Pulsar AS200 is a complete value for money bike. You will get lot of features (Projector Headlamp, Mono suspension, Windshield, High ground clearance), power, looks in this bike. If your budget permits then go for CBR250R (ABS). AS200- Best for Touring, City, Off-road KTM200- Street fighter (Best for short distance racing, not comfortable for touring) CBR250R- Best bike for city, touring, ABS is optional(Price is much more, almost double to AS200) CBR150R- Good but costly than AS200.(Power is less, 150CC engine) Karizma R/ZMR- Smooth refined engine(but looks are bad, no features such as Monoshock suspension, Tubeless tyres(in Karizma R), Projector headlamp) Overall Pulsar AS 200 is the best choice among above mentioned bikes.

The difference between the prices of same capacity bikes of Yamaha and Honda depends largely on the amount of localization the company has for its products. The products with 100 percent localization has a difference due to their quality of material being used and number of features being provided to the rider. This difference is generally kept as low as possible so that the product stays in the competition. The other bikes, which are brought as CBU's to the Indian market have huge difference between their prices. The real problem behind the thing is the 120 percent import tax. Suppose you import a INR 1,00,000 vehicle. It will cost you INR 2,20,000 on the arrival. The other thing bought for INR 1,20,00 will cost INR 2,64,000. The INR 20,000 difference increased to INR 44,000 which makes the scenario worse for the companies as well as the customers.

A factor you should consider is as to how well does the respective service centre take care of their customers. I'd suggest you talk to few owners of these scooters. Front disk brake is preferable to a drum. Tubeless tyres are better. The actual mileage claimed by a few manufacturers is many a times way lower than what is claimed. If you are located in the coastal part of India, I would suggest you avoid chrome accessories as they tend to rust (eg. Piaggio Vespa) quickly. LML Star Euro 150 for example comes with a spare wheel.

TVS Jupiter is the best scooter out of the above three options. People consider the Activa 3G as the best scooter but the TVS Jupiter has gone above the negative points of the Activa 3G and made a perfect scooter at its price range. The engine delivers 7.8 BHP, which sounds less than the Activa on paper, but on road, the minor difference is not even felt by an average rider. The Jupiter provides the rider with 12 inch rim size with alloy wheels which is far better than the Activa's 10 inch steel rims. Also, it comes with front telescopic suspension, making it more comfortable on non ideal roads. Even after having these features, the Jupiter comes with a price tag of INR 46,925 which is far better than the INR 50,000 tag of Activa.

Yamaha Fascino

Which scooter is best to buy among TVS Jupiter and Activa 3G?

I personally own a TVS jupiter and frequently use my friend's Activa 3G. I have also test driven a relative's Fascino. While Activa has much better after sales support and resale value, I find the ride quality and comfort of Jupiter to be better. Also Jupiter has much better balance due to those bigger 12 inch wheels I think. Another plus point of Jupiter is the better initial acceleration compared to Fascino. The plus points of Fascino are its Vespa like looks and silent engine.

Honda RC213V-S is so expensive because it has been derived from the MotoGP version of the bike names RC213V. The track version and the road legal version only has certain differences, which includes the rear view mirrors, side stand, front headlight and the different seat for riding. The power has been limited electronically, which means that the same engine has been used in the road legal version also. Its ultra light weight design, which is 170 kg only is all due to its light carbon fiber parts and skipping the unnecessary parts for riding. The bike has a very powerful engine capable for producing 250+ BHP in its fully functional form, making it a really expensive ride.

So much carbon fiber my friend

If you are into race, super quick and can compensate on long rides then go for RC. RC 390 is hard to drive in city traffic. Whereas CBR250R is a complete package for City riding and touring with ease and comfort. Wait for new updated CBR250R, I am waiting for it too.
