    I am using this bike for the last one month. It's the very smooth and the fastest bike.I got mileage around 37-40km per ltr. Also good bike for both highway and city riders.And also a good bike for a long ride. The top speed of this bike is around 150kmph -163 kmph. The sound is also very good smooth sound. It has good features and cheapest bike comparing others.

  • Fantastic beast

    2 years ago


    Karthik

    I own this bike from January. This bike looks great than in pictures. Things i considered while selecting this bike are
    1.New design attractive look
    2.Assist& slipper clutch
    3.Longest seat in 250cc segment
    And the features like real time mileage indicator, average fuel efficiency will help to get max efficiency.
    Exhaust is bossy and louder which gives a great feeling. Nice riding posture so that you can easily manage to take reverse too.
    Engine is so powerful that the bike starts to run when you leave the clutch. 5 speed gearbox has long range of speeds and you don't need to change the gears again and again.
    Only thing i felt bad was its seat. It is a bit harder for long rides that you may need to have an extra cushion work. Overall i'm happy with the bike i chose

  • Best bike for beginners

    Arjun P

    1. Buying experience was very good. Thumbs up.
    2. Riding exp is very good. If mirror vibs are there, just remove the mirror completely and wipe the inside and re-install to snug, not over-tight. It has been solved for me and will solve for everyone.
    3. Looks are subjective but I love the looks and performance is on the next level.
    4. Till now I have my first service is done, which is ok ok not bad.
    5. Pros: good performance, attracts people, refined engine, bassy exhaust
    Cons: some vibs which will b solved if you remove and re-install the part(any parts), fit n finish is not up to expectations.

    Srinivas Bn

    Got my red, pulsar 250f, after the test ride and 2 days of waiting period from kiviraj motors, hesargatta road, bengaluru. Buy experience at the showroom was average, more like government workers type behavior, besides this on positive side riding experience with this bike is very good, the engine has good pickup and very comfortable to drive. Looks are very good, definitely, it's a head-turner on road,. I was owning pulsar 180 before and exchanged it with this. Clearly, i can make out the engine difference and refinement.

  • First delivery in karnataka

    2 years ago


    Sriram Kasbe

    I pre-booked the pulsar 250 a week after it launched in November and was told to expect delivery by December and was quite happy with dates , took first delivery in karnataka state on 16 dec 2021 and chose the red color than the grey as it was too bland, 24 hours and 87kms later i still get an economy of more than 40, using it for mainly city commutes, will use it for long soon , but the way power delivery is designed it feels like 220 and ns200 had a kid who is much refined vibe free and so peppy that it opens a new feeling everytime you cross 5k rpm mark . Definitely better than ns200 or 220f in terms of performance although looks are a bit subjective i did not personally like it , but as millennial say , looks don't matter.
    Definitely a proper all rounder motorbike with enough to get you all over India and still be light on your pocket.

    Akshay Gambhir

    The buying experience was good, but it took 24 days due to mismanagement by mg bajaj erragadda, the engine is very refined, I exchanged my pulsar 150 and I can clearly make out the difference, so far I have driven 1000+ kms and I am getting 39 kmpl, as others highlighted initially mirrors were vibrating at the speed of 50-60, but post the first service it has been stopped, so far great experience.

  • Budget-friendly beast

    2 years ago


    Parth Rilkar

    I haven't purchased this product yet but I'll tell you everything that I learned in the span of 30-60 minutes of riding it. So let's start with handling you may feel a little weight on the handlebars if you came from lighter motorcycles also you may get surprised to see how well balanced you can ride at slow speed or you'll love to ride it on the highway to get ever stable experience at high speed or on triple digits. Secondly, the push, the power, and the torque are there from the start that you might just go out of control but I would suggest do not do that cause it's risky. I was surprised to see the smoothest engine paired with a light clutch and smooth, effortless gearbox. Once you rode it you can't unseen the affection bike throws at you, making you go wild with her but I didn't ride it on the highway I rode it in city traffic so overall handling and performance are so damn practical. Also, I will always prefer faired motorcycle over a naked one cause it gives extra stability at higher speed and also may help you get fewer windblasts by having a windshield. Talking about appearance and looks this one is my favorite cause when I rode it in the city the ones who asked me which brand or which bike is this looks familiar or they got a huge smile when I told them that it was from bajaj pulsar, the twins as low as 1 lac 40k. Also, the engine sound attracts everyone on the radar they have to turn their head to make sure they heard her right. And yes the seat comfort is well paired with mid suspension as you won't feel little potholes cause this machine glides through all of that I only felt the speed breaker other than that the riding experience was quite effortless. Like just spin the throttle a bit and you'll get enough power to filter through traffic as well as fuel efficiency around 40-45kmpl after the 1st service as mentioned by my friend who owned it since April. Believe me, once you test rides it you'll immediately fall in love with her as she comes within your budget and provides you great fuel efficiency with enough power to maneuver here and there. I doubt you'll feel the need for 6th gear cause I didn't feel that urge to go on 6th but trust me you can say that it's a budget-friendly beast!!! also if dual channel abs were there then experience or dependency could have been better but you can go for alternatives like dominar 250 or rs 200 they come with liquid cooling & dual channel abs but are not so budget-friendly as f250. I rode her in between the hottest time of the day 12 pm to 1 pm and I didn't feel the engine is getting overheated. There wasn't this problem as such but if you are someone who doesn't care or love your bike and only sees her as a machine to go from one place to another then she'll get the issue due to your riding style. I would say ride her with care and love she'll give you what you expected as well as unexpected.

    Tips for other riders

    I would say go for MRF zappers or if you don't care about mileage then you can use 140 section rear tyre which will be helpful in cornering. Also, the bike is superb at handling the department you'll love it. Thank you!

    Right from the start the product is superb in terms of looks and styling. Looks very powerful and feels light. The city and highway rides are a joy to begin with and it makes you always look for the opportunities to drive it.
    I am very happy with this new purchase and power surely makes you fall in love with it.

  • Pulsar F250 11 months ownership review

    21 weeks ago


    Prem

    Buying experience - I had to buy a 2 lakh motorcycle after selling (due to back pain issues) my Bullet Electra Twinspark 2014 in December 2022. Apart from F250/N250, I considered motorcycles like the Hornet 2.0, FZ25 & R15S, Xpulse 200T 4v and Apache 200 as options. Didn't consider RS200, NS200 or 220 since they're dated. Test rode all options in Jan 2023 and immediately realized that no other bike in the segment is providing such a plush ride with decent handling. It also fulfilled most of my other requirements as well. Without much delay took a dual channel unit home in Feb 2023 for around 1.75L on-road Thane.
    Riding experience - After riding a long-stroke RE engine for years, it took me some time to get used to an over-square engine and also to F250's long turning radius. But once you get used to this, this bike becomes fun to ride.
    Looks - Subjective. I wanted some sort of fairing but not too wide like the RS200.
    Performance - Power and torque are sufficient for cities and highways. The bike is stable at triple-digit speeds. There are vibes post 100kmph but we rarely get to cruise above 100 on Indian roads. But the vibes are manageable during occasional top-speed runs. Fuel efficiency is very good for a 250cc motorcycles. You can get 33-38 kmpl in the city depending upon road and traffic conditions. On highways, this gives above 40 if you cruise between 70 and 90kmph. Efficiency starts to drop after 90kmph. For instance, if you cruise at 100kmph constantly you'll get around 37-38kmpl. LED projectors are decent too.
    Servicing and maintenance - My running is not too high, I have got 2 free services done. 1st free service with an oil change cost me around 800 and 2nd service with an oil top-up costs 400. Bajaj's 20W-50 oil by the Gulf is not the best for highways. Gets black at 2000 km. I recommend Motul, Idemitsu or Shell. Overall maintenance of any bike depends upon the rider's riding style.
    Pros -
    1. Good power and torque delivery, good suspension.
    2. Awesome brake bite and feedback from both the brakes in dual channel ABS unit.
    3. Aerodynamic fairing.
    4. Good headlight throw.
    5. A good semi-digital meter console that provides adequate information.
    6. A combination of a comfortable riding posture, great fuel efficiency and 14-litre tank capacity gives a riding range of more than 500kms on a single tank easily which makes it an efficient tourer.
    7. Spare parts availability is decent.
    Cons -
    1. RVM on the fairing panel vibrates even at slower speeds and lower RPMs (I've installed NS200 RVM on the handlebar).
    2. Plastic panels are a lot better than before but still need improvement. Stickering peels off too easily.
    2. Being a good tourer, it must have had a display for maps and navigation.
    3. Bajaj service centre people aren't good everywhere. I had to change my service centre since the one associated with my dealer didn't even listen to my issues/feedback properly.
    4. Noticeable vibes under the rider's seat after 7k rpm. But doesn't stop the motorcycle from pulling further as such.
    Can't recollect any other cons.

    Use better oils than OEM on any vehicle if highway use is more. Be gentle on potholes as being rash can harm the suspension, chassis and your back.

I doubt you'll feel the need for 6th gear cause I didn't feel that urge to go on 6th but trust me you can say that it's a budget-friendly beast!!! also if dual channel abs were there then experience or dependency could have been better but you can go for alternatives like dominar 250 or rs 200 they come with liquid cooling & dual channel abs but are not so budget-friendly as f250. I rode her in between the hottest time of the day 12 pm to 1 pm and I didn't feel the engine is getting overheated. There wasn't this problem as such but if you are someone who doesn't care or love your bike and only sees her as a machine to go from one place to another then she'll get the issue due to your riding style. I would say ride her with care and love she'll give you what you expected as well as unexpected.

    I would say go for MRF zappers or if you don't care about mileage then you can use 140 section rear tyre which will be helpful in cornering. Also, the bike is superb at handling the department you'll love it. Thank you!

    Right from the start the product is superb in terms of looks and styling. Looks very powerful and feels light. The city and highway rides are a joy to begin with and it makes you always look for the opportunities to drive it.
    I am very happy with this new purchase and power surely makes you fall in love with it.

  • Pulsar F250 11 months ownership review

    21 weeks ago


    Prem

    Buying experience - I had to buy a 2 lakh motorcycle after selling (due to back pain issues) my Bullet Electra Twinspark 2014 in December 2022. Apart from F250/N250, I considered motorcycles like the Hornet 2.0, FZ25 & R15S, Xpulse 200T 4v and Apache 200 as options. Didn't consider RS200, NS200 or 220 since they're dated. Test rode all options in Jan 2023 and immediately realized that no other bike in the segment is providing such a plush ride with decent handling. It also fulfilled most of my other requirements as well. Without much delay took a dual channel unit home in Feb 2023 for around 1.75L on-road Thane.
    Riding experience - After riding a long-stroke RE engine for years, it took me some time to get used to an over-square engine and also to F250's long turning radius. But once you get used to this, this bike becomes fun to ride.
    Looks - Subjective. I wanted some sort of fairing but not too wide like the RS200.
    Performance - Power and torque are sufficient for cities and highways. The bike is stable at triple-digit speeds. There are vibes post 100kmph but we rarely get to cruise above 100 on Indian roads. But the vibes are manageable during occasional top-speed runs. Fuel efficiency is very good for a 250cc motorcycles. You can get 33-38 kmpl in the city depending upon road and traffic conditions. On highways, this gives above 40 if you cruise between 70 and 90kmph. Efficiency starts to drop after 90kmph. For instance, if you cruise at 100kmph constantly you'll get around 37-38kmpl. LED projectors are decent too.
    Servicing and maintenance - My running is not too high, I have got 2 free services done. 1st free service with an oil change cost me around 800 and 2nd service with an oil top-up costs 400. Bajaj's 20W-50 oil by the Gulf is not the best for highways. Gets black at 2000 km. I recommend Motul, Idemitsu or Shell. Overall maintenance of any bike depends upon the rider's riding style.
    Pros -
    1. Good power and torque delivery, good suspension.
    2. Awesome brake bite and feedback from both the brakes in dual channel ABS unit.
    3. Aerodynamic fairing.
    4. Good headlight throw.
    5. A good semi-digital meter console that provides adequate information.
    6. A combination of a comfortable riding posture, great fuel efficiency and 14-litre tank capacity gives a riding range of more than 500kms on a single tank easily which makes it an efficient tourer.
    7. Spare parts availability is decent.
    Cons -
    1. RVM on the fairing panel vibrates even at slower speeds and lower RPMs (I've installed NS200 RVM on the handlebar).
    2. Plastic panels are a lot better than before but still need improvement. Stickering peels off too easily.
    2. Being a good tourer, it must have had a display for maps and navigation.
    3. Bajaj service centre people aren't good everywhere. I had to change my service centre since the one associated with my dealer didn't even listen to my issues/feedback properly.
    4. Noticeable vibes under the rider's seat after 7k rpm. But doesn't stop the motorcycle from pulling further as such.
    Can't recollect any other cons.

    I am using this bike for the last one month. It's the very smooth and the fastest bike.I got mileage around 37-40km per ltr. Also good bike for both highway and city riders.And also a good bike for a long ride. The top speed of this bike is around 150kmph -163 kmph. The sound is also very good smooth sound. It has good features and cheapest bike comparing others.

  • Fantastic beast

    2 years ago


    Karthik

    I own this bike from January. This bike looks great than in pictures. Things i considered while selecting this bike are
    1.New design attractive look
    2.Assist& slipper clutch
    3.Longest seat in 250cc segment
    And the features like real time mileage indicator, average fuel efficiency will help to get max efficiency.
    Exhaust is bossy and louder which gives a great feeling. Nice riding posture so that you can easily manage to take reverse too.
    Engine is so powerful that the bike starts to run when you leave the clutch. 5 speed gearbox has long range of speeds and you don't need to change the gears again and again.
    Only thing i felt bad was its seat. It is a bit harder for long rides that you may need to have an extra cushion work. Overall i'm happy with the bike i chose

    1. Buying experience was very good. Thumbs up.
    2. Riding exp is very good. If mirror vibs are there, just remove the mirror completely and wipe the inside and re-install to snug, not over-tight. It has been solved for me and will solve for everyone.
    3. Looks are subjective but I love the looks and performance is on the next level.
    4. Till now I have my first service is done, which is ok ok not bad.
    5. Pros: good performance, attracts people, refined engine, bassy exhaust
    Cons: some vibs which will b solved if you remove and re-install the part(any parts), fit n finish is not up to expectations.

    Got my red, pulsar 250f, after the test ride and 2 days of waiting period from kiviraj motors, hesargatta road, bengaluru. Buy experience at the showroom was average, more like government workers type behavior, besides this on positive side riding experience with this bike is very good, the engine has good pickup and very comfortable to drive. Looks are very good, definitely, it's a head-turner on road,. I was owning pulsar 180 before and exchanged it with this. Clearly, i can make out the engine difference and refinement.

  • First delivery in karnataka

    2 years ago


    Sriram Kasbe

    I pre-booked the pulsar 250 a week after it launched in November and was told to expect delivery by December and was quite happy with dates , took first delivery in karnataka state on 16 dec 2021 and chose the red color than the grey as it was too bland, 24 hours and 87kms later i still get an economy of more than 40, using it for mainly city commutes, will use it for long soon , but the way power delivery is designed it feels like 220 and ns200 had a kid who is much refined vibe free and so peppy that it opens a new feeling everytime you cross 5k rpm mark . Definitely better than ns200 or 220f in terms of performance although looks are a bit subjective i did not personally like it , but as millennial say , looks don't matter.
    Definitely a proper all rounder motorbike with enough to get you all over India and still be light on your pocket.

    The buying experience was good, but it took 24 days due to mismanagement by mg bajaj erragadda, the engine is very refined, I exchanged my pulsar 150 and I can clearly make out the difference, so far I have driven 1000+ kms and I am getting 39 kmpl, as others highlighted initially mirrors were vibrating at the speed of 50-60, but post the first service it has been stopped, so far great experience.

  • Budget-friendly beast

    2 years ago


    Parth Rilkar

    I haven't purchased this product yet but I'll tell you everything that I learned in the span of 30-60 minutes of riding it. So let's start with handling you may feel a little weight on the handlebars if you came from lighter motorcycles also you may get surprised to see how well balanced you can ride at slow speed or you'll love to ride it on the highway to get ever stable experience at high speed or on triple digits. Secondly, the push, the power, and the torque are there from the start that you might just go out of control but I would suggest do not do that cause it's risky. I was surprised to see the smoothest engine paired with a light clutch and smooth, effortless gearbox. Once you rode it you can't unseen the affection bike throws at you, making you go wild with her but I didn't ride it on the highway I rode it in city traffic so overall handling and performance are so damn practical. Also, I will always prefer faired motorcycle over a naked one cause it gives extra stability at higher speed and also may help you get fewer windblasts by having a windshield. Talking about appearance and looks this one is my favorite cause when I rode it in the city the ones who asked me which brand or which bike is this looks familiar or they got a huge smile when I told them that it was from bajaj pulsar, the twins as low as 1 lac 40k. Also, the engine sound attracts everyone on the radar they have to turn their head to make sure they heard her right. And yes the seat comfort is well paired with mid suspension as you won't feel little potholes cause this machine glides through all of that I only felt the speed breaker other than that the riding experience was quite effortless. Like just spin the throttle a bit and you'll get enough power to filter through traffic as well as fuel efficiency around 40-45kmpl after the 1st service as mentioned by my friend who owned it since April. Believe me, once you test rides it you'll immediately fall in love with her as she comes within your budget and provides you great fuel efficiency with enough power to maneuver here and there. I doubt you'll feel the need for 6th gear cause I didn't feel that urge to go on 6th but trust me you can say that it's a budget-friendly beast!!! also if dual channel abs were there then experience or dependency could have been better but you can go for alternatives like dominar 250 or rs 200 they come with liquid cooling & dual channel abs but are not so budget-friendly as f250.

There wasn't this problem as such but if you are someone who doesn't care or love your bike and only sees her as a machine to go from one place to another then she'll get the issue due to your riding style. I would say ride her with care and love she'll give you what you expected as well as unexpected.

  • First delivery in karnataka

    2 years ago


    Sriram Kasbe

    I pre-booked the pulsar 250 a week after it launched in November and was told to expect delivery by December and was quite happy with dates , took first delivery in karnataka state on 16 dec 2021 and chose the red color than the grey as it was too bland, 24 hours and 87kms later i still get an economy of more than 40, using it for mainly city commutes, will use it for long soon , but the way power delivery is designed it feels like 220 and ns200 had a kid who is much refined vibe free and so peppy that it opens a new feeling everytime you cross 5k rpm mark . Definitely better than ns200 or 220f in terms of performance although looks are a bit subjective i did not personally like it , but as millennial say , looks don't matter.
    Definitely a proper all rounder motorbike with enough to get you all over India and still be light on your pocket.

    The buying experience was good, but it took 24 days due to mismanagement by mg bajaj erragadda, the engine is very refined, I exchanged my pulsar 150 and I can clearly make out the difference, so far I have driven 1000+ kms and I am getting 39 kmpl, as others highlighted initially mirrors were vibrating at the speed of 50-60, but post the first service it has been stopped, so far great experience.

  • Budget-friendly beast

    2 years ago


    Parth Rilkar

    I haven't purchased this product yet but I'll tell you everything that I learned in the span of 30-60 minutes of riding it. So let's start with handling you may feel a little weight on the handlebars if you came from lighter motorcycles also you may get surprised to see how well balanced you can ride at slow speed or you'll love to ride it on the highway to get ever stable experience at high speed or on triple digits. Secondly, the push, the power, and the torque are there from the start that you might just go out of control but I would suggest do not do that cause it's risky. I was surprised to see the smoothest engine paired with a light clutch and smooth, effortless gearbox. Once you rode it you can't unseen the affection bike throws at you, making you go wild with her but I didn't ride it on the highway I rode it in city traffic so overall handling and performance are so damn practical. Also, I will always prefer faired motorcycle over a naked one cause it gives extra stability at higher speed and also may help you get fewer windblasts by having a windshield. Talking about appearance and looks this one is my favorite cause when I rode it in the city the ones who asked me which brand or which bike is this looks familiar or they got a huge smile when I told them that it was from bajaj pulsar, the twins as low as 1 lac 40k. Also, the engine sound attracts everyone on the radar they have to turn their head to make sure they heard her right. And yes the seat comfort is well paired with mid suspension as you won't feel little potholes cause this machine glides through all of that I only felt the speed breaker other than that the riding experience was quite effortless. Like just spin the throttle a bit and you'll get enough power to filter through traffic as well as fuel efficiency around 40-45kmpl after the 1st service as mentioned by my friend who owned it since April. Believe me, once you test rides it you'll immediately fall in love with her as she comes within your budget and provides you great fuel efficiency with enough power to maneuver here and there. I doubt you'll feel the need for 6th gear cause I didn't feel that urge to go on 6th but trust me you can say that it's a budget-friendly beast!!! also if dual channel abs were there then experience or dependency could have been better but you can go for alternatives like dominar 250 or rs 200 they come with liquid cooling & dual channel abs but are not so budget-friendly as f250. I rode her in between the hottest time of the day 12 pm to 1 pm and I didn't feel the engine is getting overheated. There wasn't this problem as such but if you are someone who doesn't care or love your bike and only sees her as a machine to go from one place to another then she'll get the issue due to your riding style. I would say ride her with care and love she'll give you what you expected as well as unexpected.

    I would say go for MRF zappers or if you don't care about mileage then you can use 140 section rear tyre which will be helpful in cornering. Also, the bike is superb at handling the department you'll love it. Thank you!

    Right from the start the product is superb in terms of looks and styling. Looks very powerful and feels light. The city and highway rides are a joy to begin with and it makes you always look for the opportunities to drive it.
    I am very happy with this new purchase and power surely makes you fall in love with it.

  • Pulsar F250 11 months ownership review

    21 weeks ago


    Prem

    Buying experience - I had to buy a 2 lakh motorcycle after selling (due to back pain issues) my Bullet Electra Twinspark 2014 in December 2022. Apart from F250/N250, I considered motorcycles like the Hornet 2.0, FZ25 & R15S, Xpulse 200T 4v and Apache 200 as options. Didn't consider RS200, NS200 or 220 since they're dated. Test rode all options in Jan 2023 and immediately realized that no other bike in the segment is providing such a plush ride with decent handling. It also fulfilled most of my other requirements as well. Without much delay took a dual channel unit home in Feb 2023 for around 1.75L on-road Thane.
    Riding experience - After riding a long-stroke RE engine for years, it took me some time to get used to an over-square engine and also to F250's long turning radius. But once you get used to this, this bike becomes fun to ride.
    Looks - Subjective. I wanted some sort of fairing but not too wide like the RS200.
    Performance - Power and torque are sufficient for cities and highways. The bike is stable at triple-digit speeds. There are vibes post 100kmph but we rarely get to cruise above 100 on Indian roads. But the vibes are manageable during occasional top-speed runs. Fuel efficiency is very good for a 250cc motorcycles. You can get 33-38 kmpl in the city depending upon road and traffic conditions. On highways, this gives above 40 if you cruise between 70 and 90kmph. Efficiency starts to drop after 90kmph. For instance, if you cruise at 100kmph constantly you'll get around 37-38kmpl. LED projectors are decent too.
    Servicing and maintenance - My running is not too high, I have got 2 free services done. 1st free service with an oil change cost me around 800 and 2nd service with an oil top-up costs 400. Bajaj's 20W-50 oil by the Gulf is not the best for highways. Gets black at 2000 km. I recommend Motul, Idemitsu or Shell. Overall maintenance of any bike depends upon the rider's riding style.
    Pros -
    1. Good power and torque delivery, good suspension.
    2. Awesome brake bite and feedback from both the brakes in dual channel ABS unit.
    3. Aerodynamic fairing.
    4. Good headlight throw.
    5. A good semi-digital meter console that provides adequate information.
    6. A combination of a comfortable riding posture, great fuel efficiency and 14-litre tank capacity gives a riding range of more than 500kms on a single tank easily which makes it an efficient tourer.
    7. Spare parts availability is decent.
    Cons -
    1. RVM on the fairing panel vibrates even at slower speeds and lower RPMs (I've installed NS200 RVM on the handlebar).
    2. Plastic panels are a lot better than before but still need improvement. Stickering peels off too easily.
    2. Being a good tourer, it must have had a display for maps and navigation.
    3. Bajaj service centre people aren't good everywhere. I had to change my service centre since the one associated with my dealer didn't even listen to my issues/feedback properly.
    4. Noticeable vibes under the rider's seat after 7k rpm. But doesn't stop the motorcycle from pulling further as such.
    Can't recollect any other cons.

    Use better oils than OEM on any vehicle if highway use is more. Be gentle on potholes as being rash can harm the suspension, chassis and your back.

    I am using this bike for the last one month. It's the very smooth and the fastest bike.I got mileage around 37-40km per ltr. Also good bike for both highway and city riders.And also a good bike for a long ride. The top speed of this bike is around 150kmph -163 kmph. The sound is also very good smooth sound. It has good features and cheapest bike comparing others.

  • Fantastic beast

    2 years ago


    Karthik

    I own this bike from January. This bike looks great than in pictures. Things i considered while selecting this bike are
    1.New design attractive look
    2.Assist& slipper clutch
    3.Longest seat in 250cc segment
    And the features like real time mileage indicator, average fuel efficiency will help to get max efficiency.
    Exhaust is bossy and louder which gives a great feeling. Nice riding posture so that you can easily manage to take reverse too.
    Engine is so powerful that the bike starts to run when you leave the clutch. 5 speed gearbox has long range of speeds and you don't need to change the gears again and again.
    Only thing i felt bad was its seat. It is a bit harder for long rides that you may need to have an extra cushion work. Overall i'm happy with the bike i chose

    Arjun P

    1. Buying experience was very good. Thumbs up.
    2. Riding exp is very good. If mirror vibs are there, just remove the mirror completely and wipe the inside and re-install to snug, not over-tight. It has been solved for me and will solve for everyone.
    3. Looks are subjective but I love the looks and performance is on the next level.
    4. Till now I have my first service is done, which is ok ok not bad.
    5. Pros: good performance, attracts people, refined engine, bassy exhaust
    Cons: some vibs which will b solved if you remove and re-install the part(any parts), fit n finish is not up to expectations.

    Got my red, pulsar 250f, after the test ride and 2 days of waiting period from kiviraj motors, hesargatta road, bengaluru. Buy experience at the showroom was average, more like government workers type behavior, besides this on positive side riding experience with this bike is very good, the engine has good pickup and very comfortable to drive. Looks are very good, definitely, it's a head-turner on road,. I was owning pulsar 180 before and exchanged it with this. Clearly, i can make out the engine difference and refinement.

    Can't recollect any other cons.

    Tips for other riders

    Use better oils than OEM on any vehicle if highway use is more. Be gentle on potholes as being rash can harm the suspension, chassis and your back.
