Bike Reviews

First thing this November morning, I was handed over the keys to the new Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special, an all-new touring motorcycle for 2017. The big Harley-Davidson tourer is a luxury touring machine that proudly wears the bar and shield brand, and now has an engine which has really put the new H-D touring range in a different league.

The Sportsters are an important range for Harley-Davidson India. Light, sporty and agile, these bikes try to explore a customer base of a different kind of rider than the traditional Harley-Davidson purists - that of a bike with agility and handling. The 2017 Harley-Davidson Roadster is the new sporty Harley and with this bike, H-D India will be hoping to find a new fan following in the sales charts.

The Triumph Bonneville T100 has arrived in India and completes the new family lineup of the Modern Classics from the British bike maker. We took the bike out for a spin and here what we think about it.

One of the first things we are taught in Physics is that energy is constant and can nether be created nor destroyed. And energy is what we need to move about from point to point, whether in the form of petrol and electric powered vehicles or your own two feet. The way you utilise energy can be the difference between how quickly and efficiently you get to a place and of course, in a world where energy needs are higher than ever and clean renewable energy is the calling of the day, there are bound to be a few good ideas.

First, the Splendor iSmart 110, then the Passion Pro with i3S and now the Achiever 150! Hero MotoCorp always had a finger on the pulse of the commuter motorcycle segment in India and with the new Achiever 150; it sort of proves it all over again.

We were invited to Coimbatore by Piaggio to test ride Aprilia's first ever scooter to be launched for Indian markets and the good news is that you can own one soon for Rs. 65,000 only. But why shell out that kind of money on a scooter? Here's why one should.

We had the opportunity to take the Hero Splendor iSmart 110 for a quick spin in Gurugram. This is the first time that Hero has developed a motorcycle from its Centre for Innovation and Technology in Jaipur and kudos to Hero for doing a good job.

Perhaps the best-looking and performing neo-retro motorcycle on the market, the Triumph Thruxton is a great overall package. The Retro cafe racer looks along with a wonderful 1,200cc parallel twin engine is really tough to say no to.
