Bajaj Pulsar F250

Detailed Review by Maxabout Team

Overview

On October 28 last year, Pulsar completed its 20 years and on this occasion, Bajaj launched two bikes in the Pulsar series in the Indian market. The two bikes that have been added in the series are the Pulsar F250 and N250, which are semi-faired and naked segment sports bikes respectively. Bajaj Pulsar is listed among the five most influential bikes in modern Indian history. The original Pulsars were game-changers that let Bajaj stand where the company is today, as a global motorcycle giant. Twenty years after the originals, today’s new Pulsars aim to change the game rather than enrich and enhance what the Pulsar has to offer.

Bajaj Pulsar F250 Design and Style

The new motorcycles feature completely fresh designs with plenty of things resembling the existing Pulsar lineup. The differences between the naked and the semi-faired F250 are clearly in the front. Both bikes share the same fuel tanks, side profile and tail section. The rear looks smart with a large split seat, nice curve to the body panels as they meet the model version of the Classic Pulsar tail-amp. Over at the front, both use the same projector LED headlamps but they get different running lamps and of course, the F variant gets a semi fairing. They both rather are nice looking machines although they are not super attention-grabbing. The F250 is a more familiar design, this is quite a bit of the old pulsar 220 in its face and the old AS200 in the overall layout.

Bajaj Pulsar F250 Engine and Gearbox

The 2022 Bajaj Pulsar F250 is powered by a 249.07cc, SOHC, and oil-cooled single-cylinder engine that churns out a maximum power of 24.5hp at 8750rpm and generates a top torque of 21.5Nm at 6500rpm and is coupled with 5-speed constant mesh gearbox along with assist and slipper clutch.
