Bajaj Pulsar NS400: Details
Currently, no official images or spy images of the Pulsar NS400 have been shared online. However, as per the reports, it will most likely be similar to the Pulsar NS200. To differentiate the two models, the company could make it a bit wider and more muscular.
However, the overall look of the naked street fighter is expected to remain the same. As for the mechanical side, Bajaj Auto could equip this motorcycle with the 373cc engine from the KTM Duke 390. This is a powerful liquid-cooled engine that could produce 42 HP of power and 37 Nm of torque.
Currently, the same engine is also offered in the Dominar 400. However, it produces around 39 HP and 35 Nm of torque in this cruiser motorcycle. Most likely, the company could slightly redesign the internal components of this engine.
