R15 💙
RC200 🧡
Yes!!! Pleaseeeee
RC 🔥
Any day I have got in the R15 v4 , hey show me when you are coming with X-ring chains video , plzzzzzz
With frequent price hike i think passion pro would be perfect option to commute in the city :(
The particular aspect of going fast, in a polish way is Performance. But the actual meaning of Performance means to deliver all the functions or tasks it is assigned. In that context we can only rely on Passion Pro during such fuel hikes. So, passion pro is also a very high performing vehicle in its segment. LOL
@@_P.K. broooo🤣
@@_P.K. I got splendor it gives around 65kmpl so for me I will go for Bajaj CT 100 which gives 75-85 depending on how you drive.
@@kunwarnitinpathania7246 🤣
Dude even passion pro hiked 😂
Schumi- Oil grade matters, everything else is just a marketing gimmick...
Also Schumi- Shell Advance, maximum power protection and blue one is long ride protection..!!! 😅
Sponsors ka chakkar babu bhaiyya, sponsors ka chakkar...!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
P.s. its just a joke..!! 😅
Yeah it is much needed comparison. But for someone who looks for a sports bike in that price segment, Gixxer SF 250 is a nice option. Yeah, it' doesn't have USD forks or fancy meter console. But just based on how both the bikes are trying to be more user friendly and something having good performance with that price, SF 250 is a nice option to consider. Everyone is not going to track right. Common people may use these machines for daily use too as you mentioned in the video.
When it comes to performance, I felt Gixxer Sf has better performance than both of these too( just my personal experience).
Majority folks are superficial. Lucrative features always attracts them. What's really best for them always left unaware. If sf250 comes into discussion, comparison become irrelevant and sf will leave both of them in dust.
Absolutely right bro!! I ve sf250 n its 🔥
Being a KTM RC owner for past 1 year I clearly agree with you.
I bought RC for its damm looks and performance. Being in a metropolitan city like hyderabad I agree that these upright position bikes are very difficult to handle in city. In my friend circle we have various bikes such as Gixxer sf250 ,R15 v3, Mt15, Ns200 , R15M ,Duke 200 ,390 ,RC ,RS etc....
I feel that its better to go with street , naked bikes rather than a full fairing Bike ( In city Rides)
But Gixxer sf 250 is something else. Excellent riding comfort .It has excellent power, the cost of ownership and maintenance is low , good milage compared to RC 200,
The cost of the bike is low.
LOOKS ARE SUBJECTIVE....
In the second hand market u can find these bike as low as 1 lakh in great condition.
Its just my opinion bro
Gixxer 250 feels smaller than the RC 200 never ridden the Yamaha though.. And power is comparable to it also mileage is a little lower on the gixxer, in my opinion the Gixxer is the best looking bike in this segment
Its hard to choose between the RC200 and the R15 V4. They are both great bikes in thier respective form. The r15 is a good lightweight, easy to Ride bike for a beginner who is looking something fun to Ride. The engine is refined and gives better efficiency compared to RC200 also got good features like slipper clutch, Bluetooth connectivity,ect. But the RC200 is also better bike. It gets the job done by giving more.
it gets more power, its faster, its comfortable thanks to its soft suspension and it looks modern to . Sure it Misses some features like slipper clutch ect. But still the new RC200 feels like bigger bike.
Its realy confusing to choose 😅. Although my choice is the R15.
But If u love sports bikes like theses then either of them will not be disappointing choice.
You guys forgot the most important factor of picking one over the other in this day and age, the fuel efficiency.The R15 can give FE figures close to 60kmpl when one has a lighter wallet at the end of a month; also, still returning 35kmpl even if you rip the shit out of it. Even though these are sports bikes its not top shelf stuff like R1 or RC8 wherein the prospective buyer only thinks about the fun quotient when choosing his/her ride. The RC can at max return 38 kmpl when driven sedately and KTMs generally have twice the maintenance cost/parts failure rate when compared to a motorcycle from the Yamaha stable.
Meanwhile the underrated machine in this segment is the SF250 which is always under the radar because the media houses never brings it up in their comparos or reviews.
Remember, if you are getting 60kmpl on R15, trust me you are not doing justice with the engine. Engine with 155 cubic capacities is meant to be revved. I own it one and I'm getting it around 35 kmpl. No complaints! However, I agree with you that Gixxer SF250 is underrated. Top notch acceleration in 250 cubic capacities domain in Indian market.
@@Unkahin_Bakchodiyaan Absolutely, but there will some time when one would like to have a bit more efficiency(runs out of pocket money or cash strapped during month ends etc) and the R15 could do that is the point.
Talking about KTM. I have got 40+ kmpl on my Duke 200. Same engine. Also spares cost isnt that expensive. All spares are cheap. And the acceleration is phenomenal. No one can touch you in the city with this bike
60kmpl!!! really dude is in weeds 😂😂
@@jonjones18 maybe you are a dopehead blinded from the current civilization! One can extract 60kmpl from R15 when driven sedately. I own one so I know.
Can't believe how much RCs looks has grown on me since it's first leak
Same Here
Nhaa dude from all other angles bike looks fantastic accept front thy fucked up the front bro
Gti
Ii gcgch
U7u
The looks of rc 200 is getting up to people now. My choice is definitely rc 200.
Yes me too feels same.
Proud owner of a bs4 R15 v3. It's been three years with my beauty and not once did she gave me any major problems. To all of your surprise I mostly tour on it(clogged 18k+). My bike has ran more on highways than in the city. I hardly commute with it. For obvious reasons stated in the video. The only downside that I feel with this bike is nothing in the name of low end. And while the pillion is surprisingly comfortable but the rider isn't. It's a phenomenal machine and the way it looks oh lala, they way it rides and handles. I don't like riding any other bike now just in terms of refinement. Once you go Yamaha. All other brands let you down. Except Honda 😅
Have 2011 R15
Its been 11 years and its still awesome ❤️❤️❤️
lol 🤣🐢
Very true still have 2008 fz16 😍
The RC is clearly the better motorcycle here but for the amount of kit you get on the Yamaha, its a sweet deal. Besides, R15 has better colour options, making your toy more customizable.
Fun comparo!
Missed one important point though, at that Shell station only one hour ago I put petrol @rs121/L, and my V3 is giving upwards of 50kmpl so the petrol price hurts a little less you know...
For City riding, Apache 200 is a no brainer.
@Kumar Ankit that's why he said "no brainer" LOL. Ones with brain will pick up mt15,gixxer or even duke 200
Wow, what a smooth product placement. It totally gels with the video product. Hatts off to the marketing and writing team without saying how Shumi and Varun pull it off with ease 👍
I wish Powerdrift could have gifted me R15😜
Keep wishing brother.....maybe it will come true 😂
നോക്കി ഇരുന്നോ 😂
Giveaway
I wish pd could have gifted me xsr900
Shaadi krle daatej m mil jayega 😂😂
Sometimes i wonder, when they say, this bike Vibrates just little more, how do they measure it exactly?
You can feel it
I had the first year model of rc200 and toured the hell out of it, covering over 70k km in 5 years. Got a duke 390 after that and now I'm thinking to get the new rc200 as a second bike. It is just sooo goood!
I’m riding a R15 v2 since 2014 named it Popla. Now thought of buying another bike was thinking of duke 250 then rode R15 v4 and d250. Man the feel of yamaha is just brilliant. I wish R3 was still here
only on one condition "Bolo zuban kesari" xD. Varun am still laughing man 😂😂
I just started watching and I feel this battle will be own by KTM with new design and upright riding position
R15 is my favourite 150cc sports bike but the love for instant torque didn't make me sell my 220 yet.
You two make me feel like I'm watching the automotive version of Lethal Weapon.🤣🤣🤣
Love your content. Keep 'em coming.
Why don't you give your opinion driving the vehicle in city areas like the"Peth Areas"? Or is it that your city limits are confined to KP, Kalyani Nagar, etc?
Worthy video 🎥
RC VS R15
Varun sir, you missed that "See you later" at the end i was expecting that to come :(
Please do a touring review for the same set !
why not Gixxer 250 for city??
First time two brothers agreed and disagreed at the same time .. credit to both the bikes. 👍
i wonder they didn't even mention about the mileage difference between RC and R15 in city rides😂 R15 is way better in that area
The video feels less about the machines and more about product placement. Reasons are understandable, but a little disappointing...maybe coz PD is held to a much higher standard content-wise... :/
R15 V4 is reasonably priced says shumi, only comment of him I disagree so far 😂
Value for a middle class boy absolutely R15 V4 is the best. As price pov , Thank you PD❤️ no gimmick Genuine review!💥
middle class boy 😂😂
chor if u are in middle class whoever spend 2.2 lakhs in bike instead of home ,land or gold..
if u r in middle class still wants sports bike means pulsar 250 or xpulse 200 is the option within 1.5 lakhs .
watch ur words nigga
There isnt a big diffence now .between the rc and r15
@@pranavsm4368 yea
My Favourite is the BS3 Duke 390 which I Still own ,No Comparison Fullstop
I have a BS4 390 Duke and regret not buying the BS3 one near the start of the ban in 2017. The throttle response is very mellow in the BS4.
Is Shell really that awesome? Can you do a comparo of OILs ? I was really surprised the smoothness of the engine after I have put GULF... May be people want to know more about oils? If you have already done, then please ignore.
First comment but honestly
Think about it as having something that’s very race track commited and the other one is basically improved in all terms. Power wise KTM will always make it to the end but comfort, better features which a college student and an amateur rider can buy that’s Yamaha. So my vote is always for R15
Also in the current scenario the R15 can extract more of mileage which the KTM can never do.
Engine is so smooth at any gear and any rev band which makes it less vibrating and auto shifter adds the cherry on the cake
zubaan kaisri aise bulwara bhai jaise vimal nai video sponsor kiya ho! :P Shumi master to the rescue @0:40
Launch date of KTM RC 390 2022?
May.
R15 just need a bit more bottom-end grunt for city riding as it is pretty much gutless below 4K RPM rest everything is totally bonkers.
Proud V3 owner here ✌️
Even if they put four valve head onto existing fz25s cylinder block with a VVA tech, it will perform much better than R15 without costing too much.
It would... VVA would need liquid cooling, so prices will go up huge
without liquid cooling the thing would heat up like the sun
@@1993dragonite come man, there are some Ducati biks that runs in oil or totally air cooled
@@thedrifter8641 and they heat up like the sun, even liwuid cooled ducatis
@@athulskumar9361 bro it don't need to be liquid cooled and vva is means to control the flow of air into the cylinder so engine can give optimum performance throughout the rpm.
Finally a R15 video where Varun Painter is not head over heals. Such a fanboy and I understand that.
I am! Still! Head over heels* btw
Ya man. Shit happens 😅 typos are bad. And embarassing
Shell oil is free?
Sumi should dance in all videos from now on . 😂😂
Yo guys make a vid on mt,V3,v4 comparison vid plijj
R15 V4- I am the best😎
RC 200- I am the best 😎
GIXXER 250 SF- Joined the chat!
R15 v4 - Left....
RC 200 - Left....
Hope powedrift gifts me one of these someday!
see this vid! this doesnt feel low quality at all like the other car reviews on your channel, what happened PD?
Bro I am considering meteor 350, but I also have inclination towards Husqvarna, what do you think is a better buy? Because they both are now under 2.5L bracket.
Also r15 can also be considered as that will help me save some bucks but surely it must not be comfortable at all.
Meteor's seat heat is on lower side many can find it easy to get it and out and Husqvarna seat height is taller , Depends on your height and reach of the foot. Position of seating on both the bikes also differs alot , Take a test drive of both and choose which suits you
Which one should i go for ? Duke 200 or MT15 upcoming model ? I will mostly ride it on the city and highway also . ?
Mt
There are many different types of bikes in this segment.
You can look for various bikes depending on your budget.
Ex showroom price list
NS 200 - 1.36L
TVS Apache RTR 200 4V - 1.29L
Honda Hornet 2.0 - 1.33L
Mt 15 -1.5L
Pulsar N250-1.4 L
Duke 200 - 1.87 L
Duke 250- 2.29L
Dominar 250 -1.67 L
Dominar 400 - 2.36
If you want milage go for MT 15 or Hornet 2.0
If you want extreme performance go for Dominar 400 (same engine as ktm rc or duke 390). Its worthy at 2.36 L ex showroom
Performance go for Dominar 250 or Duke 250.
If you are comfortable with medium level of performance than you can go with either DUKE 200 or NS 200 .
If you want comfort check up the N 250.
It depends on your priorities and budget bro.
Bro please go for a test ride of each bike that I mentioned and various bikes in this segments.
Examine your budget and priorities
Still enjoying my lovely 2013 Fz-S
....R15 could have been the best ever beginners sport bike if it had been made with a 200 cc engine with atleast 23 to 24 bhp and around 20 nm of torque !!., the bike is under powered in low and mid range and too expensive for the performance being given, the bike surely has all the components of a true super sport like a perimeter frame, usd forks, uni track rear mono shock, alluminium swing arm, rear sets and clipons and so on but the bike is under power with no juice in the low revs !!!!😥😥😥😥
Agreed
Majority of us prefer r15 for the mileage it had been offered. So, Obviously the bike feel somewhat under powered.
@@rupakvardhan .....we r not supposed to pay over 2 lakh on road for a so called sport bike which is under powered, if it was about average then a fz15 is a faar better option at a much lower price then this .....one more thing!! A 200 cc yamaha engine would also return a sensible average of around 40 to 45 and the power would have made us bikers much more satisfied , magar afsos ke ye ho na saka aur ab ye aalam hai...........😂😂😂😥😥😥
@@rupakvardhan why are you looking for a sports bike if you so much about mileage. Get a smaller bike
@@abhi8441999 what if iam looking for both performance and mileage in a same bike?
R15 will be the only option left infront of me right?
Proud owner rc 200 new model 2022 from the Philippines 🇵🇭 very fun to rides, it gives you excitement!🔥🖤
Ako rin sir kapupurchase lang pero nasa kasa pa until pag uwi ko ng pinas saka ko kukunin hehe kumusta naman po performance rc nyo?
Much awaited comparison 😋🤩
We hope you liked it!
Enjoy loving shumi sir and Varun sir together in a video ♥️♥️
🥲🥲 i love oranges but I have blue no worries both are best in class, but i feel blue is 155cc super bike how engine changes its character how no limiters are present bikes goes 130+ easily . I love refinement of blue as compared to organe but Orange is still a love .
Which bike is best for UA-cam vlogs ?
Take it to a new by race track, oh that's easy to find one!!!
For primary city use chuck both n pick the mt15 for fun🔥
Duke 200 comes in then
@@adarshbhavsar122 then dumb that too and pick mt15 lol.
@@sathyaki duke 200 is powerful and better in every way lol. Looks, usd, bigger seats
@@adarshbhavsar122 costly too,lesser mileage,less long term durability,most dukes get engine works after 50-60k km. So mt is vfm. Looks are SUBJECTIVE.
@@adarshbhavsar122 If I want to buy a duke,I would rather dk 250
At the time Varun asked to shumi :"Kehna kya chahte ho?",
My mind : This line is from "3 idiots" movie😅
Then next Rancho aka Shumi explains 😀👌✌️
Do a comparison between cbr300r and the interceptor
Finally shell doing some sensible adverts ❤️❤️
The two legends of Indian sport bikes!
I vote NOTA. The Apache RTR 200 4V BS6 comes in at 1.7 Lakh on-road Mumbai.
It's all the motorcycle you'll ever need unless you intend to clock 150 kmph every day.
thinner tires
less mileage
5 gears
feels overweight
vibrations everywhere
these are some reasons people don"t go for apache.
Naked compared to a faired sports bike????
@@rupakvardhan rtr 200 v thinner tyre than R15?
More power
Refined engine
Better pick-up
6gear doesn't make big difference main thing is mode of bike and it's engine.
@@powerentertainment719 yamaha bike ke samne tvs ka bike refined mat bol bhai😂 and yes obviously r15 tires are wider.
@@rupakvardhan i am not comparing Yamaha and tvs refinement first understand what is said.
Love the r15 the engine is so reliable gives confidence in high and low engine rpm..........
sf250 kaha hai bhaiii?
❤️❤️❤️ PowerDrift
Awaiting for 'Kesari' 390
I drove a test ride bike R15 v4 with pillion, and it feels like a riding moped, yes seriously saying its overpriced bike and not worthy, if you have already 150 cc bike don't go for R15 v4
Price how much
Old RC is Love Anyday ❤️
May be it should be compared with RC-125 🥺, because it comes with same price
16k difference between R15M and RC200
RC 125 doesn't even deserve a mention..it's a waste of money.
where's Rohan Sir? he is not coming in any of the videos
Begining: Ajay devgan ki bacche😂😂
Could u please decrease the music beats volume in between the videos, its very annoying.
Proud to be a owner of yamaha R15 version 3 bs4 since 33 months completed 34000 kms 90 percent of my ride is long ride only touring getting a great mileage of 50+ 😎. Draw back is life of chain sprocket is 15-17000 KMS 😭 rest no problem. Refinement levels of yamaha is in par with KTM Bajaj and tvs 👍
Lol, Yamaha is much more refined than KTMs and Bajajs.

Gixxer 250 vs the pulsar 250 comparison? Possible?
We shall try for that Tanay!
@@powerdriftofficial thank you
Conclusion imo: If you want the KTM you'll know it.
If you're in a confusion between these two, you're most probably better with the R15..
R15 v1 with Daytona performance parts!
Yamaha we need a 180-200cc engine
Really want to see Shumi riding the R15v4
cbr 300r review when?
In terms of pricing Gixxer sf 250 is the best 😁
Look of RC is growing on me
Let's go yeah baby
I've picked RC 200 😀
sf250 ?
2nd time i am said to say i didn't like the video........ No hard feelings but i want pd to improve every day
Your solo videos are too good but not so good with duo.. i like how @zigwheel guys do duo's and comparo
But al always love pd
Bolo juba kesari 😂
Ek like toh Banta hai....Shumiji ke Dance ke liye.... :P
It's high time for Yamaha to get 125 cc and 200 cc bikes
Talking to GoPro ,I want this more.
😂
Bolo zubaan kesari...🤣🤣🤣🤣👌👌👌👌
Best if R15 comes with a 199cc engine
ninja 300 pls
Iam going to buy R15 for sure
Ktm Rc is best & I am duke lover
Mostly RC
R3 has already been launched In Euro5 worldwide.
What is the new excuse from Yamaha India now..!!
V4r15✌🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥................crush forever
Think of r2 in some point that has 200cc and yamaha prices it just below r3 🤣🤣🤣🤣
