Bajaj Pulsar N160 on-road price in Chennai
₹1.45 Lakh estimated on-road for the base variant, against ₹1.22 Lakh ex-showroom.
The Bajaj Pulsar N160 costs an estimated ₹1,45,000 on the road in Chennai for the base Single Channel ABS variant. That is ₹23,000 over the ₹1,22,000 ex-showroom price, made up of ₹12,200 in Tamil Nadu road tax at 10%, ₹1,200 in registration charges and about ₹9,565 in first-year insurance.
That is ₹2,600 more than in Delhi, almost entirely because of the difference in state road tax.
With petrol at ₹100.80 in Chennai and a real-world 41.5 kmpl, fuel comes to about ₹2.43 per km, or ₹1,895 a month at 30 km a day. Heavy traffic will push mileage to the lower end of the real-world band.
