What kind of rider should buy Royal Enfield motorcycle?
With Suzuki Intruder out of the way, we can now focus on Royal Enfield and what kind of rider should buy it. Although I am not being accurate while generalizing Royal Enfield bikes under one name, all of them ride almost in the same way, with the exception of Himalayan. So it doesn’t matter which model you choose, the basic characters will remain the same. Let’s take a look at what kind of rider should buy a Royal Enfield.
The electric superbike made by Lightning Motorcycles, a company based out of California, USA, which makes the world’s fastest electric motorcycle: The LS-218. The bike makes around 200 HP and that’s not even the most interesting part, the 227 Nm of earth-shattering torque is. Let’s learn a little more about the bike and understand what makes it so special.
It’s 2018 and almost everyone is reviewing motorcycles, including me. Among a sea of reviews, it sometimes becomes difficult to identify who is right and who isn’t. So in the light of this serious issue, I am going to tell you some genuine tips and tricks which you can apply on any Naked motorcycle to judge its capabilities. I will try to explain in as many simple details as possible about what are the good points to look out for in a naked motorcycle.
It makes sense to focus on Pulsar 150 as it is the best selling Pulsar for Bajaj but instead of offering true mechanical and design updates, the company is just slapping a new paint job every now and then. With the 150 cc being crowded by much-advanced Gixxers, Hornets and Apaches, Bajaj is trying to literally milk every drop of sale which they can get out of Pulsar 150. It is time to let go of the old Pulsar and here’s why.
Remember the highlight of TVS’ stall at the Auto Expo 2018, it was the Zeppelin, a cruiser with a hybrid engine? The bike had some really amazing features, although it was just a concept, I feel that it should be talked about just because the ideas it presented have never been executed on an Indian motorcycle.
We have heard the cries of thousands of riders who plead night and day for Honda CBR 250RR to come to India. We don’t know if they launch it or not but the bike would retail at close to Rs 3 lakh ex-showroom. It makes around 38 HP and a pitiful 23 NM of torque. Compare it to the competition and you realize where the bike actually stands.
Flat track bikes are “less popular” to say the least, here in India. The sport, Flat track racing, around which the bikes are based is not even known by many people in our country, so it’s not a surprise that we barely have any knowledge about the upcoming FTR 1200. Despite all that the Indian Motorcycle Company, are going to change the game. I’ll explain why.
As KTM said earlier, the motorcycle looks more like an Enduro rather than an outright Adventure motorcycle. It makes all sense considering the pricing, markets and audience it is targeted for. Now that a close to production prototype of the KTM Adventure 390 has been spied, here's what one could expect from the motorcycle.
Harley is facing a tough time on their home turf. The millennial are more interested in buying Japanese sports bike like the ZX-10R and CBR600RR, instead of an air-cooled V-twin Harley Roadster. The company’s main audience, the baby-boomers are nearing the old age and prefer to ride a car instead of a 500-pound cruiser. As a result company’s sales are down along with its market share. Recently with the advent of a totally unexpected trade war between the United States and the rest of the world has left the company with very few options.
Renewable energy is on the rise and India is leading the race. Solar energy, over the years, has become very affordable and cheap, this combined with an increased responsibility towards the environment has made this energy really popular. Another slightly unconventional source, the biomass is also gaining traction in our country, which is most popular in rural areas. With two promising renewable sources on our hand, it makes sense to compare them for a potential fuel of the future motorcycles.
