Best of 2016: Top bike videos

All through 2016, we brought to you the latest launches, rides and comparisons of the most popular motorcycles set to launch this year. From first looks straight from the pavilions of the Auto Expo 2016 to the reviews of some highly anticipated bikes and scooters such as the Bajaj V15, Royal Enfield Himalayan and the Aprilia SR 150, we covered it all.

To give you a brief recap of the year gone by, here's a round-up of 2016's top 10 bike videos.

Aprilia SR 150 review

Aprilia and scooters? If you are a motorcycle enthusiast, chances are, you would have never strung together the words 'Aprilia' and 'scooter' in a sentence. Aprilia is usually followed up with the RSV4, Tuono or the Dorsoduro. Even if you thought something smaller and more relevant for India, the RS4 range would have come to mind immediately. In such a situation, just how good is Aprilia’s SR 150cc scooter launched late this year. Watch our review to find out.

Honda Navi review

The Navi is something very different from the regular two-wheelers in India, with Honda’s offering taking the form of a motorcycle-scooter crossover. It’s got the looks of a motorcycle but, in place of the traditional engine, there's a gaping hole that is fitted with a storage box. The engine is borrowed from the Honda Activa and like on a scooter sits towards the bottom rear-end of the Navi. So how has been Honda’s foray into this unconventional territory? Watch our review for the answer.

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R vs Suzuki Hayabusa comparison

The Kawasaki ZX-14R has proven to be the faster bike on the drag strips across the world as compared to Suzuki’s legendary Hayabusa. But Indian riders now will have to carefully weigh the worth of saving a few tenths of a second and the bragging rights that the ZX-14R offers against the made-in-India Suzuki’s cheaper price tag. So which is the more exciting bike for Indian riders on our roads? Watch our review and decide.

Royal Enfield Himalayan review

The Himalayas have always been a favourite haunt for Royal Enfield riders and it was just a matter of time before the company came up with a bike specifically designed to tackle this terrain.

Bajaj V15 review

Made from a small percentage of steel from the INS Vikrant, the V15 has come out all guns blazing with a 150cc engine and a distinctive styling to tackle a class of me-too commuters. Here’s how the Bajaj cruiser behaves on the street.

UM Renegade Commando, Sport S review

The Renegade siblings are styled to flatter, specced to impress and priced to move. But is there a catch?

Royal Enfield Himalayan vs Mahindra Mojo vs Royal Enfield Thunderbird 500 comparison

Our first taste of Royal Enfield’s adventure tourer, the Himalayan, up and around Shimla made it amply clear that the motorcycle, although imperfect, was very versatile and capable. To test its versatility and capability further, we pit it against the Mahindra Mojo and the Thunderbird 500 to find out.
