Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z

Price: Rs. 1.82 Lakh

The Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z now gets a smaller 350 cc engine, to meet the new lower tax slabs under 350 cc, and to avoid higher taxes on motorcycles above 350 cc. Even with dialled down output from the smaller engine, performance is very much still on the menu, and in 2026, the performance-to-value equation of the NS400Z remains as compelling as ever. At this price point, it still offers superb bang for your buck!
