Our Verdict

Although all these three are a powerful hell of a machine, the Apache RTR 200 4V would be my personal pick. This is one of those bikes which has significantly improved over the years, both in terms of features and modern connectivity options, that the Pulsar NS 200 and MT-15 lacks.

However, where the RTR 200 misses out is in the performance compared to the NS 200. But if you are someone who requires a stable balance on all the sectors, I.e. price, features, tech, and performance, then you need to close your eyes and put money on this machine.

As your hard-earned money is invested in the buying, be the best judge for yourself.
