Bajaj Pulsar 250: A new and improved version
The Hindu
The new Pulsar 250 offers a good price-to-performance ratio while improving upon every aspect of the Pulsar 220
The Bajaj Pulsar undoubtedly is one of the most popular motorcycles in India and has a huge fan following. So, one can imagine the challenge that Bajaj faced when it was time to develop and launch the all-new Pulsar 250. The danger of ruining a tried-and-tested formula loomed but coming up with something fresh was equally important.
The previous Pulsars were always regarded as bikes that moved the game forward by offering something unique for the segment. From fuel injection in the 220 DTS-Fi to the liquid-cooled NS200, the Pulsars were trendsetters. The new Pulsar 250s do not continue in the same vein and instead concentrate on offering a nicer ‘Pulsar’ experience. After all, they are meant to take the baton forward from the Pulsar 220 and not replace the NS200.
Beginning with the styling, it is clear that Bajaj wanted to play it safe and not do something radical that would turn off its large Pulsar fan base. The Pulsar N250 and the F250 are identical when it comes to the fuel tank, side panels and tail section. The differences lie in the F250’s semi-fairing, sharper-looking LED running lights, and the tall clip-on handlebars.

They found the duration of trumpets remained fairly consistent across all age classes for both male and female Asian elephants but roars and roar-rumbles got longer with age.

The STS-63 mission, more popularly dubbed as the near-Mir mission, was a successful mission that spanned from February 3-11, 1995. A mission that served as a dress rehearsal for later missions that would rendezvous and dock with Mir, STS-63 reeled off a number of firsts. A.S.Ganesh tries and lists them out for you…
