Recently Asked User Questions

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. Click on the link and select your desired city for dealership details.Read More: - 2021 TVS Apache RTR 200 4V vs Bajaj Pulsar NS200 BS6 vs Honda Hornet 2.0: Battle Of The 200cc Nakeds
Q. Which is the best between YZF R15 V3 and Pulsar 220F?
  • Both bikes are good enough. The Bajaj Pulsar 220F, despite its age, still remains an aspirational motorcycle for Indian buyers given its performance and features. Though the motor isn’t the most refined one out there, it is comfortable for city commutes as well as capable enough for highway touring. On the other hand, the R15 V3 remains one potent small-capacity supersport for beginners. In its version 3.0 guise, it has become sharper and more focused, making it great for sport riding or track enthusiasts. However, the aggressive riding stance could cause discomfort if you intend to use the bike for daily commuting and the quality of components have also gone down. You may compare both bikes accordingly. Do take a test ride for better clarity. Check out authorised dealership details.
Q. I am 5 ft 7 inch, is it comfortable for me?
  • According to the saddle height of Bajaj Pulsar 220 F, it may be difficult to ride by a 5.7ft height person. Moreover, you can have a test ride of the bike for a better idea of comfort and ride quality by visiting the nearest dealer in your city. You can click on the following link and select your city accordingly for the dealership details.

    Great bikes 

    One of the great bikes by bajaj in the pulsar segment.During its launch it was a real sizzler however with new technology and market demand many segments and brands are way about it now however it would still give you a rich experience.I still remember bajaj as" buland bharat ki buland tasveer - hamara bajaj".

    Long term vehicle : Bajaj Pulsar 220 F 

    Having owned the Bajaj Pulsar 220 F for over three years now, I have really gotten to know the ins and outs of this bike. It is powered by a 220 cc engine with 20 PS power and it really shows its performance on highways with its thrilling acceleration. The styling is aggressive and has a charm that still turns heads.On the downside, the Pulsar 220 F is on the heavier side weighing about 160 kg which makes it a bit cumbersome in urban traffic. The mileage is not impressive either, I get about 35-40 km/l, which is less than ideal for my daily commute.

    a package filled with excitement  

    My Hero Karizma XMR is a recently launched bike from Hero MotoCorp that combines sporty design with a powerful engine. It generally offers good acceleration and performance for city riding and highway cruising. Talking about the design features a sharp and sporty design with a full fairing, a muscular fuel tank, and a split-seat design that gives it a modern and aggressive look.

    Promising Yet Underwhelming Facelift 

    the Karizma XMR falls a bit short in a few areas. For starters, the ride quality has not seen much improvement over its competitors it still feels a bit too stiff, specially on rougher roads.
