New 400CC engine with sporty look at high performance
2 weeks ago
Ilamparithi
The first thing is the best bike for middle-class people like me, I Dream of having a higher CC bike but the thing is looks super but at comfort level if we drive for long like 50 or 60 km we get slight back pain. The cost of service is the same as another pulser model. Giving high power after reaching 80km/h speed only before that you'll feel like a normal bike after 90, 100km/h speed you'll get high power and the best part is instrument cluster is good at night not as old pulser.

The Best Pulsar with some Buts
7 weeks ago
Praveen Tripathi
I just completed 4800 kms on my NS400. Here's my experience in detail:Pros:1. Appearance: I like it. Though many would say it's an outdated look from the NS200, the design just stands out as with other pulsars. The problem with bajaj is they come out with really great designs and fail to deliver upgrades. The NS 400 doesn't give you the proper 400 cc big bike feel, But it does look like NS200 on protein, if not on steroids. Overall, it's a handsome-looking machine.2. Fuel efficiency: Right after the first service I did two long rides. The first one is a 160 Km run from Bangalore to Mysore, and back. I limited the speed to 70kmph. There was a little bit of hilly terrain and hardly 10 km of city commute. The odo reflected 39kmpl, though tank to tank in was 35kmpl. The next trip was Bangalore to Coorg, 250 km one way. Same mileage performance received. My daily commute is mostly 5-10 kms and since I stay a bit on the outskirts of Bangalore(Jigani), I don't see much traffic but have to ride in 2nd gear in local markets sometimes. The ODO shows 26-28 kmpl, I believe I get around 25. Mileage trics I feel work with this bike: a)Try to be in 70-100 kmph range and you'll easily get 35+ kmpl. b)The sport mode slightly improves the mileage by 1-2 kmpl both on city and highway. 3. Performance: This is the cheapest 400cc in the market and it shows. We just can't compare it with any othe 400cc sports bike in the market like the ktm 400, ninja 250-300, etc. Anyone planning to get this bike with performance expectations from 400cc bikes that are 1.5+ lakh rupees expensive should rethink. The bike is amazing, rides like butter. I think of it as a really powerful 250cc. The handling is superb. Though it's much lighter than the bulky Dominar 400, it still feels heavy if you try to reverse it out in the parking lot. All the heaviness disappears as you release the clutch. All the riding modes work well and Sport mode is really where the bike shines. The performance becomes linear and you slice through the highway like the sliver surfer.4)Features: Bajaj literally killed the competition here. Dual ABS, Ride Modes, Traction Control, Connectivity, USD forks, you name it, the bike has it all. It's a complete package. No complaints here.5)Comfort: I have always preferred a naked bike just for the sole reason of comfort. The seating position is almost Upright with just the right bit of aggression, thanks to the wide handlebars. You do feel some pressure on your wrists after 150kms but it's bearable. The cushioning in the seats is a bit on the stiffer side but its comfortable. The suspension too follows suit. Those who know would agree that stiffer seats and suspensions are better for longer rides. The pillion seat looks small but my mom said it was comfortable for her on a 12km ride. She sits sideways.7)Service Experience: It's always crowded. I don't know about other Bajaj service centres, but mine is Khivraj Bajaj Marathahalli Bangalore and I appreciate the way the behave till now. They listen to your concerns and connect you with the right person. 2 Months after the bike's delivery I received two calls asking about my experience with the bike and any other issues. The bike does have issues that I will cover in the cons section. The point is, they enquired about the issues and they have offered free replacement for the same. I like it. No machine is perfect, service is what makes it better.8)Product Quality: If you have ever ridden any other baja bike before, the NS400 is going to impress you with its quality levels. Bajaj has come a long ways in terms of quality. They have learnt alot from their ventures with other brands and it's evident with this bike. NS200 and NS400 have huge differences in material quality. This a a new era for Indian bike manufacturing. Bajaj deserves praise for that. No wonder they are now able to manufacture high-quality bikes like KTM and Triumph.Cons: 1: Vibrations: It has vibrations, and when they come they kinda irritate you. Somewhere around 4000-5000 rpm the ghandle bar buzzes and some of it can also be felt in the footpegs. It becomes smooth after 5k rpm. The vibration also causes some noise at low speeds from the headlight, front mudguard and dashboard area. 2. Display: Overall appearance is good but the UI is just okay. It lacks the sophistication you wish you should have. Poorly scattered and has too much info. But you won't mind it after a few days. The blue TFT display is pretty basic, and does the job, but has a big issue. If the bike is parked in the sun for 1-2 hours, the letters and digits become pixelated. It becomes difficult to read. I explained this when Bajaj people called but don't think they would be able to do anything about it.3. Headlight: Everything about is is great. The only matter is that it's fixed too high. So basically The normal headlight throw is positioned at what should be at the high beam. The high beam goes way above the trucks coming from the front. So the low beam blinds the oncoming traffic. Bajaj called to inform me that they if change it at the same service centre which I have planned to do at my next service this weekend. The thing is, such things shouldn't happen in the first place. We are talking about headlights.I think this sums up my experience to date. I'll update if something new comes up. Hope it helps other Pulsar fans make their decisions.Thanks

Best Sports street fighter Bike under 2.5 price segment.
9 weeks ago
Hrexieyt Yt
I have driven 1000 km, Engine performance is Good & my trip meter shows a fuel efficiency of 37 kmpl & I was unable to believe that it achieves 35 kmpl. But full tank basis I could see an average of 35 kmpl. And I think it has good looks because pulsars will look like pulsars, not like superbikes like people were expecting. It has great power according to me and the price range does not compare it with ktm . But the only drawback I think is its tires, Its shock decreases braking power. You should upgrade the tire of it.

After purchasing the bike needs to be serviced more than 5th time in a single month, though getting the same problems like jerking, pickup and start-up problems. After all this ASM raises his hand that he can't do anything. Don't buy Bajaj Bikes.

Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z
9 weeks ago
Abhilash
I have driven 600 kms in a Single day, Engine performance is Good & my trip meter shows a fuel efficiency of 42 kmpl & I was unable to believe that it really achieves 42kmpl. But full tank basis I could see an average of 35 kmpl. The only drawback is it misses out on modern appeal and carries the same siblings NS200 looks & the chain sprocket rattles a bit as usual in Bajaj family.

Value for money is never enough.

I had recently visited a Bajaj showroom to test ride the NS400Z and my initial impressions were good of the bike and how it has been put together by Bajaj.A few days back a friend of mine came with his new bike to show me and it was a NS400Z, thus got more time to spend with the bike trying to understand what it actually offered so here is my take on the NS400Z:1. "VALUE FOR MONEY" is the game that Bajaj is trying to play with its latest flagship product,the bike I feel is strictly made for people who want the 400cc engine but do not want to spend as much as a Duke 390 or the Triumph 400's or even the Dominar 400.2. The Dominar sourced engine is a very reliable and tested one and the state of tune that it's running in the NS is what makes it so appealing,you just have to open the throttle and the bike goes also to mention the sweet-sounding exhaust note that just puts a smile on your face every time you are pushing the bike to the redline.3. The design is where I feel the NS is lacking and Bajaj could have given a fresh tail section to the bike. The DRLs look good but the overall design appeal is not that great. There certainly are better-looking bikes in the market at the same price point.4. All of this,if looked at in isolation makes the NS a great motorcycle which it certainly is but when you factor in the other options available in the market in the 400cc segment, like the KTMs, the Maverick 440, the Harley Davidson X440, the Triumph 400s, the Husqvarnas, Jawa's/Royal Enfield's new lineup of bikes and also the TVS RR310 and RTR 310, the Pulsar just does not stand out. Among a sea of far better motorcycles, the only thing going the way of the NS is it's ₹184000, Ex-Showroom price which makes it a whole lot cheaper than the competition it has.All in all, what I think of the NS400Z is that it is a very good motorcycle in isolation but doesn't stand a chance against any of it's 400cc rivals and you should only buy one if you just can't spend more than the NS because you can't ride value for money for too long and someday or the other you'll understand what that means.

This bike has good cc which I can afford. I have seen many pulsar bikes and the bike looks more awesome than the rest of the bikes but one thing that I don't like is less mileage. if there is the possibility of increasing mileage then this will be better because petrol price is increasing and many of them will not be able to afford so please fix it.

Best in the budget, literally, no one can beat this bike, The looks are okay but loaded with features and its pickup speed is wow, I like the red color and I am still learning but still it's the best. If someone is complaining about the same look as the ns200, well it's a little different and I like it tbh, 373 cc bike at such a low price, completes your dream of having a superbike at such a small price tho.

The NS 400 doesn't give you the proper 400 cc big bike feel, But it does look like NS200 on protein, if not on steroids. Overall, it's a handsome-looking machine.2. Fuel efficiency: Right after the first service I did two long rides. The first one is a 160 Km run from Bangalore to Mysore, and back. I limited the speed to 70kmph. There was a little bit of hilly terrain and hardly 10 km of city commute. The odo reflected 39kmpl, though tank to tank in was 35kmpl. The next trip was Bangalore to Coorg, 250 km one way. Same mileage performance received. My daily commute is mostly 5-10 kms and since I stay a bit on the outskirts of Bangalore(Jigani), I don't see much traffic but have to ride in 2nd gear in local markets sometimes. The ODO shows 26-28 kmpl, I believe I get around 25. Mileage trics I feel work with this bike: a)Try to be in 70-100 kmph range and you'll easily get 35+ kmpl. b)The sport mode slightly improves the mileage by 1-2 kmpl both on city and highway. 3. Performance: This is the cheapest 400cc in the market and it shows. We just can't compare it with any othe 400cc sports bike in the market like the ktm 400, ninja 250-300, etc. Anyone planning to get this bike with performance expectations from 400cc bikes that are 1.5+ lakh rupees expensive should rethink. The bike is amazing, rides like butter. I think of it as a really powerful 250cc. The handling is superb. Though it's much lighter than the bulky Dominar 400, it still feels heavy if you try to reverse it out in the parking lot. All the heaviness disappears as you release the clutch. All the riding modes work well and Sport mode is really where the bike shines. The performance becomes linear and you slice through the highway like the sliver surfer.4)Features: Bajaj literally killed the competition here. Dual ABS, Ride Modes, Traction Control, Connectivity, USD forks, you name it, the bike has it all. It's a complete package. No complaints here.5)Comfort: I have always preferred a naked bike just for the sole reason of comfort. The seating position is almost Upright with just the right bit of aggression, thanks to the wide handlebars. You do feel some pressure on your wrists after 150kms but it's bearable. The cushioning in the seats is a bit on the stiffer side but its comfortable. The suspension too follows suit. Those who know would agree that stiffer seats and suspensions are better for longer rides. The pillion seat looks small but my mom said it was comfortable for her on a 12km ride. She sits sideways.7)Service Experience: It's always crowded. I don't know about other Bajaj service centres, but mine is Khivraj Bajaj Marathahalli Bangalore and I appreciate the way the behave till now. They listen to your concerns and connect you with the right person. 2 Months after the bike's delivery I received two calls asking about my experience with the bike and any other issues. The bike does have issues that I will cover in the cons section. The point is, they enquired about the issues and they have offered free replacement for the same. I like it. No machine is perfect, service is what makes it better.8)Product Quality: If you have ever ridden any other baja bike before, the NS400 is going to impress you with its quality levels. Bajaj has come a long ways in terms of quality. They have learnt alot from their ventures with other brands and it's evident with this bike. NS200 and NS400 have huge differences in material quality. This a a new era for Indian bike manufacturing. Bajaj deserves praise for that. No wonder they are now able to manufacture high-quality bikes like KTM and Triumph.Cons: 1: Vibrations: It has vibrations, and when they come they kinda irritate you. Somewhere around 4000-5000 rpm the ghandle bar buzzes and some of it can also be felt in the footpegs. It becomes smooth after 5k rpm. The vibration also causes some noise at low speeds from the headlight, front mudguard and dashboard area. 2. Display: Overall appearance is good but the UI is just okay. It lacks the sophistication you wish you should have. Poorly scattered and has too much info. But you won't mind it after a few days. The blue TFT display is pretty basic, and does the job, but has a big issue. If the bike is parked in the sun for 1-2 hours, the letters and digits become pixelated. It becomes difficult to read. I explained this when Bajaj people called but don't think they would be able to do anything about it.3. Headlight: Everything about is is great. The only matter is that it's fixed too high. So basically The normal headlight throw is positioned at what should be at the high beam. The high beam goes way above the trucks coming from the front. So the low beam blinds the oncoming traffic. Bajaj called to inform me that they if change it at the same service centre which I have planned to do at my next service this weekend. The thing is, such things shouldn't happen in the first place. We are talking about headlights.I think this sums up my experience to date. I'll update if something new comes up. Hope it helps other Pulsar fans make their decisions.Thanks

Best Sports street fighter Bike under 2.5 price segment.

Hrexieyt Yt
I have driven 1000 km, Engine performance is Good & my trip meter shows a fuel efficiency of 37 kmpl & I was unable to believe that it achieves 35 kmpl. But full tank basis I could see an average of 35 kmpl. And I think it has good looks because pulsars will look like pulsars, not like superbikes like people were expecting. It has great power according to me and the price range does not compare it with ktm . But the only drawback I think is its tires, Its shock decreases braking power. You should upgrade the tire of it.

After purchasing the bike needs to be serviced more than 5th time in a single month, though getting the same problems like jerking, pickup and start-up problems. After all this ASM raises his hand that he can't do anything. Don't buy Bajaj Bikes.

Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z
9 weeks ago
Abhilash
I have driven 600 kms in a Single day, Engine performance is Good & my trip meter shows a fuel efficiency of 42 kmpl & I was unable to believe that it really achieves 42kmpl. But full tank basis I could see an average of 35 kmpl. The only drawback is it misses out on modern appeal and carries the same siblings NS200 looks & the chain sprocket rattles a bit as usual in Bajaj family.

I had recently visited a Bajaj showroom to test ride the NS400Z and my initial impressions were good of the bike and how it has been put together by Bajaj.A few days back a friend of mine came with his new bike to show me and it was a NS400Z, thus got more time to spend with the bike trying to understand what it actually offered so here is my take on the NS400Z:1. "VALUE FOR MONEY" is the game that Bajaj is trying to play with its latest flagship product,the bike I feel is strictly made for people who want the 400cc engine but do not want to spend as much as a Duke 390 or the Triumph 400's or even the Dominar 400.2. The Dominar sourced engine is a very reliable and tested one and the state of tune that it's running in the NS is what makes it so appealing,you just have to open the throttle and the bike goes also to mention the sweet-sounding exhaust note that just puts a smile on your face every time you are pushing the bike to the redline.3. The design is where I feel the NS is lacking and Bajaj could have given a fresh tail section to the bike. The DRLs look good but the overall design appeal is not that great. There certainly are better-looking bikes in the market at the same price point.4. All of this,if looked at in isolation makes the NS a great motorcycle which it certainly is but when you factor in the other options available in the market in the 400cc segment, like the KTMs, the Maverick 440, the Harley Davidson X440, the Triumph 400s, the Husqvarnas, Jawa's/Royal Enfield's new lineup of bikes and also the TVS RR310 and RTR 310, the Pulsar just does not stand out. Among a sea of far better motorcycles, the only thing going the way of the NS is it's ₹184000, Ex-Showroom price which makes it a whole lot cheaper than the competition it has.All in all, what I think of the NS400Z is that it is a very good motorcycle in isolation but doesn't stand a chance against any of it's 400cc rivals and you should only buy one if you just can't spend more than the NS because you can't ride value for money for too long and someday or the other you'll understand what that means.

This bike has good cc which I can afford. I have seen many pulsar bikes and the bike looks more awesome than the rest of the bikes but one thing that I don't like is less mileage. if there is the possibility of increasing mileage then this will be better because petrol price is increasing and many of them will not be able to afford so please fix it.

Best in the budget, literally, no one can beat this bike, The looks are okay but loaded with features and its pickup speed is wow, I like the red color and I am still learning but still it's the best. If someone is complaining about the same look as the ns200, well it's a little different and I like it tbh, 373 cc bike at such a low price, completes your dream of having a superbike at such a small price tho.

New 400CC engine with sporty look at high performance
2 weeks ago
Ilamparithi
The first thing is the best bike for middle-class people like me, I Dream of having a higher CC bike but the thing is looks super but at comfort level if we drive for long like 50 or 60 km we get slight back pain. The cost of service is the same as another pulser model. Giving high power after reaching 80km/h speed only before that you'll feel like a normal bike after 90, 100km/h speed you'll get high power and the best part is instrument cluster is good at night not as old pulser.

The Best Pulsar with some Buts
7 weeks ago
Praveen Tripathi
I just completed 4800 kms on my NS400. Here's my experience in detail:Pros:1. Appearance: I like it. Though many would say it's an outdated look from the NS200, the design just stands out as with other pulsars. The problem with bajaj is they come out with really great designs and fail to deliver upgrades.
