Compare Hayate vs Dream Yuga vs Splendor+ vs Crux

In the past couple of months, Bollywood stars Akshay Kumar & Salman Khan have been competing on the silver screen with super hit films. On the small screen, too, they grabbed eyeballs with endorsements for bikes. On the one hand there was Salman Khan chasing a thief on a Suzuki Hayate, donning the role of a cop which he essayed in Dabangg. On the other hand there was Akshay Kumar endorsing Honda's Dream Yuga bike. The question for bike buyers is not about whose fan they are, but which is the better bike to buy. They should also compare it with other bikes in the segment before deciding on the final purchase.

Here's a quick look at the Suzuki Hayate & the Dream Yuga compared to Hero Splendor+ and the Yamaha Crux.
