Q. If there is race between sf250 and r15 V3 who will win the race
  • R15 V3 is a kid compared to SF 250. I remember beating all v3s till now on road n on highways. But sf 150 is a kid for v3 also in the same segment.
  • R15 v3 is a kid compared to sf 250. I remember beating all v3s till now on road n on highways. But sf 155 is a kid for v3 also
  • If you compare 155cc bike with an 250cc bike then obviously in a drag race 250cc bike wins, but in 150cc segment this is the best bike till now ( my opinion ) because I too own R15 v3
View All Answers
Q. Confused between, SF250, R15 V3 and NS200. My height is 6 feet.
  • Among the available options, we would suggest you to go with the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 if you are looking for a bike with sporty handling, a brilliant gearbox, and a good price to performance ratio. The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 was always seen as an affordable alternative if you were in the market for a sporty streetfighter. However, given that the competition now offers better features, the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 feels less relevant now. On the other hand, you may go for the Suzuki SF 250 for its all-rounder capabilities. It’s good in the city, works well on the highway, and although not extremely sporty, handles well too. Then it’s comfortable for the rider and not too bad for the pillion either. The build is solid, and its design, while not universally lovable, is certainly striking. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
