All-new Ultraviolette X47: A desirable package that caught my attention! First View Opinion.

Image
 The Ultraviolette X47 is a tech-forward electric crossover with an ADV stance, segment-first rear radar , integrated dual dashcams , and an introductory price that undercuts many premium ICE rivals —making it a genuinely desirable package at first sight for urban riders and light touring duties alike. With IDC range options up to 323 km and useful rider aids, it presents a compelling, future-ready alternative to 250–400cc streetfighters and scramblers in India. Design and stance Ultraviolette positions the X47 as a “Crossover,” blending streetfighter sharpness with adventure-tourer cues like a beak-style front fender, protective windscreen, and a taller, readiness-for-bad-roads posture that reads ADV at a glance. Hardware such as a 41mm USD fork , long-travel suspension, and 208mm ground clearance reinforces the go-anywhere intent while retaining everyday urban agility. A cast aluminum subframe , tidy tail, and crisp surfacing add to perceived quality and durability, wit...

BSA Bantam 350 vs Jawa 42 FJ: "Two Shades of the Same Grey or Cousins with Distinct Personalities?" — My Opinion

Image
I’ll admit, viewing the BSA Bantam 350 and Jawa 42 FJ together feels like judging a pair of twins at their first family reunion. On paper, they share nearly everything - engine, chassis, even the parent company that manufactured them. So which story is more accurate: are these bikes mere clones clad in slightly different costumes, or do they actually reveal their own personalities once you crank the starter? A Brief Backstory: Classic Names, Modern Engines Both BSA and Jawa are legendary brands, known for stirring the souls of generations past. The BSA Bantam first flew the Union Jack in 1948, while Jawa’s Czech roots have long infused Indian roads with a sense of European flair. Fast-forward to 2025, and both names have been rebooted for young, style-savvy motorcyclists, especially in India and Europe. But this time, their mechanical DNA runs almost identical: both are crafted by Classic Legends, a Mahindra-owned revival factory that seeks to blend the old and new. Looks: The F...

Image
  The launch of the Hero Xoom 160 has sparked curiosity among enthusiasts and potential buyers alike. With its impressive features and competitive pricing, many wonder if it can succeed where the Yamaha Aerox struggled. Let's delve into the details and see how these two scooters stack against each other. Performance and Power The Hero Xoom 160 is powered by a 156cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that produces 14.81 PS at 8000 rpm. On the other hand, the Yamaha Aerox 155 comes with a 155cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that delivers 15 PS at 8000 rpm. While the power difference is minimal, the Xoom 160's engine felt slightly more refined and offered an overall smoother ride. Design and Features The Hero Xoom 160 boasts a modern ADV-ish design that in my opinion appeals to both new as well as experienced riders. With a digital instrument console that offers smartphone connectivity , call/SMS alerts, and turn-by-turn navigation Xoom 160 will appeal to those loo...
