Bajaj Pulsar N160 On-Road Price in Pune: Full Breakdown (2026)

The on-road price of Bajaj Pulsar N160 in Pune, Maharashtra is ₹1,43,501. This is the amount you'll actually pay at the dealership - it's higher than the ex-showroom figure you see advertised because it includes mandatory government and insurance charges.

Here's exactly how that ₹1,43,501 breaks down:

Ex-Showroom Price: ₹1,16,501 This is the base price of the Bajaj Pulsar N160 in Pune, set by Bajaj and consistent across authorised dealers in Maharashtra. It includes the cost of the motorcycle, GST, and dealer margin.

Road Tax (RTO): ₹12,815 Road tax in Maharashtra is charged at 11% of the ex-showroom price. This is a one-time payment made to the Regional Transport Office when you register the bike. RTO rates vary by state - Maharashtra riders pay 11%, which explains why on-road prices for the same bike differ across cities.

Insurance: ₹10,685 All new bikes in India require mandatory third-party (TP) insurance of ₹7,365 plus own-damage (OD) cover of ₹3,320 for the first year. TP insurance is government-regulated and fixed; OD premiums vary slightly by insurer.

Other Charges: ₹3,500 This covers dealer handling and logistics charges - typically a fixed Rs 3,500 for most bikes in the segment.

Total On-Road Price: ₹1,43,501

This is for the base Pulsar N160 variant. Higher variants (Dual Channel USD at Rs 1,24,045 and the top-spec at Rs 1,28,994) will have proportionally higher on-road prices in Pune due to the larger ex-showroom base. The RTO percentage of 11% and insurance rates remain the same across all variants.

If you're financing the purchase, factor in EMI on the on-road price: with a 20% down payment and a 36-month loan at 9-10% interest, the monthly EMI for the base variant works out to approximately Rs 3,200-3,500.
