The wait seems to be nearing an end with news about the upcoming Pulsar 250 pouring in. According to Motoroids’ sources in the component industry based around Pune, Bajaj is in the final stages of developing an all new 250cc bike for India. The engine has been under development for quite some time now and the new Bajaj Pulsar 250 will feature a parallel twin, four-valve per cylinder liquid cooled 250cc engine. Power output is expected to be anywhere between 27-30bhp with top speed of 160kmph. But the most important piece of news is the pricing, which is expected to be south of Rs. 1.5 lakhs!!
With the Pulsar 250, Bajaj will take a major upward shift in technology. On the cards is a new aluminum beam frame (used mainly on superbikes), rising rate link type mono shock rear suspension, front and rear disc brakes, clip-on handle bars, projector headlamp, new digital instrument console and most importantly a completely new design. When launched, the Pulsar 250 will undoubtedly set the benchmark for ride, handling and performance in the premium biking segment in our country. What do you think should Bajaj offer on the Pulsar 250? Please share your views in the comments section below.

What the 250 should offer(in that order):
1.handling (at least comparable to bikes like the r15 or the ninja)
2.Some really good quality performance cycle parts.
3.reliability and fit and finish (no squeaky bits and panel gaps please)
4.a radical design statement ie no faux plastic panels minimal design function over form etc etc (for god’s sake get a good look at the ktms)
5.kerb weight around 140 kgs
6.tyres 110 front and 140+ rear

Briarreos, you have spoken right out a enthusiasts heart. I thought most would want more power and higher top speed.

Bajaj has taken its technology to a all new standard but still it lacks in QC department. The quality which Bajaj provides if matches with the technology it is heading with would definitely be a plus point for Bajaj and I think it is an area where Bajaj really has to improve.

Looks Like a KTM to ME.
March 19, 2010 at 10:38 am
i hope this new bike looks different from the current pulsar range..
March 19, 2010 at 3:37 pm
Dhiraj, this bike is expected to carry the next Pulsar design.
March 19, 2010 at 11:17 am
Should make all the engines 4 valved, most important the 220cc…
Rest all, cheers to bajaj…good move…
still, with all these specifications, price may go upto 170k, but its bajaj, so keep the fingers crossed…cant say anything…8-]
March 19, 2010 at 9:59 pm
@fas …good then ..i think it will be inspired by KTM, design…
March 19, 2010 at 11:59 pm
i think this is just a concept
March 23, 2010 at 12:12 am
why do i smell that bajaj is takin a step against the Apache 220? Either way, its us bikers who r gonna enjoy the show..
March 23, 2010 at 12:40 am
Arun, the current Apache is good enough to give the Pulsar 220 a run for its money. So the A220 will surely kick some a**
May 5, 2010 at 1:22 pm
Rofl, its fake.
I hate when some website publish such fake news to get more views.
250cc and bajaj, really long way to go. I would have believed if it was the apache 250. 1st of all all pulsars handles like a cycle, and 250cc in such a frame = death of the rider, so pulsuc 250 is just a dream

just wait for Honda 250cc coming up at Diwali.it will take shit out of bajaj low quality bike
August 5, 2010 at 6:34 pm
considering indian market pulsar twin should be of variants catering the needs of city biking, street bikes, and off road versions and of course cruisers also would be welcome. these variations can help it bajaj to focus on the deliveries like, power, mileage, comfort, performance.

Well its good to see that there will be pulsar 250..but well according to present 220 F & 220S..i think they r da benchmark for bike market in India as they just cost around 69K-72K(ex-showroom) so accordingly if they increase CC by 30..& BHP by 7-9BHPs..& addon oil cooled engine..it shud not cost mor than 1 lakh.. like costly YAMAHA bikes..well ya 1.5 lakh is also not so much but ya according to price of P220.. P250 is much much costlier..& hence i think i shud go for P220 S next year & add on – 120mm tyre on front, 140mm tyre in rear, 2 disk brakes in front, 2 exhaust..then l8r i’ll add R15 headlight & fairings :D
well can u plz help me by telling me overall cost of these modifications?
well i’m thinking for 220 S as it is less costlier & i want r15 headlight only not 220 F’s…
plz reply me on harshil.4x4offroader@gmail.com if u think i’v spammed this page..well i was unable to contact any gr8 bikers who could help me so..
THANX IN ADVANCE

Well,Bajaj/Honda/Yamaha/…whatever the order maybe,for sure on the tech front Honda and Yamaha are way ahead. This given,it’s good to know that some work is underway to produce high capacity and high performance machines from Bajaj. Unfortunately,Bajaj sacrifices their technology with economical pricing points,in turn compensating the quality. I guess they just go by the price factor which is pre-dominant in countries like India(which is understandable). You can’t have the cake and eat it too..
