The Pulsar NS400Z’s aggressive pricing allows it to compete with motorcycles that sit four segments below it.

Bajaj’s latest Pulsar has an ergonomic upright seating arrangement and a slightly firm saddle which as I discovered is fairly comfortable even on longer rides. Its suspension effectively absorbs most road imperfections, providing a smooth ride despite the seasonal road conditions.

The rider seat may be firm but does a great job of maintaining comfort

My longest stint on the Pulsar was around 400km and the only discomfort I faced was thanks to the abundant amount of windblast. The lack of wind protection isn’t something one can protest against when buying a streetfighter and an aftermarket flyscreen should provide a partial fix. When riding with a pillion I found that the ground clearance is a little lacking over speed breakers. However, I faced no issues when riding solo, despite the best Mumbai’s monsoon-destroyed roads could throw up.
