Bajaj targetting the aspiring middle class Indian. You may not be attracted by the design, but this will sell because of its competative price. 1.85 lacs is a steal deal.
Am happy india is becoming east asia in terms of biking culture, evolution from 200cc to 400cc standard.

I don't care about all those controversies and discussions around the Bajaj brand or the Pulsar brand, I just see this as a great value for money motorcycle. As Rishad said you are getting "a lot of motorcycle" for this price. At the end of the day it's a great great value for money overall package which you can't ignore. It has got everything you need. From my perspective, whatever I wanted the bike has got it and even more.
It looks best it white! Really impressed by the package Bajaj is offering here.

It's not the fact that it's bad... It's the fact that such a big step for the Pulsar brand comes with very minimal changes in design to establish it as the beast of a machine that it really is (according to the price point)... Moreover, the little changes that are there, are not exactly eye candy. Maybe it's a matter of taste, but the headlight design is pretty weird I'd say. It's neither fully NS, nor N and not even a great mixture of both either... It's not super ugly or anything, just not something we'd expect from Bajaj given its past designs, and given the fact that it's such a big step for the whole company, and most definitely the Pulsar brand

May be because dominor engine is a successful engine.. u know.. sometimes, the brand reaches a point where they have done their best for a 400cc or any cc.. if u see Honda IVTEC, instead of changing, they made sure all the customer reviews are addressed and after years, now IVTEC has reached the saturation point, u knownryt, the best refined engine.. same goes to the engine with the RE 650s have, well refined, no need of twerking at all.. similarly Bajaj also had DTSI which was well balanced untill BS4 when Fuel Injection became a mandate.. since then, after all the research and reviews, the 373cc is the saturation point of Bajaj. Yes it's shared with KTM but that's okay, that's their limit. Now the next big thing would be NS400 facelift next year of May be in 2026 when they will introduce NS400Z with the 399cc engine which Dukes have now.. so a Dominor and NS400 facelift in 2026 is most likely.. this one that we see today is just a mere stock clearance of the 373cc engines which were leftout for Dominor whose sales have dropped tremendously.. Just business..

Looks may be subjective but for the price the feature list is really commendable. At this price one instead of getting R15 or any other 250cc bikes one can get a 400cc motorcycle which uses a reliable and proven engine. All the necessary electronic electronics are there, the chassis is better compared to the counterparts. I hope the specs sheets translate to a fun riding experience in the real world as well.

No man, automatic - and motorcycles - somehow the idea doesn't gel too well....There is something charming about using the clutch, gear, learning clutchless up/downshifts through rev-matching and so on... There are a few bikes like Africa Twin which has DCT transmission as one of the options - but any real rider who loves motorcycles would want to learn the ability of using gears to the fullest on his or her own rather than some system doing it for you!! For convenient short commute, there are always scooters!

The red looks the best because whatever design it has gets hidden with black colour
Any update on New Dominar from Bajaj team?
Ihv used a dominar for 4 years. It was a wonderful bike for touring...fast as well. This bike 19kgs lighter with a aggressive mapping will definitely be a good bike. People complaining about Bajaj can keep complaining but for that price it's a steal!
Hey Autocar, RS400 is on cards if Im not wrong?
This white and red looks really nice

Waiting for the Adventure bike, NS400X maybe, based on this one. Hopefully with a 19 inch front wheel, higher ground clearance, longer wheelbase, tank capacity of 15 litres and a redesigned light.
The weight that the dominar should have always been . We have got to thank Anand Bajaj for never backing down from making an Indian version of what a sports bike should be and he has finally got a pulsar family design. Hope they have a nice RS version.

Could somebody tell me how much is it but in dollars?
Pricing is really good but this comes at the cost of a bike that was originally designed 10 years ago. Changes at headlight & forks does look when viewed from head-on but sides & rear still reminds of 10 year old NS200. To put more salt the KTM sister bike had 3 whole generation changes while NS200 still stuck with that same gen1 designed, which now NS400 gets. Those who on budget or value conscious will definitely be attracted to this, but to me this is still a 10 year old outdated design to the core. PS: the should have changed the box swingarm with cast ones, would have made the rear part look fresher.
I get it , budget friendly and vfm but irrespective of price a bike should look pleasing and attractive in my opinion !
