Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which one is the best, Bajaj Pulsar 220 F or Yamaha FZS-FI V3?
  • Both bikes are good in their own forte, Bajaj Pulsar 220 F is a popular streetfighter motorcycle among enthusiastic riders and the price is also affordable. The Bajaj Pulsar 220 employs a 220cc single-cylinder air-cooled, fuel-injected engine churning out 20.4PS at 8500rpm and 18.55Nm at 7000rpm. The engine comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox. On the other hand, in terms of features, the FZS-Fi comes with single-channel ABS as standard and chunky tyres. The bike's negative LCD instrument console displays information like the fuel gauge, odometer, two trip meters, F trip, and a clock amongst others. There’s also an ECO indicator that guides riders with throttle modulation to help extract more fuel efficiency from the engine. The Deluxe variant comes with Y-Connect with Bluetooth connectivity which offers features like answer back, locate my vehicle, parking record
  • Fzs is better
  • Pulsar 220F
Q. Confused between, FS-Z Fi V3 and MT-15?
  • Both the bikes are good in their forte. In nearly every aspect, except maybe ergonomics and braking, the Yamaha FZS-FI v3.0 fails to impress. While its motor offers better fuel efficiency compared to the previous-gen model, it lacks grunt. If you have around Rs 1 lakh to invest, you're better off with say a TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Bajaj Pulsar NS 160 or the Suzuki Gixxer. Whereas, the Yamaha MT 15 BS6 is more than just the R15 v3 sans fairing. The naked looks sharp is light and can be a hoot to commute. However, the compact riding posture might be a bit too tight for large riders. What is also disheartening is the poor switchgear and build quality as well as the lack of dual-channel ABS. 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.
Q. I want to buy bike for daily use with low maintenance. I have two choices, Pulsar 220F or Hornet 2.0. Which is better ?
  • As per your requirements, we would suggest you to go with the Honda Hornet 2.0. With a frugal engine, agreeable ergos, light handling and a comfortable ride, the Hornet makes for a great city bike. If you’re currently riding a 125cc bike and looking for something with more performance to make your commute that much more interesting, but you don’t necessarily want something very sporty with ‘racing DNA’, the Hornet offers a sensible and easy motorcycling experience. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort.
