These beautiful motorcycles have now reached dealerships and we’ve got some detailed photos: But before dwelling into the deets, let us find out how Jawa came across the idea of these liveries -- and who better to know this from than the very CEO of Jawa Motorcycles, Ashish Joshi. When asked about this, he told us that in the 1960s and 1970s, a lot of young officers from the forces rode Jawas since these bikes were considered to be the most fun to ride then.

Tech And Moto These non-road legal bikes are only meant for closed off-road tracks Kawasaki KX250 If you’re an off-road enthusiast with no budget restrictions, Kawasaki has launched the perfect bikes for you: the 2022 KX250 and the KX450. Remember, these aren’t road-legal motorcycles, and they’re purposely built to take your motocross skills to new heights. What’s The Price? Who Are Their Rivals? The 2022 KX250 and KX450 are priced at Rs 7,99,000 and Rs 8,59,000 (ex-showroom Delhi), respectively. This means the two are, in the same order, Rs 56,000 and Rs 80,000 costlier than the older models.  At this price, the KX250 and KX450 are in the crosshairs of some potent, road-going motorcycles like the Ducati Scrambler 800, Kawasaki Z900, and the Honda CB650R. However, none of these offer a motocross experience like the KX twins. The KX250 and KX450 have always been potent motorcycles, and they’ve only gotten better with this update. Talking about the KX250 first, Kawasaki claims to have ex

  The Japanese bikemaker has also put out a teaser video Not long ago, we told you Honda  has trademarked the name NX200 , probably for a Hornet 2.0 -based affordable ADV bike. Last month, we got you exclusive news that    Honda India will launch a new ADV bike in August  now, Honda has officially teased the motorcycle which will be launched on August 19, 2021. The teaser isn’t very informative, but it does give away some interesting details about the NX200 (likely to be called). Firstly, the headlamp is identical to the LED unit on the Hornet 2.0, meaning this is indeed based on the naked motorcycle. However, here the headlamp is mounted on the fairing. Secondly, we can see the upright riding stance and smoked visor up front, which hints at the bike’s touring capabilities. The video also shows the handguard-mounted LED indicators. A silhouette of the motorcycle also shows the tall USD fork up front, likely aimed to enhance its off-road abilities. You can also catch a glimpse of the mi

  Spy images of the forthcoming Yamaha YZF-R15 V4 give a sneak peek of the changes that it will feature, and one of which are the inverted front forks Soon after launching the Yamaha FZ-X in the country, the Indian subsidiary of Yamaha is now busy testing the R15 V4. Test mules of the new-gen model of the brand’s entry-level sportbike have been spotted recently during a test run. The prototypes were seen around the bike maker’s factory in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The spy images come via a grainy YouTube video. Nevertheless, the clip is apt at showing some important details of the upcoming model. The R15 in its V4 avatar will don an R7-inspired front face. The test prototypes get a single LED headlamp. The most crucial of all changes, however, are the new upside-down front forks. The tail section is visible in the video, and a new end can for the exhaust is also seen. Furthermore, LED DRLs are present on either side of the headlamp, mimicking the R7’s design. The main fairing is mounted ov
