What you see here is the Yamaha R15 V4 World GP 60th Anniversary Edition. Even though we have ridden the standard and M variants of the R15 previously, we felt this special edition needed a section of its own.

Should you be spending around Rs 1.83 lakh on the R15, or put in Rs 26,000 more and go for the bigger RC 200?

We have ridden the Yamaha R15 V4 previously, albeit for a short period wherein we couldn’t exploit the full potential of the heavy updates it has received. So, we did this time, and here is what we came back with.

While it’s derived from the road-going RR 310, this bike is a far-cry from its production counterpart.

The updates aren’t comprehensive enough to call it the next-generation model. In that case, is the Apache RR 310 still relevant and should you consider it?

We had a brief encounter with the G 310 RR and here’s what we returned with after spending a day with the motorcycle.

Two bikes. Two different body styles yet we’re doing a comparison test. Why? Because, both get almost the same set of features, technology and also the same set of buyers. And these bikes are easily the most accessible and affordable performance motorcycles under Rs 1.5 lakh. 

I was excited when I got an email from Bajaj Motorcycles to test their new motorcycle, the Pulsar RS200, at their Chakan test track. And there were two reasons - the Pulsar RS200 and the Chakan track. Over the last couple of months, we have written quite a few articles on the Pulsar RS200 ranging from it being spied around Pune to its name changing from SS200 to RS200. Honestly, I don’t think we have written so many spy pictures story for any another bike like we have done for the Pulsar RS200. It was the most anticipated motorcycle from Bajaj because it was going to open the doors of the budget fully-faired entry-level performance motorcycles. With India’s ever growing young population, the Pulsar RS200 seems to have attracted lot of interest. We take the Pulsar RS200 for a spin at Bajaj’s test track to find out how far it will take the legacy of the Pulsar brand.

We put the highly anticipated RS 457 through its paces in a comprehensive road test

The Aprilia RS 457 came as a bolt from the blue when it was spotted testing in India over a year ago. A twin-cylinder motorcycle by the Noale, Italy-headquartered company; made here in India. It was an indicator of how serious Aprilia was about making a bigger dent in the market.

Hero Karizma XMR 210 Long Term Review: Conclusion

The Hero Karizma XMR has done over 5000km since it arrived at BikeWale late last year. Of this, half the distance was covered on the highways, and that experience has already been discussed here.

The last two months of the year are always a great time for us. With a few motorcycle festivals being held in Goa, we get to spend a few days chilling with the fraternity. It was the same this time around and my plan was to take the Hero Karizma XMR – BikeWale’s long-termer – on a long ride and test its touring abilities.

The motorcycle is better on many fronts, which we verified not only in the real world but also at Bajaj’s testing track. As for those looking for a quick summary, here are the pros and cons of the new RC 200.
