Aprilia Storm 125 Image Gallery

Aprilia has lowered the entry point to its portfolio with the Storm 125. Priced at Rs 65,000 (ex-showroom Pune), it is the most affordable Aprilia, undercutting the SR 125 by almost Rs 8,000. Here’s our selection of detailed shots of the scooter:

Aprilia has carried over the SR’s sleek design language to the Storm 125 as well. However, in order to differentiate it from its sporty sibling, the Storm 125 gets a new colour scheme with new off-road themed graphics.

While the headlamp shape is similar to the one found in the SR 125, the Storm 125 features a single bulb setup with twin pilot lamps flanking it. This is in contrast with the SR 125’s twin bulb units.

The instrument cluster is the same analogue unit as the SR 125. It gets basic readouts like fuel gauge, speedometer and odometer apart from various tell-tale lights.

The Storm 125 rides on a 12-inch alloy wheels shod with 120-section dual-purpose Vee tyre at the front. A telescopic fork and a 150mm drum brake with CBS are offered as standard.

The Storm 125 features a single hook on the apron to hang your grocery bags. It can also be retracted in case you do not need it.

The single-piece seat looks nicely contoured for comfort. Also, the boot lock is on the side body panel, so you’ll have to remove the key from the apron lock slot if you want to open the underseat storage area.

The Storm 125 has a 15-litre underseat storage capacity. It should hold a half-face helmet comfortably. Unfortunately, there’s no USB port nor boot light on offer.

The flush-fitting pillion footpegs are nicely designed to offer a balance of form and function. That said, it remains to be seen how convenient it is to open up while wearing shoes.

The rear comes with a single shock absorber and 140mm drum brake. Here too, there’s a smaller 12-inch wheel but it is wrapped with a relatively fatter 130-section tyre.

Breaking Down BS6 Carburettors And Fuel Injection Explained

It’s now been nearly 4 months since BS6 emission norms came into effect, and almost all the bikes and scooters sold in India have been updated to meet the stricter regulations. Most recent among these to receive the updates was the TVS Scooty Zest BS6 , which was launched a couple of days ago at Rs 58,640. Like all the BS6 updates we’ve seen so far, this new version is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor, by around Rs 6,000 in this case. And the biggest reason behind these price hikes is the addition of a fuel-injection system. So what exactly is it? And how did bikes work before fuel-injection came into the picture? Let’s take a look: To understand why a fuel-injection (FI) system is needed, we first need to understand its predecessor: the carburettor. Both FI and carburettors do the same job: mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions before it’s sent into the engine. The diagram above shows a carburettor’s layout. Air enters at the top, flows through a narrow con...

Royal Enfield Classic 350 ABS Launched At Rs 161 lakh

Rumours of an ABS-equipped Royal Enfield have been doing rounds for quite some time with many stating that the entire range would get only single-channel ABS, barring the Royal Enfield Himalayan, the upcoming Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 .

As exclusively reported by us earlier , Royal Enfield has launched its highest selling model, the Classic 350 , with dual-channel ABS in India today at Rs 1.61 lakh (ex-showroom Pune).

Apart from the safety net and the 240mm rear disc, the company is also offering this variant in two new colour schemes - Airborne Blue and Stormrider Sand. The instrument cluster now features a low fuel light and an ABS light instead of the ammeter that's offered on the standard Classic 350. The serial...

Honda HNess CB350 Same Price Other Options

Watch Video Review Honda has finally entered the retro segment dominated by Royal Enfield with its very own offering, the H’Ness CB350 . Expected to be priced at approximately Rs 1.90 lakh, the roadster has a lot going for it and is already creating waves in the two-wheeler industry. But if you still feel the CB350 isn’t the bike for you, you could have a look at the following options around the same price bracket. Royal Enfield Classic 350 Stealth Black: Rs 1,86,319 Royal Enfield enthusiasts could stick to the bike that has pretty much been the backbone for the brand. Sure, the Classic 350 isn’t as powerful as the CB350, or as feature-rich, or as err… reliable, but it still has the thump -- if that’s what you’re looking for. Also, without all the fancy gizmos it’s as pure as pure can get -- a classic retro motorcycle!
