Is the Bajaj Pulsar NS250 worth the upgrade from the NS200?

Honestly, I don't think so. The extra 50cc doesn’t justify the price bump, but the NS200 is already a capable machine. That money would be better spent on upgrades to your NS200.

That depends on your riding style. If you spend a lot of highway miles, the NS250 is a no brainer. For city commuting, the NS200 is more than enough and won’t break the bank.

I upgraded and kind of regret it. Don't get me wrong, the NS250 is great, but the difference isn't quite as dramatic as I thought it would be. Also, the NS200 has a very large aftermarket that the NS250 does not have.

Refinement alone is worth the NS250. And overall it’s smoother, less vibey at high speeds, and just feels more premium. If you can afford it, then by all means go for it.

Instead, I’d say wait for the next gen NS200. Expect Bajaj to give it a quick update with some NS250 features and you get the best of both worlds.

If you are a track day enthusiast the NS250 is definitely worth it. But it’s when you’re really pushing the bike to its limits where the extra power really shines.

Honestly, I can't tell much difference. Maybe it helps on really hot days, but in normal riding, it seems like overkill for a 160cc.

The oil cooling definitely helps. I've ridden both, and the NS160 stays noticeably cooler during long rides in traffic.

It's more of a marketing gimmick than a real advantage. Air-cooled engines in this segment work just fine.

The oil cooling gives peace of mind. You don't worry about overheating even when pushing the bike hard.

It's better in theory, but in practice, the difference is minimal. Not worth the extra cost and complexity, in my opinion.

The resale value is decent, but not as good as some Japanese bikes. Something to consider if you plan to upgrade in a few years.
