If you’ve spent any time trawling through Indian two-wheeler forums or scrolling through bike pages over the last few weeks, you’ve probably seen it pop up. A dark silhouette, a sharp LED headlight, a few moody teaser shots and a line that’s got people talking: the Avore electric motorcycle is on the way, with a … Read more
Walking into the Aprilia showroom in Pune last weekend, I expected the usual crowd of teenagers eyeing the Storm 125. Instead, the attention was all focused on a single scooter tucked near the entrance. It wore a matte grey livery with gold accents and a numbered plaque on the apron. This was the new Aprilia … Read more
I was standing at the back of the launch event in Mumbai last week, watching the crowd surge forward when the sheet came off. It wasn’t the usual polite applause. There was a genuine buzz. When Aprilia announced the Tuono 457 Special Edition at Rs 3.99 lakh (ex-showroom), you could feel the shift in the … Read more
If you’ve spent any time around Vietnam’s streets, you’ll know the sound. It’s not the growl of big bikes or the whine of scooters. It’s the sharp, eager crackle of a two-stroke at full tilt or, these days, the crisp four-stroke buzz of a 135LC being wrung out through its gears. For years now, the … Read more
If you’ve spent any time scanning dealer adverts or hanging around bike forums this spring, you may have spotted something a bit tempting.

The Ninja brand carries weight—literally and figuratively—but the question everyone’s asking is … Read more
Honda has been teasing details about the 2026 CR-V for months now, and having spent some time digging through information from dealer previews, industry contacts, and what Honda’s engineering team has been willing to share, I can tell you that three specific features stand out as genuinely significant changes rather than just incremental updates. The … Read more
Bajaj has just launched the 2026 Pulsar 220F, and I’ll admit, part of me is surprised this bike is still getting updates. The Pulsar 220 first appeared way back in 2007, making it nearly two decades old as a platform. Yet here we are in 2026, and Bajaj is giving it another lease on life … Read more
There’s a specific sound that defined a generation of Indian motorcyclists. It wasn’t the refined hum of a Japanese inline-four or the thump of a British single. It was the distinct, slightly raspy idle of a Bajaj Pulsar. I remember buying my first Pulsar 220F back in 2012. It felt like owning a superbike back … Read more
The key handover wasn’t dramatic. There was no ribbon cutting, no crowd of photographers. Just the service manager handing me a sleek black fob and pointing towards the bay where it sat under the fluorescent lights. The Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE. Rendez-Vous Edition. It looked smaller in person than it does in the brochures, tucked … Read more
