Bajaj vs Hero Honda · DIGIT-ARC

Hey guys this is the new thread i'm posting. Its about Bajaj vs Hero Honda.

Please post your reviews about this hot topic and also vote.

Myself, i'm supporter of Bajaj and acc. to me Hero Honda sucks.

they introduce their so called crappy bike in the late 80's and we're still suffering from their sick 97 cc engine. They have stil not changed that engine and continue to sell it to this date. They do nothing in terms of R&D. Only thing is that do is to change the paint job and just add plus sign to their bikes.

On the other hand, Bajaj intoduces something new every year. They revamp thier bikes every year, as we have seen Pulsar. Their pricing is also right and their technology is also perfact.

Please guys, post your views and also vote on the forum.

Bajaj is a good motorcycle manufacturer, and that depends on which of their bikes you are talking about. I have an Avenger, which is really good. Then Pulsar is good too, and I'm not so sure about the lower end

heard they suck, but you should also see the type of people who drive those and the expectations they have for the money they pay.

^LOL.. till now 100% Votes for Hamara BAJAJ... No one for fights in fight club

Hero Honda is known for its service and reliability and Bajaj is known for innovation.
BTW i dont think that they compete in the same segments currently.
Herohonda wins in the 100 cc segment (Splendor > Platina)
and baja wins in the 125/135/150+ cc.
Dunno if Hunk ll beat Pulsar.

Bajaj motorcycle service is good too, so is their breakdown service here in Mangalore. I got stuck once due to water in the petrol. Have started filling at Shell since. One thing I like about Bajaj is service and parts are affordable. You can keep going to the company for maintainance. They have a good system too. An executive collects your vehicle, and gives it to you when you leave. There is no interaction with the mechanic so no need to tip. Some may argue its not a good thing

I have a Discover 125 and i am very much pleased with it. Bajaj's engines are superb in performance and now in fuel efficiency also. If taken proper care, they run like a beast. The only problem that i found in bajaj mcycles is their sound, its a little much as the bike gets older.

Hello!

I like Hero Honda bikes very much because their models are attractive and trendy but Bajaj scooters and bikes are not good looking.

me and my frnd have bought bikes in jan 2007. I took HeroHonda Glamour 125 wit Disc brks he took Bajaj Discover DTSi. Now let me explain the conditions of our bike I completed 30,000Km mark he is not far frm me either. Apart frm changing spark plugs and some wires I havent spen anyhing on my bike on the other hand he had to change the Clutch plates, Chain and shock absorbers. he had to change to clutch plates as he bike get hot while consistently going at a speed of 60-70. I donot have that problem my bike stays cool. Milage glamour now gives 60Km/lit in city and 65-70 In Highways.
Discover in city gives 55-60 and on highways 70+.
In pick-up also Hero Honda beats Discover. my bike had even touched 9Kms/hr speed.
Now my frnd realy hate Discover.

Well, I'm myself a kid and I've been able to easily ride Bullet 350 Electra........

By 'bachche' I mean weaklings..... :lol:

You can consider C. Ronaldo one of them....A crybaby...... :lol:

sure innovation and R&D is lacking in HH but bajaj is no where near its reliability...

even auto car india acknowledged that bajaj has quality problems but also lower spare parts...so that kind of makes up for it...but still

i own a hunk myself and my friend recently bought a pulsar 150....mine kicks the butt of pulsar in high speed handling,feel,looks(subjective)...thing in pulsar is that gadgets and electronics are abundant....but on the core side of biking i prefer HH

my preference is that i like the composure and feel of kariszma better than the aggressiveness of RTR FI....

Bajaj ftw..... Pulsar 220 DTSi ftw..... Discover 135 DTSi ftw......

As per me, I am 13 and riding a Honda Activa without a license and just got my Number-plate before that I was riding without a number-plate for 4 months

.

Bajaj of coruse.
HH is a stickering company.

both company produces good bikes, but the truth is BAJAJ is far behind HH,
bajaj bike lovers always praise PULSER but wat abt. platina? jst. drive platina 1ce n after dat jst drive ny 100cc bike frm HH n u'll definately feel da difference.
according 2 me UNICORN is far better than PULSAR.

^^ and even hunk too far better than pulsar 150...

and RTR series and ones from yamaha are taking on the high end pulsars for good....

so if bajaj has no takings in low end offerings and also in high end ones...let God alone decide their future...

btw i heard bajaj is goin to launch a lpg variant of duo fuel bikes...wud love to see the reviews of that..

so bajaj does not have the same design for almost a decade for pulsar 150,180 and only slight difference for 200 and 220(this one sucks)...their design trend is also visible in discover series and others too...

the only area that bajaj excels is in fancy gadgets like backlighting,etc.....in core biking needs like handling,quality,reliability,feel,etc it sucks

when u have something that sells well and is welcomed well by the consumer there is no reason to stop selling it....with a little R&D they shud have made it better but still bajaj in 2008 has no answer to HH tech of 80s and are not able to produce such a reliable and quality bike...their low end bikes totally sucks

hav a 3yr old Discover 125 DTS-i.till now the only prob that i've faced is of inconsistent mileage.currently its at an all time low of 35-40kmpl.
so i'm thinking of dumping it and getting a YZF-R15.

havent had much xperience riding HH bikes so cant say much.though i'll say that Bajaj bikes look btter than HH.

^^R15 costs a leg and a arm

don't buy YZF-R15. coz it looks cool frm front-side only instead spend less money & buy KARIZMA.

@gagandeep.. ROFL on fat-ti.. damn that was awesome.. Bullet is good.. i like Thunderbird more.. feels comfy.. and its perfect for my build.. 5'11" 75+ kg..

i think the performance and technology offered is worth the price.

Both are bad. Bajaj have new ideas but not reliability(forgot HUMARA BAJAJ), pulsars are known to not long standing,Paltinas too and so on. Hero Honda is suffering from presence of HONDA(no new product). It is not in thread, but I think from Indian Manufactures,TVS is better then both bcoz, they innovate(Apache, Flame, Scooty) but at the same time, they maintain quality(TVS Bikes are regular participants in National Rallies,races which both Bajaj and HH donot.

How Is Super Splender? Please suggest.i want to purchase this bike

My First and current bike is Hero Honda CD-Deluxe which is best companion i had ever

I love riding it and My vote goes for all rounder HERO HONDA!!! Bikes are very easy in riding and requires very less maintenance as compared to other vehicles.

@sanjay_ati

Super splender is good bike but gives less mileage so either go for splender or passion (electric start one)

There are many people complaining that HH has no R&D, no technolgy etc etc...
Have a look at the new Karizma ZMR

1. Programmable Fuel Injection -
I guess there are still no bikes from bajaj with FI (Correct me if I am wrong)
Hence Bajaj bikes cannot exploit the benefits of ECU controlled injection. They still are sticking to their age old Micro controller controlled Spark ignition system

2. Catalytic convertor
Karizma ZMR's exhaust comes equipped with the catalytic convertor, which reduces pollution

3. ZMR comes with a bike tilt angle sensor!

4. Styling! Its evident that bajaj bikes are no where near HH in this aspect.

5. Reliability - HH beats Bajaj again. There are many examples

Finally HH rocks!!

The FI in ZMR comes from Honda, the baap of Zero Anda.. ZMR just gives 17.6 BHP.. Apache RTR, Pulsar 180 and YZF-R15 all give 17 bhp too.. 220 DTS-i gives 20.5 BHP.. beat that..

Torque
Karizma = 18.35N-m @ 6000 rpm
Apache 180 = 15.5 N-m @ 6500 at a much higher rpm
R15 = 15 N-m @ 7500 rom much higher rpm
Bajaj = 19.1 N-m @6000 rpm

From these results, it is clear that one should not judge a bike from facts and figures

And if it wasn't for kawasaki, bajaj would still be selling chetak and autos!! :razz:

Just one more thing, please don't bring Yamaha R15 into the discussion, that bike is god of all.

Dude.. you're so ignorant.. Kawasaki broke up with Bajaj a long time ago and that's why Pulsar was borned.. Regarding Torque.. look at the figures, Bajaj Pulsar produces higher torque than Karizma ZMR.. Moreover :-

Pulsar 220 - 150 KG
ZMR - 159 KG

again pwned.. regarding R15.. it sucks, you've to constantly rev the bike to put it into powerband.. it is awesome in handling, is lightweight but is only suited for short trips or race tracks, nothing else.. Our very own Apache RTR 180 pwns it, kicks its ass in every department...

Regarding higher RPM, bikes are meant to be revved at higher RPM, what's the use of writing Sports on Karizma, when you can't rev it beyond 6k RPM.. besides, look at those sucky tyres, they're so thin.. it sucks, period!!

D

Understand the post before you call someone ignorant!!

Bajaj without kawasaki would not have reached this heights, just like HH.
Study Bajaj's timeline.

And FYI
I know very well that now there are no ties between bajaj and kawasaki.

If the bike produces max power or torque at lower RPM (or more usefull range I would say), it is better. No idiot would rev to 8500 rpm in day to day city travel.

Ya reving the engine is bad...

Oh no now reving is good!! I guess R15 is also branded as sports bike!!

Dude, what i meant to say was that R15 sucks in the terms of torque, to move around in the city, you've to put it into the power band, constantly shifting gears becomes a headache after sometime..

Brother, Bajaj and Kawasaki are still into collabration of technical knowhow, that why Newer kwack are here in India, but they will not into logosharing.

But R-15 can beat p220 any given time.p220 is fact in straight line but in corners, r-15,due to its chassis, zoom ahaead and have better control on riding.

Bajaj Pulsar is the best bike

taken into consideraion- fuel efficiency , bhp , top speed and looks. Even more, it is economical .60k is paisa vaool at pulsar .
So for me , bajaj vs honda - Bajaj is a clear winner .

Seeking for info point of view,

Can anyone put the mileage figure in the City of HH Hunk & P150 ?

And Is it same between CBZ Xtreme & Hunk ?
