After growing tired of my trusty Royal Enfield Bullet 350, I opted for the more powerful Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z, seeking a boost in performance and excitement on the roads.

The author purchased a Bajaj NS400Z and was aiming for a fuel efficiency of 25-30 kmpl, but was surprised to find that it reached 40 kmpl while riding slowly on the highway between 60-80 km/h. The author shares their experience of being a solo rider and has never been part of a riding community. They also mention their previous experiences with other bikes, including the Honda Shine and the classic Bullet. The author sought a bike that could achieve both speed and retro charm, and after considering various options, settled on the NS400Z due to its affordability and performance. Despite some initial concerns about its tires and brakes, the author has been pleased with the bike’s performance, particularly at higher speeds. They appreciate the bike’s sturdy build and flickable nature, making it suitable for both city and highway rides. The author concludes that the NS400Z is a great option for commuters who value fuel efficiency, and thanks Bajaj for making the bike accessible at a reasonable price in a market dominated by foreign brands.
