Will the 2025 RS200 updates be enough to be able to compete with newer rivals such as the Yamaha R15 V4?
10 January 2025 08:08
But for many buyers Bajaj brand loyalty and service network will continue to make the RS200 an attractive proposition, even if the numbers don't add up on paper.
Is the 2025 Bajaj Pulsar RS200 just a sticker job?
10 January 2025 08:08
I don't think it's quite fair to call it just a sticker job. The actual upgrades are the new digital console and LED taillights, even if they’re not groundbreaking. Really it's more of a refresh than a complete overhaul.
Will 2025 RS200 buyers like the new taillight design, or will it be a miss?
10 January 2025 08:08
The new taillight is one that you might expect to see on a much cheaper bike. This was really a miss by Bajaj. The old design was unique and also recognizable.
Is the absence of USD forks in the 2025 RS200 less competitive in its segment?
10 January 2025 08:08
It's not a dealbreaker, I don't think. The RS200 has always been a good performance for a good price. The cost would go up by adding USD forks.
Is the FZ25 still a good buy or can something better be had in 2025?
10 January 2025 08:03
If you’re into the modding scene, a used FZ25 is a good platform to build on. It has tons of aftermarket support and you can make it your own.
What is the best touring setup for FZ25 for long distance rides?
10 January 2025 08:03
Concentrate on the rider more than the bike. Any bike mods are nothing compared to good gear, especially a helmet you don't want to take off, and riding pants that fit.
Can the FZ25 keep up with modern 200cc sport bikes?
10 January 2025 08:03
Straight line speed isn't all of it. Because of its better stability, more relaxed ergonomics, the FZ25 is a better all-rounder for daily use and touring.
Is the Yamaha FZ25 really discontinued or is it just waiting for a comeback?
10 January 2025 08:03
It's definitely dead. Yamaha couldn’t make the FZ25 stand out in a 250cc segment which is too crowded. If they don’t like them, they’ll stick to what works for them.
In terms of long term reliability of the FZ25 compared to the other bikes in its segment?
10 January 2025 08:03
It's reliable but not an outlier; I'd say it's above average in reliability but the gap isn't as big as some FZ fans make it out to be. Bikes in general are pretty solid these days.
Which 125cc bike has the best fuel efficiency?
10 January 2025 07:57
But if you stay under 55 mph, I’ve found it’s pretty efficient. It is when you push it to higher speeds that you see the consumption really go up.
What's the KTM Duke 125 like in terms of long-term reliability?
10 January 2025 07:57
The engine is bulletproof, but I’ve had some electrical gremlins. It’s nothing major, just annoying stuff like the dash flickering every now and then.
Is the KTM Duke 125 a good bike for a first bike?
10 January 2025 07:57
If you're going to upgrade within a year or two, I'd say it's worth it. It is value-retaining so that you will not lose much when you sell the car.
Let’s see how the KTM Duke 125 performs in real-world traffic conditions.
10 January 2025 07:57
Sometimes, I feel kind of vulnerable, honestly. Larger vehicles don’t see you, and you don’t have the power to quickly get out of sticky situations.
Which is better, the Fazer8 as a commuter or a weekend warrior?
10 January 2025 07:55
It's a better commuter for me. It has great upright ergonomics and a smooth engine that makes it great for dealing with traffic. A pure sport bike is not as sharp in the twisties.
How does the Fazer8 fare in 2025? Is it still relevant?
10 January 2025 07:55
It depends on what you’re after I think. If you’re after the newest and best, no, it doesn’t apply. However, if you’re after a solid, reliable all rounder, it’s hard to beat the Fazer8.
How does the Fazer8 compare with its siblings the FZ6 and FZ1?
10 January 2025 07:55
The engine in the Fazer8 is smoother than either the FZ6 or FZ1. It's beautiful to ride—linear power delivery that you can ride in the city and it's great for highway cruising.
What problems do Fazer8 owners have the most?
10 January 2025 07:55
The problem I've seen the most with is the stator. The whole assembly can be torn up because the magnets can come loose. That's definitely something to watch.
What problems do FZ1 Fazer owners have the most?
10 January 2025 07:47
They're pretty bulletproof bikes, honestly. The vast majority of issues are very minor and easy to fix. The problems you see with some other brands are nothing like that.
Is the FZ1 Fazer better as a sport bike or as a tourer?
10 January 2025 07:47
It's too heavy as a sport bike, and the suspension is too soft. It’s not a tourer, it doesn’t have luggage options and the fuel range could be better. It's stuck in the middle.
Is the Yamaha FZ1 Fazer a good first bike for a new rider?
10 January 2025 07:47
It depends on the rider. You might be okay if you’re older, cautious, and have good self control. However, for most new riders, it's too much power to handle safely until he has learned.
