This May, we savour an incredible trackday astride the BMW S1000R on the Estoril racetrack. Three generations and multiple Bike of the Year titles later, the BMW S 1000 RR receives a complete overhaul for its fourth generation. A plethora of improvements have made it sharper and quicker while being loaded to the gills with technology! Honda CBR 650R We sample the newly-launched Honda CBR 650R in Spain. Is the baby blade miles ahead of its predecessor, the CBR 650F? Find out! Four Horsemen On a quest to find the best bike for you and your moolah, we put to the test the Bajaj Dominar 400 UG, the Yamaha R15 V3.0, the KTM Duke 250 and the Royal Enfield Himalayan! KTM 690 SMC R The hooligan-friendly KTM might never make it to India, but it’s sure worth the hoonery! Counting the Revs The Ducati PanigaleV4 R revs to a maddening 16,500rpm. But wait! That’s not the only bike that revs to the sky. We take a look at some other incredibly high-revving motorcycles over the years. Triumph Street Twin The best-selling neo-retro loses weight, gets KYB forks and packs in a lot more tech. Has Triumph made it even better? We get astride and get you the verdict! Kawasaki Versys 1000 vs Ducati Multistrada 950 The Kawasaki is the new kid on the block and packs in impressive specs and performance. Can it keep up with the Multi? Spotting Snow Leopards Whiteout 2.0 : An insane idea that turned into reality. Riding through Spiti in sub zero temperatures! Vijay Parmar, mountain man himself, tells us the tale! So Much More! We have a go in the Royal Enfield Bullet Trials replica, test ride the Giant Halfway foldable cycle, fun tutorials to make you a smarter biker, latest gear and trends, happenings in the biking community, columns by Vijay Parmar and Sirish Chandran among others.
