If the Apollo Gumpert had better marketing, could it have saved the company?

They wouldn't have been saved by marketing alone. However, to compete with established brands, they required a wider range of products and a better dealer network.

The Apollo was too niche. There is only a limited market for track focused supercars at that price point even with great marketing.

They should have gone harder with the 'ugly but fast' angle. It's unique, so embrace just that and make it a selling point.

Maybe better marketing would have drawn more investors, who could have given them enough runway to develop more models and stay alive.

Most buyers found the car too extreme. To bring in steady revenue, they needed a more accessible model.
How does F250 build quality and fit and finish stack up against premium 250cc offering?

The F250's build quality has been really impressive. The paint's deep, the panel gaps are tight and nothing rattles after 10,000 km. For the price, it feels much more premium.

It’s good for a Bajaj but not quite up to Japanese standards. Some of the welds aren't real clean and the switchgear has a plasticky feel to it. So far, it has held up well.

People are too harsh on Indian bikes, I think. No matter the brand, the F250's quality is easy to match with bikes that cost 50% more. It’s not perfect, but the value for money is incredible.

I was worried on the build quality coming from a KTM, but I've been pleasantly surprised. I feel as if it is a solid and well put together. My only weak point I've found is the mirrors, they vibrate a lot at high speeds.

It's a mixed bag. Some parts feel premium, others feel cheap. At the price, the overall package is good, though there's definitely room for improvement in the foot pegs and side stand.

I have had some paint chip easily and a few electrical gremlins. It’s nothing major, but I do wonder about long term durability vs. more established brands.

For the price, it's fantastic. Is the Yamaha a little bit better with fit and finish, well, you’re paying a lot more for that marginal improvement. The F250 strikes a great balance.

I believe Bajaj have really upped their game with the F250. Compared to previous Pulsars, it feels much more premium. But it’s still not quite as refined as a CBR250R overall.

After 15,000 km everything is still tight and looks great. It’s impressive for a bike in this price range, but the quality seems to hold up well over time.
So is the Pulsar F250 really worth paying a premium over the N250 for, or are you simply paying for looks?

As a rider of both, I can tell you that the F250 is worth it. On long rides, the fairing does make a difference, and it just feels more substantial. Plus, it turns more heads!

I actually wish I had not saved the money and gone for the N250. Wind protection difference is minimal, and performance is identical. You're basically paying for looks.

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.

Don't underestimate the psychological factor. If you feel good every time you walk up to your bike because the F250's looks are that good, that's worth something. And motorcycling is an emotional experience.

For touring potential, I went with the F250. The taller windscreen and a bit of luggage turns it into a great little tourer. The N250 doesn't offer that versatility.

And let's be real, most people buy the F250 because of the looks. And that’s okay! If you can afford it, and you love the sportier style, go for it. You won't be getting a wildly different riding experience, though.
