From roadsters to supersports, the market is replete with value-for-money propositions

From roadsters to supersports, the market is replete with value-for-money propositions

This year has been an exciting one for motorcycle enthusiasts, with manufacturers bringing some highly anticipated and even a few unexpected offerings to the market. If you want a bike for Diwali (but don’t want a gaping hole in your pockets), here are our top five picks that will cost you under Rs 2 lakh:



Yamaha YZF-R15 V4
Yamaha’s baby supersport has been a massive success in India, and the V4 has made its global debut right from our market. The Yamaha R15 V4 comes with a new (and more) aerodynamic design, traction control, a quickshifter, and a USD fork (finally!). And with a price tag starting from just Rs 1.67 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), it is too good a bike to not consider. We have already thoroughly tested the top-of-the-line R15M, and before you head to the showroom, you might want to check out its real-world performance.



2021 KTM RC 200
After multiple spy shots and test mules, KTM has finally launched the 2021 RC 200 at just Rs 115 over the outgoing model. The Austrian supersport now gets an all-new design, a new chassis, an updated instrument console, and a bigger fuel tank, while having the same kerb weight. Too tempting, isn’t it? We have already ridden the bike on the race track, and our first ride review will give you a taste of how potent the new bike is.



TVS Apache RTR 200 4V
Riding modes, adjustable suspension, riding modes, and span-adjustable levers -- too good to be true for a 200cc bike, right? Well, the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V has got it all. Additionally, features like smartphone connectivity and navigation, along with Glide Through Traffic (GTT), make commutes all the more fun. At Rs 1.38 lakh (ex-showroom), the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V is a tempting proposition. Our road test review of the bike should help you take the call.



Bajaj Pulsar F250
After over a decade, Bajaj has finally built the spiritual successor to the ageing Pulsar 220F. The Bajaj Pulsar F250 uses a brand-new 249.77cc air- and oil-cooled engine developing 24.5PS and 21.5Nm. It is built on an all-new platform and is the first Pulsar to come with a slipper clutch. Not bad for a bike that costs Rs 1.40 lakh (ex-showroom), right? How does it ride? Stay tuned for our review that drops tomorrow.



Jawa 42 2.1
Jawa updated the Forty-Two with a few new bits and bobs for the top-spec Jawa 42 2.1. But it’s not just the new alloy wheels, bar-end mirrors, or the all-black theme that make it special. Jawa has improved the bike’s fit and finish as well. The 42 2.1 was the first bike to come equipped with Jawa’s improved engine. But should you really splurge Rs 1.83 lakh (ex-showroom) for this classic roadster? Check out our first ride review before you take the call.

Pulsar N250 - Amazing Machine

I chose this bike for it's looks, easy spare parts availability and uniqueness on roads. This is one of the cheapest 250cc out there. It provides almost all the modern technologies like riding modes, Dual-channel ABS, Traction control, Bluetooth navigation, etc. I liked the seating posture and seat height it is very accessible to all types of riders. I like bikes having good low-end torque for effortless city riding and this machine has very good low to mid range torque so these are the reasons I chose this beautiful machine. The overall ride quality is very good. The suspension is not that stiff and you will definitely feel the adrenaline rush due to it's power. This is a very good city machine as well as capable on highways. On highways you can easily cruise at 80-100 km/h without much stress on the engine. I must say that the engine is very refined and smooth.The pickup is great and it has very good midrange performance. I am getting mileage of around 38 km/l which is decent for a 250cc. You can get mileage of 45 on highways if you cruise at a constant speed. The stability of this bike at speeds of 90-100 is decent but I am not sure about the high stability post 120 km/h. You feel the absence of a 6th gear on highways sometimes but the bike manages the gear ratios pretty well. Overall I'll say this bike has got a very punchy and refined engine. The braking is very good and the front brake response is very satisfying you will feel confident while riding this machine. The exhaust sound is very bassy and head-turning. People will definitely notice you. The pillion seat and rear suspension is a bit on stiffer side but it is good for cities. One thing I must mention is it's class-leading led projector headlights.The throw is very amazing and you will feel confidence on highways.No other bike in this segment provides such powerful headlights. So let's come to conclusion Will I recommend this bike I would say if you love bike having great low and mid range torque refined engine then you should definitely go for N250.But if you want a better highway machine having liquid looked technology and better high speed stability then you can look at NS200. Overall both the bikes have their own pros and cons and it all depends on what kind of rider you are and what you want. At last I would say you can buy N250 it will not disappoint. You will love riding it. I hope this review helps you find your perfect ride, Thanks...Read More

The perfect everyday street fighter

I chose this bike for eye catchy look, good mileage, good performance in reasonable price as well as an Indian brand so that parts availability is good plus most important thing it sounds very good and sporty. I face some issues regarding electronics but never about bikes performance i had done long trips in my bike no performance issues so far as well as on highway you can get good average comfortable ride. A person who wants powerful performance in city as well as highway and those who commute on daily basis it's is good for college students who's college is in city area plus a person who want good touring bike under 2 lakh and doesn't care about 120 above speed should definitely buy this bike.Read More

Strong and Stylish All-Rounder

I picked the N250 because I wanted a strong bike that can handle city and highway. The style looked sharp and I liked its color. My friend had one and he said it is smooth. I wanted a bike that feels solid and comfortable for long rides. It seemed like the perfect mix of fun and work use. Riding this bike has been exciting. The engine feels strong and smooth. I took it on highways and it handled curves well. The brakes are strong and seat is soft. Even in traffic, it feels stable. I enjoy the look and the sound. Each ride makes me feel confident and happy. I would tell my friends to try it. It is good for young riders and those who like speed. The bike feels solid and safe. It looks cool and runs smooth. City or highway, it is easy to ride. I feel proud when I ride it and it is worth the money.Read More

Designed for Urban Roads

I picked this bike because it gives solid mileage and feels sturdy. Needed something for daily rides that wouldn’t burn much fuel. The seat height and looks matched my comfort and taste perfectly. Engine feels refined and noise-free. Feels smooth on the road, even in traffic. Engine runs clean, gears shift well. I use it almost every day to go to college. It has not given me any trouble so far. Very reliable on both short and long routes. I’d say this bike suits anyone who rides daily. Great mileage, easy handling, and not much maintenance needed. It’s simple, affordable, and works without drama. Great for office rides and errands. Bought it for solid road presence.Read More

Pulsar N250 : The bike of my dreams

The Pulsar N250 is easily the best naked bike under 2 lakhs (pre-GST update). It delivers an amazing pull in the low and mid range, offers great city mileage of around 40 kmpl, and comes with fantastic brakes that stop exactly when you need them to. Its stylish and aggressive design genuinely makes you want to turn back and admire it every time. I also considered the NS200, which performs better on highways but returns lower mileage in the city. Since my primary use case is daily city riding with occasional long rides, the N250 was the perfect fit. The Pulsar N250 delivers impressive mileage with around 40 kmpl in the city and about 43 kmpl on the highway while cruising between 70 and 80 kmph. It has a strong pull in the low and mid range, a torque rich engine, and excellent brakes that give a lot of confidence. Both rider and pillion get comfortable seating and the sporty and aggressive design makes the bike stand out. The headlight throw is among the best in this segment and the suspension feels stable on highways which makes relaxed cruising very easy. Service and maintenance are also affordable. On the negative side there can be a rare wobble above 120 kmph and the handlebar may feel slightly short for some people. The rear mudguard is not very effective, the suspension feels a little stiff in the city, and the mirrors are average. The instrument cluster is also not bright enough under strong afternoon sunlight. Absolutely recommended. If you want a bike with strong pull and power, stylish and head turning looks, and something that does not put a strain on your wallet, this is the right choice. It gives good mileage, delivers a thrilling experience on highways, and can even give you goosebumps when taking curves.Read More
