- Hello.
CK, DD, TMK and I took 4 different entry segment adventure motorcycles, the Xpulse 200, the Scram 411, the KTM 250 Adventure and the BMW G310GS out for an overnight weekend ride. And we each share our thoughts on which would be our choice.
Cheers!

If you take into account of every rider here - the Xpulse emerges unbeatable . All the best to Hero group
Indeed!
It's not a lighter bike than KTM, they are both 159KG. But the handling of the XPulse feels lighter
collars up for my Xpulse 4v 😎
Indeed! The 4V is an awesome motorcycle for the price. Huge bang for the buck. Best wishes!
Scram seems like an overall pack!
Yes it is too!
I love scram 411. It's all rounder
Nice to see all the gents having fun!! Thanks for the sweet video.
🙏🏻👍
Scram is next level I have both xpluse .....and riding experience is good in scram you get a confidence
Great to hear. Cheers!
Scram is excellent bike
off roading is very rare for those who lives in city and goes to adventure sometimes. in that sense, KTM seems to be top choice.
Agree!
Very straightforward, I was planning to buy ktm adv, now I could go happily 😉
Happy to hear! Best wishes.
this video clarified my doubts i was struggling from so many days
Best wishes!
good to see people sharing things in a healthy way ..
Thanks.
Xpulse is a jack of all trades.
Especially for those who don't do too much highway riding.
I have one.
It can cruise at 85kmph all day.
It is great when roads go bad, like in India.
It's easy on the pocket.
It's very easy to drive in the city.
It does not overheat.
A few mods like risers, seat, rack and you have a motorcycle that can do it all even better.
Rightly said. Ideal for riders who do not do much big open highway rides.
One more point to add
Xpulse maintenance and service cost is really really low also the mileage is great
And spare parts of Hero is dirt cheap compared to the other once here
Yes! Absolutely correct.
X pulse is compared with these beasts definitely one of the most value for money bike.
Yes! It is indeed value for money.
Enjoyed every second of it 🤗 lots of love and support.
Thank you so much 😀
after watching this video im damm sure im going to purchase xpulse4v 😍
Good choice. Enjoy!
I think the updated xpulse 4v is really a great value for money allrpunder motorcycle except for its lack of power in expressway as as shared by you people. Loved the smoothness, light weight and most important its price and off road capabilities.
Well said. VFM is the best by far and best bang for the buck.
Nice video and no dinchak dinchak background music. Explained in simple terms. 👌
Thanks. Glad you like it. Cheers!
Good one! this vlog definitely clarifies the queries to people who are struggling to finalize on thier choice of bike. BTW final part of the vlog was like a glimpse of Ravichandran movie. 😀
Thanks and glad you enjoyed it.
And Ravichandran movies??? 😅
Nice words by mature riders. Keep going...
🙏🏻 thanks.
KTM 250 ADV & XPULSE 200 both machines are justify, for whom they Built for................
BMW 310 GS maintenance is very higher side & RE Scram 411 is the oldest model & tech machine........
Yes!
Lovely video Bosky, thank you for pulling me over...
🙏🏻 It’s a pleasure.
i will get a xpulse 4v 2023 next weekend - seems perfect for georgia - my anticipation is great :) thx
Cheers!
Xpulse 2004V little above for highway as compared to his sibling.
Yes. the 4V is better in refinement than the 2V.
I was planning to take scram 411...Is it a good choice?
It is a good choice for sure. And the reason it was last on my list is because the competition is really good too. Test ride it and then choose. Cheers!
Hi . Can you do comparision with versus 300x? Thanks in advance
Hello. Once we are able to get hold of one, we sure will. Thanks for the suggestion. Cheers!
BMW310 i will chose but for handling im experience the scram 411 very lovely bike
👍
Group of intellectual. I listen every word carefully.
Thanks for the kind words. Cheers!
HI I can afford Scarm 411 but I'm inclined towards Xpulse 4v for its value for money & easy maintenance..or KTM 250 ADV ? I have been using pulsar 180 for last 10 yrs which one I should go for ?
Hi! Considering the fact that you have been riding a light and nimble motorcycle for so long, if budget permits go for the 250Adv. Although the Xp 4V is also a super value option. Note, if you are going to ride doubles often then the 250Adv or the Scram is the choice. The Xp does not perform well with 2 up riding.
The best way is to first take a test ride of the Scram so that you’ll get a feel for it’s higher weight. And then you may take a call. Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore Hi, Thanks for taking time in replying, really appreciate it. I have booked 250 Adv after a quick test ride 😀
Awesome! Congrats.
Hero Xpluse is less cost compare to other bikes and maintenance is very less , value for money and off road ridings best choice and High ways no back getting any rider sitting is very comfortable .
Yes, we agree that the Xp is quite easy on the pocket. Costs far less than the others and the maintenance costs are quite low.
Xpulse is the best choice a little more power would've been nice though
Indeed, agree.
Not the best but best for your money
Collars up for my Xpulse 4v (2) 😎
Indeed! Cheers!
Xpulse is the king🔥
Yes you can say that!
lol
Try some hard off-roading bro. You'll start to appreciate xpulse and scram. Talking only about highway touring doesn't make the comparison full.
Yes! Done that to the level that is within our skills sets. Motorcycling is not only about highway nor only about hard off-roading. It’s a balance as you said.
And we have done and posted separate individual motorcycle reviews too except for the Scram. If you are inclined you may watch those too on the channel. Thanks.
Let me explain why ur not talking about other bikes.. because ur wallet is empty and flys 🪰are flying through ur wallet.. u cant afford for extra money.. lol 😂😂😂 poi oomada kunne tayoli
Excellent explanation and i am literally struggling to make choice between all these 4😀
:-) buy all of them then! ;-)
@@bigbearbangalore thanks for suggestion hope you do the same🫠
😂
@@bigbearbangalore 😂😬🤣
For people like me from the hills, we have extreme curvy highways which cannot support high speed ride. And full of bad roads. Xpulse seems to be the best option with value to money ratio.
Indeed. Light and easy to ride and handle.
Next-gen classic 350 or scram 411?
The Scram can take you to more places in greater comfort than the Classic.
Which one has the best ride quality? Have you ridden the Suzuki Strom 250?
The Xpulse and the 310 have the best ride quality.
The test ride Vstrom 250 is yet to come to the dealership. We are told they’ll be available by next weekend.
I'm more confused now, but 1.6 lakh xpulse in the league is very impressive.
Sorry to confuse you more!!! Xp is great value for money with the main weaknesses being highway performance and doubles performance. Keep that in mind. Cheers!
Post more videos yaar,, maja ata hai aap sabko dekhkar
Thank you. Yes we have a few lined up for shoot in Jan. Cheers!
Can we travel to Ladakh on scram 411?
Most certainly you can!
Bom, para o meu estilo seria a Scran 411 ou a BMW!
The Scram & BMW both look good. The BMW is far superior to the Scram and is also more expensive.
I'm so much confused between scram and ktm adv😵. I like powerful heavy bikes for cruising and city rides. I want a bike which has better sitting position. Suggest me between scram and adv
Personal preference. Test ride and choose the one you enjoy more.
One good thing, you guys didn't even bring vstorm to the comparison 😅. It's not an adventure motorcycle so well done. Only problem with Xpulse is it has tube tyres 😢. And 250 Adv is 1 lakh costlier than Xpulse.
I don't want the hustle when tube tyres gets puncture that too in the remote area or highways. Can you please suggest which one should I buy. I want a bike who's capable of touring and I don't need to worry about bad highway patches or city potholes. Tube tyres on Xpulse is holding me back from getting it.
KTM 250 Adv
Scrambler 400X
H450
390ADV
Thank you 😊
I don't understand why Hero hasn't come up with tubeless tyres for the Xpulse. Like KTM has done it. It's painful to fix tube tyres 😢. Have you ever gone through the trouble of tube tyres puncture in your riding journey so far? Please share the experience
Beautiful information very interesting vlog 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much 🙂
scram 411 and adv 250 both latest version then why not xpulse 4v instead of 2v ? not a fare comparison .
Agree to your point that we had the latest and not the latest motorcycles in this video.
The 4V is a little more refined that the 2V and there is no change in performance to affect the ranking choices we each made. Even with the 4V our choices would have been the same. Thanks much for sharing your thoughts. Appreciate your time. Cheers!
Hey guys,
Nice video
How come no yezdi adventure/scrambler ?
Hi! We could not get hold of one for a long test ride. And the short ride we did take on both, we did not enjoy and found the engines rough and harsh and overall poor quality fit and finish that is reminiscent of Chinese motorcycles from the 1980s.
And we are still on the lookout to get hold of them to test and share our feedback. Thanks.
Four middle aged men having fun on the wheels
😀
Waiting for your view on Yezdi Adventure
Yes, am looking forward to it too.
Scram gives average performance but the looks outsmarts it all
👍
Planning to buy Adventure 250 😁. Xpulse is value for money though.
Yes! The Xp is value for money and the 250ADV is a superb all rounder. Since I have the Vstrom 650, I chose the Xp as my second motorcycle. If I had to have only one, then I'll go for the 250ADV.
@@bigbearbangalore Im gonna have only one. Have been riding 97cc splendor ismart bike for 8 years. ADV 250 is itself over budget for me 😅. Thanks for your reply.
@@rajavigneshrrv7466 Ah ha! Then the Xp is perfect for. You will have a good time. VFM. Cheers!
Fantastic
Thanks!
Which one has the lowest maintainance cost.
Xpulse 200
It is unfortunate that the facelift G310GS had removed the ABS switch. I have heard the newer ones is more reliable and have fixed the battery issue though.
I can buy a as new Scram slightly cheaper than a still in warranty (facelifted) G310GS though and I like the lower seating position of Scram.
I would ride 85-90% road probably 10%+ offroad, which is the better bike for me?
Should I get an older G310GS for the ABS switch or the newer ones are much better?
Newer ones are more refined.
@@bigbearbangalore hmm, I should consider the newer BMW over the RE Scram then?
Thank you.
What's your opinion on Bajaj Dominar 250 and 400 ?
I do not have any opinions on them. I have ridden the 400 and did not like the insipid overall performance be it the engine, the suspension or the handling. Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore oh okay thank you 👍
friends at big bear! i bought the 250adv on your reccomendation 6 months ago! now they have released adjustable suspension i am thinking of placing on order and having it retrofitted into my 250 adv, do you think it will be worth it?? also shud i get the rear monoshock as well or will the front forks be enough. i dont see any way swapping the suspension shud be an issue since the travel and size etc are all the same but correct me if im wrong. what other investments can i make which will drastically improve the performance of the motorcycle?? thaanks a lot for your response!!!!
Hello. Congrats on the purchase. Suspensuon update depends on the kind of riding you do. It's your choice.
And Thatte is no dramatic performance increase that can be gotten, rather small steps are possible with a BMC filter and a FuelX kit. Regards.
sir yezdi adv or ktm adv 250 ?
Hi! Overall, the KTM 250ADV is more refined and has better build quality than the Yezdi ADV. We suggest that you ride both and understand them and after that if it's still hard to choose, choose the KTM. Cheers!
What's your opinion on hero xpulse 4v vs KTM Adventure 250?
Out of 10, how would you rate both in city, highway, off-road and overall usability?
Hi!
In city the Xpulse is super fun to ride be it tight traffic or broken roads. On the highway the 250 is definitely far superior. And on dirt if the rider is skilled they can have fun on the 250 as well. But when the dirt gets tricky the Xpulse is the bike to be on.
If open highway touring is not what you do much, the the Xpulse is a good all round choice. Plus you’ll have a lot of cash to spare to buy other stuff like riding gears, gadgets and accessories plus money for travel. 😊
However, if you like to tour mostly on highways at faster speeds and also do some commuting, then the 250 is the correct choice.
Cheers!
Which is better between himalayan and Yezdi adventure, specs wise Adventure is great but what is your opinion , i want to buy one of them
Himmer = proven, extensive service network, known entity, heavier, slower
Yezdi = lighter, much faster, poor service network, not great fit and finish, poor resale value
@@bigbearbangalore thank you so much for your valuable advice
I love RE SCRAM 411 but i hate tube tyres... I wish SCRAM 411 should have tubeless tyres 😒🙄
Yes tubeless is a massively important feature for any motorcycle.
Guys I was thinking to buy one of them which one should I buy?!
Hi! The best way is to take a test ride and find out which one tickles your brain. Each is quite unique & different and the decision is best made post a test ride and using the head and heart to pick the one to buy. Cheers!
Hello boss key sir, I am always hearing the word « grunt » in your reviews what is that exactly? New to biking thanks in advance
Slanguage for "response to opening the throttle".
Can't decide between
Dominar 400
KTM adv 250
Honda hness
All totaly different bikes but can't bloody decide between the three
Hi! The KTM 250 Adv is far superior to the other two in every parameter. I suggest you go for it. Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore thanks I'll take your suggestion seriously
@@bigbearbangalore on my xpulse I feel comfortable cruising speed is 80kmph what is it on the adv 250, some youtubers say 90 some say 115. Because if it's not too different from my xpulse I don't see the point in buying something that costs 1 lakh more
@@whatreally9 the 250 adv can do 120 kmph as smoothly & easily as the Xpulse does 80 kmph.
Take a test ride of the 250 and you'll get a clear understanding. Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore i have purchased the ktm adv 250, done 1500km in 1 week. Lots to love some to dislike.
Anyway thanks for your reviews now I have an xpulse
A ktm adv 250
And a boxer bm 150 which feels like a scooter at this point.
Ronin coming next for my wife to start her riding journey.
Throw in a rally kit on xpulse and do this again.
The rally kit will be super duper on off-road trails. I tried it and it was too tall for me so I fit only the rally seat on my Xp. Cheers!
should i go with Ktm 250 or scram 411 am not much on touring am using bikes for my daily activities on cities, which one is preferable?
I would suggest you ride both and get a feel of their characteristics and pick what appeals to you more.
I would pick the 250ADV over the Scram because it's lighter, faster, more mileage and more manoeuvrable. Cheers!
Good one 👍
Thanks & cheers!

310 gs is best and nice looking.
It does look good.
@@bigbearbangalore even for ride take it to any place it can manage. On highway or off road.
@@PraveenKumar-op8in but disappointed when comes to service cost. Spending 10k on a 300cc is not worth it.
It’s a BMW so one is paying for the name and fame.
@@bigbearbangalore yeah, overpriced in the name of a brand, a simple clutch liver which costs 4k 😹
Xpulzeee
😀 Xpeeeeeeeeee
Dominar 400 💥
Yes!
my choice ;
1. X pulse
2. Ktm
3. Scram/Bmw
And since I am a short person, I will go for scram
Nice choices as per personal needs. Cheers!
Pulse is good for off-road, not Highway. Good as second bike
👍
Planning for ktm or RE better get xpulse and plan road trips with extra money...... If anything breaks it's cheap to repair and replace compared to other bikes ...... If you break something on BMW just imagine the cost of repairs 😂🤣🤣
Agree!
Camera is toooooo shaky
Yes! Sorry about that. Have found the cause and will be set right. Thanks for the feedback.
Scram 411
👍
So the scram is nobody's favourite n it's not so cheap too
Cheers!
How do deal with Tyre safety in xpulse
I don’t get your question?
@@bigbearbangalore how do you manage tyre puncture issues in xpulse because its tube tyres
Well, it has to be managed, no option at the moment. We carry a set of tools, spare tubes, repair patch kit and a pump.
How about anti punture sealant
Does not help. Its a messy affair and creates much complications in patching the tube plus the mass of the sealant causes a rotational imbalance. Not recommended.
G310GS with 350 cc cylinder kit from their maxi scooter C400GT, I had their first lot of 310gs but I ended up parting away within month due to its poor low end torque, same experience with impulse, poor performance and she also gone out within a month of ownership.
Oh ok. And I hope you find a motorcycle that serves and deliveries to your expectations. Happy motorcycling. Cheers!
its the most dull review video I have seen
Thanks for the feedback. We’ll try and make it more exciting next time. Thanks!
Suzuki is missing
I think it wasn't launched when this video was shot. And even if it was, we were four who own these 4 motorcycles and hence this comparo. Thanks.
How can a 199cc single cylinder 2valve is still in Top 2 of majority of guys there amazing Xpulse
It’s the combination of light weight and great suspension and price that makes this package the most attractive.
@@bigbearbangalore hey how do you compare all these bikes to the 4v though, have u ridden it is it any better in Highway, just confused between scram and xpulse, scram has a bigger engine but is almost a lac costlier plus it's 25 kgs heavy, very confused can what's your opinion
Hi! The 4V is a more refined version in terms of engine noise and combustion clatter and high rpm vibes. Performance wise it’s the same as the 2V.
It’s actually a tough call between the Xp and the Scram. As different as they are I understand your predicament.
If you like to tour & travel mostly on smaller and lesser known roads and you tour solo, then the Xp would be the better option.
However, if bigger highways, long riding days and two up riding form a large part of your touring, then the Scram is the way to go. Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore thanks
Only thing bothering about xpulse is the lack of tubeless tyres.
Yes, it is a concern.

We’ll come to that one day. Cheers!
