F250 is a very sweet, butter smooth and versatile bike. Just that it lacks the madness of P220. It feels like a grown up Honda Unicorn rather than a Pulsar.
@@bhaskardebnath2308 in pics, from some angles, it looks like Discover 150F. But when riding, it feels a lot like Unicorn - the creamy smoothness and strong low end torque.
It was good that Bajaj showed some maturity with this bike rather than just playing to their same old chappri gallery.They showed intentions of growing as a bike maker. I am sure the design flaws will be addressed in the future iterations.
If you see it that way, sure :) Design is subjective and some people would want something more aggressive, some would want it a bit more mature. Thanks for the comment, hope you enjoyed the video :)
The 220F is laughing in the corner. All Bajaj needed to do, was give the features, and this new engine onto the 220F's traditional styling, it would have sold so well. This looks like a Discover F and not a Pulsar.
Unfortunately, the styling isn't the biggest factor differentiating this from the 220F. The engine, it's not exciting as the 220F and that's the biggest difference. Hope that helps :)
@@nishaadjoshi605 Yes, it lacks that roughness. The 220F was a revelation when it came out, we saw nothing like it in our market ever. Even Bajaj doesn't know how to replace the 220F.
@@BrattyBiker Exactly. The Pulsars have always stood for something special, something ahead of their time. The F250, while it's good and practical, it's not exactly exciting.
It looks like the Discover F in pics , but in person it looks really unique and good. The main issue is that it lacks the madness of OG P220F. F250 is super smooth and tame, which are not pulsar characteristics. If anything, it feels like a grownup Honda Unicorn rather than a Pulsar 🙃
Was in the market to replace my NS200. Tried the F250 when it launched and loved it so it was always on my list. But when my time came it was discontinued, so after evaluating all the other options i went ahead with Ronin (now people might say Ronin isn't an upgrade over NS, i get that but i needed something for city commutes more than how its gonna be on highways so overall I'm happy with the purchase. Ronin has really made my commutes super easy, but there's something in the F250 design, I've always been fascinated by semi faired motorcycles)
Two issues you mentioned i have never ever faced them on my n250 yet. Sure the dte is a bit meh but the fuel gauge works well and the brakes are the best i have ever used on any bike. I would go as far as saying the brakes on the 250s are better than on the dominars.
Hey Mustafa, thank you for the comment. The brake fade can still differ from bike to bike, depending on how much you use them. And if the fuel gauge works well on your bike, great for you! Wishing you many safe miles on it. Thanks for commenting :)
@@DayumSonny That's true too. Maybe they need a new brand to differentiate their line of commuter-ish bikes? Because the new Pulsars are good but definitely not exciting, something that the Pulsar brand has always stood for
Even though it looks good, as many commented, it looks like an evolution of the Discover 135 or 150F fairing, but it doesn't have that pulsating aggressive look. I can understand why Bajaj went with this design, as the way the engine and overall bike character feel suggests they wanted it to be a smooth, nimble commuterish bike rather than an aggressive, thrill-filled one like the NS. So it's just their choice, but it doesn't mean they can't make a more aggressive version. I just wish Bajaj would make the outer fairing a bit more aggressive to give it more of a Pulsar feel. If they're worried about sales, they could bring in a new variant with a 6th gear and 4 valves, basically an N/F 250 4V, alongside the current model and keep the one that sells well. I feel the F250 or N250 with a 4-valve engine and 6th gear would definitely do better than the current models. I did share this feedback with Bajaj too, and I wish they would consider bringing it in, at least by 2025.
That's exactly what we're saying, Raghu. Glad you think the same :) While this commuter-like, safe design isn't something wrong, it's just that Pulsars have always stood for excitement more than anything else. So for a bike that has the Pulsar badge, it's only fair for us to expect a bit more excitement, a bit more aggression. No?
I bought this bike 1yr ago and just completed 10000 kms and completed 3rd service. This biggest issue with this bike is it's rear break. It has no power to slow down the bike, must be some ABS sensor issue. Front brake is little bit good and powerful but rear brake is life a bycycle brake. Engine missing problem is there also but once engine warmed it's gone. Getting 45kmpl mileage
Hey Subrat that's lovely! Hoping you many more safe miles on the bike. As for the rear brake, it's actually better to mainly only use the front one so we wouldn't bother too much about the rear one And 45kmpl is not bad at all, good for you! As for the 'engine missing' problem, what exactly what do you mean by that? 😅
@@Navyguy they are actually build by bajaj but founder's technology was provided by KTM more like china and manufacturing. KTM know what to build and bajaj knows the implementation. Through the learnings during their partnership they build the 220F's engine from scratch that's pure Indian and continuous to F & N series bikes . Where as NS and RS are Rebadged Ktm RC and Duke
@@nishaadjoshi605 Thanks for the reply but they have launched it as seen without USD forks & with the same price as *N250* . So, they haven't given USD forks which adds overall cost of 2k if we go with earlier prices B/W the 250 duo's.
@@nishaadjoshi605 Still waiting for the listing. Not sure what's stopping them from just listing the bike. That would give confidence to the potential customers who are willing to buy.
Hey Krishnaraj. While new N250 is an easy going, refined bike, its engine is nowhere close to being as exciting as the 199cc liquid cooled engine on the RS200. So if that sort of excitement is what you're looking for, we'd advise you not to get the N250 and maybe think about the 250 Duke instead, if you want something in the 250cc segment
Hey Hardik, that can actually be a good idea! A 400cc bike with a bikini fairing could be interesting. Which engine would you want to see in it? Dominar, Speed 400 or the new 390 Duke?
@@nishaadjoshi605 as bajaj has tried with the naked version of ns200 and as200 previously but at that time adventure bikes were not so popular. But now adventure bikes are on high demand so from that point of view i suggested that they should consider in bringing back the AS400. And it will sell considering the aggressive pricing of bajaj and wide service network.
@@shankschow That's true but the thing is the AS200 wasn't really an ADV, when you think about it. It didn't have a bigger front wheel, extra ground clearance or even suspension travel. So it's not exactly an ADV...do you still think it'd sell as much as ADVs? 🤔
after trying it for a test ride I can say it does not have that pulsar DNA. and also does not look like an upgrade to pulsar 220F but to a discover 150F.
If only they had updated the 220f with all these technology, it would have broken the sales chart again like it did 14 years ago, but bajaj's new management team is good for nothing.
Hey Sidhant, we aren't trying to sell it. We're just saying it's a good, easy going commuter and that's about it. Hope that helps, thanks for watching the video :)
Ziggwheels and exaggerated mileage figures is a love-story as old as time😂. 40kmpl in city is believeable but 48 is too much for a 250cc commuter bike in pune where traffic is as bad as Mumbai. And don't tell me that your reviewers are good at getting mileage out of bikes and cars 😂. You guys had the gall to claim nearly 70kmpl mileage from FZ V4 🤣😆.
Hey Aashutosh, the F250 is a torquey engine that's very easy to ride. You can just slot it in a gear and carry it throughout your commute, it's that easy, meaning the engine is not stressed at all and neither are there frequent gear shifts. So 48kmpl isn't unattainable. Hope that helps, thanks for the comment :)
To all those who said Discover, Check AS200 & its design elements are carried over to this, even the curves on fairing
Hi Prashant, the Discover comes from certain specific angles...so yeah
F250 is a very sweet, butter smooth and versatile bike. Just that it lacks the madness of P220. It feels like a grown up Honda Unicorn rather than a Pulsar.
Very nicely put and very apt! It's practical but is 'practicality' what you want from a Pulsar? Maybe not....
Thanks for the comment :)
Or maybe a discover.
