More from Motoring The Kawasaki Z900 is the hottest-selling premium motorcycle in the country despite not being the most sophisticated one, and the 2025 model brings exactly that to the table. Kawasaki has priced the 2025 Z900 at Rs 9.52 lakh (ex-showroom) and there’s a lot that the bike gets for the Rs 12,000 price hike over the outgoing model. The most obvious change is the design.

More from Motoring Mankind was a fierce species once — one that walked the earth barefoot and bloodied, chasing beasts through the jungles with spears in hands that could end a life in a single thrust. The world was raw, the hunt was constant and so was the hunger to remain on top of the food chain. We earned that place, too. Since their inception, motorcycles have mirrored that aggression — they were as wild as the riders who straddled them.

More from Motoring We at Motoring World are a curious bunch, and our curiosity has always led us to great stories and adventures. One of the questions that often keeps us up at night is this: what is the perfect motorcycle for our Mumbai–Goa–Mumbai ‘work trips’? Of all the motorcycles I’ve ridden down to the Sunshine State, the Royal Enfield Himalayan stood out — with its comfortable seat, adequate performance, and brilliant ride quality.

More from Motoring Once upon a time, there was a Duke who ruled the streets — not with nobility, but with noise, skids, and wheelies. It was feared by the feeble-minded, adored by enthusiasts, and respected by all. For over a decade, there was no real threat to the 390 Duke’s dominion. Many tried, but none succeeded — until whispers began to rise of a new challenger to the throne. A warrior born in the sleepy town of Baramati, forged for battle, and carrying a name that rumbled like thunder: Tuono.

Photographs by DucatiPeople often say my ‘job’ is a dream come true — and they’re right. It was mine once, too. The privilege of riding a new motorcycle every week, discovering unfamiliar roads and cultures, and trading thoughts with some of the sharpest minds in the industry — how could that not be anyone’s dream? And yet, somewhere along the way, what once felt unreal began to feel like routine.

Triumph has launched a new, more rugged avatar of its Scrambler 400X in the form of a new XC variant. Priced at Rs 2.94 lakh (ex-showroom), the new trim is Rs 27,000 more expensive than the standard version. And there’s a lot on offer to justify that bump. And most of the changes are obvious, aren’t they? To add more off-road cred, the 400XC flaunts the same 19/17-inch wheel setup as before, but now with tubeless wire-spoke rims instead of alloy wheels.

More from Motoring Photographs by Classic Legends‘It is such a bad idea, it’s brilliant,’ I blurted out as soon as I came back after my first session with the Jawa 42 FJ. Someone at Classic Legends had a bright idea of letting a bunch of journalists loose on the handling test circuit at NATRAX with almost the entire line-up of Jawa and Yezdi motorcycles along with the BSA Gold Star 650 for two days! No new motorcycles or updates to test, no ‘agenda’… this was new.

This is the first scrambler on which you should avoid bad roads’, these words echoed in my head as I took the Bear 650 after a long time. This was after a long month of riding everything from scooters to ADVs, so I was sort of mentally prepared for my back-breaking commute. Around 10 km into the ride, I realised that riding the Raid-kit-equipped Himalayan had made me tough enough for the Bear’s firm ride to not bother me (to an extent). And that led me to enjoy the smaller things on this bike.

Big adventure motorcycles almost always have to strike a balance between two things — touring and off-roading — and in most cases, the former takes precedence. After all, the number of people willing to hustle such heavy bikes through trails is far lesser than who just want a serious-looking versatile machine to munch miles on. But what if such a motorcycle was built with a completely new approach, with the sole intent of tearing through the wilderness?

Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India’s electric scooter duo is finally here. The Honda Activa e: and the QC1 are the first from HMSI, and in the burgeoning electric scooter segment, they mark the end to the brand’s absence. Let’s start with the more affordable of the two, the Honda QC1. It’s priced at ₹90,000, ex-showroom, and has a relatively modest spec sheet. It must be noted that while the price is low, it doesn’t appear that Honda has cut corners in terms of overall quality.
