7 V-Twin Cruiser caught testing in Delhi/Haryana (National Capital Region)

Mysterious cruiser caught on camera being tested in Delhi/Haryana..

As seen in the photo, an under test V-Twin cruiser has been snapped in the National Capital Region. The vehicle has a Haryana state temporary number plate on it.

Although I am not a great fan of cruiser bikes, this is an interesting and exciting development for the Indian motorcycle scene. As far as I know, this particular model doesn't seem to be from any current model line available worldwide.

9 Return of the Fastest Indian? Full Faired, 375 cc Pulsar?

Spy photos of what is being alleged as the biggest and baddest Pulsar ever..!!

Although similar spy photos have been posted on the net a few months back, this time Autocar India has posted of what is being alleged as the next big thing from Bajaj, a Full faired Pulsar with engine that is being speculated to be based on the 375 cc engine that does duty of the yet to be launched KTM 390 Duke.

A few days back Mr. Rajiv Bajaj did reveal plans of launching a bigger and a smaller Pulsar than the current flagship, the Pulsar 200NS. So if the spy photos are true then this definitely looks like the Next Big Pulsar..!!

From the spy photos, this one appears to be a prototype. Nevertheless the styling is definitely quite edgy and aggressive. If the 375 cc engine does make it to this one then expect this one to be a baby monster (more than a beast).

13 Suzuki to Launch the Inazuma 250 in India soon

Any body interested..??

"Yunhi Nahin Bike Design Karte"

Each and every Suzuki two wheeler that I have ever ridden had already left me mesmerized with the smoothness of its engine and gearbox. The Fiero (150 cc), Heat/Zeus (125 cc) and the GS150R all had engines that felt as smooth as a baby's bottom. Despite the brilliance of the engine and gearbox, none of the mentioned motorcycles failed to keep the salesmen at the Suzuki showrooms busy.

If there was anything that could be more vapid than the The 125 cc Slingshot or the 110 cc Hayate, it was their TV Commercials. Suzuki had to pick up their socks in India.

Just yesterday photo of an Inazuma 250 snapped in Goa appeared on Facebook. It had the mandatory (for India) Saree Guard fixed on it. So yes, looks like we'll have one more TV Advert with Sallu probably mouthing "Yunhi Nahin .... (whatever)" on the idiot box and most probably getting a glimpse of the Inazuma in Dabaangg 3 (should be out right?) as well.

6 Pulsar 200NS TV Commercial.. I expected more

Pulsar 200NS TV Commercial finally uploaded on the net..

Since its inception in 2001, the TV Commercials of the Pulsar has been one of the major reasons for making it the colossal brand that it has become today. For me the PulsarMania TVC (2008) was the Zenith of all the Pulsar TVC's.

So when a new TVC featuring the Pulsar 200NS is uploaded on the net, I obviously sit up and take notice. Posted below if the embedded video of the latest TVC featuring the Pulsar 200NS.

But honestly I am not impressed. I mean there is nothing in the TVC which would make me go "Wow", nothing that makes me hit the "Replay" button, nothing to give me the "Goosebumps", basically nothing that I have not seen..
