Yamaha YZF-R15 V3.0 vs Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 | Comparison Test | Autocar India 

I would love to get an R15, but it's crazy expensive here in Mexico. The RS200 is cheaper, has ABS and produces 24.5 bhp. It's a no-brainer: the Pulsar is one step ahead in every regard.

Heart says: r15 Mind says: pulsar rs 200 Pocket says: second hand splendor

Heart says r15 and mind says rs 200

I can put it down as both the bikes are really awesome but there are few pros and cons associated with both. Just before buying RS 200 i took a test drive for Yamaha R15 V3 and following is what i can quote to the buyers:- 1) In terms of refinement and look Yamaha R15 V3 beats RS 200 hands down. amazing engine refinement with almost zero vibrations. 2) I personally found that RS 200 accelerates better as it has more BHP and Torque. That engine just doesn't know how to sweat even after running for 4 hours at a stretch. But then it has vibrations but they are manageable and not like Royal enfield bullets. 3) The riders triangle which you all will be aware off is much comfortable at RS 200 then Yamaha R15 V3. Even the seat of Pulsar RS 200 is more accommodating then Yamaha R15 V3. Wish we still had the option for Honda CBR 150R things could have been more engaging. That bike rests in between Yamaha R15 and Pulsar RS 200. Honda is no less than Yamaha when it comes to engineering. Anyways if you want a real comfortable sports kind of looking bike RS 200 can never be beaten and it will remain pick of customer who are more into daily commuting and highway riding and touring. But if you don't have any problem with the committed stance of R15 V3 then it is a great bike as its power on papers might look less than RS 200 but it is not at all slower than RS 200. Happy biking folks !!!!

I am a big fan of R15 and Yamaha but RS 200 is value for money

Around corners, there is nothing as forgiving as rs200 in this price range!

PULSAR ruling since 2001

As a owner of pulsar rs200 abs.. i will say that this machine is simply beast and value for money and has more power with abs and comfortable in city as well as touring on highway..

Trust me, RS200 is very much stable and fun to ride for long as well as short rides. Much more practical then r15.

12k for ABS is worth it saved my life many times

Nicely put together and well judged, and Rishad as always was composed !

rs200 looks dope beast +beauty ❤ one day i will get it

Nope.. if I have to choose I go for R15 V3. Strongly recommended that , rs200 is best tool for touring.

U guys are by far the most reliable channel out there today in India ... Everything you said in this video about both the bikes are spot on! The content delivered in this video was easy to comprehend and it was a pleasure watching this comparison! Thank you autocar for an unbiased review of these fabulous machines ....

I was also confused between the two but i purchased R15 V3 because of its superior quality. Bajaj is only for 20k kilometers.

Rs200 is full package of power,economy & comfort.

I was waiting for this. Thank you autocar for this

Team thanks for the great comparison's Was waiting for the same since long

So glad you do these reviews in English. Coming from the North East, my Hindi is not very good. Awesome video guys!

I think Yamaha should give it a 200 cc engine . The torque produce by the 150 cc motor is just 15 nm . This has ample power though but what use is that if we can't accelerate it faster

RS RS RS 😍♥️🔥....Good for long rides and city rides..

RS200 the Bahubali.......looks like Body builder strong.... i m going to buy tomorrow...Gongrats me...plz

1:40 Bumble Bee, did you just transformed into RS 200?

Rs200 Beast Bro🔥🔥❣

An excellent Shootout n good verdict.. The RS is an all-rounder while the R15 is a track specialist with that wonderful looks!! It's remarkable to see the new R15's engine performance which is so close to the bigger Pulsar!!

when it comes to bikes, it is obvious to go with powerful RS 200, over any other bike for sure

Best ever review bro nice one ❤️for your hard work Love from Hyderabad 🤘

Great reviews, great location. Where was this video shot pls?

R15 v3.. Quality and durability Stylish and fuel efficient with decent power...... Bajaj bikes can't give the confidence it offers while cornering

Hats off to all the team members of autocar for shooting video in rain.... Really a lot hard work but hard work pays off

2 years of RS200 experience and this bike still not fail to Surprise me 😍Thumbs up for R15V3looks but RS200 is a winner among the mid range bike in India

I'm getting a R15 V3 in march as my birthday gift ....it is the Queen of 150 segment 🤘🏻

Best video I have ever seen on this Thanks

R15 now gets dual channel. Abs. It is just the riding posture. I guess one gets used to it after riding it for a week or so and practically thinking, who wants to ride at 140kmph on a normal basis. Moreover the mileage is greater in V3 i guess. Personally I love the V3 but no hates to the Rs 200 because in the bajaj segmemt, RS200 is the one and only bike I would prefer. VVA and Deltabox lovers hit like 😉

Best ever comparison video from AutoCar India

Hey Autocar, where did you shoot the video? Looks amazing...

V3 is the beast in 155 cc segment is the king of 155 cc

*Proud owner of Pulsar RS200 ABS...my one & only **#RedBeast* 🤩😎🏍️🔥🚀😈

RS 200 makes more sense with the optional ABS. But R15v3 is such a beauty to look at, I mean I would buy it for its looks alone.

Rs200 is a beast

RS200-beast in 200cc motorcycles

Best review. Thanks.. plzz make a video on how to get maximum efficiency

Digital console of R15 obviously looks attractive...but the fact is Yamaha use same switchgear like Fz25 which is lesser price than V3..and same indicator setup (No LED)..Where in RS u got backled switches...which looks beautiful specially at night...and u got led indicator which is premium...

When u will compare ns200 vs rtr 200

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 for RS never ends 😘

Please do coverage of New 2018 Kawasaki Ninja 300 ( especially in blue color )

Thanks for this video i was confused between this two

Rs200 best ever

Superb work

Rs200 is almost forgotten now. I used to love the yellow color. I don't know why bajaj removes one of the best colors. Also dominar is almost its rival too. Almost for 30k to 35k extra we get bajaj's flagship. Also the abs variant of rs200 is a bit on the pricer side. Hope rs200 comes back again with some changes.

Do a comparison review on apache 310, Kawasaki ninja 300 ABS(2018), yamaha r3 ABS (2018) & Ktm rc 390

I would choose an R15 v3 for the built quality, refined engine, 140 rear tyres, led lights and awesome looks .... But RS200 inspite of the noisy looks its more practical with an affordable price, single channel abs, 200 cc ktm based engine, comfortable riding position which ultimately wins the game and the best value for money!

What you think About Adding RS indicator to V3 ?

Great video❤️

I always love the pulsar vibration while accelerating ...it is like adrenaline.

I really love r15 v3.0 hope soon ill buy it.

R15 v3 just needs a abs thats all

Best comparison ever 💪 the comparison i want

Please suggest me.. Which is preferable bike in city traffic and regular usage?

R15 looks so much better but its great to see Bajaj never giving up on the pulsar and always trying something new

*My favourite is rs 200* 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Can We change the rear suspension of r15 v3 ? for comfort n softer side ?

Thanx for the awesome review.... No doubt RS still rocks

we need more this type of cmprsn...

I believe the R15 is more fun because you can pin the throttle anytime, anywhere and while doing so plasters a smile on your face

RS200 sure looks better on paper but I am not sure how that engine would hold up after 40-50k KM. R15 seems to have better overall components and should be much more reliable in the long run but I do not own either so I can only guess :)

Very nice comparison. Where was this shot? Location looks amazing. R15 had TN plates. So I think location should be close to Chennai...

R15 v3 is the best beginners bike in India. Sexy look, super smooth engine, great performance 0 t0 100 in 10 sec, awesome f efficiency 30 to 52 kmpl, affordable, amazing handling, Japanese reliability, slippers clutch, perimeter frame, wider tyre, low set mono shock, low clip ons, high rear set pegs.......cons:no abs, brakes suck, headlight not bright enough........still r15 v3 is the best toy to hone your skills, yeeeeeeees yamaha!!👌👌👌👌

I'm not making hate between bajaj & Yamaha owners but although r15 v3 has ability to win race in track or long end races... specially in cornering....& 200rs is king on edging traffics & city rides ..but it's still great thing to watch how 155cc bike has compared with 200cc bike...&💖 I have both bikes & both are bad boys in their ways🔥🔥🔥

Super review bro

great review. thank for clear my mind. In Malaysia, r15 $500 usd more expensive than pulsar rs200.

R15 is just smooth to ride and comfortable..rs just has only power..after few years as we check rs will get engine problems..but yamaha engine is smart...if there is no ABS in R15 its perfect braking...its yamaha technology...

Bro there is any vibration in r15 ?

Rs is better in performance other hand R15 is better in Looks

R15v3 , proud owner for a month. Awesome bike.

Most probably the Pulsar RS200 is the bike I'll buy in future. A big NO to bikes without ABS. No compromise with safety on Indian roads, especially at speeds beyond 60 kph, which can kill one. Also, no fun riding a bike below 200 cc these days, decent power is the new normal now. Besides performance, rider comfort does matters a lot. However, my perspective is based on my experience with 160 km up and down journeys with the Dominar 400.

sir the r15 does have abs and the pulsar??

can you just tell me where did you shoot this video?😊😋 the roads look like heaven

Bro any other colour updates from yamaha r15v3 In india . ???

Man what a beautiful greenery environment

What’s the purpose of those grills near the swing arm?

Nice comparison video.. Rs 200 is the best bike

Bro.. where u shoot this video??? I love this place??

RS is better for indians And it looks good in white and blue paint scheme

*Hit like for Pulsar RS200!* 🤩🏍️🔥🚀😎

nice content bro hd and english

Still though R15v3 is 155cc segment it gives a hard challenge to RS... That's yamaha for u. The beast of all in 150 segment. 👍

I have searched for a lot and discussed btw a lot of people who owned bajaj rs 200 and yamaha r15 v2 everybody prefers yamaha bcz of quality its a well refined engine and in this video there they said mileage of 49 kmpl but here getting 55 in my r15 s and more than 50 in r15v3 owners but keep speed below 65 in 6th gear fuel efficency is excellent.. pulsar is not giving that much fuel economy as company suggested those who want raw power go for rs200.. ns 200 .. if u need optimum power and quality r15 is far better

Please give me the links to buy r15

I just love this place on which you shot.Where is the location guys?? Reply me

What should be the height to ride rs 200 comfortably in traffic

Autocar please make review of racing edition Apache rtr200 4v. Test it for touring, commuter and sport roles.

With that kind of riding position on the V3 you just don't get enough confidence and furthur it's a bit tough to go over the speed breakers on highspeeds .. The riding position is too commited I have neck , wrist pain whenever I ride my bike ...

Nice comparison man, I pick R15 over pulsar all day.

RS is Rocket bike..👌👌 Bcz Rs Have 24 bhp R1 have 20

Which one is best for cornering

Which place is that bro

Bajaj: Theres no replacement for displacement! Yamaha: Hold my beer...

Don't mess with rs200 (INDIAN 200cc Beast)

Please do a review video of the new R3
