The year 2021 may have not been as action-packed when it came to being out and about, and doing what we love the most - riding motorcycles. Nevertheless, there have been some pretty interesting and entertaining motorcycles that we've had the chance to review during the year. Despite restrictions and safety concerns due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which meant we had to have our guard up, be distanced from people, 2021 did have its stellar moments when it came to riding motorcycles. These aren't necessarily the 'best' bikes in their respective segments, but bikes which we really enjoyed riding and reviewing, when we did get the chance to do so.

2021 Honda CB200X Review
Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India entered the entry-level ADV segment in 2021, with what's not the company calls an adventure bike, but more of a crossover, that's more a commuter motorcycle, dressed in ADV clothing. But it definitely has strong qualities as a well-rounded product and will certainly carve its own niche!

2021 Ducati Monster Review
The 2021 Ducati Monster gets significantly updated, and purists may scoff at the absence of the exposed steel trellis frame.

Needless to say, we had a blast reviewing it at the Buddh International Circuit!
