What will Bajaj Pulsar RS400 do to the Indian sportbike market?

In fact it might hurt the market in the long run. In fact, if Bajaj undercuts everyone on price, then other manufacturers will be compelled to cut corners in order to compete, thus creating a race to the bottom in terms of quality.

RS400 could be a great innovation in the segment. It’s a success, and it’ll push the rest of the manufacturers to up their game, whether that’s on the bikes or with better value. It has always been good for consumers.

It will be interesting to see how this affects the used bike market. An aggressively priced RS400 could depress the prices of used sportbikes, or could help attract buyers from other brands.

It is not just the bike itself but what it stands for. The RS400 may well prompt more Indian manufacturers to take on the big international brands in the sportbike segment. This could be the beginning of an Indian motorcycle era.

I'm skeptical about its impact. Commuter bikes are also associated with the Pulsar brand. More than one model will be needed to change that perception and actually shake up the sportbike market.

This could have the real impact on rider training and safety. Sportbike performance should be made available to all riders, and if the RS400 allows it we need to make sure new riders can take up the challenge responsibly.

It's decent, but not exceptional. Although the shock absorbers are wearing out faster than expected, the ride can get pretty bumpy on really bad roads. In this department, Ashok Leyland has to rise to the occasion.

Long haul between cities, and the Bada Dost i4 LX does the highways quite well. Stable at high speeds and comfortable for long drives. Only it struggles a bit on steep ghats - could use more power on steep ghats.

Mumbai is a mixed bag. It’s great for getting through tight lanes and the suspension feels a little taut for Singapore’s bumpy roads. Already, once in 8 months I had to replace the shock absorbers.

I am pretty satisfied as a rural transporter. I had expected it to do even better on kuchha roads and the ground clearance would have been just a little higher for those really rough patches.

It is maneuverable enough for city use. There are no monkey bars or parallel parking to learn. Nevertheless, the plastic parts in the interior rattle quite a bit on bumpy roads, it feels kind of cheap.

I drive in hilly areas of Uttarakhand and the Bada Dost i4 LX is good enough. A good grip on winding roads and the required power to wheel up a steep incline with a full load. On descents, the brakes are reliable as well.

Ok, but not as tough as I had hoped. I’ve had to visit the service center more times than I would like for suspension related issues, after a year of daily use on Kolkata roads.

It handles Indian roads rather surprisingly well for a mini truck. It steers light enough to be useful in town but fuses nicely at highway speeds. The build quality just leaves a bit to be desired - some rattles have developed this time after a while.

It is decent but not that great as Ashok Leyland says it is. With frequent stops in city traffic, I’m averaging about 11-12 km/l. Good, but not mind-blowing.

While the fuel efficiency is legit, you must drive it right. What also helps is to stay at a steady speed and minimize harsh accelerations. With practice, I am always getting better mileage than my old Bolero.

I am a little disappointed, to be honest. I guess my expectations were too high because I am only getting around 10 – 11 km/l on mixed driving conditions. Most of the time that’s with a partial load.

This is all about how you keep it. I’ve been religious about regular servicing and using the recommended grade of oil. Result? After 18 months of heavy use I’m getting fuel efficiency very close to the claimed figures.

It's efficient, but not consistently. I have seen big variations from the kind of diesel I use. If I use good quality fuel, I can make 15 km/l, otherwise it goes down to 12-13 km/l.

The fuel efficiency for a mini truck is very good. All in all, I have noticed that it does have a problem in hilly parts. On ungraded roads I am getting great mileage, on inclines it is terrible.
