Aprilia SXR 160 vs Yamaha MT 15 V2.0

Question 1

Q. Aprilia SRX 125 vs Aprilia SRX 160 which one is best for daily commuting monthly usage 200km?

Answer

Both are good in their forte. Aprilia SXR 125 is a feature-rich scooter and comes with a digital instrument cluster, LED illumination, alloy wheels, USB port, combined braking system, etc. If you were wowed by the Aprilia SXR 160’s Italian flair but dejected by its hefty price tag, then the SXR 125 could be an ideal pick. Arguably, the SXR grabs. On the other hand, Aprilia SXR 160 if you want something that is big, comfy and feature-loaded, you could save a huge chunk of money and get the Suzuki Burgman Street 125 instead. The only reason why you would want to get this scooter then is to have an Aprilia in your garage--and even then it isn’t the most cost-conscious way to go about it. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

Question 2

Q. What should I buy between Yamaha MT 15 V2 and R15S?

Answer

MT 15 V2 bike

Answer

Both the bikes are good in their forte. The updates as expected have made the new MT-15 a better bike. It looks more premium, handles better and the addition of a few new features is welcome. But we were expecting more from Yamaha! The dullness of the engine is disappointing and the lack of dual-channel ABS is just beyond any reasoning with this performance on tap. As for goodies such as a quick-shifter and traction control, they should have been offered as part of a premium variant. On the other hand, the Yamaha R15S remains one potent small-capacity supersport for beginners. In its version 3.0 guise, it has become sharper and more focused, making it great for sport riding or trac enthusiasts. However, the aggressive riding stance could cause discomfort if you intend to use the bike for daily commuting and the quality of components have also gone down. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort. Click on the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

Question 3

Q. Which bike is the best between, Yamaha MT-15 Version 2.0 or KTM 200 Duke?

Answer

Both the bikes are good in their forte. The design update has given the KTM 200 Duke a new lease of life. Also, the fact that the new BS6-compliant motor does not lose out on performance almost makes it feel like a win-win. That said, the substantial hike in price means it is now more expensive than larger motorcycles such as the Suzuki Gixxer 250. However, when it comes to thrills, the KTM 200 Duke delivers it in spades! On the other hand, The updates as expected have made the new MT-15 a better bike.

Question 4

Q. How does Aprilia SXR 160 and Burgman compete?

Answer

Selecting the right scooter would depend on several factors such as your budget preference, features required, cabin space, engine options, brand preference, etc. If you’re in the market for a sporty, premium, and ‘hatke’ scooter, the SXR 160 could be the one to pick. However, it is one of the most expensive scooters on sale, and given its performance and features and we don’t think it justifies the premium pricing. If you’re in the market for a maxi-style scooter, our suggestion will be to opt for the Suzuki Burgman Street as it offers more space, comfort, and fuel efficiency while being significantly more affordable.

Question 5

Q. What is the difference between Suzuki Burgman Street and Aprilia SXR 160E? Specially boot space & seating capacity.

Answer

If you’re in the market for a maxi-style scooter, our suggestion will be to opt for the Suzuki Burgman Street as it offers more space, comfort and fuel efficiency while being significantly more affordable. Even if we keep the price aspect aside, the Aprilia SXR 160 misses out on the basic ethos of a maxi-scooter, which is comfort and space!
