As the summer heat intensifies in India, we produce our summer special, sizzling with the latest and the best two-wheelers in the market. And the range is diverse as we ride everything from the hot, new Triumph Bobber, the Indian Scout Sixty and the Harley Roadster. Other bikes we get our hands on include the new Z900 from Kawasaki as well as the Ducati Multistrada 950. We even take an extended journey to the North-East on the Mahindra Mojo and discover what a challenge the conditions and facilities there are.
