You have finally come of age and can get yourself a scooter. Well, the scooter has come of age as well
We’ve all been there, turning 16 and being allowed to (legally) ride a scooter on the streets. There’s no greater purpose to your life than badgering your parents with ridiculous reasons on why you need a scooter when you’ve survived 15 years just fine without one. And there’s no greater joy than the moment they give in to your ridiculous reasons. For years, the go-to scooter for this particular demographic has been the Dio – the boy racer’s wet dream. I mean, have you seen the angles on that thing? Oh, but scoots have moved forward, and how. Everything from design to performance and features have evolved over the last two years, and we’ve got together the best of the lot.
The Honda Grazia is the Dio’s spiritual successor – aggressively styled but remains an Activa under the skin. The Activa 125, this time around. The Aprilia SR125 is a step down from the SR150 – it has the same chassis and design, but a smaller engine and a revised CVT. The TVS Ntorq is TVS Motors’ first attempt at a 125cc scoot after dabbling in smaller capacity ones for years.

WAR WORDS WORLDS
Indians might not have played a deciding role in the previous world wars but now, our participation is much more evident
XTREME MACHINE
Maserati's racing history is a patchwork of epic highs and long absences, so can the MCXtrema - a track only version of its latest supercar-bring back the glory days?
WET AND WILD
No doors, no roof, no boot, but at least there's a windscreen... Paul Horrell pulls on his waterproof trousers and takes the Nomad 2 for a spin
STREAM W0RKS
This is an MG. Yes, really. Turns out it's got form in streamliners too...just ask Stirling Moss
A map and a compass.
Dacia got a foothold in the UK with cheapness, now it wants toughness on its CV. Can the new Duster handle Morocco's heat and locate a Dakar team in the desert - no GPS allowed?
A RECKLESS DEVELOPMENT?
Farewell, V10, this is the new Lamborghini Temerario, a 907bhp V8 hybrid. A worthy Huracán successor, or a misstep from the Italian firm?
