Recently Asked User Questions

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! 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. 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.Read more -Yamaha MT-15 Version 2.0 Road Test Review - The Perfect Imperfection.
Q. What should I buy between Yamaha MT 15 V2 and R15S?
  • 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.

    End torque 

    Here are my thoughts on the upcoming royal enfield himalayan 450 motorcycle: overall features and stylingfrom what i've seen so far, The himalayan 450 retains the rugged, Adventurous styling of the current himalayan 411 but with some nice upgrades.The exposed frame and off-road oriented design are still there, But the 450 adds some sharper lines and a more muscular fuel tank for a modern look.Some key features include switchable abs, A tripper navigation pod, And an lcd display with turn-by-turn navigation.These are great features for an adventure touring bike.The styling strikes a good balance between rugged and refined.Expectationsi'm expecting the 450cc engine to provide a noticeable power bump over the 411cc motor in the current himalayan - perhaps around 30hp.This should make cruising at highway speeds more relaxed while still delivering excellent low-end torque for off-road riding.The weight is also reportedly lower, Which should improve handling.Overall, The 450 looks like a nicely improved evolution of the proven himalayan platform.My expectations are high for a more powerful, Lighter and feature-rich middleweight adventure tourer.Likelihood of purchasei'd say there's a good chance i'll seriously consider purchasing the himalayan 450 when it becomes available.It hits a real sweet spot in terms of power, Capability and price.The addition of navigation, Abs and other features make it an even more well-rounded package.As an experienced adventure rider currently without a middleweight tourer in my garage, The royal enfield ticks a lot of boxes for my needs and budget.Unless reviews reveal any major flaws, I could see myself purchasing a himalayan 450 in the future as my main adventure touring motorcycle.It looks like an excellent value proposition in the segment.

    Awesome Bike 

    The Enfield Himalayan is an outstanding bike, known for its light and easy-to-ride nature. The convenience of the self-starter eliminates the need for kick-starting, and the effective side stand makes parking effortless. The digital central console is user-friendly and easy to read. While designed primarily for off-road applications, its ride handling on city roads is commendable. The bike's rugged and distinctive appearance adds to its appeal, and the engine springs to life effortlessly with the self-start button. Smooth and easy gear shifts enhance the overall riding experience. The Himalayan is not only easy to handle but also versatile, suitable for both city commuting and off-road adventures. Although yet to be taken on the highway for off-road travel, it stands out as a great bike that excels in both urban and adventurous settings.Royal Enfield has successfully delivered a winner in this segment, offering an affordable option that is truly impressive. A potential owner myself, I am drawn to its overall greatness.

    Fantastic machine 

    Its a fantastic machine from royal enfield.I had a re himalayan 411cc and its one of the most affordable adventure bike in india.The servicing cost is merely around 1.5k to 3k which is value of money and even spares are less costly compared to other adv motorcycles available of other brands.Eagerly looking for the launch of this much anticipated and eagerly awaited adv from re with all new engine and loads of new equipment's like inverted forks, Liquid cooled engine, Round and fully digital instrumentation console / odometer, Cruise control just a few to name.I am sure this adv will be a superb machine from re stable which will take adventure junkies to a new and next level for sure.As soon as its launched, Have the plan to get one at the earliest.Thank you.Regards, Shivraj - 911****717.

    I bought an mt 15 2 years 

    I bought an mt 15 2 years ago.The best thing about this bike is the handling, Especially considering i live in aizawl, With having to make turns on sharp corners daily, Other bikes usually feel too stiff after owning an mt 15.However, The seat is a bit too uncomfortable and even more so for the passenger.Being the narcissist that i am, I could care less what my passenger thought.But with a baby on the way, I must bid my farewell to this bike.It's the first new bike i've owned and it has been my baby.I am sad to see it go, And i can confidently say, I've fell in love but it is also leaving me heartbroken, Since response must come first.
