TVS Apache 200 4V

TVS Apache RTR 200 4V is an excellent streetfighter bike from the Chennai based manufacturer. The bike is developed on the grounds of track racing pedigree of nearly four decades which brings out the real corner carvers form the bike.

TVS Apache 200 4V

The 2021 version of the bike now comes with more power and better performance from its 197.75cc engine. This motor is cooled by air and oil-cooling system and is a single cylinder in layout. The fuelling is done by race tuned fuel injection system which the company has developed for its new breed of BS6 sports bikes. The motor belts out 20.5 bhp of max power at 9000 rpm with 17.25 Nm twisting force at 7500 rpm. These numbers are in sports mode and the bike also has urban and rain mode that reduces the power to 17 bhp at 7800 rpm and 16.51 Nm torque at 5750 rpm.

The power is transferred to the rear wheel a 5-speed gearbox which is connected via a Race Tuned slipper clutch for excellent performance and seamless downshifting.

Bajaj Pulsar NS 200

The Pulsar NS 200 is the new generation Pulsar based on the engine derived from the KTM 200 Duke. It gets a rigid pressed steel perimeter frame that promises to offer excellent precision around the corners. The Pulsars are known for straight line stability and NS 200 is no slouch either. The price of the NS 200 is pegged at Rs 1.40 lakh ex-showroom, New Delhi which is pretty reasonable when compared to the KTM street bikes.

Bajaj Pulsar NS 200

Pulsar NS 200 is also the most powerful bike under Rs 1.5 lakh mark and also offers excellent performance. The bike does 0 to 100 kmph in about 11.6 seconds and the top speed is around 140 kmph.

Speaking about the fuel efficiency of the NS 200, the triple-spark engine burns the fuel more efficiently and offers a mileage of about 45 kmpl on the highways which reduces to 40 kmpl on the city roads. You can barely touch 500 km from its 12-litre tank capacity but it is still good when performance is taken into the consideration.

Bajaj Pulsar NS 200

The bike offers clip-on handlebar which is raised to a proper level allowing the rider to sit comfortably in an upright riding position. For both the rider and the pillion, there is enough space on the split seats of the bike. Therefore, the NS 200 is a great budget tourer under Rs 1.5 lakh. However, for better touring, you might want to add a taller visor for wind deflection.

Bajaj Pulsar NS 200 gets Burnt Red, Metallic Pearl White, Plasma Satin Blue and Pewter Grey colour options.

Bajaj Pulsar N250

The next bike on this list is the newly-launched Bajaj Pulsar N250. The new design managed to keep the muscular stance of the Pulsar but the face is completely new. It features LED lights all around be it headlamp, tail-lamp or the turn indicators. Main source of night light is now the new LED bi-projector lamp which will light up the roads at night time with grace.

Bajaj Pulsar N250

Next thing to talk about is the riding stance. The handlebar is bar-type unit offering shorter reach than the older generation Pulsar. Seats are split unit with the pillion seat stepped-up but offer decent size for the pillion. The rider sits with slight forward leaning posture which ensures sporty feel while riding the bike. This means that control over the bike will be more than before.

With the saddle height being at 790 mm, most riders will be able to ride the bike without any issue but some shorter riders might face problem. The front cowl is small and not a large bikini fairing as the older Pulsar.

The powertrain on the new Pulsar N250 is an all-new 249.07cc, air and oil-cooled, single-cylinder, four-stroke, fuel-injected, 2-valve SOHC engine. This engine pushes out respectable 24.1 bhp of power at 8750 rpm and 21.5 Nm twisting force at 6500 rpm. All this power is handled by a 5-speed gearbox which has balance gear ratios offering good low-end pickup in the city limits and respectable highway performance. It is the first time that original Pulsar family gets assist and slipper clutch which is light to pull and also helps in aggressive downshifting.

The suspension system on the N250 is handled by telescopic forks at the front and a gas-charged monoshock unit on the rear swing-arm. This setup is tuned towards offering a balance of both good cushioning as well as greater high-speed stability. When compared to the Duke 200 which is on the first rank on this list, the ride and handling of the Pulsar N250 is different and not as composed and accurate as you would get on the Duke 200.

Speaking about the performance, the N250 is fitted with more of a torque-rich engine rather than an outright high-revving performer as you see on the Duke 200 and Pulsar NS 200. Due to this torquey factor, the company plonked a 5-speed gearbox instead of 6-speed unit. The bike offers high torque right from 3000 rpm which makes N250 a great machine to ride on the city roads.

On the dashboard, there is a semi-digital instrumentation with analogue tachometer and LCD screen for rest of the readouts like speedometer, odometer, trip meters, fuel gauge, gear position indicator, average and instantaneous fuel consumption, distance to empty and digital clock.

Bajaj Pulsar N250

Finally, we talk about the mileage; the new Pulsar N250 can deliver around 40 kmpl on the highways and 35 kmpl in the city riding conditions. The fuel tank volume is now reduced to 14 litres and even with this volume; anyone can extract a range of over 500 km in a single tankful. If you plan for a tour, the range is respectable.

It is the braking department where this bike lacks a lot. Despite having 300 mm front disc brake and 230 mm rear disc brake, the bike safety net is provided only by option of a single channel and dual-channel ABS. Colours on the Pulsar N250 are Techno Grey, Racing Red and Brooklyn Black.

Yamaha FZ25

Up next we have the most affordable 250cc bike in the Indian market, the Yamaha FZ25. It is a bike made by Yamaha for comfortable city riding. The FZ25 is a basic quarter litre bike which delivers on the promise of stress-free city commuting as well as long distance touring. It is now priced at Rs 1.48 lakh ex-showroom, New Delhi.

Yamaha FZ25

At the heart of the FZ25 is a 249cc, single cylinder, air and oil-cooled, 2-valve fuel injected engine. This mill belts out 20.51 bhp at 8000 rpm and a peak torque of 20.1 Nm at 6000 rpm and is mated to a 5-speed gearbox for city-oriented performance. The FZ25 sprints from 0 to 100 kmph in 10.6 seconds with a top speed of 130 kmph.

It delivers a mileage of over 40 kmpl on day to day riding and highway mileage which is great for a quarter litre motorcycle. It also gets a 14-litre tank capacity, which provides a range of nearly 500 km.

Yamaha FZ25

The best part of the FZ25 is its well-padded seats and well-tuned suspension setup with a slight bend towards being a stiffer unit. There is enough support for day to day riding and the high-speed stability is praiseworthy. Colours on the FZ25 are Metallic Black, Racing Blue, Matte Copper and Matte Black.

Yamaha MT-15 V2

Let’s move into the premium street bikes that are available in the Indian market. The first bike in the premium street bikes is Yamaha MT-15 V2. The MT-15 V2 is a naked bike which is based on the platform of the Yamaha R15 version 4.0. The similarities between both the bikes are the shared deltabox platform, similar suspension, tyres, braking system as well as the swingarm. It carries a price tag of Rs 1.64 lakh ex-showroom, New Delhi.

Yamaha MT-15 V2

The MT-15 V2 is propelled by a liquid-cooled, single cylinder, fuel injected, 4-valve engine. This mill churns out 18.23 bhp at 10,000 rpm and 13.9 Nm torque at 8500 rpm. It is paired with a 6-speed gearbox with short gearing for strong initial pick-up and thus the top speed is lower than the R15.

The fuel efficiency of the MT-15 is in the range of 40 kmpl in mixed riding conditions. Expect the tank range to be around 450 km from its 10-litre fuel tank capacity. The pillion rider gets less space due to small seat but the rider gets ample space to adjust while on the run.

Yamaha MT-15 V2

Yamaha MT-15 V2 is a compact motorcycle and the handlebar reach is short allowing for an aggressive riding stance. The seat height is 810 mm and due to a kerb weight of 138 kg, the bike is easy to manage in the city traffic. It gets a LED projector lamp for perfect illumination during night rides. It features smart colours options – Cyan Blue, Ice Fluo Vermilion, Metallic Black, Racing Blue and MotoGP Edition.

KTM Duke 125

The first bike in the list of new KTM bikes is the Duke 125. It is the most affordable KTM bike in India as of now and is expected to remain the same for years to come. Even in the international markets, KTM do not have any bike under 125cc segment and thus is will always be the entry-level bike for the KTM fanboys. Colours on this machine are Electronic Orange and Ceramic White.

The things which make the Duke 125 expensive and premium are the presence of components of exceptional quality sourced from the premium component manufacturers. Also, the KTM brand name doesn’t come for cheap. There is well versed KTM DNA embedded in the heart and the riding dynamics of the machine. Once, the engine is ignited, the exhaust note, though a lot light, provides the aural feeling of a pure KTM machine.

KTM Duke 125

The KTM 125 Duke is propelled by a 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, 124.71cc, single-cylinder engine with a 4-valve head. This mill belts out 14.3 bhp of power at 9250 rpm and 12 Nm twisting force at 8000 rpm. A 6-speed gearbox handles the power transmission duties and is well-suited for the engine which it is connected to.

The performance of the 125 Duke is nothing to write home about, the performance is sluggish for a KTM branded bike as the kerb weight of the bike is 159 which is in the ballpark of most 200 to 250 cc machines in the market. Once the throttle is twisted to the max, the bike moves forward hitting 100 kmph in around 20 seconds and manages to touch a top speed of 105 to 110 kmph depending on the trail or head winds and the weight of the rider.

Speaking about the mileage, the best part of being propelled by a small engine is that you get a great mileage for a bike which is made to be driven fast. The Duke 125 can return an average fuel economy of about 40 kmph. And with a 13.5-litre fuel tank capacity, the riding range that it offers is over 400 km in a single tankful. The main gripe is the high weight of the bike and the wide tyres it uses.

There is a fully digital multi-information display on the dashboard which provides plethora of information to the rider. You get speedometer, odometer, trip meters, fuel gauge, engine coolant temperature gauge, instantaneous fuel efficiency, average fuel efficiency, distance to empty and much more. The headlight is a halogen bulb with reflector while the rest of the lighting is LED unit including the taillight and the turn indicators.

That being said, the components that makes the Duke as expensive as a 250 cc motorcycle is the presence of thick USD forks at the front end with adjustable monoshock at the rear. This setup is tuned to offer track racing handling and agility but robs the bike from providing a comfortable riding experience to the rider in the city roads.

KTM Duke 125

Duke 125 is built around a steel-trellis frame which is highly rigid and the 125cc engine is nowhere near to overwhelm the rigidity by any means. With stiff suspension setup, the bike’s dynamics is top notch it doesn’t deviate from its line of attack.

The braking department on the KTM 125 Duke is handled by 300 mm disc at the front with radially mounted callipers for enhanced feedback and the response. At the rear, you get a 230 mm disc brake unit with floating calliper. The safety net is offered by a single channel ABS for better braking performance.

Targeted at the new generators of motorcycle riders in the metro cities, tier 1 and tier 2 cities, the KTM 125 Duke is a bike which finds many new homes every month and initiates the making of new breed of motorcyclists.

Suzuki Gixxer 250

Now we have the Gixxer 250 from the house of Suzuki. It is a stylish and sporty streetfighter motorcycle made for the young professionals looking for a visually appealing naked bike to roam around the city and also capable machine for highway touring. The Gixxer 250 offers ample performance for day to day usage and also suitable for long hauls. It carries a price tag of Rs 1.81 lakh ex-showroom, New Delhi.

Suzuki Gixxer 250

The Gixxer features an accessible saddle height for most riders which is raised form the rear for a keeping the spine of the rider in an angle to reduce the lower back pain. Also, the pillion seat is also small for a comfortable long tour which forces the owner to take a solo trip with comfortable posture. The handlebar is raised enough that prevents any leaning and makes Gixxer 250 a relaxed commuting machine as well.

At the core of the Gixxer 250 is an oil-cooled, single cylinder, 249cc, fuel injected engine. This mill uses a 4-valve head for efficient breathing and thus belts out 26.1 bhp at 9300 rpm with 22.2 Nm of torque at 7300 rpm. A 6-speed gearbox handles the reduction duties. The bike hits 100 kmph in about 9 seconds with a top speed of over 150 kmph.

Suzuki Gixxer 250

On an average day, the Gixxer 250 returns about 35 kmpl of mileage and the 12-litre tank capacity will provide a riding range of over 400 km in a single tankful. It is available in Metallic Matte Black and Metallic Triton Blue colour options.

KTM Duke 200

Up next, we have most popular KTM bike in the Indian market, the 200 Duke which was also among the first KTM motorcycle to land on Indian shores. Back then, it was the most potent and powerful bike in the segment with nearly 25 bhp from a 200cc engine. However, this number is still available in the BS6 avatar but the overall chassis and the engine character is changed towards a more mature one.

KTM 200 Duke is available in Electronic Orange and Dark Silver Metallic colours.

The explosive KTM 200 Duke is priced at Rs 1.91 lakh ex-showroom, New Delhi and it has lost most of its value for money quotient due to steady increase in the price tag for almost similar specs and feature list. However, one positive has happened as the company now supply the KTM 200 Duke with a dual-channel ABS for superior safety net along with the ability of the rider to trust on the braking system under emergency circumstances.

KTM Duke 200

Like all other Duke motorcycle form the KTM, the design language is pretty similar to the 125 Duke, 250 Duke as well as the 390 Duke. All these bikes use same chassis and the suspension with little tweaks. The tyres on all the Duke streetfighter motorcycles are 110 mm and 150 mm cross-section units at the front and the rear.

The 200 Duke is powered by a 199.5cc, 4-stroke, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine which breathes through a 4-valve DOHC head. This powerplant pumps out 24.6 bhp of power at 10,000 rpm and 19.3 Nm torque at 8000 rpm. The 6-speed gearbox is short-geared unit that is paired with the engine via a wet multi-plate clutch.

As the engines are detuned from within due to BS6 emission norms, the acceleration of the Duke 200 has been reduced and the bike now takes over 10 seconds, 10.15 seconds to be precise, to hit 100 kmph mark from standstill. The top speed of the bike is now 130 kmph as engine rpm is cut-off at 10500 rpm so that it doesn’t rev in the red line and damage the internal parts of the engine and also to keep it cool. The new chassis is also the reason for the reduced performance as the BS6 KTM 200 Duke weighs in at 159 kg.

The Austrian has ditched the older streetfighter design and used the heavier and more mature chassis from the Duke 250. It gets a sharp front end and rear end with halogen bulb assembly at the front with full LED lighting for rest of the bike. The seat height now stands at 830 mm making it a bit higher for the short riders. Previously, the seat height of the Duke 200 was 800 mm which was accessible by shorter riders.

There is a fully digital multi-information display on the dashboard of the Duke 200 which is a direct lift from other KTM bikes on sale in India. Feature-wise, the instrument console comes with a speedometer, odometer, trip meters, fuel gauge, gear position indicator, shift light, engine coolant temperature gauge, instantaneous fuel efficiency, average fuel efficiency, distance to empty and much more.

The fuel efficiency of the Duke 200 lies in the range of 30 to 35 kmpl which is sufficient after looking at the fire-breather of an engine it comes with. A 13.5-litre fuel tank capacity will provide a riding range of over 400 km in a single tankful.

KTM Duke 200

The riding posture of the Duke 200 is a pretty upright and also aggressive as the handlebar are short reach and the rider can have full control over the bike. With USD forks at the front and adjustable monoshock suspension at the rear, the Duke 200 offer hard ride quality and it feels planted and confident-inspiring around the corners. But this same suspension setup sends all the jolts to your spine on a bad patch of road.

KTM 200 Duke is brought to a halt by a 300 mm disc at the front which is gripped by radially mounted calliper and a 230 mm rear disc gripped by floating callipers. Rider feel safe while riding aggressively as the bike comes equipped with a dual channel ABS for total braking control.

For over eight years and still counting, the KTM 200 Duke will be the highest selling bike in KTM’s product portfolio as it checks all the right boxes of performance, dynamics, premium components, aggressive streetfighter persona as well as the popularity of the KTM brand.

Honda CB300F

Up next we have a premium streetfighter bike from the house of Honda. Honda CB300F is priced at Rs 2.26 lakh ex-showroom for the Deluxe variant and Rs 2.29 lakh for Deluxe Pro variant. The bike retails only through premium Bigwing dealerships. It is available in Red, Blue and Grey colour options.

Honda CB300F

When looked from far, CB300F feels like another Hornet 2.0 because its overall design is similar to the younger Honda. However, from a closer look, one can distinguish it from the Hornet because of its mature and evolved design language. It has similar fat golden USD forks which enhances its road presence. At this premium point, the CB300F comes equipped with full LED lighting including the headlight, taillight and the turn indicators.

On the power train front, the CB300F is powered by an oil-cooled, single-cylinder, fuel-injected, 293.52cc engine breathing through a 4-valve head. This BS6 engine generates respectable 24.14 bhp at 7500 rpm and 25.6 Nm peak torque at 5500 rpm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox with good mix of tall gearing that allows the bike to be ridden out on the highways. Expect a fuel economy of around 32 kmpl in city rides that can go up to 36 kmpl on the highways. A 14-litre fuel tank can deliver 420 to 440 km of range in a single tankful.

Speaking about the instrumentation, the all-digital cluster all the functionality like speedometer, odometer, tachometer, trip-meters, fuel gauge, gear position indicator, instantaneous and average fuel efficiency and more. For the rider, the seat is well-padded and offers good level of comfort to the rider. However, the riding posture is slightly forward leaning to deliver a sportier riding stance.

A pair of golden USD forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear offers balanced ride quality which can take on the bad roads with ease and also provide confidence around the corners.

CFMoto 300NK

The most affordable and entry-level bike in CFMoto line-up is the 300 NK. The word NK means Naked and the term CF in the brand name translates into Spring Awakening and the brand is here to awaken the spirits of enthusiast motorcycle riders in India with its hooligan performance bikes.

CFMoto NK 300 is a naked bike which has been positioned opposite to the KTM 250 Duke in India and comes with a larger engine and obviously better performance too. Apart from that, unlike any other Chinese manufacturer, CFMoto has its own design language and offers striking edges and curves to the NK 300. From all the angles, the bike look completely proportionate is it headlight cluster, fuel tank, side profile or the rear fender and the taillight.

CFMoto 300NK

It comes in two colour options – One is Grey with Blue Frame and Alloys and the other one is Black with grey contrast and black frame and alloys. Black is more contemporary and gel well with the masses while the grey colour with light blue alloy wheels is kind of trendy and is completely subjected to one’s perspective.

Moving on to the design, the CFMoto 300 NK features full LED headlight unit at the front with tapered shaped which looks cool and edgy. The fuel tank is muscular one and offer good knee recess for the rider to hold on to, the tank extensions and radiator guard makes it look like the mighty KTM 790 Duke.

CFMoto 300 NK features flat handlebar and is not too far from the rider and thus ride sit comfortably upright while riding. This means you can easily potter around the town and also take the bike on weekend getaways without comfort issues. The pillion seat is decent sized and a pillion can stay comfortable for a couple of hours and not more than that. It offers a saddle height of 795 mm which will be accessible for more riders out there contrary to 250 Duke’s 830 mm.

The reason CFMoto 300 NK resembles KTM bikes is that both the companies get their designs ready from same company KISKA.

With a kerb weight of just 151 kg, the 300 NK is among the lightest in its class as most 200cc bikes weight greater than this number. Hence, the entry-level CFMoto motorcycle will be easy to manage and agile to handle in and around the corners. It is built around steel-trellis frame which is rigid and offers great handling characteristics and nimbleness to the 300 NK.

The length width and the height of the bike is 1990 mm, 780 mm and 1070 mm respectively. It comes with a wheelbase of 1360 mm which makes it good for high agility and low turning diameter of 4.7 metres. The ground clearance stands at 150 mm which might be low but stiffer suspension prevents any kind of underbody scrapping over the bumps.

Moving on to the powertrain, the CFMoto 300 NK is powered by a 4-stroke, single-cylinder, 292.4cc, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine with 4-valve DOHC head and balancer shaft. The balancer shaft ensures that no annoying vibrations are felt on the handlebar, fuel tank and the footpegs making it a smooth and comfortable to ride motorcycle.

This powerplant churns out a max power of 27.49 bhp at 8750 rpm and peak torque of 25 Nm arrives at 7000 rpm. Here, the 300 NK offers lesser power than the Duke 250 but torque is greater. A 6-speed gearbox is paired with the engine which has taller gear ratios to stay stress-free in the city as well as highway rides.

Coming to the performance, the CFMoto 300 NK is expected to performance better the Duke 300 with 0 to 100 kmph coming up under 9 seconds and top speed is around 140 kmph. These numbers are just perfect for Indian cities and highway rides. You can easily cruise on the highways at 100 kmph without any strain in the engine. Taller gearing always helps in the stress-free highway rides.

The bike comes with a 12.5-litre fuel tank capacity which means an average mileage of 28 kmpl can provide you with a riding range of around 350 km from a single tankful of petrol. This number might not look too great out on the highways but considering 300 NK is a city-oriented streetfighter bike, it justifies.

Coming to the instrument cluster, the bike gets a full-colour TFT screen with a plethora of information onboard. There are two ride modes as well – Rain and Sport. The rain mode reduces the throttle response and increases the ABS intervention while the Sport mode goes full nuts with instant throttle response and least ABS intervention for enthusiastically riding. There is speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, odometer, trip computer, engine coolant temperature among other on the TFT display. This meter console changes its lighting in day light and night light which is a comforting feature.

CFMoto 300NK

The suspension system is comprised of USD forks at the front and monoshock at the rear which are tuned towards a stiffer side for providing sports class handling and cornering ability. That means you are required to slow down on the rumble strips and broken patches of roads to keep your spine intact.

CFMoto 300 NK rides on 110/70 R17 and 140/60 R17 at the front and the rear respectively. These tyres are sourced from a Chinese manufacturer while you can change them to MRF, Pirelli or the Metzeler any day. The braking department comes loaded with disc brake son both ends with a larger rotor at the front and small rotor at the rear with unspecified diameter. These rotors are gripped by J Juan callipers at both ends. There is a dual channel ABS for safety net around the rider on slippery roads and roads with gravel layer.

Speaking about the rivals, the CFMoto 300 NK rivals the likes of KTM Duke 250 and BMW G 310 R. which are priced at Rs 2.37 lakh ex-showroom and Rs 2.7 lakh ex-showroom respectively.

KTM Duke 250

The next bike from KTM is the Duke 250. It is an intermediate streetfighter motorcycle from KTM that has best from both the worlds. It has better performance than the 200cc Duke and offers better fuel efficiency when compared to the 390 Duke. Also, it sits well in the middle of two extremes at just Rs 2.37 lakh ex-showroom, New Delhi. Dark Galvano and Ebony Black are the two colours available on the KTM Duke 250.

KTM Duke 250

Speaking about the design, the Duke 250 comes with a sharp new-age street-fighter design language with pointing tank extensions and edgy headlight assembly with halogen bulb for illuminating the roads. The handlebar is raised enough for rider to sit upright while riding. Also, the fuel tank is quite small in dimension and thus rider gets an aggressive riding posture. It is aggressive enough to take on the city roads and perfect machine for weekend getaways.

KTM Duke 250 draws its power from a 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, 248.8 cc, single-cylinder engine that breathes through a 4-valve DOHC head. This mill deals out 29.6 bhp of power at 9000 rpm and 24 Nm of torque at 7500 rpm. A 6-speed transmission is connected with the motor guarantying overwhelming acceleration. The sprint from 0 to 100 kmph takes about 9 seconds and the bike pulls up until it reaches a speed of 142 kmph.

Being a powerful streetfighter, the Duke 250 manages to return a fuel economy of about 30 kmpl in mixed riding conditions and can return below 30 kmpl due to too many gear changes owing to short gear ratios. There is a 13.5-litre fuel tank that can deliver a riding range of over 350 km in mixed riding while touching 400 km in a single tankful on highway runs.

Like all other KTM bikes available, there is a small but useful fully-digital multi-information display fitted on the dashboard. This orange-backlit meter console comes with a speedometer, odometer, trip meters, fuel gauge, gear position indicator, shift light, engine coolant temperature gauge, instantaneous fuel efficiency, average fuel efficiency, distance to empty and much more.

KTM Duke 250

Similar to other KTM bikes, the Duke 250 is equipped with fat USD forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear which is adjustable for preload. This setup is on the stiffer side and offers great confidence around the corners but unsettles the rider on bad patches of roads as each jolt is felt on the spine and one must need to slow down on the unpaved roads.

A 300 mm front disc with radially mounted 4-piston calliper at the front and 230 mm rear disc does the work of anchoring the bike. Further safety to the rider is offered by a dual-channel ABS.

Honda discontinued the BS4 version of the bike and launched it in India again in BS6 avatar. As a typical Honda trait, CB300R has been priced too high up the ladder surpassing the price of BMW G 310R at Rs 2.77 lakh ex-showroom New Delhi. It gets Red and Black colour options.

Honda CB300R

Coming to the engine, the CB300R receives a modern heart with liquid-cooling and 4-valve SOHC head.

It gets a painfully small fuel tank capacity 9.7-litre fuel tank can provide only around 300 km of riding range in a single tankful.

The instrument cluster of the CB300R is of premium standard but could have been a colourful TFT console to further up the game. This full-digital meter provides all the functionality like speedometer, odometer, tachometer, trip-meters, fuel gauge, gear position indicator, instantaneous and average fuel efficiency and more.

Honda CB300R

KTM Duke 390

Now we have the most powerful streetfighter motorcycle from the house of KTM. The KTM 390 Duke is at the pinnacle of single-cylinder streetfighter motorcycles in the country. The price to power ratio or the price to fun ratio is at the peak on the KTM Duke 390. There is no direct competition of the motorcycle from any brand in the country.

KTM 390 Duke has two colours to choose from Dark Galvano and Liquid Metal.

KTM Duke 390

Its cousin, the Dominar 400 is a far-fetched hyper touring machine and comes nowhere near to the character offered by the 390 Duke. The bike is too powerful to be given to anyone as a rider is required to have enough riding experience to ride the 390 Duke safely without meeting with accidents due to overly powerful engine that jumps for power wheelies every now and then.

The Duke 390 comes with a price tag of Rs 2.96 lakh ex-showroom, New Delhi which is the result of a series of price hikes and BS6 emission norms. Its price was unaffected during the introduction of safety norms as 390 Duke came with dual channel ABS from the day one.

The KTM 390 Duke is fitted with a short-stroke, liquid-cooled, 373.2cc, fuel-injected, single-cylinder engine breathing via a 4-valve DOHC head. This piece of engineering puts out massive 42.9 bhp of power at 9000 rpm and rock bending torque of 37 Nm at 7000 rpm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed transmission which is on the taller side.

The Duke 390 hits 100 kmph mark in just 5.5 seconds as the first gear take the bike to over 70 kmph and second gear is the one which crosses 100 kmph mark. It has enough power to keep pulling and hit the top speed of around 170 kmph.

As you settle yourself on the 830 mm high saddle, you will be greeted by a full-colour TFT instrument cluster that offers a range of information such as a speedometer, odometer, trip meters, fuel gauge, gear position indicator, shift light, engine coolant temperature gauge, instantaneous fuel efficiency, average fuel efficiency, distance to empty and much more. You can also connect the console with your smartphone and get turn-by-turn GPS navigation right on the meter. It is by far the most advanced and feature-rich console on any bike sold by KTM.

KTM Duke 390

KTM 390 Duke is built around steel-trellis frame which is highly rigid and offers great stability around the corners and also has quick lane changes capabilities. Is provides great confidence to the rider while carving the corners whether in the hilly regions or on the race tracks. A pair of USD forks is present at the front and an adjustable monoshock unit is connected to the rear swingarm. This setup is stiff for greater stability and might unsettle on the bad patch of roads.
