Maxabout has posted images of the production Bajaj Pulsar CS400, however, the badge under the pillion seat reveals that the motorcycle will be called Bajaj Pulsar VS 400. The naming could be a strategy to integrate the motorcycle under the 'V' brand which currently features the Bajaj V15.

This is the same engine that powers the KTM Duke 390, and is a single-cylinder unit developing 43.5 PS on the Austrian bike. On the Pulsar VS 400 however, the document reveals a power output of 25.74 kW (34.51 hp) at 8,000 rpm and a gross vehicle weight of 332 kg.
