Q. Which would be better in price and performance between Yamaha MT 03, KTM Duke390 and BMW G310R?

Q. I wish to buy a street bike. I’m short and I have selected 4 bikes. I am single so I need to pick my mother and father may be, so which bike is good for a pillion rider? My dream bikes are BMW G310R, Honda CB300R, Benelli TNT 300 or Yamaha MT 03.
- Blindly go for triumph speed 440 , if you are not short i would have recommended triumph scram 400x....these two are loaded with every features and best bikes with amazing and unbelievably cheap exshowroom price
- Hi , are the parts reliable enough to pass on the bike to next generation?
- Don't go for Benali... Spares not available. You can Trust Yamaha & Honda. BMW service cost is to high... No free service. Minimum service cost starts rs.6000/-
Q. Gd eve team, which is best, NINJA 300 or Yamaha MT 03? Let me know on what basis you're listing your options, whether you see BHP , NM or Mileage? I am curious to know about TVS zeppelin also, your comment on that please.
- Hello Vivek, The Yamaha MT-03 has not been launched in India yet, and is unlikely to enter the country any time soon. The Ninja 300 on the other hand has been heavily localised with competitive pricing. It's a good all-rounder with a decent balance of efficiency and power. The TVS Zeppelin is just in its concept stage as of now. We believe TVS will take at least a year to bring the Zeppelin to production. Even then, it is likely to have only a small-capacity motor as the brand- known for sporty motorcycles would just be testing waters with a cruiser.
