TVS NTORQ 150 : Pocket-sized Rocket? The Indian scooter market has always been a hotbed for innovation, but every so often, a new launch generates a buzz that redefines expectations. The all-new TVS NTORQ 150, hailed as India's " fastest hyper-sport scooter ," is aiming for exactly that - the point where convenience meets genuine performance. But is it really a "pocket-sized rocket," or does the marketing sizzle outweigh the real-world steak? Let's dive in. Sculpted for Speed: Design and Visual Impact The moment the TVS NTORQ 150 rolls into view, it commands attention. While it carries forward the sharp, youthful design DNA of its 125cc sibling , a closer look reveals aggressive new bodywork, racing-inspired graphics, and a sportier stance. The NTORQ 150's aerodynamic lines, LED lights , and pronounced edges are not just for show - they hint at the purposeful performance underneath. Available in four bold colours, the NTORQ 150 takes the "scooter a...

 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...

  There are motorcycles that you ride, enjoy, park, and forget about. And then there are motorcycles that seem to whisper something into your ears every time you saddle up - a suggestion, a dare, a promise of adventure where none existed before. The Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 , for me, was very much the latter. After spending a solid week with this motorcycle through dusty trails, congested city lanes, and open highway stretches, I can confidently say: this one made me fall in love with the  idea of scrambling . First Impressions: Neo-Retro with a Twist At first sight, the Svartpilen 401 doesn’t try to look like your typical retro scrambler. Husqvarna has gone bold with a  neo-retro-meets-futurism  language. The lines are sharp and geometric, with a single round LED headlamp that’s wrapped in a modern DRL ring. The tiny tank shrouds, slim tail section, and matte paint finishes give it an almost concept-bike vibe. Where a Ducati Scrambler looks playful and nostalgic...

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...
