Pros Cons of Hero XPulse 200

Pros

  • Comfortable Ergonomics
  • Refined engine
  • Rugged looks

Cons

  • Brakes
  • Needs more powerful motor
  • Vibrations 

Verdict

The bike certainly is not good value for money due to its high price and high fuel consumption. However, if you are looking for an adventure bike and a tourer at a time, with a power full 200CC engine and if you want to travel across on and off roads, it’s a good bike for you. It's relatively light, un-intimidating and promises proper adventure capability. The Hero XPulse 200 is one of its kind motorcycles, with no real competition.

Pros Cons Honda Activa 5G

Pros

  • Refined Engine
  • Honda’s superior service network.
  • Low maintenance.

Cons

  • The front brake doesn’t offer enough bite.
  • Outdated suspensions.
  • The plastic quality is not very adequate.

Verdict

Based on the features, technology and design, the Honda Activa 5G  is one of the most reliable scooters in the market.

Honda Activa 5G offers a smooth ride, comfortable ergonomics, along with an extended mileage of 60 kmpl.

Its qualities combinedly make it an ideal scooter for long drives and daily use but at a competitive price.

There is no doubt that the 5G model is a much enhanced and refined variant of its predecessors. However, most Indian riders who buy a scooter over a bike do so because of the former’s utility and features. Missing out on essential elements like telescopic suspensions and disc brakes can affect the scooter’s popularity, especially when the competitors provide the parts at the same price.

However, with just a few tweaks, such as stronger brakes, telescopic suspension, and a few more functional enhancements, Honda can comfortably justify 5G’s price.
