If you have been following Royal Enfield’s communication around the Hunter 350, you would know the focus is on the motorcycle’s ability to tackle the hustle and bustle of city life. And rightly so, because it is lovely on our daily commutes. However, it was a mixed bag on our 1000km-plus highway outing.

How different, or similar are these two motorcycles to each other? We answer!

It's obvious within a few hundred meters of riding the Hunter 350 that it is an easy bike to ride. It's not as light as a 150cc or a 200cc motorcycle. And its clutch pull is borderline heavy. But, the way the motorcycle moves along with the rider's inputs - without nary a surprise or tantrum - makes it easy to ride and like, especially in the city.

TVS has made sure to make the new Raider 125 fun enough to compete against its well-established competition. But is it enough? We rode the new TVS Raider 125 to bring you a comprehensive road test review of the motorcycle.

This is the new TVS Raider. It's a 125cc motorcycle. It is being positioned as a sporty commuter motorcycle and TVS is hoping that young Indians will buy this bike in good numbers.

We spent some time with the new SP 125 to find out if, despite losing the ‘Shine’ moniker, does the motorcycle still shine in the real world?

Now, when Yamaha launched the R15 V4 with snazzy updates, the MT 15 was sure to follow suit. And here it is, in its second generation — the MT 15 Version 2.0. What all has changed? Does it offer even more value for money now? We find out here.…

The Hero Xtreme 125R is quite an exciting motorcycle and competes against the TVS Raider 125. But, how exciting can a commuter actually be? Well, that’s exactly what we will be finding out in this road test review.

Hero MotoCorp’s Xtreme range of motorcycles was all about commuting with style. The 150cc range helped the brand capture some decent market share. Then it launched the Xtreme 200R – a way to capture the growing needs of premium motorcycles.

What you see here is the Yamaha R15 V4 World GP 60th Anniversary Edition. Even though we have ridden the standard and M variants of the R15 previously, we felt this special edition needed a section of its own.

Should you be spending around Rs 1.83 lakh on the R15, or put in Rs 26,000 more and go for the bigger RC 200?

We have ridden the Yamaha R15 V4 previously, albeit for a short period wherein we couldn’t exploit the full potential of the heavy updates it has received. So, we did this time, and here is what we came back with.

It gets the same engine as the Dominar but some of its cycle parts, dimensions, and geometry are similar to the NS200. So, in theory, it should offer the punchy performance of the Dominar and the agility and lightness of the NS200. But is that the case in the real world?

For most of us, tyres are just black coloured hoops made of rubber that are attached to motorcycle wheels. They are meant to roll with least resistance possible, offer the most amount of grip in every situation and be resistant to punctures. It all seems very easy but there’s a lot and I mean unfathomably lot to design and develop tyres. It’s something that struck me in the two days I spent experiencing two new tyres by TVS Eurogrip.
