Why all of us are wrong about the BMW G310R
BMW G310 R is available in India at a price of Rs 2.99 lakh ex-showroom, besides this fact, most of us already knew exactly how the BMW G310 R is like. Almost every other publication in Britain, USA and Canada already gave us their analysis of the bike, almost a year ago. We were only not aware of the price at which the bike will actually go on sale. I am talking about this because the anticipated celebration of the launch of the bike is not as expected. It is rather being greeted with skepticism and biased critical evaluation.
In any modern day sports bike, all the tools to execute cornering skill are already present and the only thing we need is a proper muscle memory to react accordingly while entering a corner. Let’s take a look at these steps and learn how to corner like a pro.
The Harley Davidson company has confirmed that they are going to develop a brand new product for the Asian markets and particularly for India. The model will be in the range of 250-500 cc and suited to the demands of the emerging economy. What could this 250-500cc model be? let’s take a look.
One of my favorite pastimes is to check how much horsepower a bike makes and then compare it to its weight to see how it will perform in the real world. But many times I am surprised by the numbers thrown at me and the kind of performance I actually experience.
In 2014, Harley Davidson teased us with a potential electric bike for the future. The bike was named LiveWire, it had an unknown electric motor and it was a Harley, yeah, welcome to the 21st century. Recently the company has announced their strategy for 2020, by making bikes in those genres which are quite new to Harley Davidson.
Today we will be talking about Suzuki in particular. The company continues to milk the Gixxer to such a point that the only difference between 2016, 2017 and 2018 Gixxer is the paint scheme. So, here’s what Suzuki should do instead of showing off their coloring skills.
The only reason why I am writing this is that several other pieces on the Internet claim that a 200 CC Dominar is going to launch. I, being an open-minded person decided to read one such article. After going through it, I was left with more questions than answers. To the extent of my limited knowledge, I can say that a 200 CC Dominar will never launch and unlike other clickbait articles, here is my explanation why.
Kawasaki’s latest full faired entry in the middleweight category, the Ninja 400, in many ways, is a great bike. It was launched 8 months ago with a promise of forever changing the middleweight segment. As we all know that it wasn’t able to crack open space for itself in the heart of Indians. Why did it happen that such a neatly designed bike got such a poor reception in India? Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of the motorcycle to understand why.
Riding inside the city is a nightmare for many people. They don’t just get tired but also very angry after commuting to and from their office. Having witnessed this phenomenon myself, I began to wonder if there was more to this condition than bad traffic. Although I reached no conclusion because traffic is and always will be the number 1 source of agony, the thought process blessed me with another set of points which I think a city bike should have.
Middleweight is that section in Motorcycling which offers enough usable performance along with great value for money. In India, the middle section is particularly devoid of anything interesting. We either have the entry level 300 cc or the high level 1000 cc bikes which make 200 HP, most of which we don’t ever use. In between these two lies the sweet spot of 50 to 90 HP, which is more than enough for 95% of people like me out there. Luckily there is an oasis in the desert which has two very capable 600 cc motorcycles parked beside it. The Kawasaki Z650 and Benelli 600i, let's compare them.
