          Pros & Cons

          • Pros
          • Cons
          • Kawasaki Ninja 650

            • BS6-compliant version does not lose out on power
            • Features a modern TFT instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity
            • Rolls on grippier Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tyres

            Yamaha R3

            • Design - looks like a proper Japanese sportsbike and will grab a lot of attention
            • Versatile engine - tractable enough for city rides and rev-happy enough to enjoy being ridden hard
            • Handling - changes direction with minimal efforts and inspires a lot of confidence when tipped into corners
            • Comfort - tall clip-ons and a relatively upright riding posture means it’s quite comfortable for a sportsbike
          • Kawasaki Ninja 650

            • It has become expensive now
            • Not-so-exciting engine
            • Lacks sophisticated features like adjustable suspension, radial calipers and electronic aids

            Yamaha R3

            • Cramped lower body ergonomics - riders above 5’10 will find the lower body ergonomics quite tight
            • No features - quickshifter, traction control and every Bluetooth connectivity, the R3’s console misses out on a lot of things that other bikes in the segment offer as standard. All it gets is a digital console and ABS
            • A price tag of Rs 4,64,900 (ex-showroom Delhi) makes the R3 a very expensive bike
            • The R3 is expensive and not the best value for your money. That said, it’s still a very reliable, fri

            Adequate power + good mileage for a tourer
            It could possibly be a good bike for the tourers, especially the ones traveling inter-city or interstate. The bike's comfortable riding position and ergonomic control give the biker the pleasure to be on it while mile-munching on the highways and the bike is equally good on the in-city roads as well. Mileage-wise, the bikes return a comparably better fuel average than similarly priced bikes. But one can also consider the Suzuki GSX S750 for just a tiny buck more. It not only has 2 more cylinders to power itself but it also sports 46PS and a 17Nm surplus of power and torque over the Ninja 650. So the Ninja here is an entry-level adventure tourer where as the S750 is a naked street sports bike that can also be used as a sports tourer but still the Ninja650 will return much better fuel mileage than S750 ever can. Make sure u know what u want before finalizing either of them.

            Most Comfortable Bike
            This is the most comfortable bike that feels like sitting on the bed, and performance is next level. Its engine pickup is very nice, and it almost takes 5 seconds to touch 100kmph.

            The mileage should be increase
            The mileage is not bad but still bike performance is good and good looking bike mileage should be increase to 30-40 like they given to r15 v3 and v4
