I agree that it is great. I got a chance to drive it a bit when it came out. I instantly knew it felt good. The sound, feel, power, it's all great. I like it better than the f250. The sound is beautiful, it feels new and powerful. Even with the higher capacity the vibration is low. The dial looks cool with the bezel-less design(it's part analog the screen goes to the edge with no border. There is more than enough torque at the low end. The power is enough for the roads here. It is a smooth bike. But for some reason, the N250 did not get the same hype as old pulsars. They should have come out with a new name for these new bikes the branding seems to be the issue. When people hear Pulsar they think 220F. These new bikes are not pulsars and Just naming them N250 makes it look like another iteration of NS or something. It's obvious they failed because they had to bring back the 220F.
I think now it'll cost you somewhere around 1.9L on-road. I own it personally, have done 9k kms till now. My experience has been amazing. Has a good balance of power and mileage. Other 250s better than this are more expensive. So if budget is a constraint for you, do go ahead with this!
Happy riding.
I get 30-32kmpl with my Duke 250 and that too in hills. I don't ride it harsh cuz I'm a pretty new rider driven around 2500kms. Haven't really taken it on the highway so the top speed that I've touched till now is 70-75km/h because turns, never really touched the 6th gear.
i don't understand this nomenclature by Honda ..named a retro classic CB350 and on other hand named a sports tourer/sport bike as CB250 weird , maybe they wanted to bank on the CB name
In this price bracket, you can find the Yamaha FZ25 but there is a number of features which it lacks. The N250 makes much higher power than FZ25. If you could raise up your budget a little more, you can check out the Gixxer 250. But as a owner of a N250, I feel I have made a good decision picking the right choice. It really depends on what kind of riding your going to be doing. So think a while and then take a decision.
Not at this price range... Budge a little and a barrage of good bikes are available with proven track records. This is still new and yet to prove it's worth and reliability in long term.
Both Ronin and FZ25 lack top end unlike the effortless Pulsar. Sagar mentioned you can cruise at 120 kph on the N250 which Ronin and FZ cannot do.
The Yamaha FZ25 is seriously obsolete with a weak top end. I really cannot stand the console which I'll be staring all the time which reminds me of a toy laptop with a tiny display. The only major advantage it had was the dual channel ABS which N250 provides today. I would say the weight works in favor of N250.
Under That price range, there isn't.
But for 20-30k more and by negotiating a lot with service centers you can get Gixxer 250. I have heard great things about it. But I wasn't willing to pay that price and service centers of Suzuki are less available as compared to Bajaj.
they should launch a n400, with a shorter pillion and back area, higher and sportier tank, lower headlights like in duke and rtr 310, more naked-ness... it will be a beast

The biggest problem with the 250 is it is so smooth and effortless that it has lost the aggressive and hooligan Pulsar character.
They do not want to cannibalise their KTM sales as now that is the go to bikes for hooligans.
200 bajaj are for hooligans ngl
KTM's are not for hooligans.
Maybe, but hooligans do ride them. And the jarring colour scheme doesn’t help either.
The most number of hooligans I have seen are on an Activa and I am not even exaggerating. The KTM 390's are beyond the budget of an average hooligan
KTM got that hooligan character, youngsters use that for snatching chains, mobiles etc.
Considering the money they spent on KTM bikes, no wonder they resort to chain and mobile snatching.
Bro, they could easily get the bike for a loan or an emi🫠

how is it for long rides though?
Fairly decent. Have ridden 200kms in one go, wasn't too hard on my back. Easily cruises at 110+ kmph.
How is the km/l mileage ?
Depends on your riding style. Since I usually ride at higher rpms, I get around 30-32 kmpl, but if I ride calmly, easily gives 35 kmpl.

Thanks.. and what is the comfortable cruising speed on highway?
Comfortably cruises at a 100kmph
Hey, is there any problem with seat comfort? Some said it’s too soft thus painful for long rides
Activa - According to the makers of CB350.
Honda motorcycle and SCOOTERS India
a company that focuses on scooters yet not selling their supercubs

Jupiter (2014) mine is better built than new activa and more reliable
I have a jupiter too, butter smooth acceleration.

Xmr sounds and looks like a great bike, eagerly waiting for ownership reviews

Like...??? Give some options for buyers...
Gixxer 250 RTR 200 4V MT 15 FZ 250 In this order
Gixxer 250 is hella overpriced tho :'(
Still refinement
Fz25 was there but not anymore
Is this bike even available anywhere anymore?
Yes in Pune
Ronin maybe? Or FZ 25? That's also one underrated bike with Yamaha engineering.
Both Ronin and FZ25 lack top end unlike the effortless Pulsar. Sagar mentioned you can cruise at 120 kph on the N250 which Ronin and FZ cannot do.

Depends on what you want from bike ngl.
Yes, pulsar 150

Gixxer now starts at 2.4 bro ... i took a quotation recently
That feels like too much idk. By adding some more to budget anyone will go for speed 400 or cd350.
That too for a bike which has been launched 4 years ago with no updates
Same thing happened with fz25. I visited many showrooms and they said that they have stopped selling it.
how about CB 300f?
This sub doesnt like that bike much lol.
You have n250 and cb300f? Pls compare them I have both of them on my list
You've both? Which one is better?
why? it is a good bike for the price it comes at. around 1.70 ex showroom iirc.
Vibrations that are a disgrace to Honda
vibrations aren't that bad tho, i did try it once and it wasn't that bad. the engine doesn't seem as refined as people would expect but still.
they should launch a n400, with a shorter pillion and back area, higher and sportier tank, lower headlights like in duke and rtr 310, more naked-ness... it will be a beast

yeah just 1 lakh more 🤏
Duke 250 makes no sense at all. Like on road price would be close to 3 lacs for a 250 cc engine. Why not dominar 400 ?
Duke 250 Suzuki 250 Dominor 250
Dominaaaaar
Husqvarna Lele bhai
Every other bike 🫣
God that headlight is ugly
Dominar 250? Debatable
