Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which is better Kawasaki Ninja 300 or Royal Enfield Bullet 350?
  • Both bikes are good in their own forte, Kawasaki Ninja 300 is one of the most affordable bikes in the market you can buy with a parallel-twin engine. The Ninja 300’s USP was its butter-smooth parallel-twin heart. As expected, Kawasaki has tweaked the same 296cc, parallel-twin engine to meet the BS6 norms. The motor now makes 39PS and 26.1Nm, which is 0.9Nm less than the BS4 Ninja 300. We expect the motor to feel as refined as ever on the go, and more importantly, it’ll be better for the environment too. Despite its age, the 2021 Kawasaki Ninja 300 still remains a formidable supersport offering. On the other, the Royal Enfield Bullet 350 is more than just a motorcycle; it's a piece of motorcycling history. If you're drawn to its classic design, relaxed riding style, and the idea of owning a bike with a strong legacy, the Bullet 350 could be an excellent choice. However, it's essential to acknowledge that it might not match the performance or handling characteristics of more modern motorcycles. 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.
Q. Is this bike worth to buy?
  • Yes

Despite its age, the 2021 Kawasaki Ninja 300 still remains a formidable supersport offering. The baby Ninja has the dynamics of a comfortable tourer with its parallel-twin heart and with a few updates is loads of fun around the twisties or on a track. However, we feel Kawasaki has played it safe by not giving any additional features, which is a bit disappointing given the Rs 20,000 price hike. 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. KTM 125 Duke or Pulsar 125 Neon?
  • Selecting between the KTM 125 Duke and Bajaj Pulsar 125 would depend on certain factors such as your budget, brand preference, features, performance, comfort, etc. The KTM 125 Duke BS6 is the most affordable way into the KTM family. It Service as the perfect stepping stone to performance-oriented motorcycles. The only grouse is you may be able to master the motorcycle rather quickly, and the lack of power means you will be left craving for more performance. On the other hand, the Pulsar 125 Neon gives enthusiasts a taste of the Pulsar’s sporty DNA but in a less intimidating and more affordable package. The 125 Duke retails at Rs. 1.70 Lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), while the price of Pulsar 125 Neon starts at Rs. 77,843 (ex-showroom, Delhi). For a better understanding of performance and comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride. Follow the link and select your city accordingly for dealership details.

    Dark roads 

    Man...... This bike just shines like a star in the top end, it did even defeated the two 400cc category monsters: DUKE 390 and RC390.I use to ride this machine for my daily commute to institution, and some Sunday rides. For a twin-cylinder, it's just smooth as butter, refined but then when you go past 9000rpm, it starts to show its true character. It just puts its all nuts till remarkable 13,500 rpm redline! maintenance is quite expensive because 'obviously, it's a KAWASAKI.' The twisty and curvy roads of Assam is where this bike belongs to. You get just more and more amount of confidence when you start to lean down.It's road presence is like a gem. Anyone can recognise it by its powerful twin halogens which helps me overcome the dark roads.I say, overall, it does do Justice for its price. But just lacks in modern equipments like USD forks, Aluminium swingarm, full digital console. That's on you what you choose, but for me, ninja is the most dominant 300cc supersport bike.

    I am using bike since 2018 

    I am using bike since 2018 ending.This bike is magic.Not once did i think of upgrading or regret buying this bike.Head turning looks, Comfortable riding position, Crisp gear shifts, Easy cruising in the city (for me sixth gear comes in 30-35 speeds), Butter smooth engine that comes to life in high rpms, Sweet sounding exhaust, The way it picksup after 40kmph and goes upto 150kmph easily and stays there comfortably and not at all stressed all some of tge best features that made me fell in lovevwith this bike.Being a japanese relisble engine i hope i can keep it for atleast 1, 00, 000+ kilometres on the odo.Service cost wil be a bit premium for users who just upgraded to ninja.But its totally worth and once you start riding ityou forget the cost.Spares are much cheaper now and easily available.Mileage is depending pn our riding style.Love this bike.Thank you kawasaki for such a wonderful bike.

    Zippy but Could Do Better on Highways 

    The KTM 125 Duke is an entry-level motorcycle known for its aggressive styling, sporty performance, and impressive handling. The 124.7cc engine produces around 14.5 PS and 12 Nm of torque. The KTM might be priced slightly higher than some competitors in the 125cc segment. While mileage figures vary, estimates are around 40 kmpl, which might not be the most fuel-efficient option. Overall The KTM 125 Duke is a great choice for riders.

    most loved among all 

    The ktm 125 duke is one of the most loved bikes specially among the youngsters who are attracted to the fashionable designing and structuring of the exterior of this model. This bike is priced high. I got this for my son on his birthday last year at rs. 1.8 lakhs. The seat is heightened and comfortable. The ground clearance is good and so is the mileage. There are many variants and colour options available.

    Moderate performance and experience  

    I am riding KTM 125 Duke from around 1 year and it has never disappointed me in any aspect. The 125cc engine gives a smooth performance for daily usage and a decent mileage of 40-45 kmpl. The rear suspension absorb all shocks easily and the brakes are working properly till now. The ground clearance is moderate so be careful at breakers

    High power but with high price 

    The bike price is high because it gives more power that beats 150 - 160 cc bike and it gives high power and torque with the 125 cc segment. This bike is beginner friendly and comes with the refined engine and the enigne is better than Pulsar NS160 but the dual channel ABS is missing in high price. Duke has the coolest design and can not believe with 125 cc bike it look like 400 cc bikes and KTM Duke becoming most wanted bike because of beautiful design.
