Bajaj is likely to concentrate on tech features that will make the SS400 stand out. The fancy TFT display will have smartphone connectivity and perhaps even built in navigation. Alongside those details, they could also take a shot at ride modes and traction control to match more expensive bikes.

It’s not going to be able to compete with the established supersports. But that's not the point. Bajaj can deliver a great bike, which does look the part and offers decent performance at an affordable price and it can be a great entry level for those who want to get into sport bikes but don’t want to break the bank.

I believe that Bajaj will keep the SS400 one step below RC390 in terms of performance, deliberately. Especially since they profit from the partnership with KTM, they won't be keen to cannibalize KTM sales. The SS400 should be more comfortable and practical for daily use but less track focused than the KTM.

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.

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.

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.

Bajaj Pulsar 400 cc twins are expected to return around 30 kmpl from their 373.2 cc, single cylinder engine. The motor is liquid cooled and fuel injected, producing 43 BHP and 35 Nm of torque on the KTM bikes. Bajaj is expected to detune the engine and still keep the horsepower above 40 BHP and torque above 30 Nm. The Pulsar SS400/RS400 will carry the same design as RS 200 while the CS series would be completely new with cruiser styled performance bikes. They are expected to be priced above INR 1.5 lakh and kept under INR 2 lakh.

The Bajaj Pulsar SS400 would launch under the race sport category, with the name RS400. It come with the 373.2 cc, 1-cylinder engine producing approximately 43 BHP and 35 NM of torque. The shade options till the time are expected to be the same as the RS200, which include a Red and Yellow shade only. The Black Pulsar RS200 has also been spotted a few time, making the chances of RS400 in Black for real. The White shade is most probably the one which would be skipped. The bike comes with a good design, twin projector headlamps and expected ABS on both the wheels. It is expected with a price tag of INR 1,75,000.
