Discussions and Questions Bajaj Pulsar - Page 8
Are other bikes of the class F250's engines heat management with exceptions.
30 January 2025 09:06
The heat management is great, but I would have loved it if Bajaj went for complete liquid cooling. It would have cost more, but it would have also improved performance and long term reliability.
Does the F250's headlight suffice for night riding on dark country roads?
30 January 2025 09:06
In fact, I actually like it better than some more expensive bikes I have ridden. It has a nice, defined cutoff that doesn’t blind oncoming traffic. It could be brighter, but it’s more than adequate.
Is the Pulsar F250 too aggressive for daily commuting?
30 January 2025 09:06
That said, it’s definitely more aggressive than an upright naked bike, but that’s part of the appeal. For 30 40 minute rides I fine with it but for anything longer I start to feel it in my lower back. Not really ideal if you have a really long commute.
Does the F250 2 channel ABS make a difference over single channel systems?
30 January 2025 09:06
The dual channel system is definitely more confidence inspiring. I don’t have to worry about locking up either wheel, so I can brake harder. On long rides fatigue may affect your braking finesse and it’s particularly nice.
So is the Pulsar F250 really worth paying a premium over the N250 for, or are you simply paying for looks?
30 January 2025 08:19
It depends on your priorities. The F250's fairing makes highway riding less tiring if that's what you do. If you commute in the city, the N250 is probably the smart choice. Consider how you’ll be using the bike the most.
Does the Pulsar F250's fairing really do anything to help protect from wind?
30 January 2025 08:19
I honestly think it's more for looks than function. I've ridden the F250 and N250 and the difference in wind protection is minimal at best. If that’s your only concern, save your money and go for the N250.
Have they told you that you will be able to ride the Pulsar F250 all day?
30 January 2025 08:19
After all, there isn’t a stock bike that’s perfect for everyone. A good start would be the F250. With a little personalization (handle bar risers, different seat, etc.) it can be made quite comfortable for long hauls.
Is Bajaj finally getting their quality control act together with the Pulsar F250?
30 January 2025 08:19
It’s better quality, but it’s not up to the level of the Japanese bikes. Having said that, I think the F250 represents good value for the price point. So just be prepared to baby it a little more than you would a Honda or Yamaha.
Is the Pulsar F250, in fact, the spiritual successor to the legendary Pulsar 220F?
30 January 2025 08:19
I believe we are looking at this in the wrong way. The F250 is not a carbon copy of the 220F. It's an evolution. A better tech, smoother engine, and still great for touring. They’re not trying to be the same, they’re carrying the torch forward.
Is the Pulsar AS250 too expensive for what you get?
30 January 2025 08:17
I believe one gets what one pays for with a 250cc single and I believe it's overpriced. It should've been at least 10k cheaper to be competitive.
Does the Pulsar AS250 live up to the Pulsar legacy?
30 January 2025 08:17
Definitely, the AS250 lives up to the Pulsar name. This has that perfect balance of performance and practicality that Pulsars are known for.
What is the Pulsar AS250 like for long distance touring?
30 January 2025 08:17
For touring it‘s decent, but the seat gets unpleasant after about 300km. If you plan on serious touring, you'll need to invest in a better seat.
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.
What makes the Pulsar AS250 different from the previous AS200?
30 January 2025 08:17
In terms of power and refinement the AS250 is definitely a step up. On highways, that extra 50cc really makes a difference.
Will the Pulsar Adventure be better or worse regarding maintenance and long term ownership experience than normal Pulsars?
30 January 2025 08:13
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.
What will the Pulsar Adventure bike’s styling do to its target audience?
30 January 2025 08:13
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.
Can the Pulsar Adventure do the same for the Indian market?
30 January 2025 08:13
I feel there is definitely a market for this. There are lots of people who want something more exciting than a basic commuter, but they’re intimidated by bigger ADVs.
How does the Pulsar Adventure stack up against regular 125cc bikes?
30 January 2025 08:13
The real test will be fuel efficiency. It’s a lot of things, and if it can match regular 125cc bikes on that front, a lot of people will overlook any performance deficits.
The Bajaj Pulsar Adventure bike will be a game changer among Indian 125cc bikes.
30 January 2025 08:13
I'm actually excited about this. For those who want a bike that can navigate pothole riddled city roads and the occasional gravel path but without the intimidation factor of a full size ADV, it could be perfect.
Is the Pulsar 250F a good choice for long distance touring versus dedicated tourers?
29 January 2025 12:21
A real drawback is the lack of luggage options. Bungee cords and backpacks are something you have to get creative with.
