But is the Pulsar AS250 really an 'adventure sports' bike?
30 January 2025 08:17
To be honest, most ADV bikes never ever hit dirt. If you’re looking for a practical car that can move around the city, and also take the occasional off road trip, then the AS250 is a good choice.

In terms of power and refinement the AS250 is definitely a step up. On highways, that extra 50cc really makes a difference.

I wish the AS200 had a little more aggressive styling. The AS250 looks a bit more toned down.

The AS250 is built much better. In the end it just feels like a more premium bike.

In the city, I had more fun on the AS200. The AS250 is a bit heavy for tight traffic.

AS250's suspension is a huge improvement. Much more comfortable on long rides and rough roads.

I just wish they kept the projector headlamps from the AS200. The AS250 LED doesn’t seem as effective.

The larger AS250 fuel tank is a game changer for touring. More fuel stops like on the AS200, no more.
Will the Pulsar Adventure be better or worse regarding maintenance and long term ownership experience than normal Pulsars?

It'll be a nightmare to maintain I think. Those extra bits are only going to lead to more things to break and replace.

You're being too pessimistic. Bajaj knows their market. It will be simple enough, they say, for the average mechanic to handle.

The real issue is going to be parts availability. Finding specific ADV components down the line might be a pain if it doesn't sell well.

I bet it'll be fine. Most of it will probably be easy to service, as they will probably share the core engine and electronics with other Pulsars.

Especially if people actually take it off road, the suspension might need more attention. That’s true for any ADV bike, though.

Crash damage is what I'm more worried about. If you drop it, those plastic ADV fairings will be expensive to replace.

There could actually be a way better solution in the long run. They might not be as beefy as a standard commuter, but the beefier components might just make them better suited to Indian roads.

How Bajaj trains their service network will be the key. It shouldn't be any harder to maintain than a regular Pulsar if they do it right.
What will the Pulsar Adventure bike’s styling do to its target audience?

The styling is right on for the urban adventurer, I think. It’s rugged enough to turn heads, but not so extreme that it’ll scare off newbies.

For me, the deal breaker is the alloy wheels. You need spoked wheels for off road durability for a true ADV. It just looks like a poser bike.

You're both missing the point. This is not a hardcore off roader. This is the guy who wants to look cool commuting and hit a dirt road on weekends.

That it's not trying too hard to be a mini-ADV is actually something I like about it. A lot of people who are intimated by full size adventure bikes, might find the mix of styles appealing.
