Test mules of the upcoming Bajaj Pulsar CS400 have been spied on more than one occasion as the company gets ready to launch the bike in India.
A few days ago, a Yamaha R15 rider tried to play catch up with the Bajaj Pulsar CS400. This time around, a Duke 200 rider tries to do the same. Though there is no comparison between the two, one is powered by a 200 cc and the other is powered by an almost 400 cc mill. But it is interesting to note how efficiently the Pulsar 400 leaps forward.
