It has long been rumoured that the company is busy preparing 373cc offerings that would share the engine with the Dominar, which, in turn, comes with a version of the single-cylinder motor you get on the Duke 390. But now, it’s for the first time that test mules of the speculated Bajaj Pulsar have been seen undergoing road tests. From the looks of it, these motorcycles will look much like the N250 and F250 but would carry a bigger engine and, possibly, wider tires. Also, they would be positioned close to the Dominar 400, which will continue to be the most expensive product in Bajaj Auto’s lineup.
The Bajaj Pulsar N400 and F400 will be related to the KTM 390 Duke like the N250 and F250 are related to the 250 Duke. The Pulsar 400 range has been rumoured to be in the works for many years now. With the kind of brand recall that the Pulsar range enjoys across many segments of the market, it’s only obvious that the motorcycle manufacturer should finally release the 400cc model. While it might bring in the kind of volumes that sub-250cc models have managed, it will still make for an excellent halo product in the company’s portfolio.
