Fast Bikes India Magazine - February 2018

In this issue

Hello and welcome, to the mother of all comparos as we pit the Apache RR 310 against its arch rival the KTM RC 390 and the entire entrenched competition. We have also managed to get our hands on Honda’s fantastic VTR 1000 SP1, the bike that blew the competition at WSBK way back then. For the more convenience-orientated lot, we got the Honda Grazia to lock horns with its 125cc scooter ilk. We got ten exclusive minutes each with MotoGP’s rising star Johann Zarco and with Nick “Voice of MotoGP” Harris, the ringside view from Dakar 2018, and more.
