Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which bike is better, Unicorn or Raider?
  • Both the bikes are good in their forte. The Honda Unicorn has always been the go-to bike if you were planning to buy a 150cc commuter. The BS6 update has given the bike a larger motor while retaining the dynamics of the older bike. It still remains a well-rounded motorcycle, but the BS6 update has come with a hefty price hike. On the other hand, TVS’ has certainly come back to the 125cc segment with a bang with the Raider. It’s fun to ride, feature-packed, feels rather premium and is well priced too. It is definitely one of the most well-rounded offerings in the 125cc space. 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.Read more -TVS Raider 125 First Ride Review.
Q. Which would be a better choice between Hero Passion Pro and Hero Glamour
  • Selecting the right bike would depend on several factors such as your budget preference on the segment, features required, engine options, brand preference, etc. The BS6 Passion Pro is a strong contender in the 110cc space.

This Passion Pro engine generates a power of 9.15 PS @ 7500 rpm and a torque of 9.89 Nm @ 5000 rpm. On the other hand, Hero has done well to keep the Glamour BS6’s pricing in check during the BS4 to BS6 transition given the fact that the BS4 Glamour already had Fi. With the new pricing, the Hero is still one of the expensive 125cc motorcycles out there but it undercuts the Honda SP 125 by around Rs 5,000. However, in the company of the similarly priced but more powerful Bajaj Pulsar 125, the Glamour BS6 feels dated and less desirable. Hero Glamour is powered by a 125 cc engine. This Glamour engine generates a power of 10.87 PS @ 7500 rpm and a torque of 10.6 Nm @ 6000 rpm. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision.
