Recently Asked User Questions

Q. What should I buy between Yamaha MT 15 V2 and R15S?
  • Yes
  • MT 15 V2 bike
  • Both the bikes are good in their forte. The updates as expected have made the new MT-15 a better bike. It looks more premium, handles better and the addition of a few new features is welcome. But we were expecting more from Yamaha! The dullness of the engine is disappointing and the lack of dual-channel ABS is just beyond any reasoning with this performance on tap. As for goodies such as a quick-shifter and traction control, they should have been offered as part of a premium variant. On the other hand, the Yamaha R15S 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 trac 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. 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. Which bike is the best between, Yamaha MT-15 Version 2.0 or KTM 200 Duke?
  • Both the bikes are good in their forte. The design update has given the KTM 200 Duke a new lease of life. Also, the fact that the new BS6-compliant motor does not lose out on performance almost makes it feel like a win-win. That said, the substantial hike in price means it is now more expensive than larger motorcycles such as the Suzuki Gixxer 250. However, when it comes to thrills, the KTM 200 Duke delivers it in spades! On the other hand, The updates as expected have made the new MT-15 a better bike. It looks more premium, handles better and the addition of a few new features is welcome. But we were expecting more from Yamaha!

Q. Which bike to choose, XPulse 200, Dominar 250 or Scrambler?
  • Hero has delivered a far better XPulse with the 4-valve updates. You will appreciate the extra drive and new suspension tune for commuting and off-roading. On other hand, Yezdi Scrambler isn’t an adventure motorcycle, yet you will relish the sporty handling of the Scrambler on your weekend rides. It is capable of carrying incredible lean angles with ease. And if talk about the third contender, apart from its accessible price tag, the Dominar 250 does one thing right, it is fit to its purpose. The 250cc motor may feel boring, but it works beautifully on the Dominar especially when you combine it with its comfortable touring ergonomics. 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.
