The Pulsar N250 is a big leap in engine technology for the Pulsar lineup. Bajaj says it has worked on refinement and vibration elimination, areas where Japanese manufacturers have traditionally been strong. Motorcycle enthusiasts have already started talking about whether Bajaj has been able to close the gap when it comes to engine smoothness and overall refinement. Few riders like the N250’s engine’s character, they argue, but it still lags behind Japanese bikes in the same class. But the debate frequently revolves around the trade off between performance, cost and refinement in the competitive 250cc segment.
