Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which is better Kawasaki Ninja 300 or Royal Enfield Bullet 350?
  • Both bikes are good in their own forte, Kawasaki Ninja 300 is one of the most affordable bikes in the market you can buy with a parallel-twin engine. The Ninja 300’s USP was its butter-smooth parallel-twin heart. As expected, Kawasaki has tweaked the same 296cc, parallel-twin engine to meet the BS6 norms. The motor now makes 39PS and 26.1Nm, which is 0.9Nm less than the BS4 Ninja 300. We expect the motor to feel as refined as ever on the go, and more importantly, it’ll be better for the environment too. Despite its age, the 2021 Kawasaki Ninja 300 still remains a formidable supersport offering. On the other, the Royal Enfield Bullet 350 is more than just a motorcycle; it's a piece of motorcycling history. If you're drawn to its classic design, relaxed riding style, and the idea of owning a bike with a strong legacy, the Bullet 350 could be an excellent choice. However, it's essential to acknowledge that it might not match the performance or handling characteristics of more modern motorcycles. 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.

Despite its age, the 2021 Kawasaki Ninja 300 still remains a formidable supersport offering. The baby Ninja has the dynamics of a comfortable tourer with its parallel-twin heart and with a few updates is loads of fun around the twisties or on a track. However, we feel Kawasaki has played it safe by not giving any additional features, which is a bit disappointing given the Rs 20,000 price hike. 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.
  • Yes
Q. Which one is better Apache 160 or apace 180?
  • Better you should Buy the Apache RTR 180 because its Aerodynamics is much better in comparision to Other Bikes in its Class and also to its Younger Sibling Apache RTR 160 4V Fi.I own a TVS Apache RTR 180 2016 Model and till now it haven't shown us any Chain Sprocket or Engine Problems, instead only the Battery Sometimes Dies Fast and we have ridden almost all kind of Terrains and its Torque & Power is amazing compared to Other 180cc Bikes. TVS APACHE RTR 180 gives you an Aggression of Performance and one who owns The RTR 180 will too soon get to the Bike's Manuals and Riding. I want to say that Our TVS APACHE RTR 180 is the 2016 Model and still it doesn't have any time to Time (almost negligible issues) and our Bike even doesn't have ABS and then also it performs and Brakes and accelerates too well, in point the Bike becomes too responsive and Easy Daily commuter and if any Buys the RTR 180 now in 2020, the New RTR 180 will definitely gonna be more Awesome and Responsive 👍🇮🇳. But maintain the Time to time Bike Servicing and Other Maintenances; you'll obviously gonna take Care of your Beautiful Bike more than you but Ride Safe Guys. Lastly, but not the least, the APACHE RTR 160 4V Fi is also a Quite very Responsive and Good Commuter Bike it's your choice, what you wanna Buy but personally I would Recommend to Buy the TVS APACHE RTR 180 ABS cz I have experienced a lot with all the Models of the Apache RTR 180 till now and I wanna say that ofcourse both the TVS bikes questioned here are amazing Bikes🙏🇮🇳👍
  • TVS has dealt with the Apache RTR 160 performance issue and has now made the bike near-perfect, well, except of course those raised eye-brow-like DRLs, which we think are a polarizing aspect of the design. Factor in the kind of equipment and features on offer, and it becomes a no-brainer if you’ve got performance on your mind. On the other hand, TVS Apache RTR 180 is a fun-to-ride motorcycle with quick handling dynamics and a range of safety features. The razor-sharp handling makes it a hoot to ride and it is a value-for-money vehicle. 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.
  • If i says if tvs motor up grade 180 with 4v and 6 speed manual then don't wast time and go for it bkz i am a owner of 180 from last 10 years but i still clock 141 kmh speed on it, in short its far better then 200 4v or 1604v in speed but as we know only speed is nothing a bike with new upgrades is better in all aspects

    Dark roads 

    Man...... This bike just shines like a star in the top end, it did even defeated the two 400cc category monsters: DUKE 390 and RC390.I use to ride this machine for my daily commute to institution, and some Sunday rides. For a twin-cylinder, it's just smooth as butter, refined but then when you go past 9000rpm, it starts to show its true character. It just puts its all nuts till remarkable 13,500 rpm redline! maintenance is quite expensive because 'obviously, it's a KAWASAKI.' The twisty and curvy roads of Assam is where this bike belongs to. You get just more and more amount of confidence when you start to lean down.It's road presence is like a gem. Anyone can recognise it by its powerful twin halogens which helps me overcome the dark roads.I say, overall, it does do Justice for its price. But just lacks in modern equipments like USD forks, Aluminium swingarm, full digital console. That's on you what you choose, but for me, ninja is the most dominant 300cc supersport bike.

    Better performer than Pulsar N160 

    It is the fastest bike in its class with really fun to ride and very well equipped but the engine performance is better in Pulsar N160. The suspension setup of TVS Apache is more better that absorbs road bumps and it feels like lighter and quicker although the Bajaj ride is on the firm side. TVS Apache is better bike than Bajaj and the top end model of this bike is feature rich and is a good performer bike.
