Ready to race ! #BleedOrange
I want to see GSX-R 159 head to head with them😭😭.
I own a R15v2. It's been 5yrs of ownership and like thousands of me i hv never ridden on a racetrack to find its limits so quickly. Just a few months back when I thought I have experienced what I had to from the bike and I needed a bigger one, I accidently did a mid corner stoppie at about 30-40 degree lean. And I made the corner. I smiled thinking the old girl still can amaze me. And this makes me appreciate the beauty of a balanced motorcycle. You can reach triple digit speeds only for a few times. But in all cases what is going to watch your back is the faultless handling of your motorcycle. And thats why I am a fan of Yamaha.

i own duke 390 . but if i were to by in 1.5 lakhs category i defintely go with r 15 v3 .rc is fun only when it is 390 ,maybe 200 but absolutely no no to 125.
Exactly 👍
Yamaha is a proven legend, KTM is a good bike #RossiYamahaFan
I mean you gotta appreciate KTM for their boldness toward Indian market, the first if not only company to provide equipments like Radial Caliper, USD Forks, Trellis Frame and now TFT Console, Ride by Wire with Modes, Quick Shifter UD, Traction Control you name it for such lower displacement segments, let's not talk about the rad styling though.
Our family goes way long with Yamaha, we still own our first Rajdoot, but what's the competition comes in, rubber break lines? Tell me about the feedback when the lines start giving up, expanding with lever pull.
I believe these Japanese manufacturers, The so called 'Big Four' focuses more on their business rather than passion unlike Europeans.
By appreciating KTM we appreciate their bold moves thus welcoming more of these high end features to our community and price point.
Japanese used to be aggressive and are not new to experimenting they changed their business model when Mitsubishi (focused too much on evo and forgot to make cars for family) failed
KTM did it because they were failing in every market then Bajaj implemented their Pulsar's business model and they relied on India to get back into business
@@pranaym3859 Yeah, but companies like Yamaha can still launch bikes the Yamaha XT250 in India without compromising on their sales figures since they already have commuter products on steady sale. I think the Japanese companies are being way to cautious, to the point of being cowardly by not launching non-commuter products especially when they already have such products in the international market.
Well any of the big four can defeat ktm 390 in performace and features but they dont want to do that

Exactly 5 years ago, there was a video on PowerDrift. Featuring the New prick from kothrud, the legendary Sarge, TenHut, Ali Bhai amongst others. And it was about the best beginner sportsbike you could buy in India. And I agreed. Agreed so much that I got one myself. Surprisingly, 5 years later, and after many other bike launches, my opinion still hasn't changed. It is still the RC200. Perfect engine size, perfect dynamics and more than adequate upgrade options. Got the tank grips, metzelers, upgraded the brake calipers and piggyback ecu for an even puncher top end. There is a reason why the rc200 has a better time than the conti 650 around the MMRT ridden by none other than Rajini. It is an extremely underrated motorcycle.
RC200 should be competitor of V3... 125 is a joke!
Your comment is a joke. The 125 Duke and RC sell more than the 200 counterparts. Profits are no joke for a company.
@@twistednemo mmmm... I don't think it is leading the 200 cc in consumers demand.. ! Please get the right way of fact ! It is almost costing of Version 3 currently!

Hi hi hi. Lol
Hi

Now since we have the bikes for beginners to learn motorsport I guess there should be a track in every state to do it.
Agree... That would reduce accidents too drastically..
No one can make motorcycle contents as good as powerdrift does .❤🤙🏻🔥
And would we have it any other way? ;)
R15 sounds like a supersports bike but ktm all bikes sounds like auto rikshaw.. 💣💣💣
Try out 390 series
True...I really love the looks of ktm bikes but honestly everytime I hear one coming near me, I feel it sounds like an autorickshaw....:-)
Supersports?! 🤭...... I think you never heard a superbike roar...... 🤣
Heyyyyyyyyy I died laughing, both of them were soooo cuteeeee
Now you know how they were when they were kids.
Varun is cute but child sumi with grey hair made me laugh
by reading most of the comments we can see why companies does not equipped bikes with premium components like other countries. All they care is topspeed😂

R15 v3 the Rossi king motogp
One Bike is Under Power (RC125) and Another is Over Powered(R15v3) Considering that they have almost Similar Prices .....
If You want Engine Refinement and longevity then R15v3 should be your pick....
If You want Sharp Elegant looks, and better handling then Rc125 should be your Pick....
CHOICE IS YOUR'S
Better handling goes for r15... It has deltabox frame concept straight from moto gp m1

Haha i couldnt control the laugher ,seeing the minion version of shumi and varun ,execptionally awesome ,cute minions ☺️☺️,kudos to you guys at PD ,always at the helm of getting the creative content in the motoring scene
Haha! Motoring minions to the rescue! :P
Wow!! Shumi had to end it differently by using both the brands’ tag line 👌👏
YES YAMAHA 💪
The Kiddo concept was Superb
The Video , Amazing ... That's the PD Way
But most importantly, The Honesty; that's what makes PD Great.
You always get a proper answer to the comparo rather than beating around the bush and praising both contenders.
Way to go PD
Yamaha's supreme corner speed is here even in the 150cc category 😂😂
Love your videos Powerdrift. Every video is presented so well like a story telling instead of just giving away the features of both bikes like other channels. You guys are doing an amazing work for the automobile community. Watching it over and over for the fantastic music, not just for the bikes comparo lol. Great editing too. I agree with you, Yamaha rules this segment. \m/
Yamaha will run circles around a KTM whole day when the KTMs engine will blow out
PS: I own both Yamaha n KTM :-/
u didnt prove anything. just simple hating with words
@@vrk1131 ktm engine will get hot very quickly...
@@dharrshane1449 ktm has better engine. DOHC engine which is capable of doing high rpm. maybe thats why. even if it gets hot there is liquid cooling. and the temperature will be regulated fast. temperature will not be an issue

Do a comparison video like this for rc390 and rr310
Yep, that's being planned as we speak.
Omg what a track comparison....i had goosebumbs till the end of video... Plz make these kinds of videos on other bikes as well ..please... Really appreciate the efforts behind it !!
Give the video editor a cookie! BADASS. \M/
R15 is the BEST
I don't get it.. *RC 125* makes no sense.. i rode this bike and i felt like i am sitting in a aggressive riding position & just shifting gears from 1 to 6 and bike is barely moving that felt stupid.. on the other hand *Duke 125* is at least good in comfort department.
U r right
U don't get it
@@rhtkharat yes i don't get it, coz i have RC390 and on 390 RC's body structure is a whole lot of different story.. RC125s aerodynamic is useless coz it takes more than 120kmph for aerodynamic to properly kick in, so RC 125 doesn't makes sense but *Duke 125* does. Low Power & Riding Position suitable for daily commutes with acceptable Mileage, Duke makes sense for me.
It was 5 seconds slower than the R15 and you still feel it runs slow? are you ok?
@@yudhistirs 5 seconds slower ? What are you talking about ? What i am saying is RC125 has everything that doesn't require that's it. And If you are judging the bike by being 5 seconds slower or faster with such capacity then i would like to ask you *ARE YOU OKAY* if you're gonna buy one of those machines on basis of SECONDS then R15 make clear sense here than "RC 1 . 2 . 5".
@@mysteryport The entire point of this video was a race track comparison, when the KTM RC125 can be as fast as a Yamaha R15, how can you say it is barely moving? RC125 makes sense for track days, Duke 125 does not
R15 V3 is even better option than RC200.
R15 has got better top end.
Who can even think of comparing R15 V3 with this sh*t - RC125
Duke/RC 125 most useless and unworthy machines.
how u say v3 is better than rc200 , i don't know only top speed is enough for u ah bro 😂 ktm known for its monster acceleration and torque which is the main key point for racing don't blabber again that v3 better than rc200 . go and watch drag race rc will smoke v3 rc speed is electronically limited for safety if we unlock surely it will fuck v3 😂
@@Karthikeyan-2066 dude, I think you can't understand English or you are blind!
Coz no where I have mentioned that R15 V3 is faster and quicker than RC200.
@@Karthikeyan-2066 haha so true
@@Karthikeyan-2066 there is a term called "Budget" & "Worth buying"
Where R15 V3 kills it.
And about top speed - being a 150cc segment bike does above 140kmph+
Whereas in Duke/RC 200, it's limited to 138kmph
Yeah no doubt Duke/RC200 are quicker and but not so quick that it will smoke R15 V3
And considering the price difference between R15 V3 and RC200.
- It makes R15 V3 better than RC200.
*Note: I don't own R15 V3 niether a Yamaha Fan Boy & I have ridden both R15V3 and RC200.*
And there are many bikes which comes with more displacement and with better power figures means better performance at a lower price where RC125 sucks.
Both RC & Duke125 💩
Now, in comment section, Bikers will talk sense and squids are gonna talk shit here which will make no sense - already ruined the name of KTM after Bajaj Pulsars & TVS Apaches.
And squids will not get reply either.
When Shumi is much more experienced than Varun... Why didn't Shumi hop on to RC125? Does he hate to loose? Like Jeremy Clarkson?
P.S. Jeremy Clarkson has lost sometimes
From content to cinematography to background music.. You are amazing PowerDrift👏👏👏
Wait, and there's more coming up!
R15 looks better than rc but the rc build quality is better than R15.
Aaahhh...refreshing... feels like powerdrift is producing content of what's actually needed.. Gud old PD..👍👍

Yamaha lover's like ktm lovers comment
Here you go :P
R15 V3 is one of the few bikes under budget which can give a top speed beyond the engine CC
It's a motorcycle very well made. Kudos to Yamaha on what they have here.
155 cc r15= 155kmph top speed
Rc125 can too go beyond 125kmph.
@@shankraken 155 kmph is speedometer error, lol. R15 has 10 to 15 kmph speedometer error.
@@cranky1812 but even if it hits 144 that's insane. The bajaj 200 cc bikes can hit that speed with tons of vibes. But r15 just smooth like butter.
Yamaha has very poor marketing strategy they have a good line up in the global market but here in India v barely get half of what is there in the global market. Their MT series for example.
More over I feel Yamaha should bring the 4 stroke version of the RD 350. I am sure it will sell well.
Crazy Shots♥️♥️
Crazy hosts, crazy bike, crazy track!
Yes Yamaha!!!!

I dont know why, but I am constantly searching "Jawa Perak Powerdrift" all the time. Is there no one in PowerDrift who loves that kind of a bike? There's no other channel that makes a bike review this classy. I am just waiting for it guys... When will it be over?
We do wanna make a video on it.
Just waiting for a few things to fall into place so that the video is just perfect.

When the riding gear costs more than the bike
Waiting for RC 50cc in affordable price.
Its coming this September for 99k ex showroom 😅😅🤣
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Lmao
Comparing a KTM and Yamaha at this level is like comparing the Stig and Richard hammond, sure Hammond is a bid childish and can go around a track however the stig own the race.
When the r15 used to be the most expansive bike around on you town, and the pulsar 220 used to be 75k bike
Lmao what? Where you from bro?
Let's just say that if you're citing the top motorsport athletes in the video, then it's gonna take someone with Orange Venom in their veins to 'Keep Throttle Maxed' & get there. For the sombre folk who want a flying carpet to glide on... well Yamaha was always the one to rev your heart!
Its pretty dumb if someone buys rc 125 or Duke 125 . If some is think about getting a ktm bike go for Duke 200 or 250 ,skip rc 200 or jump directly to Duke 390 or rc 390.
i some countrys like spain when you are 16 years old you only can ride 125cc with 15cv or less

This is the type of content I'm looking for🔥🔥🔥.. track performance and lap times..how about u also put in onboard footage of the lap with GoPro telemetry like speed G-Force and map
Also try squeezing in FZ25 too cuz it falls in the same price range and has better power but lacks in top end....asking this cuz I own one😛
The FZ25 is a proper commuter bike! It would be unfair to bring it into the picture :)
@@powerdriftofficial yeah it's a commuter but it's more like a sleeper cuz R15v3 borrowed suspension, alloys, brake setup and tyres of FZ25 to keep the cost low compared to Indonesian R15v3
RC 125 😍😍
The begining was pretty much annoying
R15❤️ Has always been a phenomenal motorcycle. Being it braking, power, ergonomics, it's right there in the middle, cater both track enthusiast & commuter based customer. I have almost abused my motorcycle, taken it to all terrains bcoz it's the only bike i have. He is 9yrs now, have never troubled me. Soo much dependable ❤️

It's idiotic to even think about the RC125 when the R15 is around as Yamahas will always be more reliable,better built and comfortable than any KTM. Considering the price tag of KTM is equal to the Yamaha...I bet if the KTM was 20,000 cheaper still it won't be able to compete.
