  • The Bajaj Pulsar N250 arrived to replace the Pulsar 220F. That has not happened. Now Bajaj has rolled out an update for 2024 that ups the value quotient of the N250. On MotorInc First, Shumi and Kartikeya discuss whether the N250, a great commuter as it is, is now a great Pulsar or not.

    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)

    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.

    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.

    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💀

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.

    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.

    Hello both - thanks for the review.
    Just curious - for eg., Shumi said that the UX/UI was not enjoyable or a pleasant experience (more or less). How do you determine this - when you say that it's not good, what's your baseline - is it coming from your experience on premium machines (Multis, Busas etc.) or is this perspective coming from what you've experienced in the range in which the motorcycle sits in or belongs to?
    Cheers!

    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 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).

    Just managed to get a test ride few days back. I was at around 105 on 4th gear, the bike was kind of nervous. It showed some sign of wobbling. I shifted up to 5th with a little higher force than usual on the lever and the bike wobbled like crazy. If I had encountered even any minor bumps, I might have fallen off. Thankfully the road was smooth. I was waiting for this bike to relaunch for the last 8 months. Now I have to look for something else. Is this behaviour normal on all N250s or an issue with my test ride bike? Have you felt anything similar to this?

    Is this suspension setup the case for the new n160 as well, as you guys said the old one has a stiff rear suspension but the leaning and stuff is fine (leaning at 60 to 70 in butterfly bridges and stuff is good ) got it 6 months back and since i ride 90% in highway only for office commutes it is fine but 1 steps softer is better than stock in city as well but the one thing i noticed is the rear brakes even with dual channel abs locks, got the brake pads changed in warranty after that also it is better but it still locks up in some cases.

    I had a question,
    do you look at the spec sheet first and pay great attention to it to gather all the info before the ride or
    Do you first ride the bike and have a feel for it then look at the spec sheet and say yes the feeling of the ride is justified by the spec on the paper??

    • @motorinc
      @motorinc  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Depends, Shashank. For MotorInc First, we prefer to listen to the logic/solution side of the vehicle's story very closely. Sometimes this needs corroboration with the spec sheet. Post-test, you'll sometimes need spec sheets to validate certain things you felt/noticed. And finally, it's good to know certain aspects of the vehicle in comparison to its rivals where again, a combination of feelings/assessments and the spec sheet may be required. What we stopped doing right at the start, is creating content when _only_ a spec sheet is available, before riding and driving it. That's almost completely pointless content.

    I am 6.4 and I was wondering if my height is not suited for the KTM. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    I am currently using RE Electra 350 with 1120mm height. So will the drastic change of height to 835mm going to effect my body ergonomically over a period of time?
    Furthermore, I dont use my RE much often now a days as I drive my car around whenever required. So the new change of vehicle is only to experience for specific rides and fulfill the teenage fantasy of having a sports bike. Any comments would be really appreciated. TY.

    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 😂).

    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.

    being a student who has to commute a lot , I was massively massively confused between the n250 and a ns200. The N250 was newer was higher quality, the NS was sportier and supported my student DNA. i didnt get to ride these machines a lot, and due to the very short test rides offered, i had no idea how those bike felt in the real conditions on the long stretch. looking at the Exited shumi when he presented the NS, it is the pulsar to go.

    Dear motorInc should I changed the rear suspension of N250 with gas charged suspension of NS 200

      That may not work, @mitonbike. They have two different frames and we believe two entirely different suspension lengths for the rear monoshock

    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

    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.
