Is the Pulsar N250 a good touring motorcycle?

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.

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?
Does the Pulsar N250 deliver on Bajaj’s promise of improved refinement?
30 January 2025 09:32
I think folks are missing the long term. For the first 5000 km, my N250 was super smooth, but now I’m starting to pick up more vibrations. But this refinement is still out on jury about how well it holds up over time.
Does the Pulsar N250 deliver on Bajaj’s promise of improved refinement?
30 January 2025 09:32
I was skeptical coming from Japanese bikes. I have to give credit to them, though. It’s not Honda level smooth, but it’s a hell of a lot better than I thought it would be. But the gearbox, in particular, is a joy to use.
Does the Pulsar N250 deliver on Bajaj’s promise of improved refinement?
30 January 2025 09:32
It is definitely refined, but not in a consistent way across the rev range. It has a buttery smooth mid range, but get it near redline, and that classic Pulsar buzziness returns. They just seemed to have concentrated on the engine itself, which is where most people use it.
Does the Pulsar N250 deliver on Bajaj’s promise of improved refinement?

Face it, "refinement" is as subjective as it gets. The N250 will feel super smooth for some. For others, it will be too rough still. It’s really subjective, depending on what you’re comparing it to and what your expectations are. For the price point, I've refined it enough in my book.
Is the Bajaj Pulsar N250 really all it’s hyped up to be?
30 January 2025 09:32
I honestly believe the hype is deserved. That's a proper evolution of the Pulsar line. It's noticeably better refined than older Pulsars and that new engine is butter smooth. And the styling is top notch, it looks mean without going overboard.

30 January 2025 09:32
Eh, I'm not completely sold. It's an improvement, but how much better is it than the NS200? For marginal performance gains, the price difference doesn’t seem worth it. I was expecting more oomph from a 250cc Pulsar.

If you've used the old 220F and the new N250, I can tell you that it's an upgrade. It feels more planted on the highway and is miles better in build quality. I sometimes miss the raw character of the 220F.

I think people are forgetting about the comfort factor. Ergonomically the N250 is spot on for daily commuting and weekend rides. It's not a track weapon, and it’s not trying to be. It's pretty damn good for what it is.
