Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z Price in Bhuban

I had recently visited a Bajaj showroom to test ride the NS400Z and my initial impressions were good of the bike and how it has been put together by Bajaj.
A few days back a friend of mine came with his new bike to show me and it was a NS400Z, thus got more time to spend with the bike trying to understand what it actually offered so here is my take on the NS400Z:
1. "VALUE FOR MONEY" is the game that Bajaj is trying to play with its latest flagship product,the bike I feel is strictly made for people who want the 400cc engine but do not want to spend as much as a Duke 390 or the Triumph 400's or even the Dominar 400.
2. The Dominar sourced engine is a very reliable and tested one and the state of tune that it's running in the NS is what makes it so appealing,you just have to open the throttle and the bike goes also to mention the sweet-sounding exhaust note that just puts a smile on your face every time you are pushing the bike to the redline.
3. The design is where I feel the NS is lacking and Bajaj could have given a fresh tail section to the bike. The DRLs look good but the overall design appeal is not that great. There certainly are better-looking bikes in the market at the same price point.
4. All of this,if looked at in isolation makes the NS a great motorcycle which it certainly is but when you factor in the other options available in the market in the 400cc segment, like the KTMs, the Maverick 440, the Harley Davidson X440, the Triumph 400s, the Husqvarnas, Jawa's/Royal Enfield's new lineup of bikes and also the TVS RR310 and RTR 310, the Pulsar just does not stand out. Among a sea of far better motorcycles, the only thing going the way of the NS is it's ₹184000, Ex-Showroom price which makes it a whole lot cheaper than the competition it has.
All in all, what I think of the NS400Z is that it is a very good motorcycle in isolation but doesn't stand a chance against any of it's 400cc rivals and you should only buy one if you just can't spend more than the NS because you can't ride value for money for too long and someday or the other you'll understand what that means.

After purchasing the bike needs to be serviced more than 5th time in a single month, though getting the same problems like jerking, pickup and start-up problems. After all this ASM raises his hand that he can't do anything. Don't buy Bajaj Bikes.

This bike has good cc which I can afford. I have seen many pulsar bikes and the bike looks more awesome than the rest of the bikes but one thing that I don't like is less mileage. if there is the possibility of increasing mileage then this will be better because petrol price is increasing and many of them will not be able to afford so please fix it.
