For years now the Pulsar NS200 has been a popular choice as a good balance between performance and affordability. With the NS250 now in the lineup, riders are asking themselves if it makes sense to upgrade to the bigger engine. But the NS250 promises more power and refinement, and it comes at a higher price. Some say the extra displacement doesn't make a big real world difference, while others swear by the extra mid range punch. The question also arises of whether the NS250's chassis and suspension can properly use the extra power. The cost of the incremental gains is being weighed by riders against factors like fuel efficiency, maintenance and resale value.
