Such races are a common method adopted by modern YouTubers to compare the performances of two bikes
In this post, we are taking a look at the long drag race between the 2025 TVS Apache RR310 and Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z. Both these are relatively new models. These are, essentially, performance-focused motorcycles at an incredibly affordable price point. In fact, that is the biggest selling point of these two motorbikes. The Apache is an iconic moniker in our market and is a preferred choice for a whole bunch of riding enthusiasts. On the other hand, the NS400Z is the first 400-cc product to carry the Pulsar nameplate. Let us see how well these two ride.
2025 TVS Apache RR310 vs Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z Long Race
This video stems from Ayush Verma on YouTube. The host has the two motorcycles with him. On the count of three, the two riders accelerate hard. For the first round, YouTube takes the Pulsar NS400Z, while his partner has the Apache RR310. From the beginning, the Apache takes the lead. Interestingly, it never let go of that lead and ended up victorious. However, the margin was not too wide. For the second round, the drivers were swapped to take into consideration their driving mannerisms. Again, the Apache was in front throughout the race and the Pulsar was just a little distance behind. In any case, the 2025 TVS Apache RR310 emerged as the undisputed winner of this race.

My View
YouTubers are often spotted performing such races to compare the real-life driving dynamics of prominent motorcycles. However, I must mention that it is not a great way since it can be dangerous for the machine and the riders. You can watch these videos for entertainment purposes if you wish. But I would like to urge our readers never to get involved in these activities yourself. Let us keep an eye out for more such cases in times to come.
