Fast Bikes India; December 2018 Issue brief
The middle weight adventure touring segment has never really existed in India. Until now. All of a sudden there seems to have been an explosion with the arrival of the relatively unknown SWM Superdual T and the much awaited Suzuki V-Strom 650. So we just pit them against one another, throwing in the Kawasaki Versys 650 as the benchmark that already existed. Meanwhile, our boy Alameen learns to ride off-road while evaluating the Multistrada 1260 Enduro, and the blokes in Queen’s own country head to the Tiger Riding Academy run by Triumph.We also sample the RE Twins in India and of course have a close look at the long long awaited resurrected Jawa. All this, and more in the December issue,out on stands now!
