So i bought the N250 in April 2022 for reigniting my love for motorcycles ,mostly for city use. But I end up covering laddakh, kaza, kashmir on it. An all-rounder bike.
Two of the many reasons I am very keen to watch Motorinc's videos are: 1. To listen to great stuff from Shumi 2. To check if my opinions match with those of Shumi's.
Somethings about Bajaj just make no sense: - So many Pulsars and the major updates to them continue to be in terms of stickering (not even paint schemes) - The actual flagship (Dominar 400) continues to have just 2 colour schemes for years - Still hasn't found a way to upgrade the 220F with a new 220F. I am not kidding, I havent seen a single F250 till now. - RS200 showed promise, but has received no update since launch (2015/16)
Because the brand's vision statement is "From Sticke-ring to Nurburg-ring". Even Coke began life as a cough-mixture, or antacid or sumpn' like that. A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.
I did Chennai to Bangalore on my Discover 150S a few months ago. The back and butt pain from that ride really nailed the point of how the Discover is ONLY a commuter and nothing else - and seeing that Bajaj managed to achieve the same result with the N250 despite a 100cc increase is sort of maddening💀
Changes in new N250 are : 1. Wider tyres ( 110 and 140 mm) 2. 300 mm petal disk upfront. 3. Bluetooth with turn by turn navigation. 4. Abs modes for different conditions. 5. New graphics. 6. Traction control. 7. Usd forks. 8. Shorter wheelbase for more agility. All this at just a premium of around rs 900 only❤❤, this is gonna sell like hot cakes now.
I own n250 2024 version and i have done my 500 kms on it this review is purely unbiased. I will be discussing the things i like and the i disliked 1. Power :- this bike has power without saying you will find yourself on 70-80 in city without any hassle and in no time. Riding it on 80 feels like you are riding your bike on 50-60 there are literally no vibrations. 2. Weight is an issue if you are upgrading from a 100 cc bike you will definitely feel the weight while moving it around. 3. Mileage:- I dont rush and general cruise it on 50-60 generally in the cities and i am getting mileage of 42-45 even before 1st service. You can get 45 kms mileage if you ride normally. There are some issues as well which i have faced which are following: 1. The bike is mainly made for cities and not for racing on Highways you feel a lack of power above 110 kmph. 2. Turning radius is very short for me. You will be moving your bike alot to turn it around. 3. Navigation is average - i would say not good not bad. Overall its a great commuter+ powerful bike and it will give you immense joy in riding it in cities rather than on long highways.
@@devrajsingh9900 this is average fuel economy before 1st service after 1st service i get 37 to 40 but after 1st service you'll feel the difference in power too
@@jayjohnxActually good over dry patches and bumbs...but above 80kmph,still the suspension will absorb bumbs,but the bike will feel jumpy,like spring rebound action towards handlebar...You will get used to it once you ride the bike...
I just DIScovered that Bajaj DIScontinued the DIScover brand!? I still remember the old advertisement "odi baba". Discover too was aspirational and brought style to the 125 segment back in the day. Why even?
@@54anurag my bad, i must me be mixing the two in my head Still the point remains, Bajaj's branding was on point back in the day. That rock version of Hamara Bajaj with Pulsar 220 is iconic to this day!
I wanted to say thanks to this team. I just got the N150 last week & it's been a brilliant experience :) One reason I even did a test ride was the comparison between P150 and N160 from Motorinc, so thanks for that. Overall fit & finish, exhaust sound, good enough power, projector, good seating for rider & pillion with a great look in its white avatar. Kick start is always handy as starting my yamaha szr without battery is something I don't want to experience ever again. Mileage seems to be around 55 which is much more than I expected. Whether it should have the Pulsar brand or not, this is just an excellent motorcycle. Would have preferred a little more power and dual abs, but as a package, this is just very nicely put together. Good work from Bajaj!
@@rajatnaahar i tool a test ride on it. It just wasn't comfortable. The seat height was just a little too high (I'm 5'6'') and the turning radius is clearly more limited than other bikes, so trying to turn the bike near the showroom on the side of the road was such a hassle. The engine also stopped twice during the ride which never happened on any other test ride on hornet 2.0 or pulsar. The balance with the pillion just seemed off for some reason. Also when shifting gear the indicator just goes blank the moment clutch is activated which makes it rather useless and also not the same behaviour as on the other 2 bikes. Plus the pillion seat didn't seem very comfortable for older women which i needed it to be and the kick start is something I was looking for as I've had bad experiences in the past with self start. The projector was also a plus on Pulsar and the exhaust sound is just so good on it as well.
I still ride a Discover 100 and always do I love riding it (clocked over 1L kms then simply lost count), so I'd like to believe that I've 'discover'ed a worthy update to my current motorcycle!🎉
I fully agree on curating the product line; it's time they trim the Pulsar line and keep it simple. I saw the OG Pulsar on my commute the other day, and it reminded me that Pulsar meant that punchy, muscular bike from the 2000s. That's what it should be.
I rplaced my 9 year old 200 NS with N250 this February ( before the update) for following reasons. 1. Softer suspension paricularly for the pillion. None of my pillion riders liked the hard suspension. 2. Smooth engine with a good exhaust note. 3.Marginally better mileage than 200 NS. 4. For the past 5 years my highway rides have become very rare. My observations after 1000kms 1. Handling is no where comparable to 200 NS and i am ok with it. 2. Ride over bad road is excellent.( i used to stand on the pegs of 200 NS over bad roads). The only other bike i teat rode was the Duke 250 and it is really sharp in handling but the suspension is as hard as 200 NS. The deciding factor for me is ride comfort and i love my N250(pre facelift). I believe there is a market for riders who want to replace their sporty machines with a more accomodating machine (as the rider become older).
@@balakrishnanselva1361 and last final question between Hunter 350 and N250 which is better deal in all aspects I liked hunter also but I heard it cause too much heat at thighs area and And also some times later we will see tappet sounds thats why I am worried to take hunter 350 What is your thoughts on this? Between N250 and Hunter 350 which is Better?
I rode a Suzuki Gs150r for 10 hours straight (only 4 10 min breaks in between) without any discomfort. I recently tried my friend's NS250 and after about 1.5 hours my body started giving me signals to get off of it.
As someone who owns both bikes, NS200 is way better for long tours. Yes the seat is harder but honestly it is better for longer rides from what I have experienced
1. 10/10 for summary (specially the sad, disappointed face) 2. The last 5 minutes was awesome ❤ 3. Both of you , not once said take a test ride , means it's a no go 😅 not even 1% 4. 🤞 I will discover a 40bhp 😂 before 2025 5. You two are awesome guys. Big fan ❤🙏
They won't tell people to take test rides in many of the videos...So that doesn't mean,you don't have to take a test ride...They are sharing their views and their preferences may be different to your taste...So just go take a test ride and decide...
I live in Bangalore and I haven’t seen a single new pulsar on the roads till date. Believe me I have really looked. People find more value in tvs or hero these days. Bajaj have shot themselves in the foot by diluting and then making a complete mess of the pulsar brand. There is no clear understanding as to what this bike is.
Bruh, have you seen the pulsar 125 sales ? It's through the roof ! The whole point of a strong brand is sell more bikes in it's name and fame . You must understand how marketing works.
Arent you guys being a wee bit too negative? It's a competent bike for the price! You have to remember the Dominar 400 and 250 each was launched at around 1.5L ex showroom (1st lot) they wanted to have "something" at that price point. Unfortunately that's is how MBAs (most often mid level managers) see the lineup not in terms of BHP(not hating just being real). And cus our country is so diverse, there's a crazy elastic overlapping demand for various similar branded stuff at different price point! Bajaj wanted to replace the 220F as well, it had diminishing but stable demand paying customers tanked the sale of the F250 to get the 220F back. Corporate Investor concall presentation Over:P
I think the Pulsar brand is being hurt because Bajaj is focused more on KTM and other partnerships. I just hope that they discover the falw in their execution and give this brand the love and attention it deserves.
Bluetooth connectivity is a very USEFUL feature. My phone camera stabilization got damaged because of handlebar vibrations. Now I switched to a motorcycle with bluetooth TBT navigation on speedometer. It works 95% as good as a phone navigation mounted on the handlebar.
I have an MT-15 with Bluetooth and haven't used it after the first month. I find it much easier to have the phone in my pocket with navigation turned ON and connected to my Bluetooth earphones.
@@ramboog2654 I use the Noise buds Venus. However, I'd recommend a Bluetooth communicator over this as you have a better sense of what's going around you because they don't suppress the ambient noise which can be critical in emergency situations.
The DISCOVERy of this channel made me DISCOVER a informative side of two guys just talking about vehicles because they let us DISCOVER the world of vehicles in a fun way I also DISCOVERed the fact that every time Mr.Shumi said DISCOVER I laughed so hard that I had to rewind the video by 20 seconds to listen to them again because my laugh would cover what they are saying Thank you for making my morning fun 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I can help Bajaj with their lineup: -> retire the, 150cc, engines -> fuse the dominar and Adventure Sport (AS) lineup, with the dominar being a nameplate for a more serious off-roader (AS400 Dominar) -> get rid of the Platina line completely -> Dal Chawal bike CT 110X CT 125X -> Commuter: D125 D160 D250 -> faired discover: DF250 (make the fairing beefier, the entire appeal of the 220f was the muscular fairing) -> naked sport pulsars: ns125 (liquid cooled) ns200 ns400 -> faired sport pulsars: fs125 (liquid cooled) fs200 fs400 -> adventure sport pulsars: as250 (liquid cooled) AS250 Dominar (liquid cooled) AS400 AS400 Dominar -> cruisers: avenger 250 avenger 400 (it was an eliminator to begin with, I don't see anything wrong with turning the avenger into a Japanese liquid-cooled sport bike engine cruiser. Plus the avenger would do a FAR better job of being a cruiser than the dominar) A shit-load of bikes? yes. But is there at least a FAR more clear demarcation of roles of each bike? Absolutely.
@@Anurag-er5xq I felt once Bajaj enters the larger displacement market, they’ll need names to at least stand out. Aprilia already had the RS name for a long time, all the other 400-500 class bikes have more distinguishable identifiers RC: KTM RS: Aprilia YZF-R: Yamaha Ninja: Kawasaki ZX: Kawasaki RR: TVS/BMW (same bike) GSXR/Gixxer: Suzuki CBR: Honda Having a different name will help the faired pulsars stand out, and considering a letter F in pulsars always seems to stoke lovely memories (barring the f250 cus the fairing was barely there), using the F moniker properly will seriously help marketing
The N250 to a new rider like me is better than the NS200. Why? Yes the NS has a better engine. And is much more agile and responsive. But. The N250 is 2x 3x time more stable under absolute hard braking. The NS wobbles as a result of it being really responsive to your inputs. And that stability gives me more confidence to keep the throttle pinned.
i am kinda sad i think this bike had potential to be great for someone who was going for 160 cc but could save 20-30k more to get a 25 ps 250 cc machine i hope they improve
I still remember the first time I saw a Pulsar 220F in red back in 7th grade; it was purely magical. I immediately became obsessed with motorcycles. And in 2014, when I saw the CBR250R Repsol edition, I was in awe-those were the golden days. Nothing comes close to the CBR 250R! What a beauty! Those days are gone nothing feels magical anymore! Too many motorcycles on social media I've lost the feeling of excitement & anticipation
Rightly said 4:59 , OMG you guys are gem trust me. I brought F250 the only reason why i brought this because of 220f. Not even one single word you guys said wrong just amazing content. Bajaj watching your videos just shows your progress guys. Keep rocking with #truth
The whole video is 10/10.... Been following both Shumi and Kartikeya from the days of zigwheels and Powerdrifts. I love the way you guys present your thoughts and are never in a rush to put a video on your channel... Keep the same way..more n more to go...
I feel like 'first impressions' got a lot more traction than you guys expected it to, and now most of the videos are long-form content (I love it), where the dads of the Indian motorcycling community discuss a lot more than just the bike in question. So, when KTM came to India and I saw their bikes on the road, I thought "who asked for these?" and overtime I realized that maybe it was not something we asked for but needed, to grow as motorcyclists. And MotorInc is similar in the sense that I didn't know I wanted it, but it was a real breath of fresh air for the Indian motorcycle journalism. I am so happy both of you made the decision to make your own channel and take a different approach.
How are you able to judge if a motorcycle is good when your type of bike is a fast revving and exciting bike? For example, how can you say the Classic 350 is a good bike when the type of bike you love is almost opposite of that bike, a 390?
Hey Motorinc! I love your content for motorcycle enthusiasts! But have you considered reaching out to folks who are new to the world of two (or even four) wheels? I'd love to see a series that combines two ideas: *Top 5 Motorcycles for Different Riders:** This could cater to job types, riding styles (power, mileage, off-road), etc. * **Understanding Bikes & Cars for Beginners:** This would explain key features, different types, and what to consider when buying. This combination would be a fantastic resource for complete newcomers! Maybe even expanding this into a video series
Just discovered your channel and gotta say its the first moto enthusiasm channel since Fortnine that has impressed me so much with the informative presentation maturity it has. Eloquence, Precise, Practical Godspeed bearded calm voice guy. May this vibe never change and this channel will boom up, internationally even
A small tip for bajaj. 1. Platina brand (100cc / 125cc) for commuting 2. Discover (150-200 cc) 3. Pulsar (180 above) sports naked and sports fully faired 4. Dominar (above 300) for touring and adventure touring.
These companies still thinking that celebrities will increase their sales shows how cringey they are. There good bikes increase sales and not celebrities
@@motorinc You would not believe me i was listening to this video and minimized it(yt premium feature) and then looked for the classic 350 video on members only playlist made that comment there and bam now i look stupid. Tell me if someone new never saw those great videos why the hell he would even become a member. To me classic 350 review was an art work.
A lot of people love automobiles and like talking about them but these guys seem like they are completely themselves when they speak. Would love to meet them some day. Thanks for the content.
Imo this bike is an all-rounder! Probably not the best in class, but whatever we want it to do in day to day usage, it does very very well. Now it got features, wider rear tyres which does elevate its looks and stance as well. Its priced so well too if we look into the current automobile market trajectory. I would deadass buy this over the likes of MT15, FZ25, Apache 200, CB300F etc etc etc.
Hello team, Great conversation. However I'm still confused by the end of the video. What do you mean by weird suspension? You have not clearly explained it, You said 'not weird in the sense of unsafe, but you won't have a good time riding the bike', what does this mean? So do you mean it does not fall in sportier section nor comfort section, so what does this bike offer? Should we consider it if this is my first bike or look for other options in 250cc. I would request you to clarify this. Also give me what are best bikes available in 250cc to check out. Thank you in advance.
The NS200 was lightning in a bottle, I can't imagine bajaj as they are now make that magic happen again.. I don't understand what's been happening to bajaj, they really let die many great bikes. Instead of a n150,160, ns125,160, etc.. i wish they continued/ updated the RS200, the AS200(an exceptional tourer) and more unique pulsars lost to time.(Some of them weren't even bajaj's fault 😂). Anyways hoping for the best with the 400s, really sweet would be they update the dominar also.(The real actual flagship.)
Also, most of the above pulsar's failure comes down to some honestly goofy styling and their lax attitude towards updates.. getting it right with the 400s is of utmost importance.
13:05 Nobody else has brought that up in their stories. That's because everyone else is a spec sheet reader disguising themselves as "auto journalists".
But was the Pulsar not introduced as a sporty commuter in the 1st place? And I can't recall any pulsar barring the ns and the rs to be outright sporty. So, I don't understand how the n250 which is a technologically superior pulsar any less pulsar-y than the existing line-up??!!
It seems like both of them personally hate N250. I have read a lot of comments below, in which it has been found that they are recommending MT or some other brand. So, this is really a big concern. Guys, please watch carefully comments and other RUclips channels. It is not honest review.
@Rahu_Rai: We will continue to recommend bikes we think riders will enjoy riding, no matter how it makes you feel. And please do feel free to disagree with our recommendations, and buy whatever you think is best of you. However, if you don't trust us, please do not watch MotorInc. Accusing us of being dishonest is going to get you absolutely _nowhere_ here.
Bro id suggest you stop comparing all pulsars with ktms and adrenaline Bajaj made it to target a particular category called commuting and it does that perfectly and with comfort so what's with all the critisism?
Oh we would as soon as Bajaj set the expectations for Pulsar buyers correctly by saying that these were commuters. The ads and marketing sell excitement, so we must lay out of the user experience for the prospective buyer-rider clearly
I always love it when you guys get together and have a podcast on the bikes......and you speak so transparently and genuinely, have been watching you guys for years and just love the work..... especially when shumi brings up BLUETOOTH 😂😂it's lovely
I wish i can select a bike after watching your videos shumi, but the way you stress the negative points on each bike i cant choose one, still seeing where you fully impressed with one or atleast the stress on negative points is little low, lets see who is that lucky manufacturer…
That's why were are here! Ask us! Do remember that every motorcycle will have positives and negatives. That's not a problem, we're trying to find a combination of plus/minus that works as closely as possible with your hopes, dreams and expectations.
The AS200/400 with Scrambler 400x suspension is an excellent thought and pretty sure it will reside in our garage as well in hearts for substantial time.
2007 university road pune night 1 am 4 roomates - me on unicorn race first to 100 defeating 2 pulsar 150s 3rd and 4th gen) but ultimately beaten by p220 at 111kmph. the p220 killed the karizma once and for all
2 things I have a favour and my wishes to you guys. 1. I am planning on buying a bike RE INTERCEPTOR is my first love ( for reference I am Ladakh kind of person fond of hills and that journey) Considering that My interest goes towards scrambler 400X. If you could compare those two I think it will be of great help for me to choose from. I know there are better touring and adventure bikes for that purpose but I just wanna choose between these 2. •Second thing Your videos and that in depth knowledge of every single component of bikes, car really helped me alot in a proper education of these motor mechanics. Thank you for making that info understandable enough for people to make these choices. Posting it on every video till i get my answer 😂
Hi motorinc team. Brought a scrambler 400x after watching shumi's ride impression. It actually is like what he said. I know what to expect bcoz of motorinc and shumi. Thank you. I m really enjoying the motorcycle except the horrible rpm meter.
i have no intention of buying this or ns200 either but love your content from day one,have lost track of time in this conversation. loved the insights where shumi have given on the Bosch traction control. Love you guys just like the content, YOU ARE NEXT TOP GEAR by even making a new benchmark.
one thing I am really worried about is the comment section, I love how you guys are engaged in the comments but when the subscribers are high and comments go to lakhs how are you gonna manage, if you have to manage this then you need a big team, which might lead to diversifiable answers
35 minutes well spent and as you guys said it would be a better D250 instead of N250 but after listening to the closing comments, now I'm curios to hear your opinion about Higness350 please make a video on it as well.
Its a tough job for kartik and shumi to remember all the pulsar name and features so that they give a good summary It seems like BAJAJ doing prank with shumi and krathik
That 40bhp section was so on point. I had almost zeroed on a 25bhp bike but thankfully i changed my decision last minute and bought Triumph scrambler 400x.
Thank you for another true to the facts, no nonsense video. I had previously posted a query regards to the pay load capacity of a bike, and why most reviewers do not cover it, with India predominantly having single bike garages. Looking at the numerous comments your videos garner, not surprised about the query getting lost. Hope this one gets a response. It would help if you can talk about it when you talk about the kerb weight, as gross weight is not found in brochures for most vehicles.
Hey Jeswin! Can you please explain what would be the utility of discussing GVW on a vehicle that's designed to carry two people at most with a limited amount of luggage?
Hi, thanks for getting back. I weigh about 70 kg and my wife about 60 kg, I first considered the RTR 200 but from its GVM, I found it could carry a payload of 130kg, so me and my wife on it would be loading it nearly to the full limit. The Ronin too has the same payload. The Pulsar 160 and 250 have about 150kg payload capacity. The Honda cb200x 170kg and so on. I went for the Pulsar due to this reason, though I preferred the RTR. This is my line of thought. Thanks.
First of all, great video. Really enjoyed listening to it. I'm a 25 year old looking for my first bike. I do have my heart set on two bikes (Hero Xtreme 125R and the Bajaj N250). I know these two bikes are different in terms of segment but I want something that I won't outgrow for a few years given I need it primarily for commuting and occasional weekend rides to Lonavla, etc. I do like the value both these bikes provide at their price point which is my main consideration. Please recommend.
I think i have cracked the pulsar lineup. The OG pulsar 125, 150 and 220F is for those who are still not ready to accept new design language. NS series is for those who want a sportier pulsars. And N series is basically targeting customers who want bike only for commuting basically N series is the commuter in the skin of naked streetfighters.
It's a great informative video in fact I love watching your videos. May be it's only me who thinks it's too long and should be confined to 15 min or something because I think people hardly watch videos for 30min or more on RUclips.
Karthik's short summary was precise and easy to understand.. Shumi, everytime i see your reciew something new..but is it true Pulsar 500 Flagship bike twin..
Bajaj is all over the place with their models. Hopefully, the triumph partnership leads to some really good products ahead. Also, maybe Bajaj is slacking as they sell in huge number and have been fan favourtes for a long time? Amazing video!
I'm pretty much interested in a pulsar which has.. Body of 220 with improved fairing (same shape but build quality is up) Coupled with the new 250 engine, upside down forks, digital console, improved brakes, wider tyres, all led setup without changing the old headlight design. "This would be a perfect faired motorcycle in 250 category" unlike the f250.
When there a wave of long distance riders in India suddenly due to RUclips and Instagram influencers, I fail to understand why Bajaj has ignored Avenger line-up for a decade now. They are launching a new pulsar every week and the OG most comfortable cruiser Avenger is still sold without a disc in rear and an engine that struggles to go beyond 80kph. Such a shame!
I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the RS 200! Maybe there's a new updated version in the works? Personally, I think it's a real flagship for Bajaj! 😊
Your discussions make my Sunday morning! There are so many mods of Royal Enfields which people in other countries do to improve performance. We rarely see such things in Pulsars and Apaches. I wonder if Fuel XPro, Powertronics, etc. can bring back the sportiness in the N series..... Perhaps you guys should do that!
I feel the urge to watch Discovery again, I wonder why...(after hearing discover jokes for 30 minutes straight) I was either smirking with Shumi or laughing with Kartikeya the whole time. Ahh, wonderful. . Waiting on S2 of "yOu kNow wHaT", I know for sure, if it's talking time, it's gonna be bomb! Happy Motoring and let's keep celebrating these enablers for a little longer. Thanks for making motoring fun again. For the joy of it!✌️❤
As a starter, can N250 come as a better vehicle for me I am upgrading from a regular 110cc bike and I see that N250 does provide me an extra safety net. Please suggest and a huge fan of your videos Shumi and Kartik
I don't understand why the Discover brand was discontinued. It was a pretty solid 125cc/110cc bike with wonderful street creds. The interesting part is, the Discover is still sold in other countries.
Nice video, as always. 👌 Specifically for the Pulsars, I feel like mentioning the model under discussion on the screen will help the viewers coz at least I got confused a few times as to which model is being discussed.. 😁
If you own a bike , say below 200cc and want to upgrade to 200-250cc , you need to watch from here 31:17 . That 40bhp magic wisdom from shumi is the best info you would want in making your next bike purchasing decision/confusion sorted out.
So i bought the N250 in April 2022 for reigniting my love for motorcycles ,mostly for city use. But I end up covering laddakh, kaza, kashmir on it. An all-rounder bike.
Awesome! Glad you're enjoying your experience Rajnish!
@@motorinc thanks, but sold it last year.
@@rajnishdhull333what resale value did you get. Can you give a range

Do you ever felt lack of 6th gear in your long journey?
And is liquid cooled engine is really that good than oil cooled engine?
Two of the many reasons I am very keen to watch Motorinc's videos are:
1. To listen to great stuff from Shumi
2. To check if my opinions match with those of Shumi's.
Thanks Deepak! What did you think about today's episode?
As usual fantastic 🎉.
The other guy needs to improve (Not Shumi)
Great! @@motorinc
Somethings about Bajaj just make no sense:
- So many Pulsars and the major updates to them continue to be in terms of stickering (not even paint schemes)
- The actual flagship (Dominar 400) continues to have just 2 colour schemes for years
- Still hasn't found a way to upgrade the 220F with a new 220F. I am not kidding, I havent seen a single F250 till now.
- RS200 showed promise, but has received no update since launch (2015/16)
Thanks for sharing your perspective!
The stickering so far seems to be pretty average
Because the brand's vision statement is "From Sticke-ring to Nurburg-ring". Even Coke began life as a cough-mixture, or antacid or sumpn' like that. A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.
Why would they bother updating the RS200 when it makes so little money?
@@roguexivan2909 are you stupid? its bringing less money because its not updated
One Pulsar/Week
With all these pulsar together , This will take whole another 6 months 😂
🤣
Sunday brunch, with Shumi's video perfect weekend ❤❤❤
One pulsar a week, keeps the line up weak.
High time for Bajaj to launch a adv with a sizable engine.
I did Chennai to Bangalore on my Discover 150S a few months ago. The back and butt pain from that ride really nailed the point of how the Discover is ONLY a commuter and nothing else - and seeing that Bajaj managed to achieve the same result with the N250 despite a 100cc increase is sort of maddening💀
😆
Changes in new N250 are :
1. Wider tyres ( 110 and 140 mm)
2. 300 mm petal disk upfront.
3. Bluetooth with turn by turn navigation.
4. Abs modes for different conditions.
5. New graphics.
6. Traction control.
7. Usd forks.
8. Shorter wheelbase for more agility.
All this at just a premium of around rs 900 only❤❤, this is gonna sell like hot cakes now.
Thanks for the summary, @ampassionstruck9138!
I own n250 2024 version and i have done my 500 kms on it this review is purely unbiased. I will be discussing the things i like and the i disliked
1. Power :- this bike has power without saying you will find yourself on 70-80 in city without any hassle and in no time. Riding it on 80 feels like you are riding your bike on 50-60 there are literally no vibrations.
2. Weight is an issue if you are upgrading from a 100 cc bike you will definitely feel the weight while moving it around.
3. Mileage:- I dont rush and general cruise it on 50-60 generally in the cities and i am getting mileage of 42-45 even before 1st service. You can get 45 kms mileage if you ride normally.
There are some issues as well which i have faced which are following:
1. The bike is mainly made for cities and not for racing on Highways you feel a lack of power above 110 kmph.
2. Turning radius is very short for me. You will be moving your bike alot to turn it around.
3. Navigation is average - i would say not good not bad.
Overall its a great commuter+ powerful bike and it will give you immense joy in riding it in cities rather than on long highways.
This is mid mileage or tank to tank mileage 🎉???????
@@devrajsingh9900 this is average fuel economy before 1st service after 1st service i get 37 to 40 but after 1st service you'll feel the difference in power too

How is the bike suspension when going over bad patches of roads and potholes
@@jayjohnxActually good over dry patches and bumbs...but above 80kmph,still the suspension will absorb bumbs,but the bike will feel jumpy,like spring rebound action towards handlebar...You will get used to it once you ride the bike...
I just DIScovered that Bajaj DIScontinued the DIScover brand!? I still remember the old advertisement "odi baba". Discover too was aspirational and brought style to the 125 segment back in the day.
Why even?
Wasn't that for caliber?
Well spotted Anurag! Discover had Jackie Chan!
@@54anurag my bad, i must me be mixing the two in my head
Still the point remains, Bajaj's branding was on point back in the day.
That rock version of Hamara Bajaj with Pulsar 220 is iconic to this day!
Hoodibaba was a Caliber 115 (111.6cc). I had one.
Really, discover discontinued? So Pulsar is now a Discover! Where is the Pulsar then?
I wanted to say thanks to this team. I just got the N150 last week & it's been a brilliant experience :) One reason I even did a test ride was the comparison between P150 and N160 from Motorinc, so thanks for that. Overall fit & finish, exhaust sound, good enough power, projector, good seating for rider & pillion with a great look in its white avatar. Kick start is always handy as starting my yamaha szr without battery is something I don't want to experience ever again. Mileage seems to be around 55 which is much more than I expected.
Whether it should have the Pulsar brand or not, this is just an excellent motorcycle. Would have preferred a little more power and dual abs, but as a package, this is just very nicely put together. Good work from Bajaj!
Thanks T! Lovely to hear from you!
Congrats on the new bike. Why didn't you go for the 160 4v Apache?
@@rajatnaahar i tool a test ride on it. It just wasn't comfortable. The seat height was just a little too high (I'm 5'6'') and the turning radius is clearly more limited than other bikes, so trying to turn the bike near the showroom on the side of the road was such a hassle. The engine also stopped twice during the ride which never happened on any other test ride on hornet 2.0 or pulsar. The balance with the pillion just seemed off for some reason. Also when shifting gear the indicator just goes blank the moment clutch is activated which makes it rather useless and also not the same behaviour as on the other 2 bikes.
Plus the pillion seat didn't seem very comfortable for older women which i needed it to be and the kick start is something I was looking for as I've had bad experiences in the past with self start. The projector was also a plus on Pulsar and the exhaust sound is just so good on it as well.
I still ride a Discover 100 and always do I love riding it (clocked over 1L kms then simply lost count), so I'd like to believe that I've 'discover'ed a worthy update to my current motorcycle!🎉
Really hope that the NS400 exceed all expectations but not in weight class like Dominor as being a 200 kg titan with 40 HP
Indeed!
I fully agree on curating the product line; it's time they trim the Pulsar line and keep it simple. I saw the OG Pulsar on my commute the other day, and it reminded me that Pulsar meant that punchy, muscular bike from the 2000s. That's what it should be.
Agreed! Thanks Chandler!
I remember learning to ride on my brother's Pulsar 150 in 2008. It was awesome time..
Sad to see what a mess they have made out of the brand Pulsar..😢
Oh man! What colour was it?
@@motorinc
It was black..
What colour is your pulsar 150😅@@motorinc
17:33 Editor-san! That was sneaky af!!😂
What?!
editor clearly meant that N250 does feel like dominar but like a parody🤣 @ramboog2654
🤣 Unintentional!
I rplaced my 9 year old 200 NS with N250 this February ( before the update) for following reasons.
1. Softer suspension paricularly for the pillion. None of my pillion riders liked the hard suspension.
2. Smooth engine with a good exhaust note.
3.Marginally better mileage than 200 NS.
4. For the past 5 years my highway rides have become very rare.
My observations after 1000kms
1. Handling is no where comparable to 200 NS and i am ok with it.
2. Ride over bad road is excellent.( i used to stand on the pegs of 200 NS over bad roads).
The only other bike i teat rode was the Duke 250 and it is really sharp in handling but the suspension is as hard as 200 NS.
The deciding factor for me is ride comfort and i love my N250(pre facelift).
I believe there is a market for riders who want to replace their sporty machines with a more accomodating machine (as the rider become older).
Excellent! Thank you so much for this @BalaKrishnanSelva1361. This will help others immensely!
How is pillion comfort for long rides like 150kms in N250
@@rakeshcj3773 Significantly better than NS200 because of softer suspension setup.

And also some times later we will see tappet sounds thats why I am worried to take hunter 350
What is your thoughts on this?
Between N250 and Hunter 350 which is Better?
I rode a Suzuki Gs150r for 10 hours straight (only 4 10 min breaks in between) without any discomfort. I recently tried my friend's NS250 and after about 1.5 hours my body started giving me signals to get off of it.
As someone who owns both bikes, NS200 is way better for long tours. Yes the seat is harder but honestly it is better for longer rides from what I have experienced
Thanks for letting us know! Kartik and Njanshalu!
1. 10/10 for summary (specially the sad, disappointed face)
2. The last 5 minutes was awesome ❤
3. Both of you , not once said take a test ride , means it's a no go 😅 not even 1%

5. You two are awesome guys. Big fan ❤🙏
Thank you so much S!
They won't tell people to take test rides in many of the videos...So that doesn't mean,you don't have to take a test ride...They are sharing their views and their preferences may be different to your taste...So just go take a test ride and decide...
I live in Bangalore and I haven’t seen a single new pulsar on the roads till date. Believe me I have really looked. People find more value in tvs or hero these days. Bajaj have shot themselves in the foot by diluting and then making a complete mess of the pulsar brand. There is no clear understanding as to what this bike is.
In Pune and Mumbai it's a different story. I see A LOT of N160 and some N250.
Also a lot of NS200.
I am from Assam and it's actually opposite here. Ratio wise 7 Pulsar N160/N150 : 3 RTR 160 4v and am yet to spot any Xtreme 160R 4V on road 😅
N160 is very popular here in bengal.
Bruh, have you seen the pulsar 125 sales ? It's through the roof ! The whole point of a strong brand is sell more bikes in it's name and fame . You must understand how marketing works.
Same in Hyderabad
Arent you guys being a wee bit too negative? It's a competent bike for the price! You have to remember the Dominar 400 and 250 each was launched at around 1.5L ex showroom (1st lot) they wanted to have "something" at that price point. Unfortunately that's is how MBAs (most often mid level managers) see the lineup not in terms of BHP(not hating just being real). And cus our country is so diverse, there's a crazy elastic overlapping demand for various similar branded stuff at different price point!
Bajaj wanted to replace the 220F as well, it had diminishing but stable demand paying customers tanked the sale of the F250 to get the 220F back.
Corporate Investor concall presentation Over:P
Well said 🤘
Yeah.. this one isn't that wierd.
I think the Pulsar brand is being hurt because Bajaj is focused more on KTM and other partnerships. I just hope that they discover the falw in their execution and give this brand the love and attention it deserves.
Agreed! And we see what you did there!
@@motorinc epic discovery! :P
Small kids are sitting on the Bajaj top management level, they are playing around with their toys
Bluetooth connectivity is a very USEFUL feature. My phone camera stabilization got damaged because of handlebar vibrations. Now I switched to a motorcycle with bluetooth TBT navigation on speedometer. It works 95% as good as a phone navigation mounted on the handlebar.
I have an MT-15 with Bluetooth and haven't used it after the first month. I find it much easier to have the phone in my pocket with navigation turned ON and connected to my Bluetooth earphones.
Thanks for letting us know Goutham!
@@Beginyourridinghey, hii…which bluetooth earphones are you using inside the helmet?!
@@Beginyourridingya found this much better in most of the scenarios in my case as well
@@ramboog2654 I use the Noise buds Venus. However, I'd recommend a Bluetooth communicator over this as you have a better sense of what's going around you because they don't suppress the ambient noise which can be critical in emergency situations.

Good morning and happy Sunday!
Very true
The DISCOVERy of this channel made me DISCOVER a informative side of two guys just talking about vehicles because they let us DISCOVER the world of vehicles in a fun way
I also DISCOVERed the fact that every time Mr.Shumi said DISCOVER I laughed so hard that I had to rewind the video by 20 seconds to listen to them again because my laugh would cover what they are saying
Thank you for making my morning fun 🙏🏼🙏🏼
You're welcome Vinayak! Glad you enjoyed the watch!
Can't wait for the NS400 review from you guys.. Love you shumi and kartikya
Thank you so much! We believe we're riding them in May
I can help Bajaj with their lineup:
-> retire the, 150cc, engines
-> fuse the dominar and Adventure Sport (AS) lineup, with the dominar being a nameplate for a more serious off-roader (AS400 Dominar)
-> get rid of the Platina line completely
-> Dal Chawal bike
CT 110X
CT 125X
-> Commuter:
D125
D160
D250
-> faired discover:
DF250 (make the fairing beefier, the entire appeal of the 220f was the muscular fairing)
-> naked sport pulsars:
ns125 (liquid cooled)
ns200
ns400
-> faired sport pulsars:
fs125 (liquid cooled)
fs200
fs400
-> adventure sport pulsars:
as250 (liquid cooled)
AS250 Dominar (liquid cooled)
AS400
AS400 Dominar
-> cruisers:
avenger 250
avenger 400 (it was an eliminator to begin with, I don't see anything wrong with turning the avenger into a Japanese liquid-cooled sport bike engine cruiser. Plus the avenger would do a FAR better job of being a cruiser than the dominar)
A shit-load of bikes? yes. But is there at least a FAR more clear demarcation of roles of each bike? Absolutely.
Bajaj be like -acha thik hai samjha Gaya 😂😂😂
Why fs? there is already rs out there
@@Anurag-er5xq I felt once Bajaj enters the larger displacement market, they’ll need names to at least stand out. Aprilia already had the RS name for a long time, all the other 400-500 class bikes have more distinguishable identifiers
RC: KTM
RS: Aprilia
YZF-R: Yamaha
Ninja: Kawasaki
ZX: Kawasaki
RR: TVS/BMW (same bike)
GSXR/Gixxer: Suzuki
CBR: Honda
Having a different name will help the faired pulsars stand out, and considering a letter F in pulsars always seems to stoke lovely memories (barring the f250 cus the fairing was barely there), using the F moniker properly will seriously help marketing
@@kruzerblade4740 fs doesn't sound appealing at all dude .
That's a 15 year plan at least 😆
The N250 to a new rider like me is better than the NS200. Why? Yes the NS has a better engine. And is much more agile and responsive. But. The N250 is 2x 3x time more stable under absolute hard braking. The NS wobbles as a result of it being really responsive to your inputs. And that stability gives me more confidence to keep the throttle pinned.
Fair @sahilhakani5220. Thanks for sharing!
i am kinda sad i think this bike had potential to be great for someone who was going for 160 cc but could save 20-30k more to get a 25 ps 250 cc machine i hope they improve
We do too…
I still remember the first time I saw a Pulsar 220F in red back in 7th grade; it was purely magical. I immediately became obsessed with motorcycles. And in 2014, when I saw the CBR250R Repsol edition, I was in awe-those were the golden days. Nothing comes close to the CBR 250R! What a beauty!
Those days are gone nothing feels magical anymore! Too many motorcycles on social media I've lost the feeling of excitement & anticipation
A pulsar was the start of the episode...❤
🤜🏽🤛🏽
Rightly said 4:59 , OMG you guys are gem trust me.
I brought F250 the only reason why i brought this because of 220f.
Not even one single word you guys said wrong just amazing content.

Keep rocking with #truth
Thanks Hemant! Glad you enjoyed the watch!
The whole video is 10/10.... Been following both Shumi and Kartikeya from the days of zigwheels and Powerdrifts. I love the way you guys present your thoughts and are never in a rush to put a video on your channel... Keep the same way..more n more to go...
Thanks Siman! Good to see comments from you regularly!
@@motorinc ❤️
What a class! Thoroughly analysed! You guys are absolutely killing it!
Thank you @777southpaw!
I know it is extremely outdated, but can you make a video about the 220f ?
Or that era of Motorcycles in India,
Thank you. ❤
Noted! The OG flagship! Would be great to revisit it.
I feel like 'first impressions' got a lot more traction than you guys expected it to, and now most of the videos are long-form content (I love it), where the dads of the Indian motorcycling community discuss a lot more than just the bike in question. So, when KTM came to India and I saw their bikes on the road, I thought "who asked for these?" and overtime I realized that maybe it was not something we asked for but needed, to grow as motorcyclists. And MotorInc is similar in the sense that I didn't know I wanted it, but it was a real breath of fresh air for the Indian motorcycle journalism. I am so happy both of you made the decision to make your own channel and take a different approach.
How are you able to judge if a motorcycle is good when your type of bike is a fast revving and exciting bike? For example, how can you say the Classic 350 is a good bike when the type of bike you love is almost opposite of that bike, a 390?
Hey Motorinc!
I love your content for motorcycle enthusiasts! But have you considered reaching out to folks who are new to the world of two (or even four) wheels?
I'd love to see a series that combines two ideas:
*Top 5 Motorcycles for Different Riders:** This could cater to job types, riding styles (power, mileage, off-road), etc.
* **Understanding Bikes & Cars for Beginners:** This would explain key features, different types, and what to consider when buying.
This combination would be a fantastic resource for complete newcomers! Maybe even expanding this into a video series
Was the pulsar 220 that good at cornering?
I always thought it was like a 2000s mustang, good for only the straight line
You got the nail on the head! It was a muscle car on two wheels!
@@motorinc and that's what people loved?
Love. Present tense 😬
@@alsa4realyou are right about 220f, it doesn't like slow speed corners at all, above 90, 100 it is stable, likes long sweeping corners.

33:16😂 that was totally unexpected but still accurate in another comparison.

A small tip for bajaj.
1. Platina brand (100cc / 125cc) for commuting
2. Discover (150-200 cc)
3. Pulsar (180 above) sports naked and sports fully faired
4. Dominar (above 300) for touring and adventure touring.
Motorcycle brands should stop hiring celebrity in commercial, instead cast Shumi. We will buy that bike with our eyes closed 🔐
Shumi standards!
These companies still thinking that celebrities will increase their sales shows how cringey they are. There good bikes increase sales and not celebrities
The number one video that could potentially attract thousands of new subscriber and you guys put it behind a pay wall. Genius.
This video is available for everyone @sho_k1. That's why you were able to make this comment.
@@motorinc You would not believe me i was listening to this video and minimized it(yt premium feature) and then looked for the classic 350 video on members only playlist made that comment there and bam now i look stupid.

We look forward to catching up too! Thanks so much for being with us!
I THINK NS IS MORE FOCUSED TOWARDS YOUTH JUST LIKE DUKE
N IS FOR MATURED MEN
Well said!
And strangely enough, the youth bike feels like the far older product too!
Imo this bike is an all-rounder! Probably not the best in class, but whatever we want it to do in day to day usage, it does very very well. Now it got features, wider rear tyres which does elevate its looks and stance as well. Its priced so well too if we look into the current automobile market trajectory. I would deadass buy this over the likes of MT15, FZ25, Apache 200, CB300F etc etc etc.
Awesome! Thanks for letting us know!
Hello team,
Great conversation. However I'm still confused by the end of the video. What do you mean by weird suspension? You have not clearly explained it, You said 'not weird in the sense of unsafe, but you won't have a good time riding the bike', what does this mean? So do you mean it does not fall in sportier section nor comfort section, so what does this bike offer? Should we consider it if this is my first bike or look for other options in 250cc. I would request you to clarify this. Also give me what are best bikes available in 250cc to check out.
Thank you in advance.
32:09 Completely agree. Don't really need more than 40-50 bhp 400/450's.
Sweet spot!
The NS200 was lightning in a bottle, I can't imagine bajaj as they are now make that magic happen again..
I don't understand what's been happening to bajaj, they really let die many great bikes.
Instead of a n150,160, ns125,160, etc.. i wish they continued/ updated the RS200, the AS200(an exceptional tourer) and more unique pulsars lost to time.(Some of them weren't even bajaj's fault 😂).
Anyways hoping for the best with the 400s, really sweet would be they update the dominar also.(The real actual flagship.)
Also, most of the above pulsar's failure comes down to some honestly goofy styling and their lax attitude towards updates.. getting it right with the 400s is of utmost importance.
Superb point @Raage!
I have pulser 150 since 2005 it reaches top speed 110km still running good daily office commute.
Thanks for letting us know! That's awesome!
Mine as well. Pulsar 150 since 2006, inspite of having another bike.
13:05 Nobody else has brought that up in their stories. That's because everyone else is a spec sheet reader disguising themselves as "auto journalists".
Ouch.
I am glad i discovered this channel
Welcome to MotorInc, Arun!
But was the Pulsar not introduced as a sporty commuter in the 1st place? And I can't recall any pulsar barring the ns and the rs to be outright sporty. So, I don't understand how the n250 which is a technologically superior pulsar any less pulsar-y than the existing line-up??!!
By the standards of a time. The Pulsar was superior in terms of performance and handling for its time. But is it so today?
It seems like both of them personally hate N250. I have read a lot of comments below, in which it has been found that they are recommending MT or some other brand. So, this is really a big concern. Guys, please watch carefully comments and other RUclips channels. It is not honest review.
@Rahu_Rai: We will continue to recommend bikes we think riders will enjoy riding, no matter how it makes you feel. And please do feel free to disagree with our recommendations, and buy whatever you think is best of you.
However, if you don't trust us, please do not watch MotorInc. Accusing us of being dishonest is going to get you absolutely _nowhere_ here.
4 months into riding my 2022 N250 i told my friend it should've been named the Discover. Good to see the best agree 😆
Owner says it.🙏🏾 how’s it been otherwise?
Bro id suggest you stop comparing all pulsars with ktms and adrenaline
Bajaj made it to target a particular category called commuting and it does that perfectly and with comfort so what's with all the critisism?
Oh we would as soon as Bajaj set the expectations for Pulsar buyers correctly by saying that these were commuters. The ads and marketing sell excitement, so we must lay out of the user experience for the prospective buyer-rider clearly
Shumi took the Discover cue huh😂❤

Talking about a Pulsar in 2024 is a waste of time

I wish i can select a bike after watching your videos shumi, but the way you stress the negative points on each bike i cant choose one, still seeing where you fully impressed with one or atleast the stress on negative points is little low, lets see who is that lucky manufacturer…

Woah! Memories!
2 things I have a favour and my wishes to you guys.
1. I am planning on buying a bike
RE INTERCEPTOR is my first love ( for reference I am Ladakh kind of person fond of hills and that journey)
Considering that My interest goes towards scrambler 400X.
If you could compare those two I think it will be of great help for me to choose from.
I know there are better touring and adventure bikes for that purpose but I just wanna choose between these 2.
•Second thing Your videos and that in depth knowledge of every single component of bikes, car really helped me alot in a proper education of these motor mechanics. Thank you for making that info understandable enough for people to make these choices.
Posting it on every video till i get my answer 😂
Shumi sir waiting for your reply 🌻
Hi motorinc team. Brought a scrambler 400x after watching shumi's ride impression. It actually is like what he said. I know what to expect bcoz of motorinc and shumi. Thank you. I m really enjoying the motorcycle except the horrible rpm meter.
i have no intention of buying this or ns200 either but love your content from day one,have lost track of time in this conversation. loved the insights where shumi have given on the Bosch traction control. Love you guys just like the content, YOU ARE NEXT TOP GEAR by even making a new benchmark.
one thing I am really worried about is the comment section, I love how you guys are engaged in the comments but when the subscribers are high and comments go to lakhs how are you gonna manage, if you have to manage this then you need a big team, which might lead to diversifiable answers
Hahaha! Thanks VC! That is a challenge - I’m sure we’ll figure something out!
35 minutes well spent and as you guys said it would be a better D250 instead of N250 but after listening to the closing comments, now I'm curios to hear your opinion about Higness350 please make a video on it as well.
Random Req: Can we have Kartikeya share his ownership experience with his Suzuki Hayabusa? Can be a Garage (or Dream Garage) series.
Shumi your love for NS200 in this and the video before is so nice to watch. I own one and I feel it. Thank you for making videos.
Awesome! ❤️ you know where that comes from!
As an Architect & Graphic Designer, my heart goes to your graphic design team, top notch ! and your content is as usual amazing !

That 40bhp section was so on point. I had almost zeroed on a 25bhp bike but thankfully i changed my decision last minute and bought Triumph scrambler 400x.

Thank you for another true to the facts, no nonsense video. I had previously posted a query regards to the pay load capacity of a bike, and why most reviewers do not cover it, with India predominantly having single bike garages. Looking at the numerous comments your videos garner, not surprised about the query getting lost. Hope this one gets a response. It would help if you can talk about it when you talk about the kerb weight, as gross weight is not found in brochures for most vehicles.
Hey Jeswin! Can you please explain what would be the utility of discussing GVW on a vehicle that's designed to carry two people at most with a limited amount of luggage?
Hi, thanks for getting back. I weigh about 70 kg and my wife about 60 kg, I first considered the RTR 200 but from its GVM, I found it could carry a payload of 130kg, so me and my wife on it would be loading it nearly to the full limit. The Ronin too has the same payload. The Pulsar 160 and 250 have about 150kg payload capacity. The Honda cb200x 170kg and so on. I went for the Pulsar due to this reason, though I preferred the RTR. This is my line of thought. Thanks.
I see a 35 minute motorinc first and I think, short episode!
Love it!
Haha We get you!
First of all, great video. Really enjoyed listening to it.
I'm a 25 year old looking for my first bike. I do have my heart set on two bikes (Hero Xtreme 125R and the Bajaj N250). I know these two bikes are different in terms of segment but I want something that I won't outgrow for a few years given I need it primarily for commuting and occasional weekend rides to Lonavla, etc.
I do like the value both these bikes provide at their price point which is my main consideration. Please recommend.
Hello @motorinc team
Great podcast
I would also like to add to the above question, if i buy n250, should i buy the 2023 version over 2024?
dude you will outgrow both of them soon
@@devanshmadaan i went with the N250 6 months ago and I'm pretty happy with it, it does what I need and isn't too heavy on the pocket
@@hunterx2918 oh yeah me too
I think i have cracked the pulsar lineup. The OG pulsar 125, 150 and 220F is for those who are still not ready to accept new design language. NS series is for those who want a sportier pulsars. And N series is basically targeting customers who want bike only for commuting basically N series is the commuter in the skin of naked streetfighters.
Thanks for sharing your perspective!
It's a great informative video in fact I love watching your videos. May be it's only me who thinks it's too long and should be confined to 15 min or something because I think people hardly watch videos for 30min or more on RUclips.

Bajaj is all over the place with their models. Hopefully, the triumph partnership leads to some really good products ahead. Also, maybe Bajaj is slacking as they sell in huge number and have been fan favourtes for a long time? Amazing video!
Hullo again AK! And, good to hear your take!
I'm pretty much interested in a pulsar which has..
Body of 220 with improved fairing (same shape but build quality is up)
Coupled with the new 250 engine, upside down forks, digital console, improved brakes, wider tyres, all led setup without changing the old headlight design.
"This would be a perfect faired motorcycle in 250 category" unlike the f250.
Thanks for sharing your perspective SA!
Fantastic episode ❤️ I just sat back, relaxed and watched. Super kudos to the whole team 👏🏼
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for letting us know!
During our childhood we grew up seeing big brothers riding pulsars somehow pulsar became a middle class boy asipirations
When there a wave of long distance riders in India suddenly due to RUclips and Instagram influencers, I fail to understand why Bajaj has ignored Avenger line-up for a decade now. They are launching a new pulsar every week and the OG most comfortable cruiser Avenger is still sold without a disc in rear and an engine that struggles to go beyond 80kph. Such a shame!
Good point!
I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the RS 200! Maybe there's a new updated version in the works? Personally, I think it's a real flagship for Bajaj! 😊
Since we recorded this Bajaj did indicate an update is coming to the RS, let's see when
At first I thought it was the same NS200 Motorinc FIRST.
Again great work Shumi and Kartikeya
Thanks Rishi!
All the discover jokes and theme.
A good, subtle and not a harsh way to put it.
Shumi is just going all out!!
😁
Your discussions make my Sunday morning!
There are so many mods of Royal Enfields which people in other countries do to improve performance. We rarely see such things in Pulsars and Apaches.
I wonder if Fuel XPro, Powertronics, etc. can bring back the sportiness in the N series..... Perhaps you guys should do that!
Hey @kurroth! If you do try it, do let us know how it goes!
Nothing like a Sunday and an episode of MotorInc First! Loving it.
Thanks Akash! Glad you're enjoying the MotorInc experience!
On 3rd May were getting the NS400. Excited ro know what Shumi think about it ...
👍🏽
V v sweet information!!! Simplify and invent a feature for commoners!! 😊
Glad to hear that it worked for you! 🙏🏾
I feel the urge to watch Discovery again, I wonder why...(after hearing discover jokes for 30 minutes straight)
I was either smirking with Shumi or laughing with Kartikeya the whole time. Ahh, wonderful.
.
Waiting on S2 of "yOu kNow wHaT", I know for sure, if it's talking time, it's gonna be bomb!
Happy Motoring and let's keep celebrating these enablers for a little longer. Thanks for making motoring fun again.
For the joy of it!✌️❤
As a starter, can N250 come as a better vehicle for me I am upgrading from a regular 110cc bike and I see that N250 does provide me an extra safety net. Please suggest and a huge fan of your videos Shumi and Kartik
Yeah you can go...But you will feel the bike heavy for initial stages,then everything will be fine...
I don't understand why the Discover brand was discontinued. It was a pretty solid 125cc/110cc bike with wonderful street creds. The interesting part is, the Discover is still sold in other countries.
Nice video, as always. 👌
Specifically for the Pulsars, I feel like mentioning the model under discussion on the screen will help the viewers coz at least I got confused a few times as to which model is being discussed.. 😁
If you own a bike , say below 200cc and want to upgrade to 200-250cc , you need to watch from here 31:17 . That 40bhp magic wisdom from shumi is the best info you would want in making your next bike purchasing decision/confusion sorted out.
Excited to see NS 400 with it comes out , hopefully it'll be a flagship product of bajaj
SS/RS400 will be flagship
Indeed!
