Bajaj’s Pulsar lineup includes the Pulsar 150, Pulsar N150, Pulsar N160, Pulsar NS160, Pulsar NS200 and the Pulsar RS200. Pulsar seems to have strength in numbers, which explains the higher sales figures. Moreover, the lineup also witnessed up to Rs 23,000 price cut due to GST 2.0 norms, and the brand announced several festive offers at the same time as well.
The TVS Apache range, on the other hand, consists of four models: The TVS Apache RTR 160 2V, the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, the TVS Apache RTR 180 2V and the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V. All of these models are known for their youthful design, peppy engines and innovative features, making them quite popular with buyers who want feature-packed bikes with good performance as well as looks. The Apache range managed to come really close to the Pulsar lineup, despite having fewer models in the 150-200cc category. The recent price cuts of up to Rs 13,200 due to the revised GST rates could’ve been the reason.
The Honda Unicorn solidifies third place with its decent sales performance. Folks love the bike’s neutral styling and refined engine that offers good mileage. The fourth and fifth positions are dominated by the Yamaha FZ range (which includes Yamaha FZ-FI V3, Yamaha FZ-S FI V3, Yamaha FZ-S Fi V4, 2025 Yamaha FZ-S Fi, Yamaha FZ-X and Yamaha FZ-X Hybrid) and the Yamaha MT-15. The FZ range is all about style without compromising on mileage. Just don’t expect fantastic performance, though. On the other hand, the MT-15 offers a good balance of performance and everyday usability thanks to its more upright riding posture when compared to its sibling, the Yamaha R15.
Also, if you are planning to buy a motorcycle and are confused as to what you should choose between the MT-15 and the R15, we have explained all the differences between them. The prices of both the Yamaha bikes got reduced due to GST 2.0, and the brand announced several Diwali offers this month as well.

- r15v4 the beastI had a brother who likes riding this old r15 and I was small and didn't knew any super bikes at all and this was my first super bike which had all sharpnes at edges, the colour, the speed, it had some personality. Its been amazing by so far, smooth, light weight. Its top speed is pretty good. It gives good mileage. It is very nice for long rides. Performance of the bike is so good. Suspensions works very well on road. Yes for sure but take my opinion and explore different bike, It may have something that this bike wouldn't have that charm but you can go for it if you want sporty look and a good racing bike. Its nice.Read More
- reliable daily commuter with great mileageNeeded something dependable for daily city traffic that wouldn't eat up all petrol money. looked at a few other 150cc options but the pulsar 150 just felt like the right balance of price, low maintenance and that classic muscular look that never gets old. Honestly pretty smooth for daily running, engine has nice pickup in lower gears so overtaking in heavy trafffic is easy, getting a solid 45-50 km regularly, only slight downside is minor handle vibes past 85 kmph but for everyday city speeds, its steady and comfortable. Definitely 100 percent recommend it, if you want a reliable everyday bike with decent power and great fuel efficiency, maintenance is super cheap and spare parts are available anywhere. just a solid, no nonsense daily runner that gets the job done.Read More
