The Pulsar N250 houses a fuel tank with a capacity of 14 litres which is decent. Coupled with a fuel efficiency of ~35-40 km/l depending on city and highway usage, one can expect an impressive tank range of around 500 km on a single tank of fuel.
Bajaj Pulsar N250 Pros
Well-rounded, good-looking sporty commuter package packed with features and practicality
Nicely priced. Undercuts most rivals in the segment
Addresses almost all the weak points of its predecessor, while still retaining the solid fundamentals such as the engine and chassis characteristics
Packed with features such as slip-and-assist clutch, upside-down fork suspension, digital instrument cluster, turn-by-turn navigation, LED projector headlight, switchable traction control, ABS modes, integrated USB charger, etc.
Tractable engine with oodles of low-end torque coupled with good gearing and very light clutch makes riding effortless and adaptable to varied usage
Refined engine with NVH levels rivaling Japanese 250cc commuters
Deep and bassy exhaust note
Mature suspension behaviour offers a nice balance between ride quality and handling
Bajaj Pulsar N250 Cons
Front brake feels wooden and lacks progressive feedback. Rear brakes are devoid of any bite
Some quirks in the ergonomics department, including placement of rear view mirrors, handlebar & side-stand lever
Windblast and buffeting even at moderate speeds
Sporty only within urban confines. Not very composed at highway speeds or during fast cornering
2-valve engine runs out of breath with climbing revs. Lack of sixth gear reduces the fun factor on highway rides
Quality of plastics and decals, although better than before, has room for improvement
Bajaj bikes are not known to age very well and it remains to be seen how long-lasting the refinement levels and plastic quality will prove to be over a few years of usage
