Is the Bajaj Pulsar RS250 worth the hype?
31 January 2025 11:02
I’ve had the RS250 for about 6 months now and it has been a little bit of a let down. It looks cool, but the performance doesn’t quite live up to the aggressive styling. However, for a 250cc bike, I expected more oomph. It is also too committed for a riding position that will suit daily commutes. I am already thinking of switching to something more practical.
What is long ride experience like on the Pulsar RS250?
31 January 2025 11:02
I think the RS250 actually handles long rides well enough for most people to give it credit for. It is definitely sportier than the average tourer, and that only encourages it. At cruising speeds the engine is smooth and the handling levels confidence on twisty roads. A great weekend getaway bike with a tank bag for essentials. It isn’t going to feel like a Gold Wing, but I wouldn’t call it too uncomfortable.
Is the Bajaj Pulsar RS400 really the hype?
31 January 2025 10:39
I am a Pulsar fan and RS400 is one of my favorites. I think Bajaj has always given great value, and I believe they have learnt a lot from their tie up with KTM. If they can bring some of that knowledge to the RS400 it would be an awesome bike at a killer price.
What will Bajaj Pulsar RS400 do to the Indian sportbike market?
31 January 2025 10:34
In fact it might hurt the market in the long run. In fact, if Bajaj undercuts everyone on price, then other manufacturers will be compelled to cut corners in order to compete, thus creating a race to the bottom in terms of quality.
Will the cannibalization of the Bajaj Dominar 400 sales happen by Bajaj Pulsar RS400?
31 January 2025 10:34
That’s what I’m more worried about, because I think this will adversely impact Bajaj’s relationship with KTM. Thus, the RC 390 could end up competing against the RS400. I think that’ll be interesting, to see how they deal with that potential conflict.
Is the Bajaj Pulsar RS400 worth the hype?
31 January 2025 10:34
I think people are overhyping it, they want to lay the baby with the bathwater. It's a nice bike, sure, but I have my doubts that it will be the revolutionary machine people are expecting. As a relative newcomer to the big bike game, Bajaj have no doubt got some teething issues.
Does the Pulsar RS125 suit for longer rides and touring as it is comfortable to ride?
31 January 2025 10:18
I’ve toured on mine and it was fine. But the fact is that I really don’t have another bike to ride so while it’s not ideal, if it’s your only bike, yes you can make it work for longer rides with a little bit of planning.
How fuel efficient is the Pulsar RS125 in real world riding?
31 January 2025 10:18
My experience is that the RS125 is as close as you get to the claimed efficiency if you ride sensibly. In mixed city and highway riding I always get around 55-60 km/l.
Is the Pulsar RS125 a Real 'Race Sport' bike or just marketing hype?
31 January 2025 10:18
Truly Race Sport, is not what this bike is. It’s not a bad thing having to prioritize the most important bands for next week. Newer riders get a taste of sport bike aesthetics and handling without being too extreme.
How does the Pulsar RS125 stand up to international 125cc sport bikes?
31 January 2025 10:18
We're not going to lie, most of the 125cc riders are not pushing these bikes to the maximum anyway. Even if it’s not quite at the level of the top international brands, the RS125 is more than capable enough for its intended use.
IS THE PULSAR RS125 a genuine race Sport bike or words that have been deemed well spoken by marketing guys?
31 January 2025 10:11
More marketing than actual race performance for sure. In effect, the RS125 is just a commuter bike with sporty looks. It has no way of hanging with real race oriented 125s on a track.
I disagree; it is a fine entry level sport bike. It has legit sporty handling with the full fairing and clipons. It's not a track weapon by any means, but it can help teach new riders good cornering skills.

The fun of having a bike like this is half modding it. Of course, the gains from these tweaks won’t be massive, but customizing your bike and getting familiar with bike mechanics along the way is gratifying.
Is the new digital console on the 2025 RS200 a step forward or just keeping up?
10 January 2025 08:08
It's cool with the Bluetooth features, but how many people will actually use them regularly? Perhaps it’s more of a gimmick than a real useful feature.
Will the 2025 RS200 updates be enough to be able to compete with newer rivals such as the Yamaha R15 V4?
10 January 2025 08:08
But for many buyers Bajaj brand loyalty and service network will continue to make the RS200 an attractive proposition, even if the numbers don't add up on paper.
Is the 2025 Bajaj Pulsar RS200 just a sticker job?
10 January 2025 08:08
I don't think it's quite fair to call it just a sticker job. The actual upgrades are the new digital console and LED taillights, even if they’re not groundbreaking. Really it's more of a refresh than a complete overhaul.
Will 2025 RS200 buyers like the new taillight design, or will it be a miss?
10 January 2025 08:08
The new taillight is one that you might expect to see on a much cheaper bike. This was really a miss by Bajaj. The old design was unique and also recognizable.
Is the absence of USD forks in the 2025 RS200 less competitive in its segment?
10 January 2025 08:08
It's not a dealbreaker, I don't think. The RS200 has always been a good performance for a good price. The cost would go up by adding USD forks.
