First showcased at the 2014 Auto Expo, the Bajaj Pulsar CS400 is still on the charts as one of the most anticipated motorcycles in India. The latest report suggests that the bike will make its market entry by mid-2016 and that the company has already started testing it on the Indian tarmac. Its fully camouflaged test mule has been spotted recently, which gives a glimpse of its production version.
The styling of the production version has been kept quite similar to the CS400 concept model and the attractive twin digital console is still on the bike- one on its flatter handlebar and the other on the masculine fuel tank. As the headlight is too bright in the spy shots, we can't say whether the aggressive multi-unit headlamp has been replaced or not. The most noticeable change is the front forks, which are now the regular telescopic type instead of the inverted versions.
With an ergonomic design and a comfortable contoured seat, the sport cruiser Pulsar will be a first-of-its-kind Indian machine and will start a new segment in the country. Not many manufacturers across the world offer such bikes and that too in the high-performance segment peopled by the likes of the Ducati Diavel and the Yamaha Vmax.
The upcoming Bajaj Pulsar CS400 will be powered by a liquid-cooled engine, displacing around 375cc. Again, the company will adapt the powertrain configuration from the 390cc KTMs, which are manufactured at Bajaj's facility in Chakan. The bike will also feature a rear monoshock, front and rear disc brakes, and Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), which will make it more comfortable and safe for long rides.
The Pulsar CS400 is expected to be priced between Rs. 1.5 and 1.7 lakh, which will be quite competitive. Although the bike will be the solo player in its segment, it can affect the market of offerings such as KTM 390 Duke, Honda CBR 250R and Royal Enfield motorcycles.

Bajaj Dominar 400 (2016-2018) User Reviews
I have been riding this bike for more then 6 years and have convered over 80000 km. The ABS has saved me many times and gives me a lot of condidence on the road. The maintenance cost os very low compared to bikes like the KTM 390 and others in the same segment and its east to find spare parts anywhere in Mumbai. When I decided to purchase this bike back in 2017 it was the best value for money option available and I have never regretted that decision to this day.Read More
I really liked my bike it has a great performance never had an issue. As I'm shifted to Aurangabad I have to sell my bike
The bike is very powerful with good pickup, suitable for long-distance rides or tours. It's very durable.
An excellent bike that I purchased, I am very much satisfied with this bike. The Bajaj Dominar 400 is highly recommended cruiser in the touring segment. It has good riding comfort in any kind of climate, and in terms of mileage, I can't compare it with any of these segment bikes. I am getting 29kmpl in city and 36kmpl on highway mileage.Read More
It is a good bike with better mileage. It is the best safety packed feature. The powerful engine matted with a 5-speed gearbox and slipper clutch, dual-channel ABS and DRL adds to the gross feature.Read More
