Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which is better Bajaj Pulsar 150 or TVS Apache 160 4V?
  • Selecting the right vehicle would depend on several factors such as your budget preference on the segment, features required, engine options, brand preference, etc. The Pulsar 150 continues to be the most popular 150cc motorcycle that offers a decent combination of power, features, and efficiency at a good price. On the other hand, the Apache RTR 160 4V comes with plenty of power on tap along, it still remains one of the most exciting motorcycles to ride in the 160cc segment. It offers a very good ride quality and it has a smooth engine which is good for the daily commute. 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. Shine 125 or Pulsar 125 or Raider 125 which is the best?
  • Honda Shine comes with better fuel efficiency and a refined engine. The BS6 Shine gets an ACG starter motor, which offers extremely silent, almost noiseless starts and a start/stop switch. Powering the Honda is a 125cc fuel-injected motor that makes 10.7PS of power and 11Nm of torque mated to a new 5-speed transmission. However, The Pulsar 125 does make a lot of sense for a novice rider looking for a motorcycle with a bit of oomph without having to forego one’s entire life savings. It is the most affordable Pulsar on sale right now. And TVS has gone the smarter route, keeping a thrilling ride experience as the USP, instead of a purely commuter-centric approach. Nevertheless, the TVS Raider seems like a solid product and a worthy (and stylish) alternative to the umpteenth Honda Shine. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
