Have you heard almost every biker you met, say he/ she has been wanting to ride to Ladakh or has already done so? Well, me too. Since I ride, I too was a part of that group of people and was pulled into visiting LEH Ladakh this year. I rode my KTM Duke 390 from Bangalore to Ladakh and back and noticed that Ladakh isn't a road less traveled anymore!
Our correspondent Akash H.M, getting you pictures and news from INTERMOT. This happens to be his 3rd INTERMOT since his student phase in Deutschland.
Winter's almost here and I can't wait to head out on rides. The thing about riding in winters is that there's very little moisture to deal with, the weather remains cool, there's hardly any rain to deal with even so no matter what riding gear you're in, you'll be very comfortable. Across India, there are plenty of destinations you can ride to but below are the top 5 destinations, I'm looking forward to visit to:
While the 2017 KTM Duke 390 awaits for a major overhaul, its faired siblings has gone through a visual upgrade with new Bold graphics. The Matte black finish on the tank is all gone, and a new glossy black has been used to paint the tanks of the motorcycles. The Black, Orange and White colours are used perfectly to create a visual extravaganza. All the three sport bikes only get visual upgrades, and is expected to have a mechanical overhaul for 2017.
The Austrian brand KTM has unveiled two new motorcycles in the same category that it excels the most at Intermot 2016, Cologne. The KTM 1090 Adventure and 1090 Adventure R are the new ones to join their bigger and meaner 1290 Adventure siblings. These two bikes replace the 1190 Adventure and the older 1050's for good.
Every other motorcycle going past you, or being ridden by you has a set of suspensions. Be it a puny TVS Excel or a humongous Kawasaki Ninja ZX14R. The common thing among all the motorcycles that fall in between is that they come shod of Telescopic suspensions up front (neglect a few rare exceptions, say BMW K1300R), only the degree of precision and the levels of Engineering differ.
I've been drooling over the way the new 2017 Kawasaki Ninja 650 looks. Not only looks, this hell of a cougar just turned into a Mid twenties sexy chick as its shed weight, got more muscle and looks badass! I mean, its a lot of change for someone who's used to looking at the boring old Ninja 650 on Sunday rides but the new one just blew me, not yet literally though! Below are some pointers to look out for on this new Kawasaki Ninja 650-
MT Helmets from Spain had created quite a stir in the market so I decided to check the top end version of their helmet (not top end anymore)- the MT Blade. I bought a Fluorescent Yellow colored helmet with silver graphics on it from their dealer in Bangalore called Moto 101 and It costed me 6250 INR. Below are my observations on the helmet after using it for 10,000 kms.
