Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z

I’ve been riding the Bajaj Pulsar NS400 for a while now, and it has honestly been an exciting experience. The bike looks aggressive, feels premium, and the road presence is simply amazing. Wherever I park it, people notice it.
The biggest highlight is the performance. The engine is punchy, the throttle response is quick, and the bike feels incredibly stable even at higher speeds. Overtakes are effortless, and the riding dynamics make every ride feel engaging and fun. Whether it’s city traffic or open highways, the bike delivers a thrilling experience.
Yes, the mileage is on the lower side at around 20 kmpl, but honestly, this bike isn’t meant to be about fuel efficiency — it’s about the joy of riding. And in that department, it absolutely shines.
The handling, braking, and overall ride quality give a lot of confidence, making it perfect for riders who love performance and sporty riding.
Overall: If you want a powerful, fun-to-ride street bike with strong road presence and exciting performance, the NS400 is totally worth it.

About the Reviewer

recently got the Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z and my overall experience has been amazing so far. The bike looks aggressive and modern, and it definitely grabs attention on the road. The performance is the highlight – the engine feels powerful and smooth, whether riding in the city or on the highway. Acceleration is strong and the bike feels stable even at higher speeds.
The riding posture is comfortable for daily use, and the handling gives a lot of confidence while cornering. Brakes work well and the overall build quality feels solid for the price. Mileage is reasonable considering the performance this bike offers.
In terms of maintenance, service from Bajaj has been decent and parts are easily available. If you want a powerful bike with sporty looks and good features without spending too much, the NS400Z is a great choice.
Pros: Powerful engine, great looks, value for money
Cons: Slight vibrations at high RPM, average mileage

It is a Good bike with the worst service centre.. useless design is especially back tyre suspension and mudguard .... My back suspension is getting sound because of the worst mudguard... Especially vibration and the heat is literally bad.. petrol tank is useless. This 400cc mission doesn't have 14 litre petrol tank also every 200 or 150 km we have to search for a petrol pump, literally the worst and the exhaust which is given in the town

The buying experience was good. The looks are great, especially the red one. Bajaj should have provided a matte finish. The engine is heating a lot and vibrations are felt even at 30-40 speed. Hope it gets resolved as the bike ages. The pickup is great and the display is also great. Will not recommend it for daily commutes.

1. Buying experience - Perfect!! My buying experience was very good. I bought it from Pratham Bajaj Thane. Staff was very cooperative. They gave me all insights of bike. Test ride arrangement was nice. Delivery arrangement was amazing. 5/5
2. Riding experience -
This is the only reason why I have given 1 rating to this bike. Because at the end riding is what matters. Looks, features, style all are secondary.
Bikes I have driven so far are Caliber 115 (hoodi baba - 80k km), Pulsar 150 (40k km), Avenger 220 (1k km), Pulsar 220 3k km), Dominar 400 (500km). I am a huge bajaj fan. But this is worst bike ever.
Issue no 1 - Bbalancing and this is key. When you ride any bike, balancing is the most important factor. On ns400z once you go above 40kmph speed, bike tilts towards right and handle vibrates a little. Due to this bike shifts to left. Very risky for such a powerful bike. You cant even overtake another bike or car with confidence. There is risk of shifting an hitting another vehicle. And what is the use of such power if you cant go on high speeds. On all other bajaj bikes never faced this issue. Drove pulsar 150 for 40000km. I took pulsar 150 to a speed of 110kmph on Mumbai Pune Highway. Never ever faced this issue. I have read a lot of reviews before buying this bike. Now i feel that all those are paid reviews where people say that bike has sweet spot on 100kmph.
This bike is not meant for highway. Even one strong air breeze can shift bike completely. Even lesser weighing bikes like caliber and Pulsar 150 stick to the road on highways.
Next its ergonimcs, very uncomfortable seat, stiff suspension, seating position. not even 1 star. ZERO star. if you want a Bajaj bike go for dominar but don't go for ns400.
I am not sure whether its an initial problem. but the bike gets hot. i mean super. in traffic it gets so hot that even tank starts to get heat up. cant ride this bike with shorts. Cant ride in city due to heat, cant ride on highways due to stability issue.
3. Details about looks, performance etc.
- Looks are obviously good. Thats one of the reason why we fell for this one. for performance you can read riding experience.
4. Servicing and maintenance - Its a new bike 400km drive. No experince so far. But I have good experience with Bajaj service team previously. But soon will give more detail review. Planning to ride this one at least for 5k km before giving up on this bike
5. Pros and Cons
Pros - looks, cheap cost, fancy dashboard, Bluetooth settings, etc
Cons - Worst ride quality ever. Cant ride in city due to heat, cant ride on highways due to stability issue.
Fuel meter is faulty. Bike has 12 ltr tank. after you finish 6 ltr it starts giving low fuel warning. no way to know how much fuel is remaining. you have to judge by yourself. 30 kmpl mileage and then calculate every time you refuel

How about owning a machine that never runs out of power? What if you don’t have to worry much about your diet? What if you have made an expensive purchase and don’t have to regret it later? I don’t know what others feel but for all these questions mentioned above, I have the answers lying in my gut. After more than one and a half years of owning the mighty NS 400, I don’t think I have made a mistake. Instead, I see the NS400 becoming more mature and adaptable, as a child does in its lifetime. With a respectable and worry-free 10,500+ kilometres I personally feel the D 400 is the best example of superior engineering which is “Made in India’.
