Beginning our December 2021 issue, we have made Motown India magazine a pure e-magazine. We have stopped our paper edition which we had begun in October 2010. The world over, countries and entities are going paperless and we thought it is the right time to move with the paperless trend. The December 2021 issue of Motown India is full of interesting pictures and reports. On the cover is the new Triumph Tiger 1200 which Triumph Motorcycles of UK has just launched. It comes with very refreshing changes. We also drove and rode several vehicles that included the new Maruti Suzuki Celerio, the new Triumph Trident 660 and the new TVS Raider. The latest EICMA 2021 motorcycle show held in Milan in Italy has been covered in a blaze of breathtaking pictures. Not only will you enjoy reading this magazine but will admire its visual appeal.
