The best option out of both the selected bikes is the Yamaha R15. The bikes are having a lot of differences between them as they are made to target two different types of riders. Gixxer provides a relaxed ride whereas the R15 keeps you connected to the road with its aggressive riding position and an urge to pull the bike as much as possible. It comes with a 149.8 cc liquid cooled engine producing 16.8 BHP and 15 NM of torque. It gets an advantage of 6-speed transmission, fuel injection, a rear disc brake and aerodynamic fairing. On the other hand, the Gixxer wins on mileage with a 5-10 km extra mileage on each liter. R15 comes with a price tag of INR 1,14,241.

The best bike when you consider mileage as your first preference would be the Hero Hunk. It would return a mileage of approx 45 kmpl, which is more than R15's 35-40 kmpl. The Hunk is available in different variants, single disc brake and double disc brake. It comes with a 149.2 cc engine producing 14.2 BHP @ 8,500 rpm and 12.8 NM @ 6,500 rpm.

The best bike for racing is the Yamaha R15 version 2.0. No doubt, the Pulsar 200 NS comes with more power, making it fast on straight roads but when it comes to sharp and high speed cornering, it fails to stand before the R15. The R15 comes with an aerodynamically efficient design and it is even lightweight when compared to the Pulsar. The definite winner on the track would be the Yamaha R15. It comes with a confident and aggressive seating position, comparatively better design and the best tyres out of both. Handling terms are excellent on the R15 and so is the braking power, making it the best track bike in its category. It comes with a price tag of INR 1,14,241.

The Yamaha R15 does not have an option of pillion grab rails. The bike does not have any space or socket near to the seat of the pillion. It comes with a race inspired design and the pillion seat rests at a very high level than the rider seat, making it really difficult for the pillion to manage at high speeds. The only solution to this is the bending of the pillion to the front in order to be safe from the direct winds and small bumps. However, it is advised to stay up to 70 kmph in case a pillion is present. The bike is an excellent piece of engineering and the pillion seat is just for the Indian mentality of a bike being useless with a single seat. It comes with an excellent 149.8 cc single cylinder motor, paired to a 6-speed gearbox. It comes with a price tag of INR 1,14,241.

Yamaha R15 is the best bike...

Bajaj pulsar 220f is able to compete with the two. In terms of performance, PRICE, and fuel eficiency.. However, the looks of the 220f is outdated but the power is unquestionable. Bold. Direct to the point statement.

Easy to mentain and not very complicated components makes it easy to add more horsepower to it. The CBR150r has the best quality in terms of handling, engine, and looks compared to the outdated design of the 220f.

Everything is nicely engineered but the Price tag makes it limited only to the rich kids. And it Sucks Gas BIG TIME! The R15 has the best looks! The engine's technology is unmatched and the price is just between the cbr and 220f.

The fuel economy is also fair with its power output. In all these three great bikes, the CBR goes down to number 3 in my list due to its price and low gas milage and the horsepower was lowered at the last version 2015. The number 2 will be the pulsar 220f due to its many patented technologies, cheap price, and high gas mileage.

Downside is only the looks which can easily be modified to look better. The r15 being between the two in terms of all characteristics is my number 1 pick.

Bajaj Pulsar 220F is better.

Yamaha YZF-R15 is the best.

Without a doubt I would go for the Honda CBR 150R as it is most refined engine and better looking of all. The second choice would be R15, its started to look old since its arrival in India and other bikes are giving serious competition with respect to price when compared to this The last is pulsar 220F cause it’s the oldest version of bike and didn’t received any new updates since two years.

You should go for the Yamaha R15 out of the above 3 bikes as it brings the most premium ride quality out of all the above bikes. It comes with a lower seating position and a very refined engine. The 149.8 cc, liquid cooled motor comes with a lot of refinement, producing 16.8 BHP and 15 NM of torque. It comes with a six speed transmission and an excellent riding position. Its the best one out of all the above while cornering at high speeds. It comes with a twin headlight cluster, the best design available in all the sport bikes of entry level segment in India. It comes with a price tag of INR 1,14,241.
