I bought this bike 10 days back and I have tested it in worst and least situation, so far I have driven 520kms and for me it gave tank to tank mileage around 29kmpl. By the way I drive this bike in Bangalore traffic and also took it on highway for 200kms. You know Bangalore traffic is the worst and it gave more than 27kmpl in peak traffic.
I'm from Bangalore too, so I can understand the traffic scene. See this is a 40bhp machine, if we ride it like a 20 bhp machine, shift gears precisely and not rev too much, you'll get the mileage you're getting. But the moment you open the throttle a bit and try to enjoy the power on tap, efficiency will drop rapidly. KTM engines are not known to be fuel efficient, but they manage because of their low weight. These bikes with the same engine are heavier, so it will be difficult to squeeze out mileage from them. Keep your mind prepared for a long term 25kmpl and enjoy the bike, don't care about shift rpms, just have fun. Otherwise don't buy 400cc 40bhp machines for city traffic, commuter bikes are much much better for that. I'm not targeting you my friend, just the topic of this thread
This is the worst ever review I've seen on the whole of UA-cam. Everyone and i say everyone has spoken so highly about this bike. Yes i understand there may be some flaws but those are negligible. In this sad review of yours every point you made only has hatred towards the bike. This bike is not meant for your 100kg gunnysack. Go get a foreign bike for yourself.
The bit about the Pulsar is that it doesn't have flaws bit it doesn't have greats as well. Remember the 180 DTS-i? The 220F? The NS200? They had a lot of great bits and some major drawbacks. But still, there was much to love. This Pulsar sadly doesn't have those feelings. The Triumph Speed 400 also isn't a wow motorcycle in totality but what it is meant for, it does brilliantly well: make the British brand accessible without compromising on core beliefs. The Pulsar core belief from 2000s sadly is no longer there in 2024.
@@ackodrive Your contradicting your own statement buddy. You say the 180, 220, NS200 etc they had great bits and also you say they had some major drawbacks then what's the point. You say the early 2000's pulsars were good but I guess u didn't ride the CBZ or the Karizma which were way better. In my honest opinion early Pulsars were crappy. Only after merging with KTM is when pulsars have evolved. The new generation Pulsars are really the best and trust me this is coming from a Honda fanboy. I used to always love Honda bikes but this Pulsar NS400Z has really changed the way I've been thinking. For this price point this bike has everything above and beyond. Hence they call it the pocket friendly rocket. 😃🚀
Btw I sold my brand new RS200 bs3 after using it for 3 years just to buy a pre-owned CBR 250R bs3 non abs which I then used for 5 years. I recently sold my CBR to buy a new bike and guess which. 😃
@@ackodriveStongly agree! Owning N160, it has a lot to offer on paper but doesn't implement any of those perfectly. My observations on n160: 1. Made for commuting but stock seats are uncomfortable 2. Design is sporty but Engine is long stroke and is tuned to produce low end torque 3. Made for commuting but engine don't want idle properly, need to rev in bumper to bumper traffic to keep it running 4. city oriented bike with long turning radius🤦♂️ list goes on and on... Bajaj need decide what they need to make first, if one has to design a bike for commuting with long stroke engine why the hell it has uncomfortable seats and sporty look and sporty handle bar position? Same goes with updating also n160 got 3 updates in last 6-7 months One with removal of dtsi, second is addition of digital display, third with USD and Navigate supported digital console and removing oil cooler. What the hell is going on is IDK Then comes trellis frame on Freedom😂 It's already at around 145kg and why you want to save kilos by going trellis frame maybe because of CNG tank they went I guess coz of safety reasons.
Brother gave a review like he already hated NS400Z before it even launched. A mileage of 22KMPL when riding between 50-55KMPH? I hope you didn't mean Miles/hr and mistakenly put kmph. Maybe you really did feel those are flaws but maybe you were comparing it with bikes pricing around 3.5-4L. You started comparing it with the likes of MT15 and easily transitioned to D390 2024. Did you compare D390 with MT15 too?
These new youtube channels I think somehow are trying to be different to just get more views or subscriber count by sounding different and critical (probably by following motorinc formula but with their own self created bias). It's best to take test ride and decide.
Problems with some of these reviewers are they always praise foreign manufacturers. Maybe they are sponsored to do so. But when you are sponsored, have the gut to declare that. Pulsar is different breed, and cannot be compared directly with other overpriced and overrated bikes. Pulsar is solid, stellar, affordable, reliable and is filled with Indian DNA. No one can beat that! Down with @ackodrive
Bhai itni kamiyan nikalne se pehele price bhi dekhlo, KTM or Triumph se compare kar rhe ho to unka price bhi compare karlo. Mujhe ye bike next month khareedni hai isliye maine almost saari videos dekhin youtube pe and jitna tum kumiyan nikal rhe ho utna to puri youtube community pe kisine nahi nikala. Mai test drive leke dekhi, iski bhi and duke ki bhi and triumph ki bhi. Triumph se zyada maza isko chalane mein aaya mujhe. To mai aapse sehemat nahi hoon sorry.
Mileage is best in this segment,,,price is so great in this segment,,,technology is best in this segment,,, overall this bike is best bike,,,don't listen negative things ,,,,

I kind of liked the review as much as it is important to point out the positives its also becomes important to point out the negative because it is the consumer who will be living with the product so as a consumer it is important to know what i m getting myself into whether i m willing to accept the shortcomings and live with the product or not but the most important is to take a test ride
I own the same bike and have a different perspective. Living in Bangalore, I find the bike gives me about 25 kmpl in the city and 32 kmpl on the highway. I consistently feel the thrill of pushing the bike, as if it's encouraging me to twist the throttle and rev it up. While I agree that the tires aren't the best in rainy conditions, considering the price, it's a reasonable trade-off. I believe different experiences can shape our views, and it's important to share them all.
No bike can make good fuel mileage figues at speeds around 100-110 kmph.. riding especially in the city and highway cruising Is not sensible above 90 kmph.. not a pulsar fan but currently owning 5 motorcycles from 3 different brands taught me the sensible speeds to get the best from a litre of fuel.. you want to do 100-110 kmph, head to the track and have fun... Nothing of those sorts should be tried on the streets.
Are you a hater or something bro 😢 19kmpl really ????? Cmon I was planning to buy this then between confused between this and vstorm 250, now it seems i have only one choice
It won't affect the mileage, the engine is a dohc setup which consumes more fuel as compared to sohc because dohc gives better top end and revs higher easily. Shift gears timely and you will see a fuel economy of 32 or 33.
This is what indian audience is they cant even bear a word of criticism of their buy or what they love. Bajaj is looking for money not for product any more , prime example is their launch and then hate moment with f250.
Don't know why people are hating on the review- he has pointed out valid issues with the bike while highlighting its better aspects. While everything can be justified by saying "you're only paying 1.85L", end of the day like Shumi said on his review, you can't ride value.
You can because price is the most imp factor. Shumi is an idiot flying high in the air bro hasn't been on the Earth for years. He isn't a consumer anymore he's an out of touch journo. Only an idiot will criticize this bike this much, sensible people will have fun @1.85L.

@@jdnaveen321 bro dont listen to them. They are kinda haters.
We do our runs and have GPS tracking for them all. And yet there was no beating the poor efficiency score.
And the two bikes on your radar are very different. Test ride both and decide what suits your needs better.
@@ackodrive some other reviews also mentioned 22kmpl so, you guys are not alone
Vstrom 250 is a better tourer for sure. Much better mileage too
Maybe switching to the Dominar's smaller rear sprocket will solve the fuel eff issues. Bajaj really messed up by putting the larger rear sprocket.
It won't affect the mileage, the engine is a dohc setup which consumes more fuel as compared to sohc because dohc gives better top end and revs higher easily. Shift gears timely and you will see a fuel economy of 32 or 33.
