Bajaj Pulsar N250: Same Price, Other Options

Not sold on the new quarter-litre Pulsar? The market has plentiful options to offer

Not sold on the new quarter-litre Pulsar? The market has plentiful options to offer

Bajaj has finally entered the quarter-litre segment with the Pulsar N250. The bikemaker has launched the naked motorcycle at an alluring price tag of Rs 1.38 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). However, if you are still exploring options, here’s what the market has to offer for that kind of moolah:



TVS Apache RTR 200 4V: Rs 1,38,115
Okay, the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V may not be as powerful as the Pulsar N250 but it pleases you with its technical advancements. From riding modes and adjustable suspension to slipper clutch and Glide Through Traffic (GTT) tech, the bike can take spirited riding as well as commuting. At just around Rs 115 over the Pulsar, it is too good an option to not consider.

Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220: Rs 1,32,640
Looking for something more laidback and easy-going than the Pulsar? Well, its cousin fits right in. The Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 is a tried and tested formula, and the 19.5PS and 17.5Nm may not seem much, but is apt for a cruiser. That said, while the low seat height and comfortable ergos make touring a breeze, the long wheelbase isn’t the best to cut through city traffic.



Yamaha MT-15: Rs 1,45,900
A liquid-cooled engine with variable valve actuation, 6-speed transmission with slip-and-assist clutch and lighter by 24kg! Now, doesn’t that sound exciting? While the Yamaha MT-15 has a sophisticated engine and is lighter, the 18.5PS and 13.9Nm isn’t close to the N250’s performance, but if it’s a city slicker you are looking for, the MT-15 will surely bring a grin on your face.



Suzuki Gixxer SF: Rs 1,27,364
Fan of faired motorcycles? The Suzuki Gixxer SF is a good option to go with. The Japanese bike has a sporty design, but the ergonomics aren’t too focused, so commuting or grocery runs would be as enjoyable as your weekend jaunts to the twisties. That said, the 13.6PS and 13.8Nm output figures are a bit of a letdown.



Yamaha Aerox 155: Rs 1,29,000
Motorcycles are fun, but sometimes not practical. But Yamaha seems to have found a way around that with the introduction of the Aerox 155 maxi-scooter. With 15PS on offer, it is the most powerful scooter on sale in India at the moment. It also flaunts premium features like LED illumination and smartphone connectivity. Also, with 24 litres of underseat storage, practicality hasn’t been compromised either.

Pulsar N250 - Amazing Machine

I chose this bike for it's looks, easy spare parts availability and uniqueness on roads. This is one of the cheapest 250cc out there. It provides almost all the modern technologies like riding modes, Dual-channel ABS, Traction control, Bluetooth navigation, etc. I liked the seating posture and seat height it is very accessible to all types of riders. I like bikes having good low-end torque for effortless city riding and this machine has very good low to mid range torque so these are the reasons I chose this beautiful machine. The overall ride quality is very good. The suspension is not that stiff and you will definitely feel the adrenaline rush due to it's power. This is a very good city machine as well as capable on highways. On highways you can easily cruise at 80-100 km/h without much stress on the engine. I must say that the engine is very refined and smooth.The pickup is great and it has very good midrange performance. I am getting mileage of around 38 km/l which is decent for a 250cc. You can get mileage of 45 on highways if you cruise at a constant speed. The stability of this bike at speeds of 90-100 is decent but I am not sure about the high stability post 120 km/h. You feel the absence of a 6th gear on highways sometimes but the bike manages the gear ratios pretty well. Overall I'll say this bike has got a very punchy and refined engine. The braking is very good and the front brake response is very satisfying you will feel confident while riding this machine. The exhaust sound is very bassy and head-turning. People will definitely notice you. The pillion seat and rear suspension is a bit on stiffer side but it is good for cities. One thing I must mention is it's class-leading led projector headlights.The throw is very amazing and you will feel confidence on highways.No other bike in this segment provides such powerful headlights. So let's come to conclusion Will I recommend this bike I would say if you love bike having great low and mid range torque refined engine then you should definitely go for N250.But if you want a better highway machine having liquid looked technology and better high speed stability then you can look at NS200. Overall both the bikes have their own pros and cons and it all depends on what kind of rider you are and what you want. At last I would say you can buy N250 it will not disappoint. You will love riding it. I hope this review helps you find your perfect ride, Thanks...Read More

The perfect everyday street fighter

I chose this bike for eye catchy look, good mileage, good performance in reasonable price as well as an Indian brand so that parts availability is good plus most important thing it sounds very good and sporty. I face some issues regarding electronics but never about bikes performance i had done long trips in my bike no performance issues so far as well as on highway you can get good average comfortable ride. A person who wants powerful performance in city as well as highway and those who commute on daily basis it's is good for college students who's college is in city area plus a person who want good touring bike under 2 lakh and doesn't care about 120 above speed should definitely buy this bike.Read More

Strong and Stylish All-Rounder

I picked the N250 because I wanted a strong bike that can handle city and highway. The style looked sharp and I liked its color. My friend had one and he said it is smooth. I wanted a bike that feels solid and comfortable for long rides. It seemed like the perfect mix of fun and work use. Riding this bike has been exciting. The engine feels strong and smooth. I took it on highways and it handled curves well. The brakes are strong and seat is soft. Even in traffic, it feels stable. I enjoy the look and the sound. Each ride makes me feel confident and happy. I would tell my friends to try it. It is good for young riders and those who like speed. The bike feels solid and safe. It looks cool and runs smooth. City or highway, it is easy to ride. I feel proud when I ride it and it is worth the money.Read More

Designed for Urban Roads

I picked this bike because it gives solid mileage and feels sturdy. Needed something for daily rides that wouldn’t burn much fuel. The seat height and looks matched my comfort and taste perfectly. Engine feels refined and noise-free. Feels smooth on the road, even in traffic. Engine runs clean, gears shift well. I use it almost every day to go to college. It has not given me any trouble so far. Very reliable on both short and long routes. I’d say this bike suits anyone who rides daily. Great mileage, easy handling, and not much maintenance needed. It’s simple, affordable, and works without drama. Great for office rides and errands. Bought it for solid road presence.Read More

Pulsar N250 : The bike of my dreams

The Pulsar N250 is easily the best naked bike under 2 lakhs (pre-GST update). It delivers an amazing pull in the low and mid range, offers great city mileage of around 40 kmpl, and comes with fantastic brakes that stop exactly when you need them to. Its stylish and aggressive design genuinely makes you want to turn back and admire it every time. I also considered the NS200, which performs better on highways but returns lower mileage in the city. Since my primary use case is daily city riding with occasional long rides, the N250 was the perfect fit. The Pulsar N250 delivers impressive mileage with around 40 kmpl in the city and about 43 kmpl on the highway while cruising between 70 and 80 kmph. It has a strong pull in the low and mid range, a torque rich engine, and excellent brakes that give a lot of confidence. Both rider and pillion get comfortable seating and the sporty and aggressive design makes the bike stand out. The headlight throw is among the best in this segment and the suspension feels stable on highways which makes relaxed cruising very easy. Service and maintenance are also affordable. On the negative side there can be a rare wobble above 120 kmph and the handlebar may feel slightly short for some people. The rear mudguard is not very effective, the suspension feels a little stiff in the city, and the mirrors are average. The instrument cluster is also not bright enough under strong afternoon sunlight. Absolutely recommended. If you want a bike with strong pull and power, stylish and head turning looks, and something that does not put a strain on your wallet, this is the right choice. It gives good mileage, delivers a thrilling experience on highways, and can even give you goosebumps when taking curves.Read More
