        Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z is a solid bike that's good enough for everyday riding. While it could offer better comfort and improved parts availability at workshops and showrooms, it still stands out for its performance and value in the price segment. A great choice if you're looking for a powerful commuter bike.

        Very nice and decent looks. It feels made for speed with an authentic and aesthetic design. The features are also great, and it comes with four riding modes including Sport Mode. This bike is definitely worth it.

        I already own the NS 160 and now I'm planning to go for the NS 400. Even though the Bajaj engine hasn’t been very reliable for me — it seized three times in the last 7 years — I still want to stick with Bajaj. There’s something about their bikes that keeps me interested, and I’m hopeful for better performance with the next one.
