Buy the new Triumph Speed 400 or the Honda CB300R?

-
Speed 400 price, mileage, comfort, performance, quality.

I like the new Triumph Speed 400, but I feel like the Honda CB300R is a close rival and I am confused about which bike to go for. How come you have not conducted a comparison review? 

Ramesh Vaswani, Mumbai

Autocar India says: You’re right, the CB300R is quite a close rival to the Triumph in the way that it performs. Of all the bikes we’ve reviewed, the CB punches well above what the spec sheet may suggest. Even though it has just 30hp compared with the Triumph’s 40hp, our tests have shown that the CB can pretty much match the Speed in the 0-100kph run. That comes down to the magic of low weight as the 146kg CB300R weighs a full 30kg less than the Triumph. 

Nevertheless, the Honda cannot hope to compare with the Triumph's exceptional mid-range performance. In that sense, the Triumph's performance is much easier to use and it also happens to be a more spacious and comfortable bike, although the little Honda is not bad in this regard either. Given the extra performance, comfort and features the Triumph has to offer and its Rs 44,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi) price saving, it’s an easy one to recommend. 

Moreover, the CB300R is not currently on sale, likely due to the fact that it is not yet OBD2 and E20 compliant. That is also why we did not include it in our comparison review.

BMW has taken the wraps off its most powerful M3 ever, the F80 M3 CS, which is even more powerful than the BMW M3 competition. The BMW M3 CS will be sold in sedan bodystyle only and in limited numbers worldwide.  BMW M3 sedan gets 550hp twin-turbo petrol Does 0-100kph in 3.4 seconds Gets BMW’s xDrive AWD tech with selectable RWD BMW M3 CS: design and interior  The M3 CS is set apart from the M3 Competition visually by a raft of design tweaks, such as an angrier-looking, open front grille designed to match the front end of BMW’s GT4-spec M4 racer. Gaping air intakes round off the new-look nose. These are joined by a host of items that enhance aerodynamics, such as a wide front splitter and a lipped rear spoiler. It gets special V-spoke gold wheels – 19-inch at the front and 20-inch at the rear – shod with track-focused tyres. The M compound brakes come with red calipers, while carbon-ceramic brakes are also available. The interior broadly matches that of the M3 Competition, w

Toyota Hyryder real world fuel economy tested, explained

Toyota ’s Hyundai Creta -rivalling Urban Cruiser Hyryder gets two powertrain options – a strong hybrid and a mild hybrid, with the latter offered with a 6-speed automatic and a 5-speed manual gearbox. The mild-hybrid manual powertrain is also available with an all-wheel-drive option. We put the hybrid and the AWD version through our instrumented real-world fuel efficiency tests to find out how it performs in the real world. 1.Strong hybrid’s efficiency is almost twice as good 2.Ambient temperatures affect hybrid’s mileage 3.Mild-hybrid’s 6-speed gearbox would have enhanced highway efficiency What is the real world fuel efficiency of the Toyota Hyryder? The hybrid version’s petrol engine runs an efficient Atkinson cycle, hence, as expected, the numbers are substantially higher than the standard version. In our instrumented tests, the hybrid returned a staggering 20.28kpl in the city and 22.85kpl on the highway. What’s interesting is that the numbers are quite the opposite to w
