#bajaj #pulsarf250 #review #2024
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 :)
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.
@@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.
For me the headlight design looks like suzuki burgman 🥲
P220 or f220
My f250 has driven 21000 km without a single issue
I don't know man it doesn't give a rocky and Aggresive feel by looks and engine even tho it fared .
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 🙃
True
I have clocked 39000 kms in 2 years... Still enjoying it till date.. i have upgraded my tire size..
To which size?
Stock rear is 130. You can upgrade to 140/70 R17 . New N250 gets 140 section as stock.
Are bajaj engines especially this bike's engine reliable for long term???
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)
Finally someone understand my thinking ☺... it is Best Affordable 250cc Comfortable All Rounder Bike.
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 :)
discontinued ? no because bajaj recently showed 250f in pulsar ns400 launch event
Hey, yes Bajaj did show it, but they've not officially launched the 2024 F250. We expect them to do the same soon though. Hope that helps :)
Bhai f250 2024 a gyi hai dekhi kya 😂😂😂
Why can't bajaj launch avenger with this engine
As its a relaxed engine , it'll suit well to the avenger
Nice review man... This is the perfect bike for the indian roads imo. Hate to see its not doing well.
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?
My brother had this mischievous thought of removing the Pulsar badging and replace them with Discover badges.
The moto-troll strikes again, lol.
Ahahahaha
But funnily enough, if this was branded as the Discover 250, we would've had no problems with it being slightly unexciting. Don't you think?
@@nishaadjoshi605 It wouldn't sell. Look what happened to the Discover 150 and the ST, which looks like the F250.
@@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
Hi @Zig wheels I need your suggestion I am planning with my RS200 BS3 with the latest N250, The replacement is worthy?
Definitely not
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
Please review f250 new model 2024 please sir
Please video new f250 2024 model please sir
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? 😅
@@nishaadjoshi605 missing means engine RPM fluctuating when reving the accelerator.
@@subratshrivastava7487 Ahh, got it! Are you still facing the issue, Subrat?
@@nishaadjoshi605 yes. Jabtak engine thanda rahta hai bike missing karta hai . Par ek baar jab engine garam ho jaaye fir nhi hota missing ka problem.
King Nishaad 🔥 📛❤❤
This Looks like Discover 150 from past!!!! I wanted it to look more like AS0200
Oooo. An AS250 could be interesting! But wouldn't you have preferred something more like the bikini fairing of the 220F?
@@nishaadjoshi605 it is interesting to imagine but i will still want something can do offroading like himalyian
Any update on F250 2024 launch Date??
Hey Raghu, it will likely happen in the coming month or two
@@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.
@@raghu_rsb Bajaj hasn't listed the 2024 F250 on its website as of yet, so the brand hasn't officially launched it. We are waiting just for that :)
Please someone tell Bajaj that what they need is a F400. Nobody is making a bikni fairing street bike in that category and they can easily do it.
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?
As400. Like we used to have AS200. Semi fairing. Dominar engine is good.
@@shankschow But do you think people would buy it? Given we have SO many options in the 400cc market right now
@@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? 🤔
I have red colour F250 ❤ from Kanyakumari
RS 200 main update kab ayega?
Time hai sir thoda. Bajaj abhi apna focus dusri bikes pe kar raha hai. Hope that helps :)
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.
0:02 *NO ! THIS ISN'T THE BIGGEST PULSAR YET !* 😊
Hi sir, sorry this video was recorded some time ago, and then it was. Sorry for the slight mess up. Thanks for pointing it out, we appreciate it :)
mileage?
You can get around 40kmpl. Hope that helps :)
Why did they discontinue it tho?😮 They should’ve discontinued the ugly 220f
Hey man. The 220F is actually selling a lot more than the F250 so in business sense, that made more sense for Bajaj. Hope that helps :)
please bajaj relaunch it i want to buy one
pulsar f250decency
Hey. The 2024 F250 will soon be officially launched so don't worry. Hope that helps, thanks for the comment :)
Got the budget & now discontinued😢
its relaunched, while launching ns400z
@@ironcladd8524 nice. But I contacted Bajaj showroom 2 days ago. They were like - f250 still discontinued🥲
Haha aww. The new F250's prices will be announced soon, don't worry! Till then, you have the 2024 N250 too :)
@@nishaadjoshi605 😯
Bajaj should have been launched this in 160 segments with reduced weight..
2021 look pulsar 250f
well this is not the biggest pulsar anymore
This was shot a while ago, hence the mistake. Thank you for pointing that out :)
It still is..
The new ns400 is exactly the same in terms of size as that of Ns160
First view 🎉❤
Biggest pulsar?????
This was shot a while ago, hence the mistake. Thank you for pointing that out :)
Good looks? Lmao, sure!
how early of you. The fuckin disgrace this motorcycle was has been discontinued due to low sales
Hey man, the 2024 F250 will be officially launched soon. Hope that helps :)
Please guys don't try to sell rejected bikes
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 :)
Who's gonna buy this now?
The market for this would be people who want a good-looking, comfortable, smooth commuter. That's about it.
@@nishaadjoshi605 its discontinued...
About being good looking..😂 .
F250 ❌, Discover250 ✅.
first !!!!
Pulsar F250 is not good looking, has no road presence whatsoever.
Still better than the Ns400
Unfortunately, yes
Flop model of bajaj 😅
2024 end me discontinue ho jayega ye bike..
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 :)
Isse achcha design 220F ka h, 220F m iska engine aajaye toh maza hi aajaye
