      It's surprisingly bad I have to visit the service center nearly 20 times for this bike. It has a bad sensor. Bad battery. Overall bad experience. Last week the bike feel the worst day of my life when in the middle of the road the bike got off and does not start.

    • Strong city performer with a few highway compromises.

      36 weeks ago


      Arpan Halder

      I picked the Pulsar N250 for its looks and 250cc punch and it really shines in the city. The engine has strong low‑mid range, light clutch and smooth gearbox, so commuting and quick overtakes are easy. Ride quality and seating are comfortable for daily Kolkata traffic, and mileage around 35–40 kmpl feels decent for this segment. However, brakes could give better feel and the bike feels a bit nervous above 90 km/h, also a 6th gear is missed on highways.

    • The perfect bike for everyday use.

      4 years ago


      Abhishek Das

      This is a perfect street naked bike for daily city commuting and occasional highway cruising.
      Looks - great though not the best.
      Ergonomics - excellent, the tubular one piece handlebar is little bit on lower side comparison to F250, provides excellent rider's triangle. Seat is excellent for rider as well as for the pillion. Pillion seat is broad and seat compound is also neutral (not too hard not too soft).
      Engine and performance - great 250cc for the masses. Engine has great low and mid range grunt with little top end. No need of 6th gear cause the gear ratios are quite long. You can potter around town in higher gears with lower speeds. The torque curve is really well spread. Rev the motor above 3000rpm and the bike shoots like a shooting star.
      Bajaj has played really well with Pulsar 250 twins.
      Bajaj has 2 categories of motorcycles for indian market. Standard and premium.
      Bajaj has manufactured pulsar 250 for the standard market.
      That's why the price is low compared to dominar 250, ktm duke 250 etc.
      If anybody needs 6th gear, dual channel abs, wide rear tyre, fully digital console, liquid cooling system and dual channel ABS can opt for the premium category.
      It is the most value for money 250cc motorcycle from the legendary pulsar brand.

      Gosakan

      5 speed gear box is more than enough for daily commute, it has slipper clutch and more torque machine, it is not meant for sportier bike it is torquish bike, it has led headlight and many led stuffs, fresh design for a pulsar. Value for money at the price segment. Oil cooling system is the only drawback but its not too worse for the performance oil cooling is good.

    • N250; my first

      3 years ago


      Avirup

      I bought the dual-channel abs version of this bike and what stood out instantly was the exhaust note, fire-led projector headlamps, and the mids. 21.5 nm of torque is crazy at this price point. I ride this bike for everything and am quite satisfied with the overall performance of the bike. There are minor issues; it's not exactly free revving so you do get vibes at the foot pegs and handlebars. The rpm analog meter is laggy, rvm stands are dated in design compared to the dominar 250. The engine refinement is stellar for an Indian brand. I was skeptical about buying an Indian brand but I love the punch it puts in the mids which means you would vroom past those metallic enfields in no time. The seating is great as is the suspension, ideal for Indian roads. Could have given that sixth gear. Anyway, it puts a smile on my face every day that I ride it and definitely delivers that naked bike vibe.

    • Best bike in this segment

      1 year ago


      Rishi Kumar

      Pulsar N 250 is a superb bike with a powerful engine and smooth handling. Seating comfort, but makes it up with easy and cheap servicing. Mileage is decent in the range of 35-40 kmpl, which is good for a 250 engine and daily usage. Plus features like turn-by-turn navigation, dual-channel ABS, traction control, and USD forks make it a good deal at this price point. Buying experience was ok ok but it's something I can live with. Overall, a solid pick and with a good mix of performance and practicality. It's not a bike that competes with powerful 250s like Duke, but it's better than those 160s, which come in this price range.

    • Disappointed with the Performance and Refinement of this 250cc Bike

      39 weeks ago


      Hemant Jaiswal

      I’ve been quite disappointed with my experience on this 250cc bike. The engine exhibits unusual behavior — particularly at low or moderate speeds. When holding the clutch, the RPMs increase abruptly without any corresponding rise in speed. This not only feels unsettling but also raises concerns about the bike’s long-term reliability.
      The lack of smooth power delivery makes it difficult to handle in heavy traffic, where precise throttle and clutch control are essential. Such excessive and unpredictable revving could lead to premature wear and tear on engine components.
      Given the price and the segment, I expected a much more refined and responsive engine. Unfortunately, the performance falls short of expectations.
      Key Issues Observed:
      • Sudden RPM surge when clutch is engaged
      • Poorly tuned low-end and inconsistent power delivery
      • Concerns about engine durability and refinement
      Overall, I would strongly recommend potential buyers to take an extended test ride before making a decision. In my opinion, there are other 250cc options available that offer smoother performance and better refinement.

      Given the price and the segment, I expected a much more refined and responsive engine. Unfortunately, the performance falls short of expectations.
      Key Issues Observed:
      • Sudden RPM surge when clutch is engaged
      • Poorly tuned low-end and inconsistent power delivery
      • Concerns about engine durability and refinement
      Overall, I would strongly recommend potential buyers to take an extended test ride before making a decision. In my opinion, there are other 250cc options available that offer smoother performance and better refinement.

      It's surprisingly bad I have to visit the service center nearly 20 times for this bike. It has a bad sensor. Bad battery. Overall bad experience. Last week the bike feel the worst day of my life when in the middle of the road the bike got off and does not start.

    • Strong city performer with a few highway compromises.

      36 weeks ago


      Arpan Halder

      I picked the Pulsar N250 for its looks and 250cc punch and it really shines in the city. The engine has strong low‑mid range, light clutch and smooth gearbox, so commuting and quick overtakes are easy. Ride quality and seating are comfortable for daily Kolkata traffic, and mileage around 35–40 kmpl feels decent for this segment. However, brakes could give better feel and the bike feels a bit nervous above 90 km/h, also a 6th gear is missed on highways.

    • The perfect bike for everyday use.

      Abhishek Das

      This is a perfect street naked bike for daily city commuting and occasional highway cruising.
      Looks - great though not the best.
      Ergonomics - excellent, the tubular one piece handlebar is little bit on lower side comparison to F250, provides excellent rider's triangle. Seat is excellent for rider as well as for the pillion. Pillion seat is broad and seat compound is also neutral (not too hard not too soft).
      Engine and performance - great 250cc for the masses. Engine has great low and mid range grunt with little top end. No need of 6th gear cause the gear ratios are quite long. You can potter around town in higher gears with lower speeds. The torque curve is really well spread. Rev the motor above 3000rpm and the bike shoots like a shooting star.
      Bajaj has played really well with Pulsar 250 twins.
      Bajaj has 2 categories of motorcycles for indian market. Standard and premium.
      Bajaj has manufactured pulsar 250 for the standard market.
      That's why the price is low compared to dominar 250, ktm duke 250 etc.
      If anybody needs 6th gear, dual channel abs, wide rear tyre, fully digital console, liquid cooling system and dual channel ABS can opt for the premium category.
      It is the most value for money 250cc motorcycle from the legendary pulsar brand.

      5 speed gear box is more than enough for daily commute, it has slipper clutch and more torque machine, it is not meant for sportier bike it is torquish bike, it has led headlight and many led stuffs, fresh design for a pulsar. Value for money at the price segment. Oil cooling system is the only drawback but its not too worse for the performance oil cooling is good.

    • N250; my first

      3 years ago


      Avirup

      I bought the dual-channel abs version of this bike and what stood out instantly was the exhaust note, fire-led projector headlamps, and the mids. 21.5 nm of torque is crazy at this price point. I ride this bike for everything and am quite satisfied with the overall performance of the bike. There are minor issues; it's not exactly free revving so you do get vibes at the foot pegs and handlebars. The rpm analog meter is laggy, rvm stands are dated in design compared to the dominar 250. The engine refinement is stellar for an Indian brand. I was skeptical about buying an Indian brand but I love the punch it puts in the mids which means you would vroom past those metallic enfields in no time. The seating is great as is the suspension, ideal for Indian roads. Could have given that sixth gear. Anyway, it puts a smile on my face every day that I ride it and definitely delivers that naked bike vibe.

      Pulsar N 250 is a superb bike with a powerful engine and smooth handling. Seating comfort, but makes it up with easy and cheap servicing. Mileage is decent in the range of 35-40 kmpl, which is good for a 250 engine and daily usage. Plus features like turn-by-turn navigation, dual-channel ABS, traction control, and USD forks make it a good deal at this price point. Buying experience was ok ok but it's something I can live with. Overall, a solid pick and with a good mix of performance and practicality. It's not a bike that competes with powerful 250s like Duke, but it's better than those 160s, which come in this price range.

    • Disappointed with the Performance and Refinement of this 250cc Bike

      39 weeks ago


      Hemant Jaiswal

      I’ve been quite disappointed with my experience on this 250cc bike. The engine exhibits unusual behavior — particularly at low or moderate speeds. When holding the clutch, the RPMs increase abruptly without any corresponding rise in speed. This not only feels unsettling but also raises concerns about the bike’s long-term reliability.
      The lack of smooth power delivery makes it difficult to handle in heavy traffic, where precise throttle and clutch control are essential. Such excessive and unpredictable revving could lead to premature wear and tear on engine components.

    • Disappointed with the Performance and Refinement of this 250cc Bike

      39 weeks ago


      Hemant Jaiswal

      I’ve been quite disappointed with my experience on this 250cc bike. The engine exhibits unusual behavior — particularly at low or moderate speeds. When holding the clutch, the RPMs increase abruptly without any corresponding rise in speed. This not only feels unsettling but also raises concerns about the bike’s long-term reliability.
      The lack of smooth power delivery makes it difficult to handle in heavy traffic, where precise throttle and clutch control are essential. Such excessive and unpredictable revving could lead to premature wear and tear on engine components.
      Given the price and the segment, I expected a much more refined and responsive engine. Unfortunately, the performance falls short of expectations.
      Key Issues Observed:
      • Sudden RPM surge when clutch is engaged
      • Poorly tuned low-end and inconsistent power delivery
      • Concerns about engine durability and refinement
      Overall, I would strongly recommend potential buyers to take an extended test ride before making a decision. In my opinion, there are other 250cc options available that offer smoother performance and better refinement.
