Pulsar 200 RS Vs Honda CBR 250R- Battle of full-faired Sport-tourers
We don’t want a lot from life, simple things make us happy. For example, a motorcycle which looks good, performs well, returns good mileage and carries a low price tag is all that we as riders spend our lives seeking. In that spirit, today we are talking about two motorcycles named Pulsar 200RS and Honda CBR 250R both of which come to mind when seeking a fully faired budget sports tourer.
We have a lot of options in the sub 300 cc segment today and many of them are locally produced which offer great value for money. So, it only makes sense that we compare the new Ninja 400 with a recently launched local champion i.e. TVS Apache RR310, of similar characteristics and see if a motorcycle worth Rs 4.6 lakh is worth it or not.
The generation born in the 90’s knows Bajaj Pulsar as a household name. It is a motorcycle, whose story we don’t have to listen from our elders because we have grown up with it, literally. When we were teenagers we were presented with a simple design Pulsar, capable of everyday motorcycling needs and a little fun on empty roads. Now, when all of us have grown up, we have Pulsars which can scream their way up to 150 km/h. that’s the kind of relationship our generation has with the Pulsar. So let's take some time out in reliving its history.
Earlier the crown of the best supersport in 300-400 cc range was associated with KTM’s RC 390 but the recently launched Apache RR 310S offers almost the same performance at a better price point. Now, instead of just comparing the specs, let’s compare their everyday functionalities and decide which one is better worth your money.
I personally, don’t think that it’s a great idea, as TVS is one of the few companies out there that believes in innovation. They rely on proper upgrades instead of just slapping a fairing on a naked model and calling it a super sports. So I am going to talk about 5 reasons to back up my opinion, to not simply discard the old Apache series.

The motorcycle made its debut in the 2016 Auto Expo, and was then seen testing on the Indian roads by loads and loads of people for really long, it was initially named TVS Akula, meaning shark in Russian language. The motorcycle after lots of testing was launched in the Indian market and was finally named the Apache RR 310, which is a little disappointing when compared to the fancy name Akula.
When we talk about how powerful a motorcycle is, what actually we are referring to? is it the Power output of the bike's engine or the Torque figure? In fact, it is a matter of big debate ever since the first automobile engine was invented.
Auto Expo 2018 came with its set of new launches and among them, the most prominent one was the launch of the highly anticipated Yamaha R15 V3. This bike was already being sold in the international market but on 7th February 2018, it made its way to India. It’s a classic tale with a twist because the Indian spec R15 lacks USD and an ABS. This led to the young biker community in our country feeling a bit down. So let’s dissect this bike and take a look at all the worrying factors ourselves.
I'm Tharun currently working as a web designer and I'm a hardcore motorcyclist assuming the fact that not as hardcore as real bikers but at least to an extent. I watch a lot of motorcycle related stuff on the internet follow a lot Motovloggers and reviewers. I love anything that is fast enough to classify it perilous.
Nowadays in the world of modern motorcycling, the Trellis Frame is by far the most used and the most preferred frame among all others. In this the frame is made using aluminum or alloy tubular bars and are joint together in a triangular form using the cantilever method. This divides the load evenly across all ends of the frame and also allows for the frame to be lighter and able to carry a higher capacity of load.
