TVS RADEON BS VI - Smart Workhorse
If you have seen the Hindi blockbuster movie Sholay, you will be familiar with the word “Dhanno”. Dhanno was Basanti’s trusted horse and it took her from one place to another, carried travelers in the little carriage and even galloped like crazy when Gabbar Singh’s men chased Basanti on their horses. In today’s world, a vehicle like the TVS Radeon is the Dhanno of the common man, a trusted and faithful machine that takes you from point A to point B, day in and day out without any fuss. No slipper clutch, no ride by wire technology, no disc brakes and no fancy feature to boot, yet millions can afford it to commute daily.

ROYAL ENFIELD INTERCEPTOR 650 BS VI -UNPARALLELED TWIN!

But all that changed when, at the Eicma show in Milan (Italy) in November 2017, it showcased two twin-cylinder motorcycles, the Interceptor 650 and the Continental GT 650. While the former is a roadster, the latter is a café racer.

A WIDE option
We all know this beautiful phrase in Hinglish, “Dil Maange More”. Well I am sure a lot of BMW 3 series customers would have wanted more from their BMW 3 series models in terms of space, the rest I am sure is almost perfect. So BMW India has brought in a long wheelbase version of the BMW 3 Series exclusively for the Indian market. It goes by the name of BMW 3 series Gran Limousine.
Union Budget 2021-22 & Indian Auto Industry - Indirectly Perfect
