Recently Asked User Questions

Q. I want a bike under two lakhs, shortlist Dominar 400 and Svartpilen 250. I travel a lot. Can you suggest any other option?
  • As per your requirement, we suggest you go for Bajaj Dominar 400. Dominar 400 in its current avatar, it makes for a great urban motorcycle, oozing plenty of style and character, as well as packing in the performance and comfort to make occasional touring a breeze. The new Dominar 400’s rider triangle is similar to that of the older bike and the riding posture is upright with a slight forward-canted stance. Seat padding remains identical and coupled with the comfortable riding posture, touring on the Dominar shouldn’t be a tiring proposition. 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. Which is the best overall bike svartpilen 250 Vs RE classic 350 dual channel I used to like Royal Enfield but after svartpilen 250 I just love this look and feature can you just show both prop and cons ?? I'm from Mumbai and mostly my need is for daily commute and short trips please help me.
  • Both bikes are of different segments and have different characteristics. The Husqvarna Svartpilen 250 looks good, is quick, and rides and handles well. If you are less inclined towards practicality but lean more towards design, the Vitpilen 250 looks more eye-catching and is more engaging to ride. So effectively, the Svartpilen 250 is in no man’s land. On the other hand, the Royal Enfield Classic 350 is far from a perfect bike even in its BS6 avatar. However, in a world where everybody is trying to go retro and neo-retro, it remains the OG retro motorcycle in essence and feel. You may comopare both bikes accordingly. Do take a test ride in order to get better clarity. Check out authorised dealership details.
Q. Which Bike is best Hasquvarna or Royel Enfiled Himalayan 350, Which is Best and strongest Bike for Longer lasting Bike pl.suggest...?
  • Both bikes are of different segments and have different characteristics. Keeping the bike for long will totally depend on how it is maintenance and ridden. The Husqvarna Svartpilen 250 looks good, is quick, and rides and handles well. However, the KTM 250 Duke offers the same traits with the added benefits of a spacious rider and pillion seat and a larger fuel tank. If you are less inclined towards practicality but lean more towards design, the Vitpilen 250 looks more eye-catching and is more engaging to ride. So effectively, the Svartpilen 250 is in no man’s land. We feel that KTM/Husqvarna should have capitalised on the Svartpilen’s scrambler appeal. They could raid the KTM parts bin and use the 390 Adventure’s longer travel suspension, larger 19-inch front tyre, serrated footpegs and turn the Svartpilen 250 into a proper scrambler. With these updates, even a price hike of Rs 20,000 would put it at par with the KTM 250 Duke’s pricing, but then you would have a more capable Svartpilen 250 pointing in the right direction -- off-road. As things stand, you have better alternatives to the Svartpilen 250 from its own family and another capable 250cc motorcycles.Owning and riding multiple motorcycles is a luxury that few can afford and even fewer can truly enjoy. If the Himalayan is on your shopping list, it’s quite likely that it’s going to be your only motorcycle. And as an only motorcycle, it’s as close to perfect as you can get in this price range, or even a few rungs higher, for that matter. This really is the Swiss Army Knife of motorcycles i.e. a capable, versatile, one-size-fits-all motorcycle. Need something to ferry you to the office and back? No problem. Want to cruise the highways on weekends? It’ll do it all day and all night long. Finally had your leave approved and want to ride to Ladakh? This is just the bike for the job. It’ll even keep you entertained on the twisty bits of tarmac you’ll find on the way. Short of hooning about on track, this is the one motorcycle that’ll do pretty much any and everything you ask of it, without protest or complaint. The Himalayan BS6 is a slightly more well-rounded and desirable motorcycle than before. You may compare both the bikes accordingly. Do take a test ride in order to get better clarity. Check out authorised dealership details.
