Fast Bikes India - May 2018

In dieser Ausgabe

The grapevine at EICMA was abuzz with word of the KTM 790 Duke coming to India. While we wait for official confirmation of that from the boffins here in India, we went and did the only thing we could think of. We rode the damn thing and are super kicked with what we’ve experienced. And as if that wasn’t enough, we swung a leg over the beautifully brutal Brutale 800 RR, following it up with the cracker of a motorcycle that is the Yamaha R1M. For the city slickers craving for some crazy fun, we pit the fun to ride Aprilia 125 against the impressive TVS NTorq 125. Which one won? Not the one you think. All this, and much more in the May issue, out on stands now!
