Is the 2 channel ABS on the Pulsar N250 overkill for a 250cc bike?
30 January 2025 09:34
I am a mechanic and I like the 2 channel system. Compared to a single channel setup, it’s easier to diagnose, and maintain. Also, it is more effective at preventing wheel lock ups.
Does the extra weight of the N250 make it less agile than the NS200?

In tight traffic, yeah, you can definitely feel the extra weight. While not as flickable as the NS200, it’s still manageable.

I have ridden both and actually the difference is not that much. The extra kilos are made up for by the N250's better weight distribution.

In fact, the extra weight actually aids in high speed stability. While it might not be as nimble in the city, it feels way more confidence inspiring on highways.

Being a shorter rider, the N250 is a little more difficult to handle in parking lots. The NS200 was less difficult to handle at low speeds.

There is weight difference there, but the extra torque from the 250cc engine makes up for it. It just feels more planted, more mature than the NS200.

I feel that is a fair trade off. You get a bit of comfort, a bit of touring ability, but you lose a little bit of agility. Overall it's a more well rounded package.

I was worried about the weight coming from the NS200 but after a few rides you get used to it. The N250 doesn’t feel cumbersome, but it does feel more substantial.
Can the Pulsar N250 be modified and customized well?

I’ve had my N250 for a few months now, and I gotta say I love this thing as a canvas for mods. It is really picking up in the aftermarket scene. I've already swapped out the exhaust and have added a few cosmetic things. Mods come easy to it without losing its core character.

The mod options are a little disappointing, to be honest. Perhaps because it's still a relatively new bike, but I'm not seeing the same aftermarket support that older Pulsars were enjoying. As a result, it feels like we're limited in what we can do, particularly performance wise.

As a person who has done extensive mods on past Pulsars, I’m a bit split on the N250. The lights and body panels are easy to upgrade. Performance mods are trickier, however, because of the new engine design. It’s a learning curve for sure.

People keep forgetting that the N250 is a pretty solid sled out of the box. It's pretty well-equipped stock. Of course you can add some bling, but from a performance perspective, you’re not going to see huge gains unless you spend a lot.

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.
Is the Pulsar N250 a good touring motorcycle?
30 January 2025 09:32
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.
Is the Pulsar N250 a good touring motorcycle?
30 January 2025 09:32
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.
Is the Pulsar N250 a good touring motorcycle?
30 January 2025 09:32
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.
Is the Pulsar N250 a good touring motorcycle?

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.
