Bajaj Pulsar F250 Price in Satara

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.

About the Reviewer

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.

The bike is now at 15600km run, I have changed the clutch plate 6 times, and even though the parts are not available takes 14 to 20 days for resolving the issue, and the maintenance cost is greater than the bike cost. Totally waste of money. This bike will make a hole in your pocket. Even if you won't get the proper solution after that you contact any of their seniors.
