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 looking for a compact SUV in the last year or so, you’ll know the shortlist usually looks the same. Creta, Seltos, Brezza, Nexon. They’re all sensible, well-equipped and sell in big numbers for good reason. But every now and again you come across something that feels a bit different. Something … 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. Kawasaki is currently running a £750 voucher offer on the 2026 Ninja 1100SX. Not a straight discount off the list price, not free accessories bundled in a glossy pack, but a £750 … Read more
When Kawasaki announced the Ninja 500 for the Indian market at ₹5.76 lakh (ex-showroom), I’ll admit my first reaction was cautiously optimistic.

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.

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
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.
