BREAKING: Bajaj Pulsar F250 And Pulsar N250 Launched At Rs 1.40 lakh And Rs 1.38 lakh

The F250 costs around Rs 6,000 more than the 220F

• The 250cc single-cylinder air-cooled motor with oil-cooler claims to dish out 24.5PS and 21.5Nm. 
• Both bikes get LED illumination and an analogue-digital instrument console. 

The Bajaj Pulsar 250 twins have been officially launched in India with the asking price for the Pulsar F250 set at Rs 1.40 lakh and the naked Pulsar N250 retails at Rs 1.38 lakh (both ex-showroom, Delhi). Fair to claim that these are among two of the most affordable 250cc motorcycles currently on sale in India. 

Both bikes feature a fresh design with an optimum balance of sportiness and practicality. You get LED illumination throughout. Not to mention, the half fairing on the Pulsar F250 seems to be neatly executed while the fascia of the N250 reminds us of a certain 155cc Japanese streetfighter. 

Bajaj has plonked in a 250cc air-cooled single-cylinder motor with an oil-cooler and claims it to dish out 24.5PS and 21.5Nm. It’s mated to a 5-speed gearbox and gets a slipper-clutch as well. For reference, the Pulsar 220F makes 20.4PS and 18.5Nm. 

Feature wise, apart from LED illumination, you get an analogue-digital instrument console and a USB charger. The analogue dial houses the tachometer and the digital screen gets the speedometer, trip meter, time, fuel level readout and a gear position indicator 

The 250 twins use a split-tubular frame suspended on a conventional telescopic fork and a monoshock setup. Meanwhile, the braking hardware consists of a 300mm front and 230mm rear disc brake with single-channel ABS.

The two Bajaj Pulsar 250s rival the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250, Gixxer SF (as per the price), the Xtreme 200S and the Yamaha FZ 25.
