Scooter market has seen its share of advancements in India thanks to Honda and TVS. Both of these companies have gained massive ground in scooter territory and still, they continue to improve. Their latest offering the Grazia 125 from Honda and Ntorq from TVS have changed the concept of a commuter scooter. These scooters have re-imagined the segment into a performance-oriented landscape for the better. Let’s see how these scooters fare when pitted against each other.
Competition is good, it acts as a catalyst to bring out the best products in the market. It is responsible for better quality products, innovations and overall growth in any industry. That being said, sometimes it just becomes ugly and downright stupid, if taken out of logic. Today we are going to talk about the recent video in which people are comparing Royal Enfield Himalayan and Bajaj Dominar 400.
Cruising the highway of our country is no easy task. One encounters potholes, harsh weather, unexpected pedestrians and everything imaginable. Indian highway is the place where you need to be extra prepared for everything, ranging from flat tyres to ghosts (just kidding). So, we have compiled a list of top 5 motorcycles, which will propel you for countless miles with ease. We have taken in several factors like Top speed, Torque, Safety, Comfort etc. in order to declare these bikes as awesome highway tourers.
Earlier the crown of the best supersport in 300-400 cc range was associated with KTM’s RC 390 but the recently launched Apache RR 310S offers almost the same performance at a better price point. Now, instead of just comparing the specs, let’s compare their everyday functionalities and decide which one is better worth your money.
After so many years, Royal Enfield has finally launched a new variant of their existing Thunderbird model, the Thunderbird X. The “X” stands for the Urban street factor and the hint of individuality which the bike offers. Royal Enfield took design cues from its users and created a bike which its customers were already making in the first place, by customizing motorcycles from their existing lineup. The bike looks fresh, light and suited for the urban environment, exactly what the Company intended it to be. So let’s take a closer look at what has changed from the previous model and what is still the same.
Love it or hate it, you can’t deny the presence of Royal Enfield in the 2 wheeler segment. It's a cult brand, there is no denying that. It has the most selling motorcycles in the middleweight segment. Even today, when many of the manufacturers are using lightweight materials to build their bikes, Royal Enfield uses metal to carve the body of its motorcycles. We all know that there is a lot of history behind the brand and that they have been in production since 1901. This in itself is no easy feat, but today we are going to talk about what Royal Enfield motorcycles currently have that makes them one of the most loved motorcycles in our country.
Since the dawn of Modern IC engines, manufacturers have made countless configurations of them. There is a V-twin, an inline 3, V4, single cylinder and many more. Some of them like the V-Twin stood the test of time and have been with us for about 80 years. There is also another parameter related to the engine, with which manufacturers seem to play a lot and that is Crank rotation. We have 90-degree crank, 180-degree crank and so on.
Bajaj Pulsar NS160 has two new competition in two consecutive days, in the form of Honda X-Blade 160 and Apache RTR 160 4V. All three motorcycles fall under the same category of naked bikes, and are also priced quite similarly. But the similarities end there, as the bikes have different stuff to offer. Here's a quick comparison between the three motorcycles, choosing the winners in every aspect.
Before going to 2009, we must take a step back to 1999 when the Hero Honda CBZ was launched. Pulsar series may have been the ones responsible for kick starting the motorcycling craze in India but its seed was first laid in the ground by CBZ 1999. The bike had no electric start, no pass light, no tubeless tires and no alloy wheels either. I am telling you this because we should always know where our roots are. We should always know where and how we started and how far we have come in just a span of 19 years.
One of my friends bought a new Royal Enfield Classic 350 BS4 recently. I was also there with him as he had urged me to take care to not let anyone rip him off in the name of accessories or “extra charges”. After waiting for 2 hours, let me repeat, after waiting for 2 gruesome hours we got our bike delivered. Apparently, it wasn’t the preparation of bike which took so much time; it was all the confusion in the showroom. Anyways, showroom services are a talk of another time; let’s get back to the bike.
