Sir comes off as an honest guy, which is admirable !
Pricing is absolutely justifiedâŠ.
Great approach by Bajaj
After a long time we are getting actual naked wolves with raw power by Indian motorcycle manufacturer which we have been waiting for and specially going to attract motorheads for sure âŠ
A twin cylinder pulsar 400 would be a dream come true, although the engine should be developed specifically for pulsar as it will increase the respect for the brand.
Yes man
Should have launched it 2 years ago. But we love it nonetheless
Damn this guy is very straight to the point, understands shortcomings of Pulsar brand, knows no one will pay for it as much people would do for ktms or triumphs. However still has ambitions to improve upon. Great honest man.
I love Bajaj Auto. Their bikes are much more reliable and pocket friendly.
Yes, definitely Bajaj should have launched earlier.
There are lot of expectation from Pulsar brand. Keep bringing more of such aspirational Pulsars. Ahead, give us a flagship Pulsar RS400 with full blown specs without caring for the price and higher sales. Let it be the flagship full of character. Let it remain definitely male. Don't dilute the brand with too commuter focused brand. Rather create a separate brand for commuter bikes including the N series. I would prefer to bring back the Caliber brand for commuter
Why no RS 400 yet? Why is Bajaj so slow
Sirji was busy and was desperately trying to counter RE with Dominaar/triumph/ktm/Husky, finally it occurred to him to play the VFM game with Pulsarđ
Pulsar is a good company, good investment.
Lolđ€Ł Pulsar is not a company. It's a brand. Bajaj is a company.
Great move.... little late but great!!!
Now we need a 400CC Avenger as well!!! That would take Bajaj to even greater heights!!
Ekdum chup
@@1719pankaj Huh? What You don't like Avenger or don't want a new model?
@@pratikpatil6816 Dono
@@pratikpatil6816
Avenger is a stupid looking proposition to the point, when they put the 220 mil in that thing, the 220f started reminding me of the Avenger and that's a bad bad thing to be associated with.
I'm sorry if this sounds too rude, you seem like a nice person, but I really dislike everything the Avenger stands for. I may be woefully wrong and but remember as long as you're on 2 wheels you're a brother.
After Ratan Tata, he is an industrialists who holds a stellar persona.
Wow what an amazing and truthful interview.. Really loved Rajiv Bajaj sir â€
damn i feel heard when Mr rajiv speaks...didnt expect that to happen though
But what about RS200 any update, bigger tyres, Design update, displacement?
Pulsar will definitely grow when his grandson Graduates.
How many of you feel that OG round headlamp pulsar needs a Neo retro launch?
As a person working in auto journalism, Im really disheartened with how the NS400Z has turned out to be. I dont wish to go into strategy and business side of things but talking about the motorcycle, I do not understand the point of launching the 400 with the 373cc engine from KTM given the fact that KTM has already launched the Duke 390 with a newer 399cc engine. On the other hand, Bajaj could have used Triumph's engine as well but giving the riders an older generation engine makes little sense to me.
Moving on to design, it is fine that NS400 has a great resemblance to its younger siblings but taking parts straight away from the 200 and putting them on 400 is shambolic. On top of that, Bajaj really needs to work hard on build quality and overall fit and finish. So many products in the portfolio and now the NS400 but none of them offer the feel or experience of a premium motorcycle. Yes, the switch gear on the NS400 looks a bit more premium but overall, the motorcycle still looks like product made for everyone -- if all Bajaj wants is to capture market share, it's fine but despite me owing a Pulsar NS200, I'll never buy the NS400 and rather go for a Duke, Triumph or Himalayan.
In terms of build quality and overall finish, I do not expect Bajaj motorcycles to carry the same finesse as KTMs or Triumph but atleast it could match the Apache 310s, right? The entire portfolio is not even close. It's high time Bajaj should start looking at giving us a motorcycle that will feel premium -- mature riders care about how well a product has been made, not just bigger CC and numbers like hps and NMs. At 1.85, this could be very well the new weapon of choice for the chhapri community.
The moment i saw chappari comment, i understood your journalism credentials. No journalist will go that low. Learn the etiquette of journalism.
@@ArunodoyChaudhuriWell, even one of the greats whose name starts with ShuâŠâŠ. has addressed chhapris as chhapris in one his videos..it is what it is.
Chapri community has ruined one of the best bikes on streets right now, KTM, the urge to not buy KTM is very real, bikes need to be protected from chaprisâ@@ArunodoyChaudhuri
You've mentioned that you don't want to talk about strategy and business side. But that is all these things about, business strategy. You can't make products just because you want to, you have to be strategic. In this case, bajaj's strategy is clearly to capitalize on price to performance value. Nobody will buy a bajaj for the price of a KTM or a Triumph. That's why this bike came out this way. To see what happens when companies release products purely out of enthusiasm, look at the rtr 310. That bike is great on paper, but nobody buys it. Why? Because there are bikes with premium brand names for the same price and with better performance. Namingly KTMs and Triumphs. So there you go.
I agree with you @rohit
Still can't understand why bajaj discontinuedits most popular and bestseller pulsar 220f and why relaunched it.
Cause it was suppressing the sales of other pulsar variants. Honestly the BS 3 and BS 4 220F were absolute monsters. Almost all power was available right from 2500 rpm.
The Indian widow maker it was.
NS200 should be different from NS160 and NS 400 should be different from NS 200
NO Adv250 in Bajaj whereas Suzuki has it.....
Why not dual cylinder CNG 250CC engine.....!
NS 200 is the best design I have seen in a budget bike
I'm worried about the wobbling issues on the new 2024 N250 on high speeds đąđą
#TheWobbleIsReal
Bajaj, kindly do something about it đđœđđœđđœ
Did you check the wheel alignment.
They won't do anything
Likes solid bike a solid & bold leader!
Q. What does Z mean in Ns400z ?
Ans : No answer
DRL ki shape se chipka diya hoga Z đ
Z means zero
Z = Zero emission
Z means for gen z
â@@surya19881988 đđđ
GST taking away more r&d budget đ
Should've asked why Pulsar bike is not seen in motorsport circuit, seen only in StuntMania
Bajaj not interested in motosport
@@Rick-kb motorsport would improve the product and make their engines and other mechanicals more reliable
@@ADabtU rajiv bajaj himself said bajaj not interested in motorsport and their partners already are in motorsport
Headlight Theek Kar Lo
Saari Pulsar Same To Same
Yes, if they have launched 3 months back, then I would buy it. Now I already bought ns200.
A classic bike with round headlamps and modern approach 150 to 200cc avenger is sort ot cruiser
Never been a pulsar fan, but I think I will buy ns400, whatever the rumours are idc. I like what they want to delivery at low prices.
Can't go wrong with it. Known reliable engine, incomparable performance in its price, and Bajaj's wide service chain, you'll be good
Bought my NS200 in 2018. Upgraded to Dominar 400 in 2022. If I knew about NS400 then I would've waited. Will upgrade to Z900 in a few years. I'm not hopeful that bajaj will go into superbikes any time soon. So will have to go for the more expensive option
We want the Bajaj Super Pulsar 1390 R.
đ
Suzuki 250 engine delivers more power and torque than Bajaj N250 engine
Why do not you develop it to 4V with better cooling system to work on CNG for long touring.....
Suzuki is underdog. Boring yet powerful.
@@ShivKamalUpadhaya boring due to its design
@@krishhvlogs5 due to its engine character to be honest . too linear for a sports bike
@@sarthakgawari23 that's out of context.....
Taking about power in 250cc segment.....
With more power and better cooling system,the Bajaj engine can be a cheaper alternative for adventure tourer for Bajaj.....
Can also be used for cruisers....
Rajiv bajaj hats off to you sir
Awesome bike for the price#BajajPulsarđ„đ„đ„
Nice interview đđŒ đđŒ đđŒ đđŒ đđŒ đđŒ đ
my question is why you doing this with NS200 still having 33mm usd, already have that nice gold 37mm usd comes in n160 and n250 with abs modes also 140 rear tyre on n250, on road we paying 10000 more then n250 why there is nothing new on ns200!? like you did yourself post the Instagram story most liked pulsar will get the craziest update!? so changing the headlight and meter is your craziest update!? really confusing what you guys doing same digital console across all the Pulsar 125 to 400cc!?
No innovation đąđąđą
Just headlight change
He said because twin cylinder pulsar coming soon...
Rajiv sir first make the platina engine the pickup is low and cam noise and value noise then speak ok
Humare Bajaj .. Fastest Indianâ€
I own both cheetak and pulser since it inseption in 1983 and 2001.
I have back pain because of pulsar 150 cc. Comfort is compromised for style.
It took a decade for 200 to 400... I expect next big pulser on 2035.
Pulsar ns 400 is new â€
We would like to see a proper cruiser in 400 cc segment as well as a parallel twin in 400 cc pulsar
rs 200 update needed without ruining the design
9:25 but Sir we want one!!
Sir make Avenger with CNG it will become super duper hit in India
I like the ns400z more than the dominar, if i ever bought the bike i would change the rims and the swing arm
Happy to own one
Wanted a 4 cylinder pulsar
Bajaj is just 5-7 year behind of time
i appreciate the trust of the people on bikers đ
Why im getting TVS raider ad đđđ
Sir what about 220F.....?
I want an adventure bike from Bajaj.
They had launched one long ago,didn't work
That was an adv in name onlyâ@@snehasishdev3296
Where is RS 400 ???
Pulsar 220 is legend
We want and Adv tourer with N250cc 4Valve engine with 18ltr fuel tank and cng tank with bigger oil cooler for better cooling.
Why not a under seat 15ltr fuel tank additional to 18ltr fuel tank like in dakar bikes.....
Just think of it.....we are ready to buy......
If its a dominor engine , then gear interval should be changed and managed . The front suspension of pulsars are very poor. The swing arm looks so outdated and cheap it should be changed as well.
Overall this is just assembling different products down the pulsar line. Come on bajaj .....r&d is lacking and it has become stagnant for too long
The Pulsars should get rear radial tyres and N series should get 3 part handle
No new engines for ns 400 is disappointing but atleast bigger tyres đ
Whenever he talks his talks are all focused on mktg and sales type of conversation and never a technical one, hence it is quite prevalent that motorcycles or products made by them are not technically sound
We need a twin cylinder engine motorcycle Bajaj
I'll start taking them seriously, once they stop selling all the ancient pulsar models, including and especially the 220F. They've been stuck on the same model and have been stagnating for the last couple of years. They need to stop listening to the public and start doing their own thing. The public will follow. The funniest part of all of this, is that Royal Enfield has modernised their lineup more than Bajaj has, in the last couple years. I do love Bajaj for the commitment to build quality that they possess, but this stagnation has become impossible to overlook. The biggest mistake was reeling to pressure and bringing back the 220F. Great motorcycle, but it has more than outlived its intended lifespan.
Get a new design please...thank u
Now RS 400 and RS 600
a congresssi
Bajaj bought BJP electoral bond. Will never buy any Bajaj products again.
New pulsar N250 chassis and suspension need Upgrade
Atleast he is not boaring..taking modi to the cleeners
But our beloved Pulsar design does seem boaring đąđą he really destroyed our childhood dream đąđą and messed up the legend's design..
â@@xzee156 see the quality of bikes available in Pakistan...engines are good..honda...but looks ..I like it ..others may not...I have kawasaki w175,reborn,meteor,cb350..I like kawasaki the most...like Mr bean type funny car...
Too let , better options available
copy pasting the same design with the existing engine wont work over time !
Best days of Bikes are over. Now owning a Bike will more like a hobby or aspiration. Necessity to commute has shifted from 2 wheeler to 4 wheeler. Not Surprising ity everywhere as income level increases. Maybe Bajaj starts making cars or just be export oriented company mostly in low value AFRICA
Sounds very similar to my belly...
RS 200 update kar do yaar
Updated RS200 is coming confirmed..
â@@snehasishdev3296 Date yaa month kuchh pata hey kya aap ko?
Bring pulsar 400f faring
Parikshit is miissing out some imp gustions
Nah .. a disappointing bike it was
They should do a 650cc 4cyl
Ask him who designed that shitty looking headlight if he has all the 20000 crores on paper why didn't he have that small simple knowledge and money to invest on that design , people will not like that being the biggest pulsar couldn't he guess it ! .....its easy for him to just ignore but if he is not just a businessman then he would considered that design aspect!
He should hire some good young designers atleast may be, look at the face of ns400, duke390_2024, that bad looking extended Husqvarna who designed that bikes. Is it like whatever the company offer people will buy it, is that a carelessness of RandD team ! Not only just bajaj most of the international brands follow that uni platform but does that mean the outer design should be like that ? Yeah you can get rid of all these by offering less price was this the strategy you had ?
â@@Krish-wc1yz listen his full interview..he is being harassed by modi jee..at 36minute
Its east to talk but in real world scenario things doesnât work like this
Thik hai open your own company and see what's the cost of running the company. Learn finance, read fin statements and Q reports and ceo calls. Invest karna aur 20000cr hai to ye kanna wo karna bolna aasan hai. Mat kharidna bc.
@@ArunodoyChaudhuri yeah sure will open one day !
He is destroying our beloved Pulsar image đą
Comes off as chapri bike now
Just stop making bikes with the difference of just 10 cc displacement
Go and read government regulations about bike engine đ
Do u know how stupid are our govt rules n regulations?
Aand jesa engineer h bajaj ka na to design krna aata h aur nahi engine ko kuch karna jhant jesa bike bana Diya ns 400 kyu ki dominar nahi bik Rahi thi wo lnd sa engine k sath me
Love from đ”đ°
