Wallet Saver, Scene Stealer

THEY SAY THAT IT IS MORE FUN RIDING a slow motorcycle fast than riding a fast motorcycle slow.

- — Saeed Akhtar

I can attest to the wisdom of this adage after living with the Xtreme 125R for the last few weeks. My usual steed is a quite bigger motorcycle, and while it ticks all the right boxes for speed, excitement, and sheer theatre, there's no denying that it's a bit of an overkill when it comes to everyday commuting. So, as soon as I joined Bike India, my first official request was for the keys to the Xtreme 125R, rather than the biggest, brawniest thing in our long-term garage.
