Yamaha Rides In The BS6 FZ25

After making us wait for months, Yamaha finally launched the BS6 FZ25 in the Indian market. With the addition of the new motorcycle, all the popular bikes in its portfolio are now BS6 compliant. However, the new Yamaha FZ25 BS6 comes with a shocking price hike of Rs 17,200! Find out the reasoning for the massive premium here.

Hero Xtreme 160R Tested

We finally got to test the much-awaited Xtreme 160R which got delayed due to the COVID-19 lockdown across the county. The Xtreme 160R delivers on the styling front and even has the numbers to match its rivals on paper. But, what about real-world performance? Here are the answers: Hero Xtreme 160R Road Test Review.

Mojo Receives A BS6 Revival

While the BS6 emission norms rung the death knell for many motorcycles in the Indian market, it also gave an unlikely bike a new lease of life. Mahindra launched the BS6 version of the Mahindra Mojo in our market and unlike its predecessor, it will be only available in a single UT variant. While styling and features remain identical to the older bike, it gets a fuel-injected motor and dual-channel ABS comes standard. But the main question is are there any buyers for the 2020 Mahindra Mojo?

Honda’s Litre-Class Monster Incoming

Honda added a much-needed dose of adrenaline to the Indian two-wheeler market by opening bookings for the 2020 CBR1000RR-R. The upcoming Honda superbike is the most powerful motorcycle from Honda to go on sale in India. Headline figures for the new bike come in the form of 217.5PS power and 201kg kerb weight, which makes it one of the lightest bikes in its class.

However, going by the recently-released teaser of the exhaust note , it is likely to pack an old-school air-cooled long-stroke fuel-injected motor displacing somewhere around 350-400cc. That’s a complete departure from the single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine in the Rebel. Expect plenty of low-end torque accompanied by the traditional Honda-levels of refinement in the upcoming bike.
