Hero Honda Glamour FI Review
Posted on:- Jul 05 2007 : Hero Honda Glamour FI
Hero Honda has launched the fuel-injection model of its 125 cc bike Glamour under the title Hero Honda Glamour FI. The bike will come for an entry-level price of Rs 49,900. This will have a kick-start and drum brakes. The higher-end version will have self-start and disc brakes and will cost Rs 53000. This is the first time that Honda is offering its fuel injection technology on low-end bikes anywhere outside Japan. However, the Hero Honda Glamour FI is not expected to be a runaway hit due to two reasons; one - the price difference with the existing Glamour is just Rs 5,500. Two - The Hero Hond...

Yamaha Gladiator Review
Posted on:- Jul 05 2007 :
Yamaha Gladiator
The Gladiator is a new model developed on the concept of a “next generation Fun bike”. It features a power unit coupled with a new 5-speed transmission and mounted on a body with a design that suggests dynamic motion. The 5-speed transmission lets the rider make the most of a wide power band to experience excellent performance in both around-town and high-speed riding.
The Gladiator engine features the latest technologies. The 125 cc single cylinder churns out a maximum power output of 8.0kW (11 PS) at 7,500 rpm and a max torque of 10.4 Nm (1.06 kgf-m) at 6,500 rpm, deliverin...

Tvs Victor Edge Review
Posted on:- Aug 18 2007 : TVS Victor Edge
The TVS Motor Company has learnt how to ride out stormy weather in its recent few years. The 109.2cc Victor, which rolled out in 2001, will always remain that special bike to have gifted TVS its first heady swig of motorcycling success. But the passage of time and cut-throat competition have eroded the one-time champion's sales.
The big question that needs an answer is whether the Edge is more than a chip of the old block and can it prove itself to be as good a 125cc motorcycle as any.

TVS isn’t taking chances by going...

Yamaha Enticer review
Posted on:- Jul 05 2007 :
YAMAHA ENTICER
The bike on test with me is the base version without disc brakes or self start, costing Rs.55,185/-. If you add Rs.9,000/- to it for disc brake and self start, it still is only Rs.64,000/-, which is still Rs.25,000/- less than the Eliminator which comes with self start and disc as standard. While the Enticer entices aspirants with its price, the Eliminator eliminates most aspirants with its price.
Motive power comes from the same square, 54 mm x 54 mm bore x stroke, 123.7cc pot that powers the Yamaha YBX. While max. torque of 1.06 KgM at 6500 rpm is identical to the YBX, the 11 bhp (PS) of ...

Kinetic King100 Review
Posted on:- Jul 05 2007 : Kinetic King100
The launch of this mileage champion from Kinetic has been pretty low key. No media hype. No hoopla. It appears in the Kinetic showrooms and quietly sells. A very basic bike, looks like a moped. Step-thru frame, but a four-stroke engine and four foot operated gears. Sure, there are other step-thru-framed, four-stroke-engined, foot-gear-operated bikes that have been in the market for a long time, but none of them look like this one, because the step-thru-gap on those others had one sole purpose: to allow saree-clad ladies to ride them! On them, one cannot really carry luggage like (say) on ungeared s...

Honda Shine Review
Posted on:- Jul 05 2007 : Honda Shine
Codenamed MC2, Honda Motorcycle and Scooters India’s (HMSI) second bike for India, the Shine, is the latest entrant into a packed 125cc segment. The Shine, which will hit shelves within April 2006, is a significant bike for Honda, for it’s evident that given some time the 125cc segment holds enough potential to grow into the largest motorcycling segment in the market.
Our first impression of the Shine as it emerged through confetti and fireworks at the launch can be summed into two words—cautious and conservative. Whether that is disappointing or not is for you to decide, as H...

Kinetic Kine Review
Posted on:- Jul 05 2007 : KINETIC KINE
Designed for women on the move, the new Kinetic Kiné is a reborn Zing 80 with the existing frills and some goodies too.
KINETIC ENGINEERING'S Zing 80 was a forerunner of sorts with many an ingenious woman-friendly feature. But now with new competition, the Zing 80 has just received a makeover and a new name too — Kine.
While the insides remain unchanged, the outside sports dynamic three-tone shades. Striking decals cover the petite runabout from head to tail, there’s a slim headlight with improved beam quality and the instruments are colourful and...

Kinetic 4s Review
Posted on:- Jul 05 2007 : Kinetic 4s
IT SEEMS TO be yesterday once more in the scooter world in India as most two-wheeler companies are trying to cash in on the goodwill of previous blockbuster models. Kinetic Engineering, which tasted heady success with its Honda Lead-based scooter in the late 1980s and early ‘90s, has now popped a four-stroke engine into the trusty old platform and rebadged the scooter the 4s.
A true forerunner of two-wheeled tech, the Kinetic Honda was the first two-wheeler in India to come with an electric-start option. The convenience of an automatic and gearshift-free ride was pleasure personified for th...

Kinetic Blaze Review
Posted on:- Jul 05 2007 : Kinetic Blaze
Radical, exciting and completely our type. With the Blaze, Kinetic has gone against the grain with a spec list totally alien to Indian scooters. This one puts out 11.6bhp from a 165.12cc engine, and does that in between a 1990mm length and 1495mm wheelbase. To put that into perspective, 1990mm mirrors a Pulsar for length, and 1495mm means a considerably longer wheelbase than a Bullet!
The Blaze’s large proportions are noticeable from a distance and given our obsession towards massive automobilia like the Ford Endeavour, this one will come in with a fair chance of making it good here. ...

Bajaj Discover 112 Review
Posted on:- Jun 22 2007 : BAJAJ DISCOVER 112
It?s all in the game, er... name. When the Bajaj Discover 125 invaded the executive segment a year and a half ago, it was perceived to be a smaller Pulsar, sporting the same DTS-i tech. Rather than revel in this perception, the Discover created a niche for itself as it offered more features than any other offering in its segment, and that too at a lower price tag.
The buyer had lot of options to pick from too, like a front fairing, electric start, disc brakes and alloy wheels. The round headlamp version even got close to 100cc bikes on the pricing front.
The one thing that kept b...
