What would you change about the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider if you could?

Make it more track-focused. It's gorgeous, but it's a bit too pretty for better performance.
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.

When you think about long term ownership, I believe the price difference is justified. The bit more presence on the road and the F250 will likely hold its value better. It's an investment in enjoyment.
Have they told you that you will be able to ride the Pulsar F250 all day?

I did a 600km day trip on my F250 and I was shocked at how comfortable it was. The seat is very well padded and the riding position is pretty relaxed. It's not a Gold Wing, but it works.

Comfortable for long rides? Maybe if you're in your 20s. After about 2 hours my back starts to ache and the seat feels like a plank. For short trips it's fine, but it's not a tourer.

It's all about expectations. It's pretty comfortable for a 250cc bike. Of course, if you're comparing it to bigger tourers it'll fall short. I believe it is a good balance for its class.

The stock setup is fine, but with a couple of mods it's great for long rides. I put a gel seat cover on and added adjustable levers so I can ride for hours without problems.

I commute 100km a day on the F250 and it's plenty comfortable for me. But everyone's body is different. You should try it out for a few hours before deciding.

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.

I do believe the comfort is overhyped. It’s not uncomfortable but after riding my friend’s Dominar 400, I realised what I was missing out on for long rides. It’s more of a sporty commuter than a tourer.
Is the Pulsar AS250 too expensive for what you get?

The AS250 is reasonably priced for the features it offers. It gives you a versatile bike that can be used in city and highway too.

It's a bit overpriced. For similar money you can get bikes that are better equipped from other brands.

If you consider Bajaj brand value and service network, pricing is fair. The value of peace of mind is worth something.

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.

Priced okay for what it is, but Bajaj could have undercut the competition and taken market share instead.
