Personal Experience from a daily rider
i bought this bike in 2023 i basically bought this bike for looks and performance, i'd say if you looking for a bike that fall under 1.50 lakhs, daily commute and for the looks i should recommended you go for this bike but if you want performance i'd say check others bikes this bike's performance is neither good nor bad, riding comfort i'd say for riding its good but not for pillion, mileage its good its giving me 51 kmpl but keep it in mind it having a common problem almost in all N160 is engine check light to remove engine check light you need to go to service centre and get done your sensor update and last thing the maintenance cost its also very budget friendly, if you ask should i buy this bike, definitely if you want mileage and looks.

Ultimate Performance Bike
I am a bike enthusiast. This bike is better than Dominor 400. It is light weight and accelerates faster than any Bajaj Bike.It is a powerful and feature-packed motorcycle with a sleek design, smooth performance, and robust braking. If you are looking for a sporty all performance bike look no further. This one ticks all the boxes.

Long run with a BAJAJ Pulsar NS400Z
I'm here with a long run with this bike I brought it one month ago and it is performing pretty well I have tried both long ride and a city commute Fuel efficiency is pretty good in highway around 33-35kmpl but give average of only 20- 23 in city run. Coming to performance it is a beast , but breaking is not upto it's power Overall comparison with other bikes in the segment it is value for money machine
