The real gem is the ECU. Do a good remap on this bike and it transforms. It's like unlocking hidden potential. Add a free flow exhaust to that and you have a serious performer.

The elephant in the room is warranty. Bajaj has been pretty strict about mods voiding warranty. This means that while you can mod the N250, you’re going to be at the risk of losing your warranty coverage. It's a trade-off.

Subtle mods work best on the N250, I've found. Maybe a slip on exhaust, better air filter, and steel braided brake lines. The result is to enhance the bike without significantly altering its character or reliability.

I could do a 1000km weekend trip on my N250 and I gotta say, it surprised me. Long rides ergonomics are spot on, and the engine is relaxed at highway speeds. It isn't a dedicated tourer but it's a good enough long ride bike.

I've toured on both the old 220F and the N250, so I have mixed feelings. Of course the N250 is much more comfortable and refined, but I do miss the raw highway punch of the 220F. Fully loaded with luggage and a pillion it feels a bit underpowered.

People are forgetting about N250's fuel efficiency on tours. On highways, I always get over 40 km/l, so no more fuel stop and more time on the road. That’s a big plus for touring in my book.

It’s a compromise, let’s be real. As far as weekend getaways and short tours go, it’s good enough, but if you are serious about long distance riding, you’d be better off with something like the Dominar 400. What the N250 just doesn’t have is the extra oomph and features for hardcore touring.

With a few mods, I’ve found the N250 to be a capable tourer. Just add a taller windscreen, some soft panniers, and a comfy seat cover and you have a decent touring setup for not a lot of money.

Touring the real MVP is the headlight. It’s bright and has a good spread, which takes the sting out of night riding. It’s something that gets overlooked but is crucial for long rides.

For long tours I find the N250 a bit cramped as a tall rider. On longer rides the pegs are a tad too rear set for my liking. After a few hours, it’s fine, but beyond that and I start to feel it out in my knees.
How does the Pulsar N250 handle compared to its competitors?
30 January 2025 09:32
I’ve ridden both the N250 and the Gixxer 250 and I gotta say, the Pulsar feels more planted in corners. While it’s not as flickable as the Gixxer, there’s more confidence when you’re really leaning into a turn.

In reality, I believe the FZ25 has the upper hand in handling. The N250 is good, don’t get me wrong, but the FZ’s chassis just feels more intuitive when you’re pushing it.

The N250 is spot on for handling as a daily commuter. Yet somehow it’s nimble enough for city traffic yet stable on the highway. It’s a good balance for the most situations.

As the N250 came from a KTM Duke 200, I was expecting to be disappointed with the handling. But I was pleasantly surprised. It's not as razor sharp as the Duke, but it's easier to live with day to day and is more forgiving.

I think people are not considering the tire factor. The N250 comes with decent stock tires but replacing them with some stickier rubber really makes a world of difference in handling. It transforms the bike.

At this price point, you can’t expect supersport level handling let’s be real. The N250 handles for what it is. Predictable, no surprises – what most riders in this segment want.

The N250 is a touch too soft for aggressive riding, I've found. For cruising and gentle cornering it is great but hard push it and the suspension setup will feel its limits.
Does the Pulsar N250 deliver on Bajaj’s promise of improved refinement?
30 January 2025 09:32
Having put over 10,000 km on my N250, I can vouch for it being a big step up in refinement over older Pulsars. At higher revs, the engine is butter smooth — the vibrations are minimal. The improvements Bajaj wasn’t kidding about.
Does the Pulsar N250 deliver on Bajaj’s promise of improved refinement?
30 January 2025 09:32
I don't know, man. It’s smoother than the old 220F, sure, but that’s not saying much. It is still a bit rough around the edges compared to something like the Gixxer 250, or even the Dominar 250. It's better than refinement, but not class leading.
Does the Pulsar N250 deliver on Bajaj’s promise of improved refinement?
30 January 2025 09:32
It’s refined, but I kinda miss the raw character of the old Pulsars. The new engine is almost too smooth, almost a little too devoid of that classic Pulsar charm. But at what cost is this an improvement?
