Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which bike is best between, Dominar or Pulsar N250?
  • N250 for budget ,mileage, cheaper maintainance D250 for long distance touring ,dual channel abs
  • Both the bikes are good in their forte. Apart from its accessible price tag, the Dominar 250 does one thing right -- it is fit to purpose. The 250cc motor may feel boring on the KTM, but it works beautifully on the Dominar especially when you combine it with its comfortable touring ergonomics. It truly deserves the ‘sports tourer’ tag. So while Bajaj might pitch it as the entry-level Dominar, we think the 250 is the Dominar in its perfect form. On the other hand, with a powerful motor and comfortable ride quality, the Pulsar N250 is a good option in the 250cc, but the Pulsar NS200 is cheaper and offers better tech. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision.

Q. For riding in Chennai City r15v3 is good or Thunderbird 350X?
  • R15v3
  • It's Simple Yamaha R15 V3 is best in Chennai City
  • The R15 has always had a singular focus. Performance. That leads to compromise in other aspects like ergonomics. Its sporty riding position comes courtesy of an 815mm high rider seat (up by 15mm over the v2). Despite the taller seat, we did not have an issue placing both feet on the ground. The riding position has become more aggressive and while it worked well on the track, riding in the city for an extended period did leave a minor discomfort in our wrists and upper back. Other than the clip-on, which now feels lower, the low-set footpegs are comfortable and the rest of the bike too didn't give us any reason to complain. You do need to be careful while taking U-turns though as the bars come pretty close to the fuel tank, and your hand getting too close to your knee during full lock does cause some issues. Especially on right-hand U-turns, it’s rather difficult to open the throttle as your wrist is resting on the tank at full lock. On the other hand, the Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350X has been discontinued and is not available for sale in the market. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and riding comfort. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.Read more:- Yamaha R15 v3.0 Road Test Review
Q. I'm confused between NS200 and the Dominar 250. Looking for a bike for city and touring use. Thinking about NS200 because it matches my power needs in a bike but in comfort the Dominar always wins. Any review on this would help. Just not sure about the comfort of NS 200.
  • The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 was always seen as an affordable alternative if you were in the market for a sporty streetfighter. As for the comfort, right from the moment you sit on it and reach for the bars, you get a lovely sense of command over the motorcycle. The seat cushioning is firm but absorbent, the texture is grippy and the slim tank allows you to straddle the bike more efficiently. Even the taut suspension isn’t that much of a bother. On the other hand, the Dominar 250 offers a good price to power ratio and brilliant ride quality. The 250cc motor may feel boring on the KTM, but it works beautifully on the Dominar especially when you combine it with its comfortable touring ergonomics. It truly deserves the ‘sports tourer’ tag.
