Fast Bikes India Magazine - January 2019

In this issue

Old is gold as we find out on our second birthday with the first ever ride of the Norton Commando on Indian roads. Stylish and full of character, it’s a proper Brit classic as go up and down the twisties of Lonavala. We have also ridden the new Jawas and got ourselves a taste of the smallest KTM yet. Not to forget a mega shootout of all street naked motorcycles under 300cc. As you can see our 2nd anniversary special is not to be missed because it is packed to the gills. Besides, you might just win fabulous Casio watches for we have a couple to give out.

Norton Commando – This is the first time anybody has ever ridden this classic British icon on Indian roads, and we are blown with the levels of engagement

Jawa and Forty Two – A slice of nostalgia is what they promise to be as Classic Legends seeks to resurrect the venerable Jawa and its spirit of carefree fun. Do the bikes deliver?

KTM 125 Duke – The smallest Duke isn’t really new. This was sold in Europe before the new gen 125 came out. So does this old bike make sense for India?
