So why is the suspension of the Yamaha MT-15 V1 too stiff for some riders when they use it on a daily basis?
03 February 2025 06:08
The Yamaha MT-15 V1's stiff suspension setup is designed to enhance stability at high speeds and during cornering but compromises comfort on rough roads or potholes. This makes it less suitable for daily commuting on uneven surfaces.
If you’re not going to take the Ariel Atom to the track, is it worth owning?
03 February 2025 05:54
Without access to a track, owning an Ariel Atom may not be practical due to its lack of weatherproofing, minimal comfort features, and skeletal design. It’s best suited for performance-focused environments rather than everyday use.
Would features like doors or better weatherproofing ruin what makes the Ariel Atom special?
03 February 2025 05:54
Yes, adding doors or weatherproofing would compromise the Ariel Atom's minimalist design philosophy and raw driving experience, which are central to its appeal as a lightweight performance car.
What is the driving experience of the Ariel Atom compared to a traditional supercar?
03 February 2025 05:54
The Ariel Atom provides a unique driving experience that is more akin to a racing car than a traditional supercar. It is extremely lightweight and offers raw, unfiltered performance with its open-wheel design. The Atom is built for speed and agility, with acceleration that rivals many high-performance vehicles. Unlike traditional supercars, which often focus on luxury and comfort, the Atom is purely about the thrill of driving. It lacks the comforts and insulation of a typical supercar, making it a choice for those seeking an exhilarating, stripped-down driving experience.
Why do I have a feeling that some riders will not buy the KTM Duke 125 if Yamaha MT 15 V1 is available at a similar price?
03 February 2025 05:33
Riders might prefer the Yamaha MT-15 V1 over the KTM Duke 125 due to its more powerful engine (18.1 bhp vs 14.3 bhp) and better fuel efficiency (around 56.87 kmpl vs 46.92 kmpl). The MT-15 also offers a more refined riding experience and better visual appeal, which could sway buyers away from the Duke 125 if priced similarly.
Why is the suspension of the Yamaha MT-15 V1 too stiff for some riders when they use it on a daily basis?
03 February 2025 05:33
The Yamaha MT-15 V1 features a sport-tuned suspension, which is designed to provide stability and agility. However, this setup can be too stiff for some riders, especially on rough roads or during daily commuting. The stiffness is intended to enhance handling and performance but may not be as comfortable for riders who prioritize a smoother ride.
What could make the Pulsar RS250 stand out from the rest?
31 January 2025 11:09
They should focus on ergonomics. I guess you might want to add adjustable clip-ons or rear sets to enable riders to work out the best riding position for them. Both track enthusiasts and daily commuters would find that appealing.
What will the Pulsar RS250’s design do to its target audience?
31 January 2025 11:09
In case Bajaj takes an aggressive, race inspired design, they are going to surely catch the attention of the younger generation who dream of owning a supersport but can’t afford the larger bikes. If this product is picked up and sold, think college students and young professionals. A large hit could be generated.
Will the Bajaj Pulsar RS250 be a game changer in the quarter liter segment for Bajaj?
31 January 2025 11:09
I think it will be down to the character of the bike. If it is just a rebadged Dominar with fairings, it may not make it. If they have developed a proper sports bike with a rev happy engine and aggressive ergonomics, they will attract a lot of young riders.
Why does the RS250 have a headlight?
31 January 2025 11:02
I love the RS250's headlight! It sure does look badass and lights up the road like a Christmas tree. My old bike made night riding feel so much less safe. It may be something of an overkill for city use, but on pitch black highways, it truly is a godsend. It also makes the bike stand out from a sea of boring generic headlights.
Is the Bajaj Pulsar RS250 worth the hype?
31 January 2025 11:02
I’ve had the RS250 for about 6 months now and it has been a little bit of a let down. It looks cool, but the performance doesn’t quite live up to the aggressive styling. However, for a 250cc bike, I expected more oomph. It is also too committed for a riding position that will suit daily commutes. I am already thinking of switching to something more practical.
What is long ride experience like on the Pulsar RS250?
31 January 2025 11:02
I think the RS250 actually handles long rides well enough for most people to give it credit for. It is definitely sportier than the average tourer, and that only encourages it. At cruising speeds the engine is smooth and the handling levels confidence on twisty roads. A great weekend getaway bike with a tank bag for essentials. It isn’t going to feel like a Gold Wing, but I wouldn’t call it too uncomfortable.

Is the Activa 5G Limited Edition Actually Future-Proof or Just a Temporary Flex?

Does the Activa 5G Limited Edition Actually Improve Your Daily Commute?
31 January 2025 11:00

Is the Activa 5G Limited Edition a head-turner or just Honda's way of clearing old stock?
31 January 2025 11:00

Is the Honda Activa 5G Limited Edition Really Worth the Extra Cash?
31 January 2025 11:00
Nah, you're missing the point. It's not just about the looks. That LED headlamp is a game-changer for night rides. Plus, the 4-in-1 lock is super convenient. Sometimes small upgrades make a big difference in daily use.
The Honda Activa 5G Deluxe stands as a highly debated product regarding its market value.
31 January 2025 10:54
I've noticed this too! The quiet operation of Activas seems to be the main reason behind their perceived speed. Activa operators feel free to maneuver smoothly through traffic areas while operating under less audible conditions compared to heavier motorcycle engines.
What would make the Pulsar SS400 stand out from the crowd?
31 January 2025 10:54
Bajaj is likely to concentrate on tech features that will make the SS400 stand out. The fancy TFT display will have smartphone connectivity and perhaps even built in navigation. Alongside those details, they could also take a shot at ride modes and traction control to match more expensive bikes.
Is the Bajaj Pulsar SS400 worth all the hype?
31 January 2025 10:54
It’s not going to be able to compete with the established supersports. But that's not the point. Bajaj can deliver a great bike, which does look the part and offers decent performance at an affordable price and it can be a great entry level for those who want to get into sport bikes but don’t want to break the bank.
