Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which one is the best NS200 or NS250?
  • The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 was always seen as an affordable alternative if you were in the market for a sporty streetfighter. As for the comfort, right from the moment you sit on it and reach for the bars, you get a lovely sense of command over the motorcycle. The seat cushioning is firm but absorbent, the texture is grippy and the slim tank allows you to straddle the bike more efficiently. Even the taut suspension isn’t that much of a bother. On the other hand, the Bajaj NS250 has not launched yet and it would be unfair to give a verdict. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your city accordingly for dealership details.
Q. Should I buy this bike now wait for the update to get launch?
  • If you want a bike now then you go for a current model. The NS 200 has gained in performance, despite the strict BS6 emissions. On the other hand, there is no official update of the launch of the new updated Bajaj Pulsar NS200 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 -BS6 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Reviewed In Detailed Photos.
Q. Which one is better Apache 160 or apace 180?
  • 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.
  • Rtr180 2010 model
  • 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
