    Buying a Suzuki Gixxer

    I’m interested in buying the Suzuki Gixxer, but looking at the bike, I feel it’s small. I would like to know if it is a pillion-friendly bike, and whether or not the performance would be affected with a heavy passenger.

    AAA Carrying a pillion will affect performance on a small-capacity motorcycle such as the Suzuki Gixxer, and the heavier the pillion, the further the drop in performance will be expected. The Gixxer is a comfortable motorcycle for pillions, but to be sure, you can always visit a showroom, with the pillion and sit on the bike to check whether you are both comfortable, before finalising on purchasing the motorcycle.

    The Creta will be the third Hyundai N-Line model in India. Should more mass-market brands have sporty sub-brands?

    No, it's just a gimmick to increase the price

    It doesn't always work; just look at Tata JTP
