KTM RC 390 vs Yamaha R15S

Question 1

Q. For riding in Chennai City r15v3 is good or Thunderbird 350X?

Answer

It's Simple Yamaha R15 V3 is best in Chennai City

Answer

The R15 has always had a singular focus. Performance. That leads to compromise in other aspects like ergonomics. Its sporty riding position comes courtesy of an 815mm high rider seat (up by 15mm over the v2). Despite the taller seat, we did not have an issue placing both feet on the ground. The riding position has become more aggressive and while it worked well on the track, riding in the city for an extended period did leave a minor discomfort in our wrists and upper back. Other than the clip-on, which now feels lower, the low-set footpegs are comfortable and the rest of the bike too didn't give us any reason to complain. You do need to be careful while taking U-turns though as the bars come pretty close to the fuel tank, and your hand getting too close to your knee during full lock does cause some issues. Especially on right-hand U-turns, it’s rather difficult to open the throttle as your wrist is resting on the tank at full lock. On the other hand, the Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350X has been discontinued and is not available for sale in the market. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and riding comfort.

Question 2

Q. My height is 5.2 feet, which is better Dominar 250 or Yamaha R15 V3?

Answer

You may have to tip-toe the bike while moving the bike around in the parking lot or in stop-and-go traffic. Moreover

Answer

As per your requirements, we would suggest you to go with the Bajaj Dominar 250. The sports tourer offers a seat height of 800mm which is fairly accessible, however, you may have to tip-toe the bike while moving the bike around in the parking lot or in stop-and-go traffic. 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.

Question 4

Q. Hi, I haven’t owned a bike yet but I am planning to but my first .. I am currently learning how to ride on the pulsar180 .. should I go for the rc 390 or apache 310 or any other one as I really love travelling .. but majorly I would ride in the city and occasionally hit the highway and might even go on long trips as I live in kashmir and the college that I have got in in New Delhi so it would be a bit your so pls suggest me a bike as I can’t reach on a decision .. I like Royal Enfield’s also but there power delivery is even less than the one I am currently owning .. my budget is around 3 lakhs .. pls suggest?

Answer

We would suggest you go for TVS Apache RR 310. TVS has done an incredible job in ironing out the sore spots of the Apache RR 310 with the BS6 update. It is loaded with tech, making it the most technologically advanced motorcycle in its class. The new prices are quite close to its fiercest rival -- the KTM RC 390. While it may lack the outright performance of the RC 390, the Apache RR 310 BS6 makes up for it by being a well-rounded machine that can do daily duties as well as corner carving or even touring, for that matter. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride.

Question 5

Q. Anyone plz suggest me between R15 V3 BS6 or ktm RC 200 bs6 which is better in mileage service cost and in availability of bike parts easily.

Answer

If you looking for daily rides with least cost than go for V3 if we compare to RC 200. I have been riding V3 since more than year and you wont believes my mileage is between 45 to 50 in highway and 40 to 45 in city. as far as matter of service cost than its average like other bike. Service cost is around 800 INR in my city Ahmedabad duration of 4000 km

Answer

R15v3 is best bike. R15V3 mileage is good and services is available.

Answer

Selecting the right bike would depend on several factors such as your budget preference on the segment, features required, engine options, brand preference, etc. The R15 v3 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 track enthusiasts. However, the aggressive riding stance could cause discomfort if you intend to use the bike for daily commuting and the quality of components has also gone down. Yamaha YZF R15 V3 is powered by a 155cc engine that generates a max power of 18.6 PS @ 10000 rpm and a max torque of 14.1 Nm @ 8500 rpm which comes with a price tag of Rs. 1.52 Lakh (Ex-showroom Price: Delhi). On the other hand, the KTM RC 200 continues to be one of the best beginner’s sports bikes you can buy if you’re looking to get into track riding or racing. Big-bike feels in a small bike package. RC 200 is equipped with a 199 CC engine that generates a max power of 25 PS @ 10000 rpm and a max torque of 19.2 Nm @ 8000 rpm which comes with a price tag of Rs. 2.04 Lakh (Ex-showroom Price, Delhi). 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.
