In fact, the SS400 might be the ideal track for beginners. This will have enough power to grow into, but not enough power that it is unmanageable. Crash parts are less expensive than a high end sport bike and if you crash, you have a lot less to lose.

Bikes take the brunt of track riding. I would recommend the SS400 for track use only after I see how reliable it is. At the circuit you do not want to be stuck with a lemon.

Track riding is about the chassis and brakes. Whether it has 50 or 100 horsepower, Bajaj can use the SS400 as a great learning platform if they get those right.

Why not? It will be fast enough to be fun but more forgiving than a 600cc supersport. On top of that, you can take it for a street ride without murdering your wrists and back.

Absolutely worth it! What the Indian market needs is a homegrown supersport that is affordable and can compete with KTM and Honda, and the SS400 is exactly that. This one is the first step up from Bajaj.

Overhyped, if you ask me. Bajaj is no expert when it comes to high performance machines, but commuter bikes. Rather than that, I would have preferred going for a proven bike like the KTM RC 390 or even saving up for a proper Japanese supersport.

It's a mixed bag. The specs seem promising and the styling is spot on but I have no confidence about Bajaj's quality control. With a good fit and finish, they could could have a winner.

Worth the hype? Maybe. Worth waiting for? Definitely. Worse case scenario, the SS400 isn’t great – for the most, the SS400 may even be to other manufacturers to raise the bar in the 400cc segment. We riders always benefit from competition.

I think that people are setting their expectations too high. I expect it’ll be a nice bike, but it’s not going to change the industry. End of the day, still a Bajaj.

Given that it is Bajaj’s first serious attempt at a full faired sports bike, the hype is justified. It might not be perfect, but it will help open the way for better Indian supersports in the future.

I'm cautiously optimistic. However, if Bajaj does price it right and offers good service support, the SS400 could be a game changer in the budget motorcycle enthusiast category.
What is the real world rideability of Pulsar SS400 against KTM RC 390?

In the city traffic, the SS400 is likely to be more forgiving. Being familiar with the Indian market, Bajaj will have a more upright seating position and smoother power delivery compared to the RC 390.

KTM all the way! The RC 390 is more fun even in the city because of its aggressive nature. After a while, you will not want to ride anything else.

Aside from that, it really depends on your riding style. The RC 390 is razor sharp if you are into spirited riding. However, the SS400 could be the more relaxed commute.

Don't underestimate the RC 390's practicality. You can still drive it in the city, but yes, it is sporty. It might be more comfortable in the SS400, but it might be a tad uninspiring next to it.

The SS400 might have a slight advantage in heat management. Given that Bajaj has more experience with Indian conditions, it is likely to run cooler in traffic than the KTM.

I don't think so. However, the riding styles of the SS400 and Dominar 400 are different. The SS400 will be the choice for sport bike enthusiasts, but if you want a more versatile machine, then the Dominar will be your pick.

In fact, it could even increase the sales of Dominar. However, the SS400 will help Bajaj get more attention towards its 400 cc lineup and some people who find it to be too sporty can go for the Dominar instead.

The real question is, will KTM be able to sell at least the same number of bikes as before the SS400 came out? It may be that Bajaj is using it to retain customers within its own brand rather than losing them to KTM.

I believe they will coexist just fine. See how Honda handles the CBR and CB series. Different strokes for different folks!
