Is Apollo Gumpert the peak of analog supercar design?
30 January 2025 10:04
The peak can't be the Apollo, it is too extreme. It's a better balance of usability and analog feel, something like the Porsche 911 GT3 (997 generation).
Is the Apollo Gumpert the ultimate sleeper supercar?
30 January 2025 10:04
Absolutely! The Apollo Gumpert is a sleeper supercar if ever there was one. Not pretty, but damn fast and can light up most of the 'popular' supercars on the track.
If the Apollo Gumpert had better marketing, could it have saved the company?
30 January 2025 10:04
They wouldn't have been saved by marketing alone. However, to compete with established brands, they required a wider range of products and a better dealer network.
How does F250 build quality and fit and finish stack up against premium 250cc offering?
30 January 2025 09:06
I was worried on the build quality coming from a KTM, but I've been pleasantly surprised. I feel as if it is a solid and well put together. My only weak point I've found is the mirrors, they vibrate a lot at high speeds.
So is the Pulsar F250 really worth paying a premium over the N250 for, or are you simply paying for looks?
30 January 2025 08:19
It depends on your priorities. The F250's fairing makes highway riding less tiring if that's what you do. If you commute in the city, the N250 is probably the smart choice. Consider how you’ll be using the bike the most.
Does the Pulsar 250F justify the premium over the 220F?
29 January 2025 12:21
It depends on your priorities. Go 250F if you want the latest tech and don’t mind paying extra. Still, if you’re on a budget, the 220F is still a solid choice.
Does the Bajaj Freedom 125 NG04 Drum’s long seat really work or is it just a gimmick after all?
29 January 2025 09:19
It's actually pretty awesome. When you're alone, you can slide back for a more relaxed ride; when you have a passenger, scoot forward. You can also strap stuff to the back part. It feels like it's a built in mini luggage rack.
Is the Bajaj Freedom 125 NG04 Drum really as fuel efficient as it claims to be, saving you 50% on fuel costs, or is it mere marketing gimmick?
29 January 2025 09:19
It depends on where you live and how you use the bike, I think. If you live in a city with good CNG infrastructure and you ride a lot, you could see those kinds of savings. But it's not one-size-fits-all.
Is the CNG system of Bajaj Freedom 125 NG04 Drum really practical for daily use?
29 January 2025 09:19
It seems brilliant for delivery guys or anyone who rides the same fixed route every day. This way they can save a ton of money in the long run, and plan their refueling.
Is the Bajaj Freedom 125 NG04 Drum a future classic or just plain weird because of its unique design?
29 January 2025 09:19
Well it’s definitely unique, that’s for sure. Twenty years from now, we might think of this as the bike that launched the CNG revolution. Could be a collector's item!
Are the skinny tires on Bajaj Freedom 125 NG04 Drum a deal breaker?
29 January 2025 09:19
It's all about context. The skinny tires are good for commuting in city and straight roads. If you're looking to do any spirited riding, or long trips, you might want to look elsewhere.
How does the Freedom 125 NG04 Disc’s instrument cluster measure up to modern standards?
29 January 2025 09:14
The Freedom's cluster is actually what I prefer, for its simplicity. The most important thing to remember when you’re riding is that it’s easy to read at a glance. Not everyone needs or wants a fancy digital display that’s hard to read in bright sunlight.
Is the extra cash spent on Bajaj Discover 125T Disc worth it, as compared to the drum brake version?
29 January 2025 07:46
Braking power is not all that it's about. It makes the disc look way cooler, and might even help with resale value down the line. If you are going to sell in a few years, worth considering.
Did the Discover 125 ST have a semi digital instrument cluster too early?
29 January 2025 07:39
I honestly did not think the fancy cluster was worth it. An experienced rider on a 125cc commuter like most of us barely, if ever, takes a look at his speedometer, let alone a tach. Instead of unnecessary bling, I would have preferred that Bajaj put that money in better brakes or suspension.
What makes the Discover 125 Drum Brake uncomfortable for some riders and perfect for tall riders?
29 January 2025 07:15
I think people are mixing 'good for tall riders' with 'good for big riders'. Yes, it's spacious, but the ergonomics are still the same as for a small bike. If you are tall and lanky, you will love it. Tall and broad? Not so much.
Is the Discover 125 Drum Brake’s suspension truly the 'bone jarring' reputation it has?
29 January 2025 07:15
The "bone-jarring" reputation is overblown. Now it’s not the plushest ride you’ve ever had, but it’s a long way from being the worst in its class. The firmness is good when you have a pillion or heavy loads, plus.
Is the Discover 125 Drum Brake braking system as inadequate as some riders say it is?
29 January 2025 07:15
It's a trade-off. Cheaper to maintain and less likely to be damaged, drum brakes are the type of brakes. For day to day commuting they are good enough. But yeah, more confidence would be nice, and discs would be nice to have.
Are owners actually right when they claim the Bajaj Discover 125 Drum Brake is truly 'indestructible'?
29 January 2025 07:15
Indestructible? That's just marketing hype, come on. It’s a decent commuter, but I’ve seen some Discover’s with troubles. It is very susceptible to problems with the electrical system. For its price range, it's tough, but let's not get carried away.
Why do some riders swear by the fuel efficiency of the Discover 125, while others complain it's a gas guzzler?
29 January 2025 07:15
Weight matters a lot. I’m a big guy and I usually have a lot of things with me. I don't get great mileage but my lighter friends with the same bike get much better efficiency. That's not a flaw in the bike, that's physics.
The Bajaj Discover 125 Drum Brake claims to be the commuter king, but is it?
29 January 2025 07:06
Having been a daily commuter for the past 3 years, I’d say the Discover 125 definitely deserves the tag of being the 'commuter king'. It is no joke when it comes to fuel efficiency, I easily get 65-70 kmpl in city riding. The engine is butter smooth and the seat comfy enough for my 30 km round trip. It’s not the most exciting ride, but it’s a sure thing when you want to get from A to B reliably and cheaply.
