i have had n250 for about 8 months now, done 2 services. Overall the service experience is good. But my rear sprocket was throwing some knocking noise once and i went to them and asked to check on which they said its normal ,etc . after some days when i got irritated with that noise i went again and askd them to check again , on which their reply was the same, but then i made the service manager sit with me and took him on a short ride , then only he recngized the issue and then they fixed it. turned out the rubber on the sprcket was worn out, so they replaced it free of cost.@@motorinc
I agree with Shumi. When I rode pulsar 150 with round headlight, I felt like I am the quickest on the road. So much excitement. Then I had a chance to ride 220F. And I felt like Barry Allen. Thoughts of comfort never struck my mind because there was so much adrenaline rush. Now pulsars have excellent comfort, suspension, and other things that make it a very very user-friendly bike. But I miss the excitement, the adrenaline rush.
Got it last month. And damn. There is literally nothing that I can throw and it can't handle. I am not that over the top so nothing extreme. And it's lovely to own it. ❤️❤️
@@UtkarshSingh361 I do not know your use case. But since you are split between engine and suspension I say take test ride on both. If you feel the 250 needs the usd only then wait.
@@thecrazysharma well i am an engineering student, i need bike with better engine i don't like features and stuff. I was going for NS because of it's 6 speed liquid cooled engine. And since you own N250 i asked. What do you think 6 speed and liquid cooled engine really matters?
@@UtkarshSingh361 Get the N250. In city you never need the 6th gear. Coming to cooling since you are a student go for the oil cooled. one les thing to care and maintain. I live in delhi and have been on my bike for hours in one go. The heat is almost neglegible. Coming to the suspension. The N250 has a almost perfect front suspension, the rear is a bit stiff. which gives best of both comfort and response. So, In my humble opinion choose the N250.
You are absolutely right @omkarbhosale4536 K am thinking on the same lines… all companies rather, not only motorcycles but for cars as well Kartikeya and Shumi should be consulted! 😇🫶🏼
N250, N160 and MT15, all in one line just cracked me up. You're the best when it comes to reviewing boy's machines!! I wish to see you as an Engineering Head in one of these prominent firms to have an ultimate joy on wheels.
I love the looks of the new f250 more than the 220. I mean, it's not like I'm saying 220 looks bad but i guess the fresher design(and the boomerang drls😍) of the new f250 looks spicy 🔥
Finallyyyyy, after so many requests on every motorinc shorts post the “Who should buy the N160”, the N250 video is out. And sure, i own a single channel N250 and its very close to my heart. The thing is, just after getting my first job, i got the Pulsar 135LS, my bestie had a Pulsar 150. We had a lot of fun during the early years with them and the Pulsars were just so much more than commuters (135, 150 commuters). Later, after 4-5 yrs, i got the NS200, it was a maad mad motorcycle and injust loved to rev it all around. After another 4yrs, i finally went to buy the D250 but this time around, i was married already with my better half leading me to the Bajaj showroom. However, this time around, when i test rode the N250, it just felt like a MAN with responsibilities and some fun unlike the Pulsars/Dominars which were Boys in Men’s clothing 😂 (#MeToo). The N250 changed me, my riding behavior, my take on the roads and thats why i love it soooo much. It may not be a PULSAR but it is THE PULSAR for me ❤❤
The pulsarmania runs deep. 😅 I was concerned about the NS200 being conspicuously missing from this comment section and channel. This is the first mention of the gem and reading this just made my day. 😄
Absolutely agree with all the points, very comfortable and smooth. Just needed a taller 5th gear or a 6th gear , would have made a lot of difference in highway touring.
I was waiting for this review and you guys delivered. Thank you, guys., Hoping we'll soon get a review of MT15 dual channel abs review too. Would love it if you guys do it in just shorts format too if proper video format is not possible because love to get your opinion on that bike.
I'm 24 and this is my first bike bought by me for me by me. I am always afraid to ride sports/heavy bikes. but this n250 is so good at teaching me how to ride, it's been 8 months and I don't have anything to complain about maybe it's because it's my first bike and I don't have anything to compare. by the way, your reviews are awesome. it's like you are transferring your experience.
I own the single channel n250. Though have some trouble with knocking issues it's a great tourer. Sweet spot 75 kmph to 85 kmph all day without any effort. Past 85 kmph has buzz all around. Over all I use it for commute and touring(minimum 500km at one go) and apart from some knocking issue and bs6 bike issues it all good. I tour with pillion.
Thanks for letting us know! Glad you're liking your experience. FWIW, our test bike didn't have any knocking issues... the most common reason could be that you're in too high a gear too early? If it isn't that, there's something that needs to be checked
@@motorinc I went to the service centre several times but they just did throttle body cleaning. Issue not resolved after several attempts now I have learnt to live with it.
I believe the knocking is a BS6 thing, engine is running too lean. It happens at a certain RPM whenever I open the throttle hard on my CB350 too. I also feel manufacturers are running different fueling maps on media bikes. Anyone else feels this way?
You guys are uploading the "View" videos almost every week! Nothing gets better than this! (Well yeah if you guys upload more of these kinda videos, then it'll be ever better!) Anyways, i love your videos. Keep doing what you do guys✌️
That line about having a census conducted to know how many pulsars are there 😂😂 That and the analogy with dolo and getting volini instead to solve a headache ❤ The content is truly next level guys, keep this up! Love you people ❤
Thank you so much for this video you guys don't know how long I was waiting for it ❤. In fact I was going to book the bike and then the dealers told me that the bs6 Obd-2 E20 model was not coming to the south 😢 when i enquired in Kochi, Kerala. I also enquired with another bajaj dealer and they told me that they don't have the e20 2023 model and it is not available in the other nearby districts as well. So now I am looking at the bs6 2022 model
Hi I own a F250 and same as a friend mentioned that he had knocking issue, I too have that one and enquired about that in the service centre and they initially said that the self relay was gone and they are going to change that and after some days they called again and said the self relay is fine all we need is to change the battery. The bike is 8 months old and within a year they are saying like to change the battery. Other than that the bike is a Gem, I travelled around 300kms without taking any break at 90-100kmph all along
Another enjoyable start to my Sunday! Loved this video! Also I find this much better looking from the front compared to MT-15! How would you guys say these 250s stack up against the Gixxer 250s?
N250, N160, and MT15 all in one line was just😇... You are the best when it comes to reviewing motorcycles... I own F250 and so far more than satisfied with it... It's a comfortable motorcycle that doesn't ask for much effort from the rider...
I just completed a 800 km 4 day ride with some segments being in hilly roads…. The Pulsar 220F can get extremely torquey low range while also giving pretty blistering speeds at redline. Suspension remains solid and stable over all terrain when tuned to weight( Thanks for the Advice, @shumar !) ….. Its a blast to ride. And the dnf trio compared to the great, looks like DNF, ie Does Not Finish, which the 220F does spectacularly. It has the two things that the dnf decidedly does not have…..Original Identity that people will get in first look, and excitement that people will remember for a lifetime. The video was just Béllisimo with all the nuances we have come to expect with motorinc, and all the feels that they make us feel. Thats my …. maybe two hundred cents. Just the magic pill talking.😂
Well ive bought it on jan 2023, and so far its one of my best decisions, the only regret in my opinion is the 6th gear and usd forks, which either one of them would have been excellent, and this bike should have come with it, to differentiate between 160 and 250, as both looks same. The exhaust note is really good around 2nd and 3rd gear at 20-40kmph, it sounds like a bigger bike, as for the average i am getting around 32-35kmpl and i don't ride rash and in higher speeds( except highways, which I don't often go to) and lastly the price, you are getting a decently powerful 250cc bike for just 1.85L that's fantastic.
I personally own the Pulsar F250 Dual channel ABS version (you can see my dp😌) and I have to say that it is almost the perfect bike. Almost coz it is missing the 6th gear that it should have had. But other than that it has got the right balance of power and features, which I think makes it better than the 220f. I have just completed 3000 kms on my F250 and it is really fun to ride. Thank you thank you for making this video❤
The part where he talks about the tyres feeling like being under inflated every time😅 is something i relate to every time i ride my "Big Chill"(n250). But the suspension is just that good!
I own f250 and its really refined, but you do miss that grunt that 220f gives, other than that f250 rides smooth and in absolute love with it. Just did a 750kms ride on it and its was absolute fun. Not that great at cornering when i rode in shirdi ghat section but it gives a very motogp feel😅. A tip for riding in ghat section with this motorcycle - ride a gear lower and that changes the entire ride feel and you can come out of the corners with more acceleration.
@@johnchristopher8028 It’s not discontinued but the sales is too low that Bajaj delivers the Pulsar 250s to a very limited showroom here in Banglore only one Bajaj showroom has the Pulsar 250
I have no words to discribe how awesome was that story! I mean who other than motorinc would have thought bikes - the most dangerous way of transportation can be compared using medicine! - 🤯 Never been a fan of Pulsars in general! But maybe there is a case to be heard!
The way Shumi speaks, like many others I have also seen him on tv, youtube and now I can say this is bestest Shumi, period. Also coming back to Pulsars, Mr. Bajaj mentioned in his recent interview when speed was launched in India, that the next big thing for Pulsar is going to happen in March next year, is it the new NS RS range? Maybe they are working on the heart again.
Some bikes are meant to be remain old and they can't be replaced. F250 not even came closer to 220f. Well i heard many good things about n250 anf f250, but practically only few brought them and resale prices are shockingly low for new motorcycles like them.
I wish bajaj would come up with a 300cc ver of the N250 and give it a 6th gear and some minor improvements to the agressive design as well. Now, that would be my dream bike. Can only hope though.😅
@@motorinc Hey. They said no n250 available in my place Thrissur,Kerala and they going to stop the production.! I test ride n160 and it was smooth. I really like it. Dont know about 250 how it feels to me. Are 250 and 160 reliable engines???
This stop production rumour has been going around -- we can confirm that this isn't true... there are other people discussing buying the bike in this comment stream. As to reliable: these are new engines to so its hard to say super long term. But they've been around long enough for reports to be there on the forums -- please do check
Another short and crisp review video. Best part - Paracetamol, Pain Relief Gel, Volini, Dolo 650 and specially at 3:47. If you happen to create FAQ shorts for this bike please include the headlight performance if possible.
I constantly glaring, checking back and forth for the easter egg, expected a prank to be pulled out where among the n250 there would be one n160 clip that we all would have slipped on haha, couldn’t find it
I have the N250 2023 model, riding it for last 1.5 years fantastic machine love the engine response and gearing. I even took it for a 2000km week long road trip and it was so much fun, cruising on 80-100kmph is comfortable and still has a bit left for quick overtakes. Suspension performs well on highway if there is a bit of luggage on the back and makes the ride a lot more pleasant. Also bajaj service is quite good where I am at but with little care from my own end it's still running like new. Only thing is paint quality is a bit poor. Shumi Sir love the reviews as always 🥳🥳.
Well now owner of f250 past owning 220f ofcourse its a legendary bike, but in terms of ride quality f250 has unbeateble better suspension better breaks better stability and refined engine, for just 15 to 25k more than 220f i think public misjudge these two motorcycles over anger of the bajaj 220f production stop that time .. almost year gone i have the dual channel version of f250 .. no major issues yet some small issues happend but that all coverup and fixed by service center and in warranty some parts replaced free of cost too 😊😊😊 .. iam happy with that bike no complaints😊
was considering the D, N and F and finally decided to go with the Dominar for its refined engine and the "big bike" feel it offered. i would've got the N if I was short on extra cash. No doubt about it.
In the PD review of the D250 shumi said that it appeals more to the mind than the heart. After riding both, compared to this the Dominar felt like the one with more heart in it which may just be down to the character of the duke engine. For someone wanting an upgrade to a 250 without much of a challenge this seems perfect. For anyone wanting more, this is a bit too easy.
Shumi, you are taking automotive journalism to the next level ❤Soon you will be invited by Netflix and bigger media to make some great content. Hope you guys will continue to keep this same spirit of journalism alive.
Totally agree on your description, Nothing more or less than that, Shumi can you talk about Honda CB 300f , Think it's belongs to same segment 🎉, Always ❤your sense, Thank you in advance.
Thanks! CB300F -- we're waiting for test bikes. But there's someone in these comments who went for a test ride and reports vibration throughout, more or less
@@motorinc I agree vibrations for few hundreds kms, Gradually n gradually it's becoming smoother n less vibrations, I want your description in motorinc style, Be Blessed.
I recall being the owner of Original Pulsar with sequential 5 front shifts, round headlamp and masculine huge tank! I can't connect with new these new-gen Pulsar machines for sure and it's not Bajaj's fault tbh. Most of this is because of the competition. You have KTM Duke(s) that have flooded this space of wild-maniac bikes minus the muscular Pulsar styling. Back then, the only thing that would nail one Pulsar down was another Pulsar. So I would say, Pulsar was more of an era of Indian Street Biking.
Had a pulsar 150 before and it was one of my worst mistakes to own that bike. It had some engine issue from the factory itself which Bajaj was never able to resolve for the entirety of the lifespan of that bike. So I was really scared to go for Bajaj again. But n250 has been an absolute tank. I am really glad that I dared to go with Bajaj again. Service has been really good and I've hardly had any issues with bike up till now. Great bike for its value.
It was probably a lemon. In other countries you'd have got a new bike or refund. In India you just have to deal with it because of lack of consumer protection laws
I Liked the Old (Bs3&4) Pulsar Line up The Pulsar 150,180 & especially The Pulsar220F. They were the Pioneers of Performance Biking in India until the ktm Duke 390 arrived.
I have owned four 220f, not because of the looks,the power,the refinement but because no other bike gave me the confidence,the feels,the comfort like 220f did. But since after the launched of N160/250 I've been wanting to switced to it,just wondering if it'll be worth or not.
Great review. N250 looks more better than F250. I think, Bajaj made Pulsar F250 to replace F220. But F250, though it's fresh, but lacks satisfactory looks from front, especially the exhaust, mirrors and drl design is not as appealing or same as F220. I heard bajaj going to relaunch the F250 facelift with minor changes? Waiting for it.
I completely agree with Shumi Sir. I have n250 for last two years and its really a very good bike. Effortless in city good punch and power and refinements like Japanese bikes even after 2 years with minimal maintenance. But I miss pulsary nature which missing somewhat. I also have rs 200 Bs4 so I really have two of the best combination under budget. N250 is so refined that you will feel that's a Japanese bike not pulsar .
I feel that N250 is creating a New Fan base. I bought ns200 10 days back and returned coz i need lower rpm torque and not much power. So than took test drive of N250 and here u go..m only worried about mileage as some of em says it gives 18-21 ka mileage.
Because the n250 got 21.2 nm of torque while the ns200 has 18.5 nm of torque. Ns has a 199.8cc engine while N250 has 249.07cc engine. Hp is same 24.5. But the N250 has a larger engine (around 49cc more) and 2.5 nm more torque making it having more powerful in low end. The only thing I hate is they dont offer more vibrant colors on N.
Hi, you took delivery of a new bike? Which city, if you dont mind me asking? In Chennai, Tamil nadu, dealers are definite that N250 has been discontinued. I have hence booked a N160.
Bajaj was on a roll in the 2000s with the Pulsar and Avenger. They were clearly sorted. Pulsar for sporty riding, Avenger for cruising, Discover for slightly sporty commuting and Platina/CT/Boxer for city commuting duties. All of this has gone for a toss since KTM. The Avenger is grossly ignored, while they are trying to sell the Pulsar as sports bikes, commuter bikes, adventure bikes, tourers, etc. The only thing keeping Bajaj afloat is foreign markets, hence Bajaj will never be able to do justice to modern day Indian motorcycle market.
I hope they launch new colours for N250 because its perfect now with Dual channel ABS. The E20 compliant N250 is available at showrooms currently but the F250 isn't updated at all , i think with arrival of NS200 with Dual channel ABS and USD forks plus 220f being out of the grave like Undertaker Bajaj has decided to not update F250 because people are not buying it over 220f. They are like why should I buy buy the ugly looking bike with less mileage when I can get 220f which is better looking too with less price. I personally think that 220f should get retro treatment and comeback as pulsar classic with fork gators , dual channel ABS etc . Bajaj doesn't need to work hard on it. It can challenge RE 350 classic with its own legacy and history, Bajaj has seriously lost the battle with Dominar nameplate when they tried challenging RE classic 350 and Thunderbird in the past. Anyway the N250 is at full advantage right now because there is no FZ25, F250 to challenge it to become the new market leader in 250cc segment. There are 3 bikes which are missing in action now .i.e F250 FZ25 and the overpriced Hornet 2.0 which are unofficially discontinued as there are no bikes in the showrooms and the respective manufacturers have not given any statement regarding these bikes . Please clear the confusion regarding it because its hard to decipher whether they will be back with E20 compliant engine or not?
It's a no nonsense bike for the masses.. Comfy, smooth, refined, peppy, decently practical and sporty as well.. Just that it misses on stuff like a 6th gear, liquid colling, bluetooth connectivity, ETC, it excels in every aspect.. But I think Bajaj has to work on their lineup, it's just too confusing for a customer 😮
Nice video Shumi.. i am referring to your videos quite a bit now. your content is really different than others. I am looking to buy a new bike 250+ cc bikes. I have decided to test rides KTM 250 first. Do you have any other suggestions? My ride is mostly within city and occassional long rides.
2011 pulsar 150 dtsi owner here. I just bought a 2.5k run 8month old n250 at great price. And as you rightly said it does not feel like a pulsar. . . I COULDNT AGREE MORE!!! So, I will just get rid of the pulsar sticker and treat it as n250😅. Coz I love everything it offers.
With Pulsars it was never about comfort and topping the speeds It was all about pushing the engine to the redline and RPM Limit light blinking dangerously And praying for just this once the engine shouldn't rip itself apart And the sheer joy and pride of having a Pulsar
Hello bhai ! I'm thinking of getting one. Is there any issue that you are facing? Did yours have an Appollo or Mrf tyre ? Have heard a lot of people complaining about the cornering is it that bad? Plus what are the mileage figures that your are getting? Thanks bhai waiting for your reply.
Another awesome video with ample detail and very calm narrative, a welcome change. Thanks to everyone at motorinc. Watching the video I am thinking of buying the N250, but i have been an avid Yamaha fan and had my heart set on the FZS25. But its nowhere to be found except on the Yamaha website. Will the N250 be a good alternative? Kindly advise. EDIT- Yamaha website nor online shop shows FZ/FZS25, guess it's discontinued for sure☹️
Turning radius is too short that one thing I will complain about N250 , I replaced the handle bar with fz . It has comfort. Decent mileage (38kmpl)، low maintenence, very good pick up and torque. I hardly click 5th gear in city rides. It has heating issues as well
It has the pulsar vibe.. Real OG Pulsar lovers know that the old Pulsars actually had a strong mid range punch.. The current Pulsars are more of KTMs rather than being a Pulsar.. The looks are also kept in mind to sync with the first Pulsars ❤
Maybe Bajaj should be bold and build a liquid cooled twin cylinder 500. I am sure by now they have enough expertise. Pulsars were technically the first high performance naked bikes in the market and now it is a bit swamped. Instead of reinventing the wheel, build something which is aspirational and not a biz case. Same can be said for Hero too. Make for the world as you said in a previous video.
Honestly, I like both the N250 and the CB300F. That thing about 'soul' - maybe because I'm a totally new rider, I don't really get what that means. To me, both felt equally exciting, light and loveable; the N250 did feep a bit heavier at stop-and-go traffic, though. There used to be a time I wanted the CB350RS, but having sat on all 3 bikes, I was able to totally flatfoot the CB300F better. The N250 is a close second. And now, I can't decide which to buy...🤦🏻♂️
@@motorinc In terms of enjoyment, both are equal, just like I said above. But if I focus on the _"more"_ , the CB300F's 15 cm wide rear tyre, 79 cm seat height and 152 kg kerb weight did make me feel *_more_* in control. The choice becomes difficult because I think I can eek out more mileage from the N250. I've spoken to a few people and one of them was able to stretch it to 48 km/L! On the 300F, I feel like it'll be just above or below 40 km/L with my riding style. The choice is kind of between more mileage and more sureness.
@@Farhan_049 if i may offer advice, mileage is mileage. yes, we are not all the same financially but its important to ask ourselves this question : if mileage really is our number 1 factor, then why aren't we buying a splendor? if you feel that the cb300f would be more fun and enjoyable for you, then i would suggest you get it. if you got a bike that isnt as suited for you just for some extra mileage, you will surely keep on second guessing. and trust me, second guessing your purchase especially on a machine that you intend to have fun and make memories on, is not a healthy thought to have on your mind.
@@apolloxlix679 You're right. I'll test the CB300F again just to be sure. It was just one test ride with my Sister and she felt okay with it. This time, I should take either Dad or Mom on it. But most likely, I'll end up buying the 300F. That bike felt safer.
Thank you for the wonderful videos. It would be so good to see a review of Honda hornet 2.0 from Motorinc. It seems to be very good when compared to most 160cc vehicles if the focus is on easy performance with the guaranteed reliability of Honda and comparable mileage. It also seems to have bad headlights and hard suspension, so would be great to have some type of comparison of this bike with the 160cc segment. Please?
One weird thing i have noticed, any 250cc bike no matter what are not doing any well be it n250, Fz250, gixxer 250 or duke 250. Either they've very average sales or no sales.
The new 250 Pulsars are meant for a guy like me who enjoyed his college years on the Pulsars of the older DNA and has now evolved in an upper middle class family man, who wants to travel from one place to another with a smile on his face.
If they've named these bikes discover it'd have made more sense...🤔 Because till now I cannot understand where it stands actually... See for example in case of TVS they've RTR 160 2V RTR 160 4V and all but in this case they made First standard 150 and lot's of variants then NS 160 then N160 and then again P150 or something... so In comparision to NS 160 the N160 has cradle frame 2V single spark (dual spark isn't that relevant I guess after FI) engine I can't understand what these motorcycle trying to achieve? Is it just to add LED lighting and new speedometer console? Looking at the spec sheet I'm not so impressed. I was hoping for 4V short stroke highrev loving engine but I guess for now it falls behind NS in that case (if we compare the 200cc segment N250 220f D250 NS200)
Hello shumi sir, would you recommend this as a 1st bike to a 19 year old guy who has little to no riding experience. I am 18 right now and intend to purchase this bike some time next year. I was interested in this bike since fairly long and got excited when i saw this vid in my home page. I was kind of disappointed to learn that this bike didnt have a 6th gear but my main concern is that i might get bored of its looks rather quickly. My secondary choice is the honda cb300r and im waiting for the launch of apache rtr 310 as well. Would appreciate your opinion.
Yes, the N250 should make a decent bike as a first bike. You can choose to wait for the RTR310 if you like, but generally, we don't like recommending bikes over 250cc/30bhp for new riders
An OG. 220f would always remain the best despite of new alternatives been launched but this is because it stole the show back in those days n still steals the heart of many💯
I’m so so so amused that no one’s found the Easter egg! It’s on screen for over a second too! 😂

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

It's so delightful to watch shumi sharing his feedback for n250 in an effortless manner. People can connect easily..Excellent one..
Thanks Rakesh!
I agree with Shumi. When I rode pulsar 150 with round headlight, I felt like I am the quickest on the road. So much excitement. Then I had a chance to ride 220F. And I felt like Barry Allen. Thoughts of comfort never struck my mind because there was so much adrenaline rush. Now pulsars have excellent comfort, suspension, and other things that make it a very very user-friendly bike. But I miss the excitement, the adrenaline rush.
🤜🏽🤛🏽
Was the 220f more strong at low end, middle or top end of the rpms?
Got it last month. And damn. There is literally nothing that I can throw and it can't handle. I am not that over the top so nothing extreme. And it's lovely to own it. ❤️❤️

People will start appreciating these gems once it will be discontinued (I own a F250). Thanks for the video
N250, N160 and MT15, all in one line just cracked me up. You're the best when it comes to reviewing boy's machines!! I wish to see you as an Engineering Head in one of these prominent firms to have an ultimate joy on wheels.
Wow! Thanks Srivastava!
I love the looks of the new f250 more than the 220. I mean, it's not like I'm saying 220 looks bad but i guess the fresher design(and the boomerang drls😍) of the new f250 looks spicy 🔥
🙌👍🏼
Finallyyyyy, after so many requests on every motorinc shorts post the “Who should buy the N160”, the N250 video is out. And sure, i own a single channel N250 and its very close to my heart.
The thing is, just after getting my first job, i got the Pulsar 135LS, my bestie had a Pulsar 150. We had a lot of fun during the early years with them and the Pulsars were just so much more than commuters (135, 150 commuters).
Later, after 4-5 yrs, i got the NS200, it was a maad mad motorcycle and injust loved to rev it all around.
After another 4yrs, i finally went to buy the D250 but this time around, i was married already with my better half leading me to the Bajaj showroom. However, this time around, when i test rode the N250, it just felt like a MAN with responsibilities and some fun unlike the Pulsars/Dominars which were Boys in Men’s clothing 😂 (#MeToo).
The N250 changed me, my riding behavior, my take on the roads and thats why i love it soooo much. It may not be a PULSAR but it is THE PULSAR for me ❤❤
Awesome Ray! Thanks for sharing this with us!
The pulsarmania runs deep. 😅
I was concerned about the NS200 being conspicuously missing from this comment section and channel. This is the first mention of the gem and reading this just made my day. 😄
Absolutely agree with all the points, very comfortable and smooth. Just needed a taller 5th gear or a 6th gear , would have made a lot of difference in highway touring.
It could.
I was waiting for this review and you guys delivered. Thank you, guys., Hoping we'll soon get a review of MT15 dual channel abs review too. Would love it if you guys do it in just shorts format too if proper video format is not possible because love to get your opinion on that bike.
We will try! Yamaha's been making us wait for the MT-15... it's been over a month of chasing that bike 🤷🏽♂️
I'm 24 and this is my first bike bought by me for me by me.
I am always afraid to ride sports/heavy bikes.
but this n250 is so good at teaching me how to ride,
it's been 8 months and I don't have anything to complain about
maybe it's because it's my first bike and I don't have anything to compare.
by the way, your reviews are awesome. it's like you are transferring your experience.
Awesome! Glad you're enjoying it Kishan and we're happy you're thrilled with your bike!
I own the single channel n250. Though have some trouble with knocking issues it's a great tourer. Sweet spot 75 kmph to 85 kmph all day without any effort. Past 85 kmph has buzz all around. Over all I use it for commute and touring(minimum 500km at one go) and apart from some knocking issue and bs6 bike issues it all good. I tour with pillion.
Brother, you couldn't find any solution to your knocking issues?
Thanks for letting us know! Glad you're liking your experience. FWIW, our test bike didn't have any knocking issues... the most common reason could be that you're in too high a gear too early? If it isn't that, there's something that needs to be checked
@@motorinc I went to the service centre several times but they just did throttle body cleaning. Issue not resolved after several attempts now I have learnt to live with it.
I believe the knocking is a BS6 thing, engine is running too lean. It happens at a certain RPM whenever I open the throttle hard on my CB350 too. I also feel manufacturers are running different fueling maps on media bikes. Anyone else feels this way?
@@lijomathew8373 no boss
Review was good to watch, 5 minutes was right duration to tell everything.😊 It would be great if u cover the info about upcoming Karizma.
After it’s stopped being upcoming and become now-on-sale… for sure!
You guys are uploading the "View" videos almost every week!
Nothing gets better than this! (Well yeah if you guys upload more of these kinda videos, then it'll be ever better!)
Anyways, i love your videos. Keep doing what you do guys✌️
Thanks Sudip! Glad you're loving MotorInc View!
You Guys are like the TopGear crew but with a more in-depth view on all things motoring
Thank you very much!
And unlike TopGear, not biased

That line about having a census conducted to know how many pulsars are there 😂😂
That and the analogy with dolo and getting volini instead to solve a headache ❤
The content is truly next level guys, keep this up! Love you people ❤
♥️ Thanks DarkTitan!
The beautiful presentation this guy gives is just something not many youtubers work on. 10/10 Content as usual 👌🏻
Wow, thanks!
Thank you so much for this video you guys don't know how long I was waiting for it ❤. In fact I was going to book the bike and then the dealers told me that the bs6 Obd-2 E20 model was not coming to the south 😢 when i enquired in Kochi, Kerala. I also enquired with another bajaj dealer and they told me that they don't have the e20 2023 model and it is not available in the other nearby districts as well. So now I am looking at the bs6 2022 model
Hi I own a F250 and same as a friend mentioned that he had knocking issue, I too have that one and enquired about that in the service centre and they initially said that the self relay was gone and they are going to change that and after some days they called again and said the self relay is fine all we need is to change the battery. The bike is 8 months old and within a year they are saying like to change the battery. Other than that the bike is a Gem, I travelled around 300kms without taking any break at 90-100kmph all along
At 8 months, the battery should also be in warranty Nithish!
Back in the day there was 135LS...now n250...
Both seems spirited, light on pocket and very much beginners friendly...
It's Perfect. Jokes, Facts, Rant, Pros, Cons....to the last minute details, it's Perfect 👌👌👌
Glad you enjoyed that!
Thank God. This is my first time seeing an Indian vlogger that speaks English.
I booked one today. Super excited to share my thoughts after the delivery
So?
Sold the bike last week, after 1 year. No issue in bike, handling, acceleration, fuel efficiency all were great.
Thanks for letting us know! How was your service experience Rajnish?
@@motorinc it was good. But staff changed everytime. Buying experience was not that good.
Thanks for letting us know!
Another enjoyable start to my Sunday! Loved this video! Also I find this much better looking from the front compared to MT-15! How would you guys say these 250s stack up against the Gixxer 250s?
N250, N160, and MT15 all in one line was just😇... You are the best when it comes to reviewing motorcycles... I own F250 and so far more than satisfied with it... It's a comfortable motorcycle that doesn't ask for much effort from the rider...
Awesome! Glad you're enjoying your motorcycle Varun!
I bought a Pulsar N250 now... Thank you for your advice Sir 🎉
Congratulations @DineshKumar-ix6tz! Thanks for sharing.
I just completed a 800 km 4 day ride with some segments being in hilly roads…. The Pulsar 220F can get extremely torquey low range while also giving pretty blistering speeds at redline. Suspension remains solid and stable over all terrain when tuned to weight( Thanks for the Advice, @shumar !) ….. Its a blast to ride. And the dnf trio compared to the great, looks like DNF, ie Does Not Finish, which the 220F does spectacularly. It has the two things that the dnf decidedly does not have…..Original Identity that people will get in first look, and excitement that people will remember for a lifetime.
The video was just Béllisimo with all the nuances we have come to expect with motorinc, and all the feels that they make us feel. Thats my …. maybe two hundred cents. Just the magic pill talking.😂
Thanks Archis. The identity point is _spot on!_
Mileage
Well ive bought it on jan 2023, and so far its one of my best decisions, the only regret in my opinion is the 6th gear and usd forks, which either one of them would have been excellent, and this bike should have come with it, to differentiate between 160 and 250, as both looks same. The exhaust note is really good around 2nd and 3rd gear at 20-40kmph, it sounds like a bigger bike, as for the average i am getting around 32-35kmpl and i don't ride rash and in higher speeds( except highways, which I don't often go to) and lastly the price, you are getting a decently powerful 250cc bike for just 1.85L that's fantastic.
The way this channel explains is literally amazing...,For a Moment i thought that Shumi is literally in front of us
I personally own the Pulsar F250 Dual channel ABS version (you can see my dp😌) and I have to say that it is almost the perfect bike. Almost coz it is missing the 6th gear that it should have had. But other than that it has got the right balance of power and features, which I think makes it better than the 220f. I have just completed 3000 kms on my F250 and it is really fun to ride. Thank you thank you for making this video❤
We are glad that you enjoyed the video.
This is the pinnacle of Indian automotive content.
The part where he talks about the tyres feeling like being under inflated every time😅 is something i relate to every time i ride my "Big Chill"(n250). But the suspension is just that good!
🤜🏽🤛🏽
I own f250 and its really refined, but you do miss that grunt that 220f gives, other than that f250 rides smooth and in absolute love with it. Just did a 750kms ride on it and its was absolute fun. Not that great at cornering when i rode in shirdi ghat section but it gives a very motogp feel😅.
A tip for riding in ghat section with this motorcycle - ride a gear lower and that changes the entire ride feel and you can come out of the corners with more acceleration.
Spot on!
F250 is avilable in showroom please let me know once
@@narendrababu2439 I believe the model is discontinued
@@johnchristopher8028 It’s not discontinued but the sales is too low that Bajaj delivers the Pulsar 250s to a very limited showroom here in Banglore only one Bajaj showroom has the Pulsar 250
@@tech9896 Bro please share that showroom name where I can get the F250 dual abs , I live in Hassan and I'm in search for this bike from past 4 months
I have no words to discribe how awesome was that story! I mean who other than motorinc would have thought bikes - the most dangerous way of transportation can be compared using medicine! - 🤯
Never been a fan of Pulsars in general! But maybe there is a case to be heard!
Thanks Rahul!
There is! Just ride one of these 250s and see for yourself
The way Shumi speaks, like many others I have also seen him on tv, youtube and now I can say this is bestest Shumi, period.
Also coming back to Pulsars, Mr. Bajaj mentioned in his recent interview when speed was launched in India, that the next big thing for Pulsar is going to happen in March next year, is it the new NS RS range? Maybe they are working on the heart again.
Thank you Kunal!
Yes, we're looking forward to this too!
Some bikes are meant to be remain old and they can't be replaced. F250 not even came closer to 220f. Well i heard many good things about n250 anf f250, but practically only few brought them and resale prices are shockingly low for new motorcycles like them.
Absolutely on point! That's exactly what's happened
I wish bajaj would come up with a 300cc ver of the N250 and give it a 6th gear and some minor improvements to the agressive design as well. Now, that would be my dream bike. Can only hope though.😅
♥️
Wow❤ man. I was getting ready to go to bajaj showroom to book one and you uploaded this video the same time!!!

This stop production rumour has been going around -- we can confirm that this isn't true... there are other people discussing buying the bike in this comment stream.

Bought it on 30th july 2023, a very delightful experience. Loving this bike. #N250
Review your observations on 2024 Duke 390, already Western autovlogs have started posting their reviews,,, In India you are the top honest reviewer..
I constantly glaring, checking back and forth for the easter egg, expected a prank to be pulled out where among the n250 there would be one n160 clip that we all would have slipped on haha, couldn’t find it
But I guess “Twilight” will be a new series of podcast on motorinc discussing Concepts or upcoming models with mere clues from the brand
That's exactly right... all you have to do is find it.
🤣
Really loved the expression it speaks to your head and not to your heart.... Says it all... Thank you
Thanks a ton! We'll pass your compliments on to the team!
I have the N250 2023 model, riding it for last 1.5 years fantastic machine love the engine response and gearing. I even took it for a 2000km week long road trip and it was so much fun, cruising on 80-100kmph is comfortable and still has a bit left for quick overtakes. Suspension performs well on highway if there is a bit of luggage on the back and makes the ride a lot more pleasant. Also bajaj service is quite good where I am at but with little care from my own end it's still running like new. Only thing is paint quality is a bit poor.
Shumi Sir love the reviews as always 🥳🥳.
Thank you for sharing @uttaranroychowdhury! Glad to hear that you're having a wonderful time.
Well now owner of f250 past owning 220f ofcourse its a legendary bike, but in terms of ride quality f250 has unbeateble better suspension better breaks better stability and refined engine, for just 15 to 25k more than 220f
i think public misjudge these two motorcycles over anger of the bajaj 220f production stop that time .. almost year gone i have the dual channel version of f250 .. no major issues yet some small issues happend but that all coverup and fixed by service center and in warranty some parts replaced free of cost too 😊😊😊 .. iam happy with that bike no complaints😊
Thank you for sharing your experience.
was considering the D, N and F and finally decided to go with the Dominar for its refined engine and the "big bike" feel it offered. i would've got the N if I was short on extra cash. No doubt about it.
♥️ We hope you thoroughly enjoy your purchase!
Great choice!
@@motorincI see the irony
Irony?
@@vivekmishra6400 Lmao
In the PD review of the D250 shumi said that it appeals more to the mind than the heart. After riding both, compared to this the Dominar felt like the one with more heart in it which may just be down to the character of the duke engine. For someone wanting an upgrade to a 250 without much of a challenge this seems perfect. For anyone wanting more, this is a bit too easy.
♥️
Shumi, you are taking automotive journalism to the next level ❤Soon you will be invited by Netflix and bigger media to make some great content. Hope you guys will continue to keep this same spirit of journalism alive.

Always ❤your sense,
Thank you in advance.
Thanks! CB300F -- we're waiting for test bikes. But there's someone in these comments who went for a test ride and reports vibration throughout, more or less
@@motorinc I agree vibrations for few hundreds kms,
Gradually n gradually it's becoming smoother n less vibrations,
I want your description in motorinc style,
Be Blessed.
I recall being the owner of Original Pulsar with sequential 5 front shifts, round headlamp and masculine huge tank! I can't connect with new these new-gen Pulsar machines for sure and it's not Bajaj's fault tbh. Most of this is because of the competition. You have KTM Duke(s) that have flooded this space of wild-maniac bikes minus the muscular Pulsar styling. Back then, the only thing that would nail one Pulsar down was another Pulsar. So I would say, Pulsar was more of an era of Indian Street Biking.
Had a pulsar 150 before and it was one of my worst mistakes to own that bike. It had some engine issue from the factory itself which Bajaj was never able to resolve for the entirety of the lifespan of that bike. So I was really scared to go for Bajaj again. But n250 has been an absolute tank. I am really glad that I dared to go with Bajaj again. Service has been really good and I've hardly had any issues with bike up till now. Great bike for its value.
It was probably a lemon. In other countries you'd have got a new bike or refund. In India you just have to deal with it because of lack of consumer protection laws
I Liked the Old (Bs3&4) Pulsar Line up The Pulsar 150,180 & especially The Pulsar220F. They were the Pioneers of Performance Biking in India until the ktm Duke 390 arrived.
💯
Love your commentary.... It's pure and lucid.... Just like my pulsar 😂
I have owned four 220f, not because of the looks,the power,the refinement but because no other bike gave me the confidence,the feels,the comfort like 220f did.
But since after the launched of N160/250 I've been wanting to switced to it,just wondering if it'll be worth or not.
Great review. N250 looks more better than F250. I think, Bajaj made Pulsar F250 to replace F220. But F250, though it's fresh, but lacks satisfactory looks from front, especially the exhaust, mirrors and drl design is not as appealing or same as F220. I heard bajaj going to relaunch the F250 facelift with minor changes? Waiting for it.
I completely agree with Shumi Sir. I have n250 for last two years and its really a very good bike. Effortless in city good punch and power and refinements like Japanese bikes even after 2 years with minimal maintenance. But I miss pulsary nature which missing somewhat. I also have rs 200 Bs4 so I really have two of the best combination under budget. N250 is so refined that you will feel that's a Japanese bike not pulsar .
Thank you for sharing @amankumar-ft2ck! Glad to hear from an owner.
Please do a comparison between the N250 and FZ25 for comfort, commutes and touring
Yeah, that would be a good comparison to see. These are the two options I'm looking at for my next commuting and occasional touring machine.
Can do! We do think the Yamaha might turn out more reliable over the years, but the N250 will be the better bike overall
Waiting for TVS Apache rtr 200 4v video. It'll be very helpful. Any guesses when updated version will launch?
Hey, amazing video, big fan here. Since you all are covering Pulsar series, i am dying to know your thoughts on Bajaj Pulsar RS200 too.
I wish Bajaj puts this engine in a new a Avenger. It would become a very nice option under 2 lakh.
♥️
Many will come, many will go. But no bike can ever replace the LEGENDARY Pulsar 220F
🙌😊
I feel that N250 is creating a New Fan base. I bought ns200 10 days back and returned coz i need lower rpm torque and not much power. So than took test drive of N250 and here u go..m only worried about mileage as some of em says it gives 18-21 ka mileage.
Hey Hiten! It was not that low in our tests for sure
@@motorinc Not sure but than some users mentioned that they get 18-21 mileage..I am expecting atleast 32-35.
Because the n250 got 21.2 nm of torque while the ns200 has 18.5 nm of torque. Ns has a 199.8cc engine while N250 has 249.07cc engine. Hp is same 24.5. But the N250 has a larger engine (around 49cc more) and 2.5 nm more torque making it having more powerful in low end. The only thing I hate is they dont offer more vibrant colors on N.
Hi, you took delivery of a new bike? Which city, if you dont mind me asking? In Chennai, Tamil nadu, dealers are definite that N250 has been discontinued. I have hence booked a N160.
@@jeswinjohn3923 Yes in Mumbai it is available.
Bajaj was on a roll in the 2000s with the Pulsar and Avenger. They were clearly sorted. Pulsar for sporty riding, Avenger for cruising, Discover for slightly sporty commuting and Platina/CT/Boxer for city commuting duties.
All of this has gone for a toss since KTM. The Avenger is grossly ignored, while they are trying to sell the Pulsar as sports bikes, commuter bikes, adventure bikes, tourers, etc. The only thing keeping Bajaj afloat is foreign markets, hence Bajaj will never be able to do justice to modern day Indian motorcycle market.
Great point! We hadn't though of like that... thanks Vyshak!
I hope they launch new colours for N250 because its perfect now with Dual channel ABS. The E20 compliant N250 is available at showrooms currently but the F250 isn't updated at all , i think with arrival of NS200 with Dual channel ABS and USD forks plus 220f being out of the grave like Undertaker Bajaj has decided to not update F250 because people are not buying it over 220f. They are like why should I buy buy the ugly looking bike with less mileage when I can get 220f which is better looking too with less price.
I personally think that 220f should get retro treatment and comeback as pulsar classic with fork gators , dual channel ABS etc . Bajaj doesn't need to work hard on it. It can challenge RE 350 classic with its own legacy and history, Bajaj has seriously lost the battle with Dominar nameplate when they tried challenging RE classic 350 and Thunderbird in the past.
Anyway the N250 is at full advantage right now because there is no FZ25, F250 to challenge it to become the new market leader in 250cc segment.
There are 3 bikes which are missing in action now .i.e F250 FZ25 and the overpriced Hornet 2.0 which are unofficially discontinued as there are no bikes in the showrooms and the respective manufacturers have not given any statement regarding these bikes . Please clear the confusion regarding it because its hard to decipher whether they will be back with E20 compliant engine or not?
It appears that the Japanese are going a bit slow with rolling out the E20/OBDII bikes Ashutosh for sure. But great points in your comment! Thanks!
It's a no nonsense bike for the masses.. Comfy, smooth, refined, peppy, decently practical and sporty as well.. Just that it misses on stuff like a 6th gear, liquid colling, bluetooth connectivity, ETC, it excels in every aspect.. But I think Bajaj has to work on their lineup, it's just too confusing for a customer 😮
Agreed!
I want a NS250 for the adrenaline rush missing in the N250,🔥
At the moment, Bajaj doesn't have a 250cc engine that does that though
Keep it up MotorINC and Shumi
Thanks for being with us!
Nice video Shumi.. i am referring to your videos quite a bit now. your content is really different than others. I am looking to buy a new bike 250+ cc bikes. I have decided to test rides KTM 250 first. Do you have any other suggestions? My ride is mostly within city and occassional long rides.
N250 vs cb300f please.😅
Most hilarious statement of video- i saw N250 coming but when it came nearby it was a 125 and after it passed by realised it was an mt15 😂
2011 pulsar 150 dtsi owner here.
I just bought a 2.5k run 8month old n250 at great price. And as you rightly said it does not feel like a pulsar. . . I COULDNT AGREE MORE!!!
So, I will just get rid of the pulsar sticker and treat it as n250😅. Coz I love everything it offers.
Thanks for sharing! Congratulations!
How much did u pay for it ?
1.25L
With Pulsars it was never about comfort and topping the speeds
It was all about pushing the engine to the redline and RPM Limit light blinking dangerously
And praying for just this once the engine shouldn't rip itself apart
And the sheer joy and pride of having a Pulsar
Exactly!
Exactly!
I just owned n250 last month i just wanna say who every the budget of 2lakh just go for it !its a amazing bike
Hello bhai ! I'm thinking of getting one. Is there any issue that you are facing? Did yours have an Appollo or Mrf tyre ? Have heard a lot of people complaining about the cornering is it that bad? Plus what are the mileage figures that your are getting? Thanks bhai waiting for your reply.
hey, can you kindly share how your experience with n250 so far
We also need an Avenger 250 or A250 or something more updated... 😁
💯
An A250 would be excellent
Aapka English to bahot smooth hai 🙂👌
Dhanyawaad.
Another awesome video with ample detail and very calm narrative, a welcome change. Thanks to everyone at motorinc. Watching the video I am thinking of buying the N250, but i have been an avid Yamaha fan and had my heart set on the FZS25. But its nowhere to be found except on the Yamaha website. Will the N250 be a good alternative? Kindly advise. EDIT- Yamaha website nor online shop shows FZ/FZS25, guess it's discontinued for sure☹️
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, the N250 is a pretty competent bike.
Turning radius is too short that one thing I will complain about N250 , I replaced the handle bar with fz .
It has comfort. Decent mileage (38kmpl)، low maintenence, very good pick up and torque.
I hardly click 5th gear in city rides. It has heating issues as well
That's strange for it to have hearting issues.
You guy's are doing just awesome! But why don't you make videos on
Apache RR310
Suzuki Gixxer SF250
Ktm Duke 250 etc....
Shumi missed telling about the brilliant headlight. Even the DRLs are pretty bright
Thank you for sharing.
It has the pulsar vibe.. Real OG Pulsar lovers know that the old Pulsars actually had a strong mid range punch.. The current Pulsars are more of KTMs rather than being a Pulsar.. The looks are also kept in mind to sync with the first Pulsars ❤
Interesting! Thanks for your perspective DMV4!
Does the new pulsars have weaker middle punch?
Maybe Bajaj should be bold and build a liquid cooled twin cylinder 500. I am sure by now they have enough expertise. Pulsars were technically the first high performance naked bikes in the market and now it is a bit swamped. Instead of reinventing the wheel, build something which is aspirational and not a biz case. Same can be said for Hero too. Make for the world as you said in a previous video.
Exactly! It is about time both Bajaj and Hero came up with their very own twin or multicylinder bikes.
Shumi please make a video on Riding gears, whats good and whats not
Hi sir , which bike is best in Mostly city & sometimes highway riding.....N160 or NS160
Make a video on the 2024 duke 390❤
Honestly, I like both the N250 and the CB300F. That thing about 'soul' - maybe because I'm a totally new rider, I don't really get what that means. To me, both felt equally exciting, light and loveable; the N250 did feep a bit heavier at stop-and-go traffic, though.
There used to be a time I wanted the CB350RS, but having sat on all 3 bikes, I was able to totally flatfoot the CB300F better. The N250 is a close second.
And now, I can't decide which to buy...🤦🏻♂️
Which one did you enjoy _more,_ Farhan?
@@motorinc In terms of enjoyment, both are equal, just like I said above.
But if I focus on the _"more"_ , the CB300F's 15 cm wide rear tyre, 79 cm seat height and 152 kg kerb weight did make me feel *_more_* in control.
The choice becomes difficult because I think I can eek out more mileage from the N250. I've spoken to a few people and one of them was able to stretch it to 48 km/L! On the 300F, I feel like it'll be just above or below 40 km/L with my riding style.
The choice is kind of between more mileage and more sureness.
@@Farhan_049 if i may offer advice, mileage is mileage. yes, we are not all the same financially but its important to ask ourselves this question : if mileage really is our number 1 factor, then why aren't we buying a splendor?
if you feel that the cb300f would be more fun and enjoyable for you, then i would suggest you get it. if you got a bike that isnt as suited for you just for some extra mileage, you will surely keep on second guessing. and trust me, second guessing your purchase especially on a machine that you intend to have fun and make memories on, is not a healthy thought to have on your mind.
Good point Apolloxlix!
@@apolloxlix679 You're right. I'll test the CB300F again just to be sure. It was just one test ride with my Sister and she felt okay with it. This time, I should take either Dad or Mom on it.
But most likely, I'll end up buying the 300F. That bike felt safer.
Thank you for the wonderful videos. It would be so good to see a review of Honda hornet 2.0 from Motorinc. It seems to be very good when compared to most 160cc vehicles if the focus is on easy performance with the guaranteed reliability of Honda and comparable mileage. It also seems to have bad headlights and hard suspension, so would be great to have some type of comparison of this bike with the 160cc segment. Please?
220f still rules our heart, n250 is nice to have but would rather have 220f than f250
Thanks for letting us know!
One weird thing i have noticed, any 250cc bike no matter what are not doing any well be it n250, Fz250, gixxer 250 or duke 250. Either they've very average sales or no sales.
For the moment, everyone's expecting that the market will graduate to the 250 from what is the 160-180cc space right now in a few years though
The new 250 Pulsars are meant for a guy like me who enjoyed his college years on the Pulsars of the older DNA and has now evolved in an upper middle class family man, who wants to travel from one place to another with a smile on his face.
In that regard, that quintessential Pulsar feeling is missing in the new gen bikes.
@@motorinc Absolutely, how can we phrase it, they aren’t pulsating anymore…
Waiting for F250! Any updates on the E20 OBD2 model?
We're not sure F's are in production or not... sales have been very poor for that specific model
Would like to make a wish can we see behind the scenes shots in coming days... ❤
Great suggestion! We could think about it.
If they've named these bikes discover it'd have made more sense...🤔 Because till now I cannot understand where it stands actually... See for example in case of TVS they've RTR 160 2V RTR 160 4V and all but in this case they made First standard 150 and lot's of variants then NS 160 then N160 and then again P150 or something... so In comparision to NS 160 the N160 has cradle frame 2V single spark (dual spark isn't that relevant I guess after FI) engine I can't understand what these motorcycle trying to achieve? Is it just to add LED lighting and new speedometer console? Looking at the spec sheet I'm not so impressed. I was hoping for 4V short stroke highrev loving engine but I guess for now it falls behind NS in that case (if we compare the 200cc segment N250 220f D250 NS200)
Yes, the Pulsar product range right now is messy, confusing and it's hard to understand why Bajaj would do it this way
One of the best reviews
Thank you!
Hello shumi sir, would you recommend this as a 1st bike to a 19 year old guy who has little to no riding experience. I am 18 right now and intend to purchase this bike some time next year. I was interested in this bike since fairly long and got excited when i saw this vid in my home page. I was kind of disappointed to learn that this bike didnt have a 6th gear but my main concern is that i might get bored of its looks rather quickly. My secondary choice is the honda cb300r and im waiting for the launch of apache rtr 310 as well. Would appreciate your opinion.
Yes, the N250 should make a decent bike as a first bike. You can choose to wait for the RTR310 if you like, but generally, we don't like recommending bikes over 250cc/30bhp for new riders
Confused between n250, rtr200 and tvs ronin. I drive mostly in city. Please suggest.
An OG. 220f would always remain the best despite of new alternatives been launched but this is because it stole the show back in those days n still steals the heart of many💯
