Drag race is a common phenomenon which a lot of YouTubers adopt to test the acceleration performance of two cars or motorcycles
This latest post contains a drag race between Hero Karizma XMR, Yamaha R15M and Bajaj Pulsar NS200. All these bikes are extremely popular in this segment. Also, people seeking performance opt for either of these. Hence, it is exciting to see the straight-line acceleration of these similarly-specced bikes. Apart from that, there is a small difference in the prices of these as well. Hence, it is a fair comparison for those looking for a bike in this category. Let us take a look at the details of this case here.
Hero Karizma XMR 210 vs Yamaha R15M vs Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Drag Race
This video stems from Solo Traveler on YouTube. The host takes the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 for the first round while his companions ride the other two bikes. In the beginning, the R15M took the lead, with Karizma in second place and the NS200 trailing in the end. Over the course of the race, the Karizma overtook the R15 to finish at the pole position with R15 completing the race in second place. For the second round, they swapped the riders to ensure the body weights and riding mannerisms were taken into consideration. However, the result remained the same. The Karizma was the undisputed winner, while the NS200 finished last.

My View
I have covered innumerable drag race events in the last few years. It is a method YouTubers adopt to compare the performance of two motorcycles. However, I must urge our readers to never try such activities. The chance of things going wrong is high. Most of these YouTubers might be professionals. That is why it is important to not imitate them. Make sure to follow traffic regulations and stay safe.
