Does the Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z live up to the hype?
Pulsar NS400Z has been making a lot of noise in the biking circles. It is still a naked sports bike but with its aggressive styling, powerful engine and advanced features, it's touted to be Bajaj's flagship nude sports bike. But is it all it’s cracked up to be, or is it just corporate spin? There are riders who praise its performance and value; and others who don’t think it performs as well as other options. It’s also a discussion about the price point – is it worth it for what you get? It has mixed reviews on build quality, reliability and after sales service as well. Long term ownership experiences are limited as a new model. Is the NS400Z really a game changer for Bajaj and Indian motorcycles or is it just hype?
In my opinion, totally worth it. For the price though, the NS400Z packs a serious punch. You're getting near super bike level performance in a much more practical package. It’s not perfect, but if you can show me another Indian bike that gives you this much bang for your buck I’ll buy you a drink.
Overhyped for sure. The bike itself is pretty meh, but Bajaj's marketing team deserves a raise. Its essentially just a bloated NS200 with bad build quality. It's a KTM or spend a little bit more money for a more reliable Japanese option.
It's a mixed bag. There’s a great engine and performance, but refinement is still something Bajaj needs to work on. The higher one goes in speed, vibrations can become an issue. Nevertheless, it is a massive leap forward for Indian motorcycles and the promise is great. In two generations it'll be a real winner.
I'm honestly disappointed, as a NS200 owner I was super excited for this. Bajaj cut corners, it feels like. Aggressive riding will find it out of its depth, with the brakes not being up to much. It’s good, but not the game changer we hoped it would be.
I feel people are being too harsh. Bajaj has done a decent job with this attempt to a 400cc naked for a first attempt. It’s not perfect, but if you’re looking to get off a smaller bike without spending a fortune, this is a good option. It has a hard to beat value proposition.
