For the longest time, buying a classic-style motorcycle in India meant walking into a Royal Enfield showroom. You didn’t really shop around; you just picked your color. But standing at the launch event in Mumbai yesterday, the atmosphere felt different. There was a buzz, a sense of rivalry that’s been missing for years. Classic Legends … Read more
If you walk into any off-road enthusiast group in India and mention the word “Hilux,” the reaction is almost religious. It’s not just a pickup truck; it’s a symbol of indestructibility. For years, the Toyota Hilux has been available here, but mostly as a high-priced CBU (Completely Built Unit) import. Now, with rumors swirling that … Read more
There’s a specific moment on the track, usually coming out of Turn 3 at Buddh International Circuit, where the noise of the world fades and all you hear is the engine.

I remember the first time I planned a long-distance tour on a scooter. It was 2019, and I was riding a humble 150cc machine from Mumbai to Pune. My friends laughed. “You’ll break your back,” one said. “You’ll get blown off the highway by a truck,” said another. They weren’t entirely wrong. That ride was … Read more

There was a handwritten board next to it that looked almost too good to be true. “Special Offer: ₹2.89 Lakh Off.” My first thought … Read more
Walking into the Classic Legends press briefing in Pune yesterday, I expected the usual updates. Maybe a new color scheme for the Jawa 42, or perhaps a confirmation of the long-rumored 650cc platform. What I didn’t expect was the sheet being pulled off a massive cruiser that dwarfed the Perak Bobber sitting next to it. … Read more

The images, captured by enthusiasts near QJ Motor’s facilities in China, reveal a motorcycle that addresses several criticisms of the original while adding features that bring it closer to competing with established European … Read more
Walking into the launch event in Bangalore last week, the air conditioning was fighting a losing battle against the heat of the crowd. Everyone was there for one number: ₹59,990. When the covers came off the new electric scooter, the room didn’t erupt in cheers so much as a collective murmur of disbelief. In a … Read more

Not official press releases, but the kind of whispers that happen when service managers talk to regional bosses over chai.
