The Bajaj Pulsar has been in the news for a while since most of the models got an update, and the NS range also saw a new introduction, the NS400Z. Now, with the launch of the Pulsar F250, Pulsar fans are left with a pressing question — should one pick the new Pulsar F250 or the updated N250?
To answer the question, let’s break it down and compare the two motorcycles, looking at their differences and similarities, to help understand which of the two motorcycles suits you the best.
Bajaj Pulsar F250 vs N250 — Differences explained
Let’s start with the differences first, and that means straight into the design of the Pulsar F250 and N250. The F250 gets a larger front fairing that also covers the side of the fuel tank, while the N250 gets a much smaller fairing, rather, just a headlight shroud. While both motorcycles use a dual-beam projector headlight, the DRLs are different, which in combination with the fairing, gives them a distinct look.
The next big difference is the suspension setup, as the Bajaj Pulsar F250 gets telescopic forks, and the N250 gets USD forks. That said, the N250 gets a traditional handlebar while the F250 retains clip-on bars. This does not mean that the motorcycle is more sportier, since they are raised to offer more comfort.

The two motorcycles also get three ABS modes- Rain, Road and Sport.
The other similarity between the Pulsar F250 and the N250 is the engine, they use the same 249cc, oil-cooled single-cylinder engine that makes 24.1 bhp and 21.5 Nm of peak torque with the help of a 5-speed gearbox.
