      Review for Bajaj Pulsar F250
      5.0
      Bajaj Pulsar F250 is a best bike in 250 segment. I use it for touring. For proper road its really worth buying. I don't recommend this bike for off-road. Bike design is quite good enough for all purpose. Mileage depends on the speed that you take. Since I ride it in highways usually I ride 70 to100 kmph depending on road. I get 35 to 39 kmpl mileage. Bajaj spare parts are not costly compare to other motorcycle companies. Only chain oil you need to keep checking every 500 kms. Riding- I recommend not to do any modifications except indicators and stickering. The body of motorcycle is made of metal and fibre and are correct at its level. Modifying this motorcycle like seat, crashguard, handle, may cause uneasiness for riding. In this segment (250CC) this is the only bike available at this (2lakh) price range. You won't get any other bike in this price range. If you take your family on this bike, then it is not recommended. Overall good bike.
