Yamaha launched the FZ25, the company's first ever 250cc bike in India at a compelling sticker price of Rs. 1,19,500 (ex-Delhi). And so here we are, riding the motorcycle in the serene locales of Goa. Here are the first impressions of the all-new Yamaha FZ25 fresh from a beach shack in Goa.
The entry-level Duke may not be an all-new bike but gets enough changes to bring it in line with the updated Duke family. So, having ridden the 2017 KTM 250 Duke recently, it's now time to see what changes the 2017 KTM 200 Duke has to offer.
The good folks at Triumph Motorcycles India were kind enough to invite us to Barcelona, Spain to test ride the 2017 Street Triple and yes, this was a revelation.
Apart from the updates to meet BS IV emission norms, the engine remains the same, the overall silhouette remains the same, although there are a few minor aesthetic changes to differentiate it from the earlier Pulsar 200NS.
Aesthetically, there is nothing to differentiate the new Pulsar 150. The only cosmetic changes are new colours, new decals, new faux carbon fibre finish on some plastic bits and a matte finish for the engine. The exhaust is new too, and now gets a larger bore for better performance and tonal quality.
Along with the 2017 RC 390, KTM has also introduced the 2017 RC 200 in the country that gets new a paint scheme, updated instrument console, wider mirrors and most importantly a BSIV compliant engine. Are the upgrades any good? We took the new KTM RC 200 to the Bajaj test track in Pune to see that the bike has to offer.
The 2017 KTM RC 390 has been introduced in the country and gets a host of segment-leading changes including additional tech like Ride-by-Wire, adjustable levers, side mounted exhaust, while you now also get the much needed bigger brakes along with wider mirrors. As the RC 390 promises to be an even better offering, we took the supersport to Bajaj's test track in Pune to see what the changes are all about.
We ride Bajaj Auto's latest entrant in the commuter segment - the all-new Bajaj V12. The bike shares its design and styling with the V15 and promises to be a more efficient and value for money motorcycle, expanding on the same premium brand image that the V15 has created. But does the V12 really make the cut? Let's find out.
The new Splendour and Achiever models have re-ignited the spark in the company and Hero MotoCorp hopes that the new Glamour will do the trick in the 125cc segment.
