I own a 2012 Hero Impulse and it is one of my favorite rides for the highway as the design and the frame of the bike is just superb and one can never be tired on long rides as the bike cruises excellently on highways without any disturbance or issue.
Ever wondered what those two big stubbles are at the end of your motorbike handles? Check it out, maybe you might have had scratched one by now unknowingly by cutting through some traffic, else if you happen to have scratched your bike somewhere. And then if you thought that maybe your bike is being protected by those thingys, then yes, your bike is being protected, but apparently not the way you thought it has been.
It's been long time Honda is enjoying the majority of market share in 125cc commuter segment with other manufacturers trying hard to fetch their piece of cake. Saluto is Yamaha's bid to claim its share, lets check it out how strong the claim of Yamaha is?
TVS has silently launched the updated version of its 125cc premium executive class Phoenix. When TVS launched the Phoenix 125 back in 2012 it carried features which was seen on bigger bikes like fully digital console, 240mm roto-petal disc brakes, tubeless tyres and it had 125cc Eco- Thrust Engine, which is very capable and frugal engine but TVS decided to update the bike in 2015 so lets see what the bike has got?
Amongst the 125cc executive commuter class motorcycles Yamaha has added another product as Saluto, after the entry level motorbike segment it is the most lucrative class as even the entry level commuter motorcycle customer tends to upgrade to this segment. Yamaha Motor India is also eyeing on this segment and hence recently launched a new product Saluto with brand new 125cc engine with their patent Blue Core technology.
I always wonder what is the use of these figures which can never be attained in real life scenario. Why automobile companies publicly display that their xyz product is returning best in class fuel efficiency of more than 100 kmpl which can not be achieved in actual riding conditions at all.

Bajaj has recently relaunched the entry level CT100 from its stable which they had discontinued in 2006 for the domestic market. BikesIndia brings to you First Test Ride Review of new CT100 yet again before the bike is officially launched.
Finally it looks like the 150cc motorcycle class is moving a step further and moving ahead in terms of getting better and better, to compete with this, Honda has now come up with a new motorcycle, the Honda CB Unicorn 160.
The entry level motorcycle segment is always the best performing segment for the 2-wheeler manufacturers in India so far, this is the reason why every manufacturer takes this segment not only seriously but also cautiously. The recent launch of Platina 100ES by Bajaj is a perfect example to justify the aforementioned statement.
