Ducati Diavel 1260 S vs Indian FTR 1200 S
The outliers of the motorcycling world, the Diavel 1260 and FTR 1200 hate to be stereotyped. Well, both the Diavel and FTR are very different from each other yet eerily similar in nature. The Diavel 1260 is Ducati’s idea of a fast-paced cruiser that goes round corner like a Monster; is freakingly fast like a dragster in a straight-line yet liveable on a daily basis. The FTR 1200 on the other hand is a proper American muscle bike with its roots etched deep into flat-tracking but is more than meets the eye. Its essentially a street-tracker with a potent motor but that can also do a bit of off-roading. We have brought two of these iconic machines together in a comparison like lever before. Who wins? Find out in the cover story of the March issue of Fast Bikes India.

TVS iQube
Our exclusive story this month comes straight from TVS Motor’s backyard that has seen the inception of an all-new electric scooter - the iQube. Where does it fit into the world of Chetaks and Athers?

2020 Ducati Panigale V4S
Panigale is the bestselling superbike in the world today, contributing to 25 per cent of the global superbike numbers! The V4 has had a big hand in this feat and with the 2020 iteration, Ducati has gone a step ahead and made it even more refined and characterful

Bajaj Chetak
The iconic Chetak badge has been resurrected but in an all-new electric avatar. Does the new Chetak have it in itself to succeed the much-revered icon that had a waiting period of over twenty years during its glory days?

2020 TVS Apache RR 310
Riding modes on a sub-50bhp motorcycle may sound gimmicky but the RR310 now offers a lot more than just ride-by-wire. Is this the best TVS motorcycle ever? 

Honda Fireblade generations
A 22-page guide on the iconic Honda that changed the definition of a litre-class superbike. Read it before we bring you the review of the all-new 2020 Fireblade in the April issue


We are celebrating the smashing of a world record! Our testers astride the Bajaj Pulsar NS 160 not only set new national records but smashed the world record for the longest no hands wheelie. We also dive deep into British icon Norton’s future in the hands of TVS. We get our hands on the lovely BMW R 18 — a motorcycle from Germany that has its sights set on the Americans. We pit the Aprilia SR 160 Race against the Yamaha RayZR Street Rally to see which one comes out on top when it comes to outright thrills. And we also review updated machines from Royal Enfield including the new 2021 Himalayan and the BS6 Classic 350.

The February 2021 issue of Fast Bikes India is headlined by the Triumph Trident! The Trident is set to the British motorcycles maker’s most affordable motorcycle yet and is scheduled for an India launch in March. With a 660cc in-line triple mated to a new chassis with familiar components from Showa and Nissin, can the Trident become a new stepping stone for riders looking to progress to bigger machines? We ride it on highways, as well as twisty roads in the UK to find out. 
Closer to home, we have set the national record for the fastest wheelie over a quarter mile astride the Bajaj Pulsar NS 200, certified by the FMSCI and India Book of Records. This record was months in the making, with resident stunter Hrishi Mandke training both mentally and physically for the attempt. Read the full story of how it went down, the challenges we faced and how we pushed through and made it happen. 
We’ve got all the coverage of the Dakar in this issue as well. Hero MotoSports had a bittersweet outing. Indian rider C S Santosh had a bad crash that put him out of the rally, while his teammates Buhler and J-Rod put in top 15 performances. TVS Racing’s Harith Noah pulled of a spectacular 20th place finish — the highest for an Indian yet. We get talking with him, about his journey up the ranks in TVS Racing, prepping for the Dakar in a difficult 2020 and what it was like to make it to the finish line this year. Ashish Raorane participated in the Malle Moto class and had a rough ride himself, crashing out but then chasing to restart when he could and make it to the finish line. We even have a brilliant photo-story by Ishaan Bhataiya that tells the story of the Dakar through the lens of a photographer. All this and more inside!

We put the new Honda H’ness CB350 head-to-head against the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 to see if the Honda can crack the neo-retro formula. The Meteor 350 is brimming with character and it even won the comparison test against the Jawa and the Benelli Imperiale 400, meaning by no means will the Honda have it easy. We also get astride the KTM 250 Adventure and Aprilia’s sexy maxi-scooter, the SXR 160. Rookie wheelman Suvrat gets astride the Jawa Perak and also narrates his experiences from the TVS Young Media Racer Programme. 

Ultimate Sportsbike 2020: It’s the last issue of 2020 but  the pandemic hasn’t been so bad for the sports bike fraternity. We’ve seen the genius of Honda’s all-new Fireblade, Ducati’s baby Panigale V2 and Triumph’s final super sport hurrah in the form of the brilliant Daytona 765 Moto 2 joining the regulars. The veterans too received their own batch of updates starting with our favourite – the Aprilia RSV4 1100 factory with its gen-2 Ohlins, Ducati’s ferocious Panigale V4 with its own set of wings to keep it on the ground and several homologation specials. A couple of stalwarts remain unchanged but still deserve a place in this year’s ultimate showdown and that list includes the Suzuki GSX-R 1000R and Kawasaki ZX-10RR and of course the Yamaha R1M. Last year’s winner – the BMW S 1000 RR remains largely unchanged but why fix what ain’t broke, right?
The ensemble includes nine of the best superbikes that you can buy today and we have tested them on road – everything from a smooth road to bumpy farm tracks, motorways and high streets even, for comfort and usability. In the second part we take them to Cadwell Park circuit in the UK to test their agility, stability, feel, tech and brakes because these are the things that you’d talk about at the coffee shop. And we have also tested the bikes on the dyno and the scales. That’s not all, we have also data-logged everything collating 0-160kmph timings and 160-0 deceleration times to throw some science into the test. It’s the ultimate test of the ultimate bikes on road, track, dyno and scales. It’s the Ultimate Sportsbike Test 2020 and there can be only one winner.

The last decade belonged to the Dukes and RCs but the following decade is going to be all about Adventure, starting with the much awaited 390 Adventure that has finally debuted in the country after being showcased at EICMA last year. The 390 Adventure may seem like a jacked up 390 Duke but you’ll be surprised with its capabilities. We have ridden it in one of the most challenging off-road parks – the 19 Degree North Adventure Park. The park is home to level-3 trails which included riding up a dried-up waterfall! The 390 Adventure came up unscathed at the end of it all which is saying something. Read our cover story to know all about the most important launch of the year. But that’s not the only KTM we have featured in this issue:
KTM 890 Duke R
If you thought the 790 Duke was mad, hear what we have to say for the 890 Duke R – the evil twin! We also believe that it’s the best naked KTM has ever made. You don’t want to miss this one!
Ducati Panigale V2
The 959 Panigale was not a friendly machine to ride on an everyday basis. The V2 is probably the best middleweight in Ducati’s lineup ever. Do you still need that V4?
Ultimate Superbike Finale
The December issue featured the best superbikes that were launched last year. BMW S 1000 RR, Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory and Ducati Panigale V4 S came out on top. But which is the Ultimate Superbike?
2020 Kawasaki Z900
The Z900 has finally received much needed updates included traction control and a TFT-based cluster. Is this the best Japanese naked in the country today?
Suzuki Gixxer 250 &JawaForty; Two
This Valentine’s Day, our correspondents take out their beloved motorcycles out for a ride. Not sans their partners, of course. Can there be an ideal motorcycle for Valentine’s Day?

It can’t get any bigger than this! 2020 starts with a bang as we bring you the third anniversary issue of Fast Bikes India featuring the best middleweight nakedsin the country to find out if the game has changed. The KTM 790 Duke was one of the most anticipated launches of 2019 and when we rode it around Bajaj’s test track a couple of months ago, we knew that things were about to go upside down. To find out if our hypothesis is true or not, we have pitted it against the class-topper – the Triumph Street Triple S, the exotic Italian – the Ducati Monster 821 and the trustworthy Japanese – the Suzuki GSX-S750. It’s the only comparison story in the country as of today so you don’t really want to miss it! But wait, there’s a lot more:
Triumph Rocket 3
The biggest motorcycle on the planet (in terms of ceecees) is here in India. But does it offer anything more than bragging rights? We tell you all about it as we ride the Rocket 3 to a volcano (really!)
Benelli Leoncino 250 vs Honda CB300R
Benelli’s entry-level scrambler isn’t really the most affordable 250 in the segment. In fact, it costs almost as much as the KTM 390 Duke! But that’s not it’s target audience anyway. However, Honda’s CB300R comes very close-owing to its neo-retro nature. Does the Benelli stand any chance?
Three ‘Fast Bikes’
Indian motorcycling scene has come of age today but how did this really happen? We feature the three catalysts that brought the #ThrillOfRiding to the people – Bajaj Pulsar, Yamaha YZF-R15 and KTM 390 Duke
2019 India Bike week
A lot of manufacturers decided to ditch the Auto Expo and launch their motorcycles at India’s biggest biking festival. Interviews, behind-the-scenes action, launch coverage; we got it all covered for you 
Suzuki Gixxer 250 vs Yamaha FZ25
The 250cc segment hasn’t really taken off in the country. The FZ25 is the best power commuter country for sure but what does the Gixxer 250 bring to the table?

It’s that time of the year again! Yes, its time to assemble the best superbikes that were launched in 2019 and put them through a thorough test that not only deals with the dyno figures but track and road too. This year, we have with us the all-new BMW S 1000 RR M Sport with ‘normal’ headlights, joining the mental Ducati Panigale V4 S. Of course, the longstanding champion from Aprilia – the RSV4 has received subtle updates in the form of 1100 Factory variant which will go up against the Japanese megabikes including the Yamaha R1 M, Honda Fireblade SP, Suzuki Gixer, Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10 RR and ZX-6R. Which one will come out on top? Find out in the Ultimate Superbike Test. That’s not it; there’s a lot more hoonery on two-wheels:

2019 EICMA
KTM’s much awaited 390 Adventure has finally debuted along with the Aprilia RS660. Take a good look before you decide what to buy in 2020

Royal Enfield Classic 350 vs Jawa vs Benelli Imperiale 400
Classic motorcycles thrive on nostalgia,something the Royal Enfield Classic 350 andJawa have in spades. Is the BenelliImperiale 400 fighting a losing battle?

It’s quick, it’s electric, it’s agile, it’s sexy and it’s Made in India! Is the Ultraviolette F77 as desirable as regular ICE-powered motorcycles?

Red Bull Ace of Dirt
C S Santosh along with Red Bull has come up with an endure race like no other! The winner gets an all-new Hero Xpulse and a chance to train under the champ himself

This month is all about fast nakeds including the eagerly awaited KTM 790 Duke. Katoomers have been anticipating the launch of the first ever parallel-twin from Austria with bated breath and finally, KTM India has answered their prayers. It’s a riot to ride owing to a relentless motor that never stops accelerating. But its USP is the surreal handling; it’s nothing like we’ve experienced so far, pushing the benchmark when it comes to agility. And mind you, the benchmark has been the mighty Triumph Street Triple RS so far, when it comes to middleclass roadsters. Also featured in the issue is the 2020 ‘Triple RS which has received Euro 5 trickery withoutputting on weight. It looks sinister thanks to the made-up eyebrowsborrowed from Tiger and goes like stink, as always. But that’s not all; we have also ridden the first ever hyper-naked on the planet! The MV AgustaBrutale 1000 Serie Oro won the award of the most beautiful motorcycle at EICMA last year, but that simply underplays its performance. With 208bhp on tap and a sub-200kg kerb weight, the Brutale is absolutely brutal! Phew. Want more? There’re a lot of Fast Bikes headed your way:
Ducati 916:
We simply cannot get enough of the most iconic Ducati ever! Mind you, it was built under the same roof as the Cagivas then

We brake monotony by riding the Himalayan to the, erm, Himalayas

The exotics from Varese embody emotions and raw power. Yes, every MV Agusta bike guarantees the Thrill of Riding, but falls short in the practicality stakes. Not the Turismo Veloce 800, though. The sports tourer, with the  Brutale 800's heart and the F3's visage, is a comfortable machine to commute to work, and behaves like a typical no-holds-barred MV when you whack open the throttle. It’s surely one of the most usable MVs, but is it the best? Find out in this month’s cover story. 

And there’s a lot more:

Benelli Leoncino:
The Leoncino is everything a Benelli Scrambler should be, with good looks and apt build quality. Has Benelli finally come of age?

Bajaj Pulsar 125: 
The smallest Pulsar yet is sure to bring in the numbers, but does it have the credibility to sport the revered Pulsar badge?

Indian FTR 1200 S:
Indian Motorcycle’s attempt at a street tracker is a sure-shot winner, packing enough power with that typical American character.

Triumph Speed Twin:
The Speed Twin was among Triumph’s best-sellers after World War II. Can the latest-gen iteration hold a candle to the original?

Style vs Smile:
Yamaha MT-09, Kawasaki ZX-6R and KTM 690 SMC R — three bikes with three different genres, all of whom are high on fun. So which one comes out on top?

Bimota VDue 500:
Ever heard of a bike that killed its brand? This 'stroker managed to do so!

CSS 2019:
Rookie learns the art of cornering from the best coaches in the business at the California Superbike School

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 - Powertronic:
Powertonic’s performance bits put to the test...and we have the results!

Tech through time:
Motorcycle gadgetry has come a long way. So where are we headed next?

Used bike guide - Aprilia Tuono V4:
The maddest naked out there makes for a great buy. And Aprilias depreciate rapidly, so it won’t be difficult to bargain for one 

Montra Downtown:
An affordable cycle for the daily commute and even the weekend joyride. So is it the best cycle in its segment today?

America has always been about gas-guzzling, fire-breathing V8s and window-shattering V-twins. And when one of the most thoroughbred bikemakers in the world decides to go the electric way, you must take notice. This is what’s exactly happening with the launch of one of the most radical motorcycles to have come from the land of The Big Apple. Yes, the Harley-Davidson Livewire is the first of many motorcycles that are set to redefine the Harley portfolio. The plan is to bring in a new breed of customers. But does the Livewire pack enough punch to replace the mid-weight, ICE-powered petrols? Find out in our exclusive first ride of what promises to redefine the future of motorcycling. But this isn’t the only electric in the September issue:
Revolt RV 400:
Should you be spending your money on the RV 400 or opt for the more premium Ather 450?
Yamaha MT-15 vs KTM 125 Duke:
If you’re a college kid, upgrading from your Honda Dio to a motorcycle which one should be on top of your list?  
Yamaha FZ-S V3.0
The original gangster of the entry-level naked segment is back in a new avatar. But is it too little, too late?

Greaves Ampere Zeal
A mainstream electric scooter with a soul. That’s what our road testers think about the all-new scooter from the house of Crompton. 
Triumph Tiger Trails
Vijay Parmar takes the Tiger troupe to Spiti this month. Find out how he helped the owners tackle the challenging terrains.
Trek Domane AL 4
The Domane AL 4 is a lightweight, racing cycle that can help you hit the racetrack or even highways at high speeds. But it can do a lot more than just going fast.
Use bike guide: Suzuki Hayabusa
The Hayabusa is one of the most sought out superbikes in the used bike market today. We bring you a lowdown on how to go about buying one for yourself

The August issue is headlined by the Indian FTR 1200 S; the flat-track inspired scorcher that is already here in India (yup, you didn’t know that, did you?) to take on the European biggies. The first Indian to get TC and all kinds of gadgetary, the FTR is unlike any American motorcycle we’ve seen so far. And guess what, it's based on an all-new platform that is sure to give birth to many more iterations including an ADV. Speaking of which, the baap of all ADVs has been finally ridden on road, slush and some epic trails in our backyard. Yes, we are talking about the BMW R 1250 GS Adventure and its middle-class sibling - the F 850 GS Adventure. That’s not all, the Himalayan faces challenge from the latest off-roading Hero, the Xpulse 200.

Also inside:

2020 BMW S 1000 RR:
The fourth-gen S 1000 RR has been in the news for the right reasons for the last year. The international media can't stop going ga-ga over the Beamer but does it really make sense for our conditions? 

KTM RC 125:
The R15 has been the go-to faired motorcycle for almost a decade. Does the RC 125 have what it takes to lure the youth? We test it out on Bajaj’s test track, in the urban jungle and even on the twisties to bring you the verdict

Aprilia Storm 125 & Trek Marlin 7:
Two similarly priced two-wheeled machines; one with a motor and the other with pedals. Which one provides more fun on road and trails?

Aprilia SR 150 ABS:
The SR 150 is among the very few 150cc scooters in the country to get the safety net. But is the update all about ABS or is there more than meets the eye?

Yamaha Tenere 900:
Yamaha might be stuck with the scooters and entry-level motorcycles in the country but don’t forget; they also make the brilliant Tenere range of dual sports including the Tenere 700

Powertronic ECU for RE Interceptor 650:
Powertronic has sent us a couple of performance upgrades for the beloved long-term Royal Enfield Interceptor 650. But how do you install the quickshifter as well as the ECU?

Ducati's bruiser cruiser gets even more sinful! The Diavel has been associated with a unique blend of mind numbing performance, outlandish styling and surreal handling. And the new Diavel 1260 takes the game to another level! It will be launched in India in August but we've already ridden the devil

Triumph Scrambler 1200
The most hardcore scrambler out there has finally made it to India and we have tested it over hardcore trails, curated by the baap of off-roading, Vijay Parmar! Does it live up to the test?

2019 TVS Apache RR 310
Slipper clutch and an all-new Phantom Black colour. Is that it? Not really, there's a lot more than meets the eye here! The adorable RR 310 gets better than ever

Hero Maestro Edge 125 and Pleasure
India's first fuel injected scooter comes from the world's largest two-wheeler manufacturer and it's not an Activa, mind you! Plus, the Pleasure gets a new-retro touch to make it more relevant in today's times

This month its all-about the home-grown specials that we put to the test both on the track as well as off-road. The much anticipated Hero Xpulse was launched and we had loads of fun riding it on a dirt-track. Also launched was the Hero Xtreme 200S and we put on our racing suit as we went corner carving around the BIC with it. We also sampled the new Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 on the BIC. 
Hero Xpulse 200
Years of speculation and waiting later, we finally got our hands on the Hero Xpulse 200. We put the entry-level ADV to the test and even spent some time with the touring focused Xpulse 200 T. 
Hero Xtreme 200 S
We put down some hot laps on the BIC astride Hero’s fully faired Xtreme – the spiritual successor to the cult icon – the Karizma.
Suzuki Gixxer SF 250
The crowd favourite Gixxer SF gets a big brother and we went all guns blazing with it on the track. How does it tackle the corners on the BIC?
R 1250 GS and R 1250 RT
You won’t be left longing for the big guns either. We rode the boxer twins from BMW, the R 1250 GS and R 1250 RT through some testing roads and trails to find out for ourselves if the 1250s have improved upon the 1200s drastically. 
Suzuki Katana
We take the new Suzuki Katana for a spin in Japan and take a look into the past to understand the Katana’s legendary status.
TRK 502X vs Versys-X 300
Not to keep the adventure junkies hanging, we pit the Benelli TRK 502X against the Kawasaki Versys-X 300 as we ride through our favourite off-road sections.

Summer is here and we have tested Bajaj’s flagship motorcycle that has been under the knife to bridge the gap to the competition in terms of both power and features. To find out how much better it has become , we pit it against rivals – KTM 390 Duke and BMW G 310 R. 

Bajaj Dominar vs rivals 

Will the power-cruiser live up to its UG moniker or will it come across as a watered-down orange bruiser? Find out more in this issue’s cover story!

BMW F 850 GS

The F 850 GS seems to be the proverbial elder sibling to the F 750 GS, what with 12 more horses, 4Nm more of torque and a lot of off-road specific wizardry. But does that justify the asking price? 

YAMAHA MT-15

Yamaha has brought the MT moniker to the masses and it looks promising, with almost all the bells-and-whistles of the R15 V3.0 in an appealing, naked package. But is that all it is? We find out, and at the BIC no less! 

BENELLI TRK 

Benelli’s new-found partnership with the Mahavir Group brings us the TRK duo. These off-road capable ADVs are aimed at enthusiasts with pockets not yet deep enough to afford the top-shelf stuff. But does that mean they’re a compromise? 

DUCATI HYPERMOTARD 950

Ducati’s groove seems to be about pushing the limits. So should the mental supermoto show even milliseconds hesitation to proclaim its Italian heritage? Nope. But you’ll need to read our story to know exactly how unapologetic it is!

PLUS MORE

The motorcycle way of life involves understanding how they work. And getting a clear picture of this means tinkering with them. That’s what we’re aiming to provide in our helpfully-titled Workshop section which debuts in this issue and of course, there’s Cartier Concours d’ Elegance for all classic bike aficionados. Lastly, we bring you the best accompaniment to the Thrill of pedal-powered Riding in the form of the Giant Roam3, a bicycle that claims to be able to do it all, and we call its bluff. 

All this and much more in the April issue of Fast bikes India.

Summer is coming and we set the temperature rising with another packed issue headlined by Kawasaki’s saucy new ZX-6R that jumps into a segment vacated by the Daytona 675R. We also sample the brand new Yamaha YZF-R3 that’s coming to India anytime now. Resident video maestro Alameen returns to CSS after six years, Abhishek gets his hands dirty on the mid-weight Beemer, the F 750 GS, the young guns from office pit the newly launched Hero Destini 125 against the segment leaders and we pedal the ultra-light Trek bicycle. All this and more in the March issue of Fast Bikes India Magazine, on stands now!

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R: We test the brand new Kawasaki on road as well as track and for good measure we also take the GSX-1000R to find out how close it gets to the superbike benchmark

Up in the air: Three legends of freestyle motocross riding set ablaze the atmosphere at the Gateway of India with their talents as a part of the Red Bull FMX Jam

Friend with Benefits: Vishal tames the Tiger in Rajasthan and finds out if the ever-so-dynamic ADV from Triumph survives several days of hardcore long distance motorcycling.

Race Ready: Health, environment, lifestyle… our PED’LLING section promotes it all. And this month, the spotlight is on the ultra-lightweight Trek Emonda ALR 4

In this mad issue, we bring the Ducati Panigale V4 and the Desmosedici RR to create one incredible story. We also sampled the Speed Twin in sunny Spain and came back tripping on this clever alliteration, sorry iteration, of the Triumph Bonneville. Back home we try to figure out which bike is best for what kind of motorcycle tourer, and go dirty dancing with the Triumph Tiger 800 XCx. Meanwhile two of our boys have a mother of fight trying to decide whether girls dig biker boys or would rather go scooting around this V-Day. Plus there’s all the action from Dakar 2019. And we keep PEDDLIN’ on as we explore what’s a good bicycle for a beginner and how you should go cycle shopping. All this, and much more in the pages of our magazine.

Old is gold as we find out on our second birthday with the first ever ride of the Norton Commando on Indian roads. Stylish and full of character, it’s a proper Brit classic as go up and down the twisties of Lonavala. We have also ridden the new Jawas and got ourselves a taste of the smallest KTM yet. Not to forget a mega shootout of all street naked motorcycles under 300cc. As you can see our 2nd anniversary special is not to be missed because it is packed to the gills. Besides, you might just win fabulous Casio watches for we have a couple to give out. 

Norton Commando – This is the first time anybody has ever ridden this classic British icon on Indian roads, and we are blown with the levels of engagement

Jawa and Forty Two – A slice of nostalgia is what they promise to be as Classic Legends seeks to resurrect the venerable Jawa and its spirit of carefree fun. Do the bikes deliver?

Naked and for the street – From the humble Hero Xtreme 200R to the KTM 250 Duke this is one mega shootout, across capacities and prices, to see what will offer the best bang for buck

Adventurous and Single – If you’re in the market for an adventure tourer at the bottom of the chain, you either have the Himalayan or the G 310 GS. So which one should you be betting on?

One for the road and one for off-road – That’s the story of the Ducati Multistrada 1260 S and the BMW R 1200 GS. A must read

Fast Bikes India; December 2018 Issue brief
The middle weight adventure touring segment has never really existed in India. Until now. All of a sudden there seems to have been an explosion with the arrival of the relatively unknown SWM Superdual T and the much awaited Suzuki V-Strom 650. So we just pit them against one another, throwing in the Kawasaki Versys 650 as the benchmark that already existed.

We've ridden the soon-to-be-launched-in-India Royal Enfield 650 Twins in California and are very, very impressed.

Brutale RR vs MT-09 vs Triple RS: The recently launched MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR takes on the world's best triples on road and track. Will the Yamaha MT-09 prevail or would it be the Triumph Street Triple RS that'd take the crown with its all-round abilities?

The grapevine at EICMA was abuzz with word of the KTM 790 Duke coming to India. While we wait for official confirmation of that from the boffins here in India, we went and did the only thing we could think of. We rode the damn thing and are super kicked with what we’ve experienced. And as if that wasn’t enough, we swung a leg over the beautifully brutal Brutale 800 RR, following it up with the cracker of a motorcycle that is the Yamaha R1M. For the city slickers craving for some crazy fun, we pit the fun to ride Aprilia 125 against the impressive TVS NTorq 125. Which one won? Not the one you think.

This month we pack a mean punch with a posse of small capacity motorcycles that are awesome fun.
