Hey everyone,

I’m based in Mumbai and planning to buy a Bajaj Pulsar N250 next week (cash purchase). This will be my first bike, so I’d really appreciate some guidance from experienced owners or buyers.

I’ve contacted a few showrooms, and I’m getting quite different on-road prices—some are quoting around ₹1.71 lakh, while others are saying closer to ₹1.60 lakh. This price gap has me a bit confused about what’s genuine and what might include hidden charges.

Could anyone suggest:

Reliable showrooms in Mumbai to buy from?
What the realistic on-road price should be right now?
Any ongoing offers, discounts, or negotiation tips?
Things to check before finalizing (insurance, accessories, handling charges, etc.)?

Since it’s my first bike, I want to avoid any mistakes or overpaying. Any advice, recent buying experience, or recommendations would really help.
