Q. Which bike is the best Yamaha R15 V4 or Bajaj Pulsar NS200?
  • The Yamaha YZF-R15 V4 continues to be a trustworthy tool for riders looking to hone their track-riding skills. Of course, it is now a bit ergonomically friendlier and roomy enough for larger riders too. Additions like the traction control and quick shifter only amplify the bike’s sportiness. So, in our books, despite the price jump, the R15 V4 is a worthy proposition. On the other hand, the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 has soldiered through nine years of intense competition. As a result, pricing, features, and ease of use have ceased to be the bike’s strengths. The NS still puts up a strong fight in the BS6 era and is a perfect fit for those who like their bikes sporty and a little raw. 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.
