2021 Bajaj Pulsar F250 & N250 | First Ride Review | Top Speed, Mileage, Exhaust Note, Price & More

- After months of waiting, Bajaj has finally launched its highly anticipated Pulsar N250 and Pulsar F250 in India. These are the new top-of-the-line Pulsars, and the faired 250cc motorcycle but will not replace the ageing Pulsar 220F. The Pulsar 220F is priced at Rs 1.32 lakh and interestingly, Bajaj has priced the Pulsar N250 at Rs1,38,000, while the F250 will set you back by Rs1,40,000. At these prices, Bajaj has positioned the bikes between the Yamaha FZ 25 and the Suzuki Gixxer 250 twins.
While these are all-new Pulsars which will sit at the top of the Pulsar family, these are running a new engine that hasn’t been derived from the KTM family. They’re running a relatively simple air-and-oil-cooled setup that gets a 2-valve head. And while this motor makes the same power as the NS200, this is the torquiest Pulsar made till date. There are some new features here such as an LED projector headlight as well as a slipper clutch, but not much else.

When Bajaj launched the Dominar 400, it impressed the reviewers. But not so well in terms of sale.
The original Pulsar 220 was a failure, so much that Bajaj had to go back to the drawing board, remove the FI unit and re-launch a conventional carb version, which succeeded over the next couple of years.
Bajaj learned the hard truth about Indian consumers - we aspire something, but buy something else that our pockets can afford. The new twins may not be so inspiring with segment firsts. But it will sell well with a no fuss reliable engine and its good accessible torque.
The next revolution and segment firsts, will come from Dominar range and will get passed on to Pulsars over the years, once its proven and accepted by commoners.
After the disappointment from Varun's Sugarcoating on powerdrift, which I didn't expect from him and had me craving for more shumi, I'm glad Karthikeya did a no nonsense review addressing everything people were doubtful about the pulsars.
Tldr, the pulsar doesn't over promise but still delivers. There's nothing to be excited about but it's a good motorcycle and an improvement over the prev gen, and it's cheap, you want one, you can get one. Won't blow your socks off but won't disappoint you either
This is the strategy of Bajaj in the development of these pulsars i believe. Since it was going to be a replacement for the 220, i think they just wanted to build a modern motorcycle which is affordable but with more of like a city commuter rather than a new quarter liter sports bike, much like the 220 when it came out
@@apolloxlix679 no. The strategy here is to build a bike with new features, focusing on the new engine hence the design seems basic and not agressive. This 2 models are fillers until they announce an optimised version of cooler looking, better performance bikes that uses the same engine.
Edit: we'll see amazing bikes soon. This was just an announcement for their new engine and alittle bit of hint on what to expect on the upcoming ones.
@@GuerillaWar4s new features?!! Oh my, what invisible features has Bajaj given to this spartan quarter liter commuter apart from a slipper and assist clutch?! Going by features and engine technology, this bike is sparser and backward compared to the 2007 Pulsar 220. They're giving single channel abs after 14 years in 2021. Some features Bajaj has given.
@@apolloxlix679 you've nailed it, king!
This bike should have been launched by 2015 this is to late ..just like hero killed karizma R bajaj is just hitting final nails to the coffins
they are the nicest bikes to come out of India, just don't compare them to foreign designed bikes. SO THE LOOKS ARE COOL AND ATTRACTIVE.
Simple Engine , No ktm Shared Engine Bajaj Do hard Work This motorcycle for those Who love Pulsar 😘
Team Bajaj after listening to 2:05 :
Band karo ! Haath jodke 🙏 main aap guzzarish karta hun 😂🤣
n250 looks good to me...at an affordable price point. This bike rides better than other pulsars to this date. It doen't focuses on New Technology but does the basic rights.
Many will criticise bajaj but deep down we all know that fuel efficiency matters the most
This is a sensibke machine for day to day use and occasional touring.... Considering the increase in fuel prices, i think this is the best spec to extract both power and efficiency.
2:06 you know when the channel isn't sponsored and believe in speaking the truth ❤️❤️❤️
We are waiting updats on pulser 150
In terms of look
I still love the Pulsar 220F and NS200.
I still love how it revs, how it goes.
If I want to buy a cheapest 250cc bike, then I will go for Yamaha FZ25.
Yamaha's reliability, Yamaha's refinement are better than Bajaj.
But Kartik sir I like that way you explain.
Its an experiment with the pulsar series! That's what I feel, company didn't invest much on cosmetics, its just a cost cutting yet little more power 220 ... At the same affordable price of its previous sibling pulsar 220. If Bajaj gets a good public response they will get more Cosmetic changes and maybe a few more features like upside down suspension in front, slipper clutch like the dominar, liquid cooled engine, dual channel ABS, better & more premium looking lcd/led speedometer display, cooler looks etc in the coming future! A very well planned strategy, without having to lose much on the investment pulsar project! I am a happy carburettor Pulsar 220 owner! Last but not the least, expected much more from Bajaj and Bajaj did led me down with my expectations! We all have waited ages foe the new upgraded pulsars all our lives, just didn't get what had been expected! Thankyou BAJAJ! .
It already have Slipper clutch.
It already has slipper clutch X2
@@JaegerLeo is that all that matters to you? What about Liquid Cooled Engine like the NS/RS ... For better performance? How about a 4Valve Engine, & not 2??? Don't you feel the new Pulsar 250 needed an upside-down suspension in the front??? The most important factor of all switchable dual ABS??? manh!!! It needed a DOHC engine not the same old SOHC!!!

10 years of wait and 30 cc more displacement to the engine with a 🤞 slipper clutch is all that matters to you ??? 😂😂😂 Are you even a pulsar fan??? 😅😂🤣
Pulsar 220F was, is and always will be a legendary motorcycle in it's class.
220F is a shit....... Don't call it legendary
Pulsar never excels in fairing, even in RS200. They're poor in execution. Look at triumph street triple RR, that's perfect semifairing. No 6th gear, No dual channel ABS, and you're calling it Legendary makes no sense.
Thanks for calling out the lack of dual channel ABS, even as an option. If Govt had not made it mandatory, Bajaj would have skipped it all together. It's the Maruti of 2 wheeler world.
Hero is like Maruti. Bajaj can be compared to Tata.
@@protograde2723 I am comparing in terms of safety and the compromises these companies make. Tata has never compromised on safety.
Hero = maruti , bajaj = mahindra , tvs = tata 🙂
What about the Royal Enfield Classic 350 with a single channel abs for a hopping price of 1.75 lakhs???
@@techlyf3597 1.75? It's 2.23 mate
0:11 That head turn😂😂 sorry man, could not stop laughing...
Bajaj were really conservative in their approach with this pulsar line up . My only grunt though , is lack of dual channel ABS. Engine is fine , as most Indian riders prefer low end torque over late delivery. Looks are just ok , if not the most original ! I also have a feeling this line up won't attain a cult status like the 220 f or the NS200 did .
Actually man , Bajaj should have given it dual channel ABS as standard because that would have given it a edge over FZ25 with all those additional features too. But the FZ25 atleast gets the basics right with the Dual channel ABS, Side stand down engine cut off , 140mm thick tyre and better built quality which makes it a better all round package still . Infact people will buy the 220f, RTR 200 and FZ25 even more now🥱 since they offer what people want in abundance.
@@aashutoshbhagat2677 Indian brands like Bajaj , TVS , RE rarely put 140 section rubber on their bikes . You see even the RE interceptor and GT got 130 section tyre if I am not wrong .
@@Jonakkk yes i don't understand why do they do so. Either they had opted 130section tyre or directly jump onto 150section but no 140.
@@Jonakkk RE gives 140section tyre on Meteor 350. But it's a Cruiser bike.
i think there surely be a abs model coming in future same like ns200 late but surely come.
Decent job from bajaj . And I feel like the n250 is a bit more mature and cleaner . I am more of a fairing guy but surprisingly the n250 has the better exterior design.
Exactly the f250 looks like Suzuki Bergmann 125 with those LED DRLs and overall shape of the head light unit 😂
But the N250 despite being a MT15 clone still looks better than the F250.
Cheapest 250cc with good cruising speed..
True legend 😈never die😎
I think you should really look into fz250
@@unnikrishnan1729 it's still the cheepest 250cc with refined engine.
@@ShivamSingh-bw9rt yes and way better than pulsars
These are proper Bajaj motorcycles! In that way, it does the job, ie commuting just well, nothing too fancy, nothing too much, but wouldn't disappoint you either. It's just that the NS and the RS set people's expectations high. The thing is, both of them are motorcycles that are more on the KTM family, than Bajaj, whereas these two are on the Bajaj side
Pulsar f250 bike is my dream and fact about this bike price this bike value for money and I love this bike design and hiss performance
I own a 200ns bs4 was planning to upgrade to this as i was waiting for this for a long time..... But i must say I'm thoroughly disappointed by the new plusar over all package.... I'm better off with my 7 years old 200ns. It's still a beast in it's category.
@@DilkeKareeb Ya that's what i was saying.... No originality in the looks and no innovation.... In 250 cc segment i think gixxer 250 f is a better option....
Gixxer 250 with 35k more is surely not a good option but RTR200 is a good option.
@@niriap9780 ya refinement wise it is i totally agree with you.... But I'm more into top speed and acceleration..... I feel rtr 200 is not a match even for a 200ns leave gxr 250 apart. It's my point of view on this... Otherwise rtr is a wonderful bike i agree....
If you want a bike that can dominate NS then ist dominar 250/400..
Perfect upgrade.
How do you have a seven year old bs4 motorcycle? Didn't the bs4 transition take place in 2016-17? Just a thought.
Affordable 250cc bike love india love bajaj ❤️
Bajaj gave first time digital speedometer
Black engine
Alloy wheels in indian market.
That trend followed by other companies in indian market.
Pulsar xcd me first time digital speedometer aya tha.
But some typical indian thinker always praise foreign companies.
Sorry guys I don't agree with u..........I think the Pulsar f250 are awesome and splendid, I mean for people who want everyday commute and occasional highway cruise with some kick ass style it's right in the book.......jaha tak baat raha paint job ka wo to baad mein bhi kud se change karwa sakte hain ☺️🤘......btw have a good one guys ☺️☺️🌻......SM out 🤘🌻
I just love that shining red color on pulsar....😍😍😍
Kartikeya makes things lil more interesting and cool to watch a 250cc motorcycle as 1250cc motorcycle 👍 Good work
It's so apathetic that today's modern commuting motorcycle "designs" feel like they're inspired by speedy sketch with a rough concept showing some sort of form. They feel like "Feet forward motorcycles" concepts with slight tweaks here and there...certainly because they need to be "economical" at the end.
More than 10 years of wait, and what we get is 30 cc more displacement to the previous pulsar 220 engine! 😂
What were you expecting? A litre class bike?
Why Don't You Go And Help Them, The Way Your Spitting Facts, You Seem More Accomplished As A 2 Wheeler Manufacturer 😂😂😂

And decreased 1 gear too😂😂😂😂
Kartikeya sir,
ur presentation wows us as always..
Really very very nice presentation.. 👌👌👌
4-Valve would make this breath easy and would make this better,
6th gear instead of slipper clutch is better
-->Bluetooth with navigation is needed for long distance touring
-->Dual channel is missing,they can give it at this price point
-->Bigger tank & oil cooler with more fins can be given to make this touring friendly & muscular
-->Bajaj should think about these & update ASAP to satisf6 customer who want to use this for touring
2:07 very true ...look at the headlamp 😂
2:07 truth has been spoken 😂😂😂 ...
🤣🤣🤣
Bajaj is like Chinese company. Cheap and unreliable because it copies other brands.
Yeahh 😂
Glad karthikeya sir atleast mentioned the omission of Dual channel ABS and the top speed and acceleration times along with mileage . Because powerdrift didn't mention any cons at all especially the Dual channel ABS bit which should be mentioned as this is a 250cc bike.
But that MT15 bit was funny 😄 .
Did u have noticed powerdrift addressing issues of newly launched motorcycles ,they claim they have the best automotive content but do they really
@@coolasashaolinmonk20 Their informative videos are good ,the ones where they make people aware of different problems and all (Shumi's videos) but Reviews are heavily sponsored to the point of being kiss-ass . I am not talking just motorcycles but cars too. Its all the visual glory of awesome cinematography and heavy scripting sure it's funny sometimes but you can't deny that other channels like Motoroids , Motorbeam and Autocar etc try to do justice to the bike/car by telling you all the practical bits which you should know. Sure they are also sponsored upto certain extent but they atleast try to answer people's questions about a car or bike through their reviews.
They did show the single ABS as well as mentioned some build quality issues. So...
@@Vyshak75 Powerdrift didn't say anything but zigwheels did a no nonsense first ride review on it and mentioned everything that can be said after a thorough testing.
A no nonsense review ... Loved it ... Bajaj sadly has given us a maruti... Nothing to get excited about... But still practical ... Given the asking price ,,, it still would make sense ... But not something you'd rush to buy, but buy after weighing all pros and cons ... This bike also underlines the incredible value the NS is ... Even in 2021... And I'd still pick it over everything else... Otherwise the fz25
Best bike ever back
Why single channel abs
Bajaj should give option for single and dual channel abs
It it comes with 4 valve head, liquid cooling....take my money...
I'm booking NS200 again with black wheels....but the chip shortage has ruined everything....
Still 220 looks the best
🤮🤮
😂🤣
Nahi re wo old ho gayi bhai new acchi hai kya torque delivery hai bhai us ka awesome

The beginning of New era. bajaj should be makeover all the pulsar lineup in this New platform
No matter what, ZigWheels always nails! 🔥
Pulsar 220F still good one over this cheap design
All we needed was a duke 250 or 390 engine in the NS cradle, tuned the pulsar way. The naked wolf design never gets old in my opinion. I will still turn and look around if a NS passes by anyday. #Ns200❤️
if you all have watched the live stream, Mr. Bajaj's emphatic intro into why PULSAR is the heart and soul of Bajaj, and then they deliver such mediocre, half baked under whelming products...
they could have gone all out and made a game changers, but playing it safe, avoiding collateral damage i.e sibling rivalry and making sure these fit thier product portfolio by slotting in perfectly without standing out too much to underwhelm all their other products, MAN! That there was the business decision that will get them millions in sales but devoid them of another legend like the 220F....
this could have been your chance to set free a different bike, one thats not only not based on a detuned KTM mill, but also one that packs a punch no less...but either bajaj's engineering is incapable of designing a superior 250cc engine and therby dethroning the one KTM designs or they simply will not becasue of thier own stake in the Austrians, ergo the fiduciary responsibility!
I understand Bajaj's decision here with playing safe because they didi mention that the 220 was a good seller. Since these are supposedly the bikes to replace the 220, maybe they didn't want to mess with the formula too much, maybe just a newer 220 of some sorts.
In that sense, i think Bajaj has done a great job. However in your sense of making game changers, i completely agree with your statement. But ultimately for manufacturers, if something doesn't sell, then they have low income which will hamper the development of new bikes. So i guess Bajaj is in that stage of hunting for sales in the moment
Still waiting for fully faired bikes from pulsar
Ntorq have 3 valve but big pulsar have 2 valve it's give more vibration?
They were saying tht it's countered so may be some vibration at rop revs according to all review
The last words u said r the most important thing in this vdo . Respect 🙏
No bike can change pulsar 220, it's a legend, it's a different kind of motorcycle, love ❤ pulsar 220❤.
Tbh.. Old 220F looks more pretty than the new F250 😅
And N250 looks dumber than NS but it's better than 250F. newer 220F is quite disappointment
Hey Zig Wheels, I wanna ask that does it have initial torque like of p220? And which one has best initial torque among SF250, dominar 250, F250 and P220?
It has more actually, not only in numbers, but 80% of torque comes in at around 3k, so yeah.
Gixxer 250 has the best pickup out of all.
Graphics & labling, They done fantastic job..
No more labeling... It's descent & perfect
F250 looks stunning
comments section are so funny. Ppl talk about 6th gear, 4 valve engine, big tyres but still need good fuel consumption and budget oriented. Talking like they did R&D in motorcycles. And the most funniest comment, that they talk about bluetooth/whatsapp is missing kind of :D Are you going to play with the console or ride a bike? Even gear position indicator is useless once you are familiar with the bike.. Because of this 2k kids comments (who never rides the bike) , which started to give unwanted messages to manufacturer hence they started to concentrate on cosmetics and increasing the price drastically.. And now a days even after you paid huge amount, still they make very bad pillion seat comfort/worst suspension but none of the rider wants to talk about it rather reviewing cheap cosmetics. unhealthy !!
I like F250 , it looks touring friendly. Better wind protection and of course it looks better. Pricing is best in its class. Good job Bajaj for keeping pricing in check with decent quality motorcycle.
Pls make a comparison videk btwn yamaha fz25 and pulsar n250, and what to select between slippery clutch with single channel ABS and dual channel abs with simple multi plate clutch
The disappointment is they did not provide dual channel ABS as an option. Single channel ABS with 24.5 bhp is risky for highway speeds at 120 kmph.
Ns 250 looks promising bike
Waiting for this bikes.... 🤗🤗
Only issue is single channel ABS, still good bikes. Its funny the 0 -100 timing is same as FZ25 despite having 24.5 bhp. Comfort in N/F250 is better than NS/RS200.
Hamara bajaj😍
would have been thousand times better if they would had reduced 20kgs from dominar 250 with the same engine specs.
As someone who got his first pulsar 20yrs back...i do miss the special feeling in this generation. Yes, i m old...but still a biker (even though my body parts are failing:) ).
The tank , the main character of pulsar, atleast is metal...but not bulbous 18L of the original bad boy (definitely male).. its like if you go fast and brake hard.. the bike shows who is the boss 😎...it's a funny n painful feeling (sorry millenials..can't explain in detail)
Either way...i hope i can do a retro-mod of this bike..and make it look like my 2001pulsar. Or, i ll wait for 2041..when i retirr and get my next one.
Got my pulsar 17 years back. Totally agree with u, the brand has lost its charm
Can't fathom Bajaj's strategy. I think people are going to appreciate and buy the NS200 and the F220 more. Maybe that's what Bajaj also wants. Anyways a relatively balanced review compared to some of the other reviews which, frankly, were disappointing to say the least; but disappointing seems to be the overall theme when it comes to these two bikes.
220f.... Is fully power... 🔥🔥🔥
Where's the review of the hero xpulse 200 4v? Eagerly waiting for that...
This is bike mileage issue???
Mai 250cc Bike Lena chahata hu.
Meri priority hai, very comfortable suspension and very smooth engine.
Avg around 35 kmpl, Budget 1.70 lakhs.
Mai ne Yamaha FZ 25 and Pulsar N 250 mein se kaunsi bike Leni chahiye please.
So if u have to buy which pulsar will u buy..?
As now m planning to buy this new pulsar..
What we miss is the price point, both these bikes will be super sucessful.
The real question is can the Pulsar N250 beat the MT-15 in acceleration and top speed. Surely, 160 plus kg of weight won't help the former.
Auto cancelling indicators hai kya 220 jese ?
Lekin 220 ko side me khada kr ke dekh....look se abhi bhi fad dalti he sab bikes ko.... legend hai bhai 220 abhi bhi..
Copied MT15 face and it's a 250cc engine it needs a liquid cooled system.
Bajaj gave liquid cooled for NS and RS 200
Gonna buy it
220f is still a Legend !!
What bajaj needs to focus on coming pulsar is
big wide tyre....
more refine engine......
Better quality Inbuilt material.....
Why do everyone needs so much of tech ?
I mean you can feel the motor over that bike .. why only top speed ? Why liquid cooling if oil cooling just is fine .. ? Why ergonomics like r15 or rc ? Which is not even practical ? ..
The headlight of n250 is like evolution of older pulsars .. the wolf eyed .. more than those of mt.. people just like to criticize or what ?
As per everyone's opinion the sales of pulsars would have been stopped years ago .. but why is it still selling so much ? Is it just because of the names ? I think not .. today when the introduction of bs6 fi & abs has made a huge increment in the price .. & the petrol is just getting higher numbers ..
This would be a perfect bike for most of those who want to shift to 250cc I guess .. not everyone are craving for those higher tech & those speed numbers ..
If you didn't like it you can go for other options .. Why wasting time in criticising.. let the customers do their choice..
When will it be available in the phillipines
Hello, how can I get one of this pulsar n250 am in Kenya.
Please do Best 250cc bikes…
I still think that the 220F feels more bigger and has the best front end ever. The Visor is like a proper big bike. And the lights my my.
Front side profile reminds me of Honda Stunner..
Is the "Infinity Instrument Cluster" as you described it.....rain protected.... looking forward to a few comments.....
Who all are waiting for RTR 200 4v vs N250 comparison video??
220...🔥🔥🔥
As a bike enthusiast i would never support n250 due to originality issue but i do like the f250
i hope they'll make pulsar rs400cc and above
The Pulsar 220 has a Speedo indicated of 145 kmph top speed... So the 250 is actually slower than the 220..not impressive
You do know that on these reviews the top speed is always lower right? Even on FZ v1 some people could attain around 135 kmph but on reviews they mostly said around 120 kmph only
Crisp and true review. As always
Will it be comfortable for 6 ft tall rider
Will it look too small for that tall person
Very potent machine
And would love to see a direct comparo with rtr 200
I don't know why but I was expecting more from plusars .
will ns200 be discontinue???
Instrument clusters nice 😍
Don't think these new kids will achieve the cult status of OG 220F and 200NS
sir जी इसमें एवरेज ज्यादा किसमे है। आज की तारीख में पेट्रोल का ही प्रॉब्लम है।
The tail looks damn good
Bajaj please come back for #indonesia
Old ns200 and 220f tha best💯
Can't wait
