Shumi sir, you are a prime example of how journalism should be. When I do get a chance to go through your work it always feels sustainable, unbiased and wise. I really do get to learn a lot from your work. Lots of love and respect to you sir, and thank you PowerDrift for giving us such excellent content.
@Shumi: I agree with you when you say easy to ride bike would feel slow. Never though it in that way, but in retrospect it makes sense. I ride a Pulsar 135 LS and I 'feel' it's a fun bike in city traffic. This is something I 'felt' the day I started riding it as you call it in "Flow state", constantly keeping it in it's sweet spot ( around 6000 to 8500 rpm). It does not make a lot of torque or power with that buzzy engine , barely crosses the highway speed limits, but it does walk up and down the rev band quite well. That meant I can bang through gears 3 to 5 on open stretches, then blip down one or couple of gear as the traffic slows down then back up again. This constant choreographed dance made my office commutes a lot more engaging and may I say it, fun. While doing so I used to think I was doing crazy speed, but a quick glance down would reveal a 2 digit number. That said, how do you think these Pulsars stack up to that use case ? Are they more Yamaha FZ like or still a Pulsar just with relaxed riding cadence. Not upgrading my bike, just in search for different riding experience.
Excellent video. Whenever Shumi goes in technicalities it's always fun to learn. Only one annoying thing, OLX Auto wale bhaiya was like a khadoos peon coming and disturbing a really interesting lecture.
I liked this one.. it's clear .. gives a good idea about the product it feels like shumi has actually talked as if he was a lead Bajaj developer on this project.. but thanks for such gr8 content
Mr shumiiii! How can you be this clear. You are giving a lot of info. You are a gift to powerdrift. Expecting a lot of podcasts from you even if it's not covered by automobiles.
You r just awesome in explaining any topic.i remember how you explained about pulsar 135ls n its 4valve technology 10 years back. I understood that n never forgot that..n bought pulsar 135ls..(imagine a human with 4 nostrils which will make u more efficient) u said these words that day.. Now after this explanation it is gonna be the same story..m gonna take one of these bikes..😊
Great video as always PD and Shumi. Big fan. I follow your motorcycle content with great intensity. I learned a lot from watching this. I hope now people will stop pestering the RTR 200 with the sixth gear...sixth gear and everything.
The easy performance will be appriated by me, but I don't get the fact that it why it doesn't get a dual channel ABS even as an option and the section of rear tyre 140 would have made it look more muscular and handle well at corners.
Smaller tyre means more agility and better mileage. That's why and about ABS, it's to keep the cost at what they wanted. As Shumi said, they thought of the cost pretty much from the start.
@@satishjoseph definitely. They are better and even lasts longer but this is a very basic bike from Bajaj so it was expected. They made this as a commuter. Hopefully the next RS and NS gets a more premium treatment for the younger fanbase.
@@sushantdutta8707 I get the sense behind using a smaller section tyre, but ABS is a safety feature and to comprise on that is a bit of a bummer, atleast as an option they could have provided as a consumer It would been nice to have that option.
It's awesome details to have such straight talks .. it's clear the mind of all the PD fans... Just two thing dual channel ABS must have and side stand kill switch / no self .. should be there in future Bajaj Pulsar series
Plz make a detailed comparison video between these two and fz 25, would like to know about difference in power n torque characteristics and overall feel of riding.
I am looking for my first bike am confused between the pulsar n , Apache and the x pulse 4v , test rode the dominar 250 felt it was expensive and heavy , was thinking about the classic/bullet but way out of budget at almost 2.5 lakhs , I love the way the x pulse looks and what it has to offer , apache to me looks like a no nonsense machine, while I don't know about the new pulsar , does it uphold the legacy and fun of its predecessor ,also rode the mt15 , loved it but at the same time felt overpriced , what I am looking for in a bike is easy to ride , reliable and easy to maintain while being fun and good looking , so pls suggest something , I would have bought the x pulse but at almost the same price the rtr and pulsar have more power , I have that fomo of power and torque with the x pulse
Shumi speaking is almost becoming the benchmark of moto journalism..and he does it really well..he talks tech makes it really simple(which btw is not easy)..and keeps it really unbiased..like info..info..info..simple explaination..something about varun..short summary..ok..you choose..4 favourite buttons.. PD has the best combo.. Ek genius rider..ek cute cool..knowledgable rider..aisa kidhar milta hai bhai..
Go for dominar as it is more affordable than gixxer & get more advanced features like dual channel ABS, Liquid cooled 6 speed transmission with slipper clutch. Before buying plz do a test drive of it 🙏
Yes we really would love to have more question answer videos! Thank you Powerdrift for explaining in such a details! Liked this content and helped in understanding the reality of technologies as well!
I think it would have been easier for Bajaj to provide the 6th cog rather than explaining the absence of it.. I understand the peak power and torque is available quite early in the rev band so they didn't feel the need of it.. But the same Bajaj felt the need of a 5th cog in the Platina 110. It took them 15 years to listen to customers to find a true replacement of the Pulsar 220 and I wonder who the customers were who asked Bajaj to stick to a 5 speed unit. Times have changed and the competition has moved ahead.. so, banking too much on the emotions of the yesteryears Pulsars and providing a bike with almost no USP is like forcing it down your throat. I ask for your forgiveness in advance for what might look like negativity.. but this is really depressing.. forget 3 Sparks and liquid cooling.. the least that was expected from the 250 was to have Oil Cooled, 4V and 6 speed or were we expecting too much.
The thermal stability management system is THE ONE AND ONLY reason why Pulsar AS siblings failed and Bajaj discontinued it. AS had a tiny twin spark air-cooled engine that produced 17+bhp with very front heavy handling. The bikes' engines heated like aloo paratha during summers. Very often it stopped and ceased to start up again after a severe 8k-9k rpm haul. The sweet spot for my AS was 4k-5k rpm which made zero point to validate the 17bhp considering the peak torque was at 9k rpm. That bike, was a bad bad experiment. Bajaj literally skipped R&D there, and many of the customers like me suffered that in terms of maintaining a pseudo-performance 150/200cc engine with not so commuter oriented design and handling.
Wow this was a perfect explanation about the technology and literally every thing the company decided to put on their bikes that we needed to know as to why ? Ha ha hats off shumi 👏 very educative naration . I request you guys for the reviews and q&a for the xpulse 200 4v as well . Thank you
Of course, after PD simplified I think I would enjoy a Questions Answered series as well. It is assuring me to be informed well in every aspect while making my mind to buy a bike..
PD release a video to justify this bikes behalf of Bajaj. Yes they made genuine points. I wonder why they didn't put these same logic in hornet 2.0 and cb200x reviews.
That's just amazing.... How easily you answered all the questions..... Totally loved your way of describing each and everything in the easiest way that even a beginner can understand every bit explained by you....
We like you to examine the levels of vibration and rattling in the new Pulsar bikes with the ones provided with a perimeter frame. Also why these bikes could not have been designed with a kerb weight of 154 kg the benchmark set by FZ25?. Why have the weights of Bajaj bikes climbed over time ie KTM 390 has added over 30 kgs since the first introduction. How is Honda CB 300 made with such a low kerb weight ? (Now not available in BS6). Do keep up your informative videos. 👍
Japanese bike makers have a lot more experience than Bajaj in designing engines and chassis. Engine casing is one area of weight reduction. Fortnine has a video on this in which he explains how much the casing thickness has reduced over the decades. I suspect Indian manufacturers still have some catching up to do in this area. Still, 6 kilos sound much better then D250's 20 kilo, making the latter a deal breaker. 390 is not 30kg heavier today, what gives you this idea? It could be a few kilos due to change in exhaust from under belly to a conventional one, bs6 additions, etc. Still, it remains as the lightest in its class. Check the weight of cb500, it is quite heavy to its disadvantage.
@@lvvenky9973 I found an old figure of 139 kilos of dry weight, without engine oil, fuel, etc. Weight wet was 154. Today the dry weight is 163 and wet weight is 167 kilos. Yes, weight has increased, but this duke is a different model than the old one. You were comparing dry weight of an older bike with the wet weight of a newer bike, which has a lot more electronics and emission control stuff.
If you are keen on the pulsar 250 and upset after the launch this the video and undecided on what to do , this is the video you need to watch. Fantastic explanation by shumi sir . I am really hoping PD team can make one such video on the Honda cb350 and the Re classic 350 which is again a huge customer market and will be very helpful.
I am a pulsar owner for the last 15 years and I am in search of a new motorcycle, was confused between the NS and the N series. Your explanation about them helped a lot to understand their characteristics. Excellent!!! Please continue with the series . . .
Which one did you buy ? Ns200 or N250 ? Or domi250 ? I'm interested knowing the answer as you have already own pulsar for 15 years. Please do leave your reply waiting for it.
@@tmpblurry4614 Sorry for the late reply but you will be surprised I bought Duke 200. I know such a transition must have a good reason so let me explain why not pulsar. In my owner's experience with pulsar it was a machine that doesn't cost me more money but it cost me my time to actually keep it in good condition. The spare parts are cheap for pulsars but the duration in which they have to be replaced was very frequent so almost I used to be in the garage every damn week. I wanted premium quality parts that didn't cost me time like pulsar did. So Duke was the best available option which is a premium category product from Bajaj. Hope I have answered your question with some extra details 😁
@@abhishekshrivastav3825 I decided to buy R15 as I'm a student and what's your thoughts on this ? After listening to your review I think I don't really want that much performance so NS200 or Duke 200 couldn't make it in my list. So R15 or N160 or Honda Unicorn or Hornet 2.0 so I decided to go for R15 as it has performance of 155cc if needed and mileage of 155cc so my family will be happy to see bike eating less fuel
Great video.. I think Bajaj never announce the phasing out of a motorcycle, it's nothing new. It's always the journalists and dealers who inform us. I think Bajaj does that to ensure they can relaunch the product if the replacement doesn't work. A hope they revive the V brand and lauch a V250. Plus they have a global portfolio where such news can affect sales in region where a particular product is not being discontinued..
I am 5'11 tall, I feel it is having shorter seat arrangement. Does that make feel discomfort while riding/after like back pain/shoulder pain ? I am planning to buy F250
Before comparing with the Likes of Yamaha and KTM what people must really understand is that Bajaj Motorcycle is never a premium brand it's a mass motorcycle manufacturer. Stop bla bla on missing features still the manage to keep the price affordable for the Middle class with most essential features.
Hatts off to Shumi sir, you explanation was equally sensible and knowledgeable as one of Bajaj's directors. Keep up the best work and looking forward to see such contents.
You dont need to worry about the ns and rs because they are going to stop making them. Gonna miss a ktm engine at low prices. But I hope the new ns is just amazing and it releases next year. Thanks for the informative video shumi sir.
Believe me Guys if you follow powerdrift seriously then you dont want to see this video because you already know all the answers. Shumi taught us all the things in past videos. He tailored all the answers for pulsar 250's . Powerdrift is a Worthy channel !!!
Waiting for : 1.R250 - replacing rs250 - may it get a racing based engine like cbr 250r - with - 27 ps power 2.N150 , F150 , R150 - may it get a better engine with good engine figures. With - 19 ps power
Bravo, great video! I wish you can do something like this or even the usual review on the new apache 160 4v with ride modes which seem to get no attention for some strange reason :)
Sir whether mt or n250 is worth buying As their price is approx same But many says that pulsar engines are totally not reliable and harsh also says that as like for example n250 may give 30 34 mileage that is not justified for 250 cc i think So only I think to take mt 15 rather that n250 Please answer dear I am waiting for your ans
Hello sir, I am looking for a bike which is good for daily cityride,office going, occasionally / regularly long distance ride(max 60km) including highways, ladies friendly pillon seats for mother and future wife. Are F250 and N250 capable of? If yes (I think it's a big YES), whichone should I buy? F250 or N250? As they look same, but as far I know N250 is good for cityrides , turning and all and F250 is good for those who do highway riding a lot or we can say for those who do daily basis for commuting
Sare ans Clear kar diye apne Jitne bhi sare log Bol rahe the we are disappointed But you clear all the questions I'm doing Automobile engineering I know I how a engine works which engine use which type of cooling system as these is not oversquare engine nor higher raving it's Square engine and dosnt have high compression ratio so it doesn't need oil cooling system and then it's Motercycle for more torque so this bike is all about mid range and it's not higher raving engine so it doesn't need 6Th gear it's very good video and This video is ans for all Peoples
Before pulsar n250/f250 there are no confusion between pulsar 220 and pulsar ns/rs because power figure are different, in the same way when ns/rs were updated there will be confusion between n250/f250 with ns/rs.
Just can't wait the range of motorcycles & their performance when shumi becomes the head of R&D of a company.... This man is lit 🔥... This is what reviews are all about👌👌
Hahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂, this video single handedly, let's not call it addressed but rather destroyed everyone who's been bitching about the pulsars and pushed them back into their burrows. This was the single most satisfying video I've watched, especially after the not so great review by Varun ( which I didn't expect from him ). Shumi being a boss as usual !!
one question which was not covered probably was that of optional dual channel abs like RE, reason being as you it can seem slow but actually not slow can be deceiving in terms of application of brakes and thereby necessarily having dual channel abs atleast as option, do you think it may not be necessary having practically ridden? can you get dual channel abs in servicing?
It's a brilliant justification... No doubt.... But I guess speculating the consumer's "NEED" n "WANT"... Anything above 1.2 Lakh price tag, not having a 6th gear is a deal breaker.... I guess Yamaha has faced it quite well... N hv reflected in the sales as wellm... I guess bajaj should sort this conundrum via Marketing (Ads)! And as always the best motoring journalism is right here😎 "."
I know we can't ignore the availability of torque but I still feel they should have named it Discover 250 rather than a Pulsar. They had around 8 years after the NS to develop all of that tech. I am not convinced with this justification for Pulsar brand especially when they have the NS which came back some 8 years back. It's an insult. Anyways, they are enjoying the market share with no competition so, their thought process is understood.
Banking in so much emotions to a yesterday's pulsar that bajaj decided to stick to a 5th gear transmission👏. No dual channel Abs even for a 250cc bike, no liquid cooled, 130 rear tyre for 250cc, no tft console or bluetooth connectivity. Totally dissapointed bye bye now bajaj
