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.
Is the Pulsar 250F’s braking enough for the bike?
29 January 2025 12:21
It’s a good match for the bike performance. Remember, however, more powerful brakes are dangerous for inexperienced riders.
So how does the Pulsar 250F fare in the real world riding as compared to its naked sibling, the N250?
29 January 2025 12:21
I'd be honest, I can barely tell the difference when riding. It’s mostly down to looks – go faired if you want the sportier vibe.
Is the new oil cooled engine in the Pulsar 250F as good as the hype?
29 January 2025 12:21
It’s a good balance between performance and efficiency. Not the fastest, but fast enough for most riders.
Does the Pulsar 250F justify the premium over the 220F?
29 January 2025 12:21
It depends on your priorities. Go 250F if you want the latest tech and don’t mind paying extra. Still, if you’re on a budget, the 220F is still a solid choice.
What’s your most memorable road trip experience on the Pulsar 220F?
29 January 2025 10:13
Trying Sach Pass on my 220F was my craziest trip. However, it’s not really built for such terrain, but with some skillful riding we managed. It was worth the struggle to get the views!
What features would you want if Bajaj made a 400cc version of the Pulsar 220F?
29 January 2025 10:13
Be something simple and reliable as the 220F, but with modern touches. Maybe add traction control, LED lights all around and even a single cylinder 400cc engine. Just solid performance, don’t need fancy electronics.
What’s your craziest Pulsar 220F saved the day story?
29 January 2025 10:13
I once used my 220F to escape a flash flood. But my future was still on the water, and the bike’s ground clearance and its reliable engine brought it through without incident, while other vehicles were stranded.
