explanation about the technology and literally every thing the company decided to put on their bikes that we needed to know as to why ? Ha ha hats off shumi 👏 very educative naration . I request you guys for the reviews and q&a for the xpulse 200 4v as well . Thank you
Great video.. I think Bajaj never announce the phasing out of a motorcycle, it's nothing new. It's always the journalists and dealers who inform us. I think Bajaj does that to ensure they can relaunch the product if the replacement doesn't work. A hope they revive the V brand and lauch a V250. Plus they have a global portfolio where such news can affect sales in region where a particular product is not being discontinued..
Of course, after PD simplified I think I would enjoy a Questions Answered series as well. It is assuring me to be informed well in every aspect while making my mind to buy a bike..
We like you to examine the levels of vibration and rattling in the new Pulsar bikes with the ones provided with a perimeter frame. Also why these bikes could not have been designed with a kerb weight of 154 kg the benchmark set by FZ25?. Why have the weights of Bajaj bikes climbed over time ie KTM 390 has added over 30 kgs since the first introduction. How is Honda CB 300 made with such a low kerb weight ? (Now not available in BS6). Do keep up your informative videos. 👍
Japanese bike makers have a lot more experience than Bajaj in designing engines and chassis. Engine casing is one area of weight reduction. Fortnine has a video on this in which he explains how much the casing thickness has reduced over the decades. I suspect Indian manufacturers still have some catching up to do in this area. Still, 6 kilos sound much better then D250's 20 kilo, making the latter a deal breaker. 390 is not 30kg heavier today, what gives you this idea? It could be a few kilos due to change in exhaust from under belly to a conventional one, bs6 additions, etc. Still, it remains as the lightest in its class. Check the weight of cb500, it is quite heavy to its disadvantage.
@@lvvenky9973 I found an old figure of 139 kilos of dry weight, without engine oil, fuel, etc. Weight wet was 154. Today the dry weight is 163 and wet weight is 167 kilos. Yes, weight has increased, but this duke is a different model than the old one. You were comparing dry weight of an older bike with the wet weight of a newer bike, which has a lot more electronics and emission control stuff.
The thermal stability management system is THE ONE AND ONLY reason why Pulsar AS siblings failed and Bajaj discontinued it. AS had a tiny twin spark air-cooled engine that produced 17+bhp with very front heavy handling. The bikes' engines heated like aloo paratha during summers. Very often it stopped and ceased to start up again after a severe 8k-9k rpm haul. The sweet spot for my AS was 4k-5k rpm which made zero point to validate the 17bhp considering the peak torque was at 9k rpm. That bike, was a bad bad experiment. Bajaj literally skipped R&D there, and many of the customers like me suffered that in terms of maintaining a pseudo-performance 150/200cc engine with not so commuter oriented design and handling.
Hello sir, I am looking for a bike which is good for daily cityride,office going, occasionally / regularly long distance ride(max 60km) including highways, ladies friendly pillon seats for mother and future wife. Are F250 and N250 capable of? If yes (I think it's a big YES), whichone should I buy? F250 or N250? As they look same, but as far I know N250 is good for cityrides , turning and all and F250 is good for those who do highway riding a lot or we can say for those who do daily basis for commuting
I am 5'11 tall, I feel it is having shorter seat arrangement. Does that make feel discomfort while riding/after like back pain/shoulder pain ? I am planning to buy F250
If you are keen on the pulsar 250 and upset after the launch this the video and undecided on what to do , this is the video you need to watch. Fantastic explanation by shumi sir . I am really hoping PD team can make one such video on the Honda cb350 and the Re classic 350 which is again a huge customer market and will be very helpful.
one question which was not covered probably was that of optional dual channel abs like RE, reason being as you it can seem slow but actually not slow can be deceiving in terms of application of brakes and thereby necessarily having dual channel abs atleast as option, do you think it may not be necessary having practically ridden? can you get dual channel abs in servicing?
Sir whether mt or n250 is worth buying As their price is approx same But many says that pulsar engines are totally not reliable and harsh also says that as like for example n250 may give 30 34 mileage that is not justified for 250 cc i think So only I think to take mt 15 rather that n250 Please answer dear I am waiting for your ans
Confused between fzs25 and f250. Upgrading from fzs v3 and want a refined bike with good economy for daily office commutes and occasional highway touring. I'm very doubtful about refinement and reliability of bajaj engines as i haved ridden few old bajaj bikes and they were vibrating like hell. I need bike for long term.
Hatts off to Shumi sir, you explanation was equally sensible and knowledgeable as one of Bajaj's directors. Keep up the best work and looking forward to see such contents.
Before comparing with the Likes of Yamaha and KTM what people must really understand is that Bajaj Motorcycle is never a premium brand it's a mass motorcycle manufacturer. Stop bla bla on missing features still the manage to keep the price affordable for the Middle class with most essential features.
Bravo, great video! I wish you can do something like this or even the usual review on the new apache 160 4v with ride modes which seem to get no attention for some strange reason :)
Sare ans Clear kar diye apne Jitne bhi sare log Bol rahe the we are disappointed But you clear all the questions I'm doing Automobile engineering I know I how a engine works which engine use which type of cooling system as these is not oversquare engine nor higher raving it's Square engine and dosnt have high compression ratio so it doesn't need oil cooling system and then it's Motercycle for more torque so this bike is all about mid range and it's not higher raving engine so it doesn't need 6Th gear it's very good video and This video is ans for all Peoples
I am a pulsar owner for the last 15 years and I am in search of a new motorcycle, was confused between the NS and the N series. Your explanation about them helped a lot to understand their characteristics. Excellent!!! Please continue with the series . . .
Which one did you buy ? Ns200 or N250 ? Or domi250 ? I'm interested knowing the answer as you have already own pulsar for 15 years. Please do leave your reply waiting for it.
@@tmpblurry4614 Sorry for the late reply but you will be surprised I bought Duke 200. I know such a transition must have a good reason so let me explain why not pulsar. In my owner's experience with pulsar it was a machine that doesn't cost me more money but it cost me my time to actually keep it in good condition. The spare parts are cheap for pulsars but the duration in which they have to be replaced was very frequent so almost I used to be in the garage every damn week. I wanted premium quality parts that didn't cost me time like pulsar did. So Duke was the best available option which is a premium category product from Bajaj. Hope I have answered your question with some extra details 😁
@@abhishekshrivastav3825 I decided to buy R15 as I'm a student and what's your thoughts on this ? After listening to your review I think I don't really want that much performance so NS200 or Duke 200 couldn't make it in my list. So R15 or N160 or Honda Unicorn or Hornet 2.0 so I decided to go for R15 as it has performance of 155cc if needed and mileage of 155cc so my family will be happy to see bike eating less fuel
It's a brilliant justification... No doubt.... But I guess speculating the consumer's "NEED" n "WANT"... Anything above 1.2 Lakh price tag, not having a 6th gear is a deal breaker.... I guess Yamaha has faced it quite well... N hv reflected in the sales as wellm... I guess bajaj should sort this conundrum via Marketing (Ads)! And as always the best motoring journalism is right here😎 "."
Sumi sir,can you plzs tell me which bike to pick between the updated 2022 tvs Apache rtr 200 dual channel ABS and bajaj pulsar f250. Your answer will be highly appreciated and will be a deciding factor in my buying.thank you
So the NS/RS are better handlers. How about rs200 vs duke 250? I know one is much more powerful than other, but which one is more friendly/easy to ride fast? I think the new pulsars might be a bit too offortless and uninvolving for me. Am looking to buy my first bike, a pre-owned one at that.
Believe me Guys if you follow powerdrift seriously then you dont want to see this video because you already know all the answers. Shumi taught us all the things in past videos. He tailored all the answers for pulsar 250's . Powerdrift is a Worthy channel !!!
Just can't wait the range of motorcycles & their performance when shumi becomes the head of R&D of a company.... This man is lit 🔥... This is what reviews are all about👌👌
Banking in so much emotions to a yesterday's pulsar that bajaj decided to stick to a 5th gear transmission👏. No dual channel Abs even for a 250cc bike, no liquid cooled, 130 rear tyre for 250cc, no tft console or bluetooth connectivity. Totally dissapointed bye bye now bajaj
Hahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂, this video single handedly, let's not call it addressed but rather destroyed everyone who's been bitching about the pulsars and pushed them back into their burrows. This was the single most satisfying video I've watched, especially after the not so great review by Varun ( which I didn't expect from him ). Shumi being a boss as usual !!
help me with riding position for R15 V4, switching from AS200 to R15 V4 I feel so much back pain, will it be hard to commute in traffics! Or is there any way to raise handle bars, I have seen some videos on RUclips for V3 not For V4. Or shall I do any modifications to make it little extra comfortable to ride in city and highway! Or is it just my mind set that switching from AS200 to V4 is causing these many questions
You dont need to worry about the ns and rs because they are going to stop making them. Gonna miss a ktm engine at low prices. But I hope the new ns is just amazing and it releases next year. Thanks for the informative video shumi sir.
Waiting for : 1.R250 - replacing rs250 - may it get a racing based engine like cbr 250r - with - 27 ps power 2.N150 , F150 , R150 - may it get a better engine with good engine figures. With - 19 ps power
Very good videos they are ! As you explained that the gearbox (for the pulsar) when in development was ratioed by deciding the first and last gear ratios first and hence filling the gap in between appropriately, and therefore adding the 6th gear would've slotted in between these two (first and last) gear ratios. But what if while adding the 6th gear, they move the last gear ratio a little taller and hence filling in the gaps which mates to the expected torque demand ?
Anything below 5 Bhp or 5 Nm difference is not really a difference , you would barely notice them. People nowadays get soo hung up numbers, features etc. and most of them will use the bikes in bumper to bumper traffic and maybe atmost 1-2 long trips in a year. Just buy what you like to ride , it doesn't matter if some XYZ on the road has a bike with better features.
My question is Is the new n250 has the same engine of ns200 or rs00? Its like it is the same engine bt tuned into different segments? Or it it is completely a new one?
Both are totally different engines. NS200 is based on Duke 200 engine with liquid cooling and 6 speed transmission. N250 is brand new engine with 5 speed transmission. Both are completely different.
WOW!! this was a great video... it wasnt just about the pulsars but motorcycles in general....Very informative and love the calmness in his voice....keep it coming!!!
Hey #PDArmy, we hope this has answered your questions about the new Pulsar F250 and the N250. If you have any more, ask us below!
Would love it if PD could recommend some beginner bikes for people who want to get into motorcycling.
It's another pulsar for now, simplified.
PD can also please clarify why doesn't it have a dual channel ABS considering all 250s in the market has it as standard?

Bajaj literally skipped R&D there, and many of the customers like me suffered that in terms of maintaining a pseudo-performance 150/200cc engine with not so commuter oriented design and handling.
Hello sir,
I am looking for a bike which is good for daily cityride,office going, occasionally / regularly long distance ride(max 60km) including highways, ladies friendly pillon seats for mother and future wife.
Are F250 and N250 capable of?
If yes (I think it's a big YES), whichone should I buy? F250 or N250?
As they look same, but as far I know N250 is good for cityrides , turning and all and F250 is good for those who do highway riding a lot or we can say for those who do daily basis for commuting
I am 5'11 tall, I feel it is having shorter seat arrangement. Does that make feel discomfort while riding/after like back pain/shoulder pain ? I am planning to buy F250
A video on Dominar250's exact role and character is required after hearing what shumi said about them!!!!
And also why they have stopped d250 production??🤔
@Rupesh Kumar Don't know bro .... even the showroom guys aren't sure .
Oh very gud information but why Bajaj didn't gave duel channel abs for 250 cc bike?...
What an informative video!! Everything discussed in details and on point! Great work Team Powerdrift!
What about pillion comfort?
Vehicle companies should keep this guy in their launch event ..damn it was crystal clear ❤️👏👏
Hey PowerDrift can you name the place at 1:55....?......thanks
Shumi is the only genuine motorcycle guy he knows everything about bikes do such videos on new bikes THANX
If you are keen on the pulsar 250 and upset after the launch this the video and undecided on what to do , this is the video you need to watch. Fantastic explanation by shumi sir .
I am really hoping PD team can make one such video on the Honda cb350 and the Re classic 350 which is again a huge customer market and will be very helpful.
Does it have a vibration in a vizer like 220F does in 1st gear??????
Do reply me
one question which was not covered probably was that of optional dual channel abs like RE, reason being as you it can seem slow but actually not slow can be deceiving in terms of application of brakes and thereby necessarily having dual channel abs atleast as option, do you think it may not be necessary having practically ridden? can you get dual channel abs in servicing?
Sir whether mt or n250 is worth buying
As their price is approx same
But many says that pulsar engines are totally not reliable and harsh also says that as like for example n250 may give 30 34 mileage that is not justified for 250 cc i think
So only I think to take mt 15 rather that n250
Please answer dear I am waiting for your ans
Confused between fzs25 and f250. Upgrading from fzs v3 and want a refined bike with good economy for daily office commutes and occasional highway touring. I'm very doubtful about refinement and reliability of bajaj engines as i haved ridden few old bajaj bikes and they were vibrating like hell. I need bike for long term.
PD What ABOUT the refinement level in this engine in comparison to the japanese brand motorbikes and reliability of the engine.
Shumi can be a professor at an automobile college and the lectures would be lovely
How beautifully Shumi answers the question - "Are they slow "
Was just awesome ❤️
Hatts off to Shumi sir, you explanation was equally sensible and knowledgeable as one of Bajaj's directors. Keep up the best work and looking forward to see such contents.
Hate the pointy engine cowl though....it's like it would stab a speed breaker or something.
Before comparing with the Likes of Yamaha and KTM what people must really understand is that Bajaj Motorcycle is never a premium brand it's a mass motorcycle manufacturer.
Stop bla bla on missing features still the manage to keep the price affordable for the Middle class with most essential features.
Bravo, great video! I wish you can do something like this or even the usual review on the new apache 160 4v with ride modes which seem to get no attention for some strange reason :)
Between F and N which 1 to choose?
Sare ans Clear kar diye apne Jitne bhi sare log Bol rahe the we are disappointed But you clear all the questions I'm doing Automobile engineering I know I how a engine works which engine use which type of cooling system as these is not oversquare engine nor higher raving it's Square engine and dosnt have high compression ratio so it doesn't need oil cooling system and then it's Motercycle for more torque so this bike is all about mid range and it's not higher raving engine so it doesn't need 6Th gear it's very good video and This video is ans for all Peoples
I am a pulsar owner for the last 15 years and I am in search of a new motorcycle, was confused between the NS and the N series. Your explanation about them helped a lot to understand their characteristics. Excellent!!! Please continue with the series . . .
Which one did you buy ?
Ns200 or N250 ?
Or domi250 ?
I'm interested knowing the answer as you have already own pulsar for 15 years.
Please do leave your reply waiting for it.
@@tmpblurry4614 Sorry for the late reply but you will be surprised I bought Duke 200. I know such a transition must have a good reason so let me explain why not pulsar. In my owner's experience with pulsar it was a machine that doesn't cost me more money but it cost me my time to actually keep it in good condition. The spare parts are cheap for pulsars but the duration in which they have to be replaced was very frequent so almost I used to be in the garage every damn week. I wanted premium quality parts that didn't cost me time like pulsar did. So Duke was the best available option which is a premium category product from Bajaj. Hope I have answered your question with some extra details 😁
@@abhishekshrivastav3825 I decided to buy R15 as I'm a student and what's your thoughts on this ?
After listening to your review I think I don't really want that much performance so NS200 or Duke 200 couldn't make it in my list. So R15 or N160 or Honda Unicorn or Hornet 2.0 so I decided to go for R15 as it has performance of 155cc if needed and mileage of 155cc so my family will be happy to see bike eating less fuel
It's a brilliant justification... No doubt.... But I guess speculating the consumer's "NEED" n "WANT"... Anything above 1.2 Lakh price tag, not having a 6th gear is a deal breaker.... I guess Yamaha has faced it quite well... N hv reflected in the sales as wellm... I guess bajaj should sort this conundrum via Marketing (Ads)! And as always the best motoring journalism is right here😎 "."
Sir please suggest me the best one in apache 200 4v vs F250
Most important thing you haven't addressed is the design. The f250 has failed because of its looks
Sumi sir,can you plzs tell me which bike to pick between the updated 2022 tvs Apache rtr 200 dual channel ABS and bajaj pulsar f250. Your answer will be highly appreciated and will be a deciding factor in my buying.thank you
So the NS/RS are better handlers. How about rs200 vs duke 250?
I know one is much more powerful than other, but which one is more friendly/easy to ride fast? I think the new pulsars might be a bit too offortless and uninvolving for me.
Am looking to buy my first bike, a pre-owned one at that.
Believe me Guys if you follow powerdrift seriously then you dont want to see this video because you already know all the answers. Shumi taught us all the things in past videos. He tailored all the answers for pulsar 250's . Powerdrift is a Worthy channel !!!
I like the explanation on the slowness.... its the most rational and justified answer i heard in a long while as a rider.... Thanks very much Sir.....
Just can't wait the range of motorcycles & their performance when shumi becomes the head of R&D of a company.... This man is lit 🔥... This is what reviews are all about👌👌
Banking in so much emotions to a yesterday's pulsar that bajaj decided to stick to a 5th gear transmission👏. No dual channel Abs even for a 250cc bike, no liquid cooled, 130 rear tyre for 250cc, no tft console or bluetooth connectivity. Totally dissapointed bye bye now bajaj
Good riddance!
I can't understand the obsession with TFT display
Do these bikes have a perimeter frame and whats the ground clearance
Is it touring friendly for All India trip?
After 10 months, do you recommend it after using it for this long, is the condition good?
Hahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂, this video single handedly, let's not call it addressed but rather destroyed everyone who's been bitching about the pulsars and pushed them back into their burrows. This was the single most satisfying video I've watched, especially after the not so great review by Varun ( which I didn't expect from him ). Shumi being a boss as usual !!
Is it comfortable for 6 ft tall riders??
pls do this kind of Q&A more not just about 2 wheeler but 4 wheeler also.
What's the maintanence of these two bikes f and n 250
This is how a video should be. The right person, with more than adequate knowledge and a very different and good point of view. Good one.
10:30 , on point Shumi !
Good elaborate answers from you. Always get to hear from you, plz also make video of comparison between yamaha fz 25 & pulsar n25 and f25.
In this video ,,, I learnt more than what I had learnt in my first year of engineering about the IC engines..🥰🥰
An absolutely amazing explaination of the new pulsars
Will really love to see more of these videos shumi ,loved it bro .
🙏 बढिया विडियो सर बजाज के इस नये अवतार से ग्राहकों को बहुत अचछा आपशन मिलेगा बाईक खरीदने के लिए। 👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌🙏🇮🇳
wow! i learnt a lot about motorcycles today. thanks to shumi and pd! pls keep making more of these
help me with riding position for R15 V4, switching from AS200 to R15 V4 I feel so much back pain, will it be hard to commute in traffics! Or is there any way to raise handle bars, I have seen some videos on RUclips for V3 not For V4.
Or shall I do any modifications to make it little extra comfortable to ride in city and highway! Or is it just my mind set that switching from AS200 to V4 is causing these many questions
These have been out for a whole year, and I don't see these at all on the roads in Chennai. Major flop? Supply issues?
You dont need to worry about the ns and rs because they are going to stop making them. Gonna miss a ktm engine at low prices. But I hope the new ns is just amazing and it releases next year. Thanks for the informative video shumi sir.
Waiting for :
1.R250 - replacing rs250 - may it get a racing based engine like cbr 250r - with - 27 ps power
2.N150 , F150 , R150 - may it get a better engine with good engine figures. With - 19 ps power
Very good videos they are !
As you explained that the gearbox (for the pulsar) when in development was ratioed by deciding the first and last gear ratios first and hence filling the gap in between appropriately, and therefore adding the 6th gear would've slotted in between these two (first and last) gear ratios.
But what if while adding the 6th gear, they move the last gear ratio a little taller and hence filling in the gaps which mates to the expected torque demand ?
Bro this is one of your best videos, and thank you for all the info
One of the best analysis on newly launched bikes... Just amazing 👏
Felt like watching behind the scenes of an acclaimed movie
Thanks Shumi
Which 125cc bikes are smooth in gear shifting
Should I buy F250 or apache 160, please guide to buy
Will the ns and rs lose liquid cooling, perimeter fr ame and 6 speed gearbox when they're replaced by this platform😨
Hard to speculate at this point. Stay tuned to our social. We shall let you know as soon as we find out.
Are they good enough as first bikes? For city commuting. What milage they will give?
Anything below 5 Bhp or 5 Nm difference is not really a difference , you would barely notice them. People nowadays get soo hung up numbers, features etc. and most of them will use the bikes in bumper to bumper traffic and maybe atmost 1-2 long trips in a year. Just buy what you like to ride , it doesn't matter if some XYZ on the road has a bike with better features.
My question is
Is the new n250 has the same engine of ns200 or rs00?
Its like it is the same engine bt tuned into different segments?
Or it it is completely a new one?
Both are totally different engines. NS200 is based on Duke 200 engine with liquid cooling and 6 speed transmission. N250 is brand new engine with 5 speed transmission. Both are completely different.
WOW!! this was a great video... it wasnt just about the pulsars but motorcycles in general....Very informative and love the calmness in his voice....keep it coming!!!
