The Bajaj Pulsar NS400 offers great performance and looks. The engine is powerful and delivers excellent acceleration, making it ideal for highways. However, the fuel efficiency could be better, and the bike feels heavy in city traffic. The seating is decent, but longer rides may not be the most comfortable. Overall, it’s a solid choice for those looking for performance, but it comes with a few compromises.

After 3000 km on my NS400, sharing my experience: Pros: Appearance: The NS400 stands out with its unique Pulsar design, though reminiscent of the NS200. It offers a muscular and stylish look. Fuel Efficiency: Achieves 35-39 kmpl on highways, maintaining decent mileage with a balanced riding style. Performance: As the most affordable 400cc bike, its power is linear and handling precise, but feels more like a high-end 250cc. Features: Offers dual ABS, ride modes, traction control, connectivity, USD forks—a comprehensive package. Comfort: Upright seating with minimal wrist pressure; stiffer suspension suited for long rides. Service & Quality: Good support from Bajaj; notable improvement in build quality compared to previous models. Cons: Vibrations: Noticeable at 4-5k rpm. Display: Lacks refinement; pixelation issues in direct sunlight. Headlight: Poor adjustment causing glare issues for oncoming traffic.

it is a game changer for performance bike who want an affordable, high-displacement bike. Building on the NS series' reputation, the NS400 would likely come with a powerful engine, perhaps a derivative of the Dominar’s 373cc motor, offering strong acceleration and highway performance.

The aggressive, forward-leaning stance seen on the NS series may offer sporty handling but could prove less comfortable for long, bumper-to-bumper commutes. Price-wise, if positioned right, it could disrupt the market, but Bajaj would need to ensure build quality and service support match expectations, as riders here value reliability and hassle-free maintenance. Competing with established offerings like Royal Enfield and KTM would mean walking a tightrope between raw performance, comfort, and cost efficiency.
