Indian Sport Scout

Indian Motorcycle has revealed a range of updated Scout models for the global market. The 2025 Indian Scout lineup&nbsp;– consisting&nbsp;of the&nbsp;Scout Sixty Bobber, Sport Scout Sixty,&nbsp;and the Scout Sixty Classic&nbsp;– gets unique styling, technical updates, and more electronics. To begin with, the 2025 Scout range uses a new 999cc liquid-cooled V-twin SpeedPlus engine mated to a 5-speed transmission. Indian says the engine is the same 'completely redesigned' unit as the 1,250cc SpeedPlus, albeit with a different bore and stroke. Power and torque figures stand at 84bhp and 88Nm at 6,500rpm, respectively. The chassis is now a new&nbsp;steel tube unit, suspended by a 41mm&nbsp;telescopic fork and twin shocks. Like&nbsp;the 1250cc Scouts, the smaller Scouts get a single-disc arrangement both at the front and rear to handle braking duties.&nbsp;

<h2>2025 Indian Scout Sixty Range: Features</h2>

The 2025&nbsp;Scout Sixty comes in two variants&nbsp;– Standard and Limited. While&nbsp;an antilock braking system (ABS) and LED lighting are&nbsp;standard, the Limited variant offers&nbsp;traction control, cruise control, ride modes,&nbsp;Limited badging, and a USB charger. The new iteration can hold up to 13 litres of fuel.&nbsp;

<h2>2025 Indian Scout Sixty Range: Styling</h2>

<img alt="2025 Scout Sixty Classic" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/11/2025-Scout-Sixty-Classic.jpg" width="1280" />

Styling-wise, the 999cc Scout Sixty models closely resemble&nbsp;their&nbsp;larger counterparts.&nbsp;The 2025 Scout Sixty Bobber is a stripped-down bobber with blacked-out elements such as a headlamp, single bobber-styled seat and&nbsp;16-inch wheels. Along with the lowest seat set at 650mm, the Sixty Bobber offers the least suspension travel at the rear. It comes in four colour options&nbsp;–&nbsp;Black Metallic, Springfield Blue, Heavy Metal Smoke, and Ghost White Metallic Stone.

<img alt="Scout Sixty Bobber" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/11/Scout-Sixty-Bobber.jpg" width="1280" />

The mid-spec&nbsp;Scout Sixty Classic gets&nbsp;retro-styled fenders and&nbsp;a generous amount of&nbsp;chrome. It offers a relaxed riding position and sits on 16-inch cast wheels. Three paint finishes are available: Black Metallic, Springfield Blue, and Frost Silver. Moving to the top-end variant, the&nbsp;Sport Scout Sixty features a 19-inch front wheel (with a Metzeler Cruisetec&nbsp;tyre), mini-ape handlers, a more comfortable sport-style seat, and a quarter fairing.&nbsp;

2025 Indian Scout Sixty Lineup Unveiled Globally with New Design, 84bhp V-Twin Engine and More

The 2025 editions of the Scout Sixty models get a 999cc liquid-cooled V-twin SpeedPlus engine, which is the same 'completely redesigned' unit as the 1,250cc SpeedPlus.

Indian Motorcycle has launched the 2024 Roadmaster Elite in India at Rs 71.82 lakh (ex-showroom). Featuring&nbsp;a tri-tone paint scheme of&nbsp;Indian Motorcycle Red Candy, Dark Indian Motorcycle Red Candy, and Black Candy shades,&nbsp;the new Roadmaster Elite is&nbsp;a nod&nbsp;to the company's 1904 Indian Camelback&nbsp;–&nbsp;the first Indian motorcycle to come with the classic Indian red paint scheme. Only 350 units of the 2024&nbsp;Roadmaster Elite will be manufactured, thereby making it exclusive.&nbsp;

Each unit comes with a blacked-out windscreen, a colour-matched stitched heated &amp; cooled seat, an adaptive LED headlamp, hand-painted golden pinstripes, 10-spoked diamond-cut alloys, and&nbsp;Elite branding &amp; graphics on the engine, fuel tank and foot-rest. The styling is complemented by&nbsp;a 7.0-inch TFT display Ride Command system, offering turn-by-turn navigation and Bluetooth connectivity. Other bits include Apple CarPlay integration, cornering functionality,&nbsp;a 12-speaker audio system mounted on the front fairing, and passenger armrests.&nbsp;

The 2024&nbsp;Indian Roadmaster Elite also offers solid storage space, marked out by saddlebags and a top case.

We are thrilled to bring this extraordinary model to India and offer our customers a chance to own a piece of motorcycling history. Its technological prowess, timeless elegance, and modern performance make it a must-have for any serious motorcycle collector,' said&nbsp;Lalit Sharma, Managing Director, Polaris India Pvt. Ltd.

<h2>2024 Indian Roadmaster Elite: Engine, Suspension, Braking</h2>

The 2024 Roadmaster Elite uses a&nbsp;1,890cc, air-cooled, V-Twin engine, which makes 170Nm of peak torque while being mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Suspension duties are taken care of by a 46mm telescopic front fork (with 119mm travel) and a rear monoshock (with 114mm travel). Stopping power comes from dual 300mm floating rotors with 4-piston callipers (front)&nbsp;as well as a single 300mm floating rotor with a 2-piston calliper (rear).&nbsp;&nbsp;

2024 Indian Roadmaster Elite Launched at Rs 71.82 Lakh in India, Gets 1,890cc Engine, 12-Speaker Sound System

The 2024 Indian Roadmaster Elite gets PowerBand Audio with bass boost, which is claimed to deliver 50 per cent louder audio through 12 speakers.

Indian Motorcycles has unveiled the updated Scout range for the global market. The motorcycle now comes in five variants—101 Scout, Super Scout, Scout Bobber, Sport Scout, and Scout Classic, spread across three trim levels—&nbsp;Standard, Limited, and Limited + Tech. Although the five models have similar foundations, they differ slightly in terms of appearance. The&nbsp;Scout Classic, evident through its name, boasts a traditional appearance. It has flared fenders, as well as, wire-spoke rims, and exhaust pipes with a chrome finish. On the other hand, the Super Scout is the touring version of the Scout Classic, with features such as saddlebags, a windscreen, and a pillion seat.&nbsp;The Scout Bobber has&nbsp;clipped fenders, a low stance, an all-black hue, a higher seat, and a 19-inch front wheel.

Last but not least, the 101 Scout is a range-topping model of the lineup, which pays tribute to the&nbsp;original Indian 101 Scout. The distinguishing elements of the variant include multiple colour options,&nbsp;an independent ECU setting for more power, a front fork, and piggyback rear shock absorbers, both adjustable, among others. To know what's new in the 2025 Scout range offered by <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/indian/">Indian Motorcycles</a>, read on.&nbsp;

<h2>Indian Scout Lineup: Powertrain</h2>

The most significant <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/kia-sonet-facelift-spied-testing-in-india-shows-exterior-modifications-114181/">modification</a> is in the engine department. The 2025 series now has an all-new 1,250cc, four-valve, DOHC, 60-degree V-twin engine that is liquid-cooled and named the SpeedPlus. The motor produces 111Nm (13 Nm more than the previous version) at 6,300rpm and 103.5bhp at 7,250rpm, with a six-speed <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/new-kia-carens-variants-with-diesel-engine-manual-transmission-drivetrain-launched-in-india-116670/">transmission</a>. The 101 Scout variant produces 110bhp, which is a bit more power than the other variants while maintaining the same torque. The primary reason behind the rise in output is ECU tuning.&nbsp;There is a slip-and-assist clutch on the new SpeedPlus engine.&nbsp;&nbsp;The liquid cooling allows for a radiator size decrease of up to 20%.

<h2>Indian Scout Lineup: Hardware</h2>

The Scout has been updated with an aluminum centre&nbsp;piece and a steel tube front frame. A new subframe, shared by the entire range, is located at the rear. In terms of cycle parts, the lineup comes with a 41mm telescopic fork with 104mm travel, and dual shock absorbers that can be adjusted for preload.&nbsp;On the other hand, the 101 Scout features completely adjustable dual shocks at the back with 76mm of travel and a 43mm upside-down fork with 150mm of travel. While the 101 Scout has dual 320 disc brakes with four-piston calipers up front, and the Classic, Bobber, Sport, and Super Scout have a single two-piston calliper up front with a 298mm semi-floating rotor. At the rear, however, all models feature the same&nbsp;298mm disc and single-piston calliper.

<h2>Indian Scout Lineup: Equipment</h2>

The <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/new-indian-scout-to-debut-globally-on-april-2-heres-all-you-need-to-know-116525/">Indian Scout</a> Lineup is available in three trim levels, as mentioned. While the Limited Tech + trim is only available for the Super Scout and the 101 Scout, the Standard and Limited trims are offered with the Scout the Classic, the Scout Bobber, and the Sport Scout. The Standard trim offers LED lighting, analogue&nbsp;dials, and ABS. In addition, the Limited includes features like cruise control, traction, and three riding modes: Sport, Standard, and Tour. In contrast, the Limited Tech + version boasts a rounded, 4-inch TFT touchscreen that is equipped with GPS navigation and Bluetooth.

2025 Indian Scout Lineup Unveiled with All-new 1,250cc Engine

Indian Motorcycles has unveiled its 2025 Scout lineup for the international market. Although there hasn't been a formal announcement, India may also get the upgraded range soon.

Indian Motorcycle has globally uncloaked&nbsp;the 2024 Roadmaster Elite—a limited-edition model. The most fascinating thing about this unique masterpiece, among many other things, is its tribute to the company's classic 1904 Indian Motorcycle Red paint job. Setting new luxury touring in the class, the bike is based on the Roadmaster chassis and is limited to just 350 units globally. It has many amenities, such as a turn-by-turn navigation system, a 12-speaker music system mounted on the front fairing, an all-LED lighting arrangement with cornering LEDs, in addition to a 7-inch TFT with integrated Apple Carplay.&nbsp;Read on to know some more facts about this latest special edition by Indian Motorcycle.&nbsp;

<h2>2024 Indian Roadmaster Elite: Appearance</h2>

The <a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-reviews/indian-roadmaster-first-ride-review-rest-assured-112230/">Roadmaster</a> Elite has a tri-tone colour scheme consisting of Black Candy, Dark Indian Motorcycle Red Candy, and Indian Motorcycle Red Candy finishes. With its broad fairing and round headlight, the bike maintains its identifiable look but exudes distinctiveness with exclusive badges. A blacked-out windscreen, hand-painted golden pinstripes, colour-matched and heated and cooled seat, and a gloss black dash are also included.

<img alt="Indian Roadmaster Elite Rear" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/02/Indian-Roadmaster-Elite-Rear.jpg" width="1280" />

While talking about the design, Aaron Jax, Vice President for Indian Motorcycle, said “Our Elite models take the incredibly high bar we set for all of our products, and raise it even higher, offering something more exclusive for the rider who wants to make sure their bike is a cut above anything else on the road,”

He further added, “What I love about the new Roadmaster Elite is how we’ve taken the historic Indian Motorcycle Red and given it a tougher, meaner attitude with blacked-out styling.”

<h2>2024 Indian Roadmaster Elite: Features and Engine</h2>

<img alt="Indian Roadmaster Elite TFT Dash" height="720" src="/uploads/2024/02/Indian-Roadmaster-Elite-TFT-Dash.jpg" width="1280" />

Additional features include remote-lockable saddlebags and a top box with 136 litres of combined storage capacity. The special edition runs on 10-spoke diamond cut alloys, covered with Metzeler Cruisetec rubber.

The Indian Roadmaster Limited also has an identical unit.&nbsp;

2024 Indian Roadmaster Elite Breaks Cover Globally, Will be Limited to 350 Units

The Roadmaster Elite special edition, which is available in 350 units globally, has a 12-speaker audio system, heated and cooled seat, black passenger armrests, and 10-spoke diamond cut alloys, among its features.

Indian Motorcycle has pulled the wraps off the two limited edition bikes for international markets –&nbsp;the&nbsp;Indian Pursuit Elite and&nbsp;the Chieftain Elite. The bikes will be available&nbsp;in limited numbers across the globe, making them highly exclusive. Only 150 units of the Pursuit Elite and 175 units of the Chieftain Elite will go on sale.

<h2>Indian Pursuit Elite, Chieftain Elite Limited Editions: Powertrain, Performance</h2>

Indian Pursuit Elite, Chieftain Elite Limited Editions Unveiled; Check Details

Only 150 units of the Indian Pursuit Elite and 175 units of the Indian Chieftain Elite will go on sale across the globe. Both bikes feature Pathfinder adaptive LED headlamps and LED saddlebag lights.

The open road never looked so good. To you, because the Indian revels in reaching for the horizon. To others, because the Roadmaster is unlike anything they’ve ever seen before.

In a country where size is equated with might and luxury is often directly related to the ability of a vehicle to turn heads wherever it goes, the idea of luxury motorcycling in India becomes slightly different from the West. If you were to think of open highways, rock and roll music, and motorcycles – you might probably be thinking of a two-wheeled version of the “American Dream.” But, fancy terminologies aside, what you might be thinking of is the state highways of California and the said motorcycle being a ‘Chopper’ which means that it has been extensively worked upon and modified to express the personality of the rider who owns that machine.

<img alt="Indian Roadmaster Side View Static1" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/01/Indian-Roadmaster-Side-View-Static1.jpg" width="1280" />

This “dream” of luxury motorcycling comes crashing down in India when you get your hands on a machine with such high luxury and stature in the world of cruiser motorcycles. The state highways of California look like a distant dream – both literally and figuratively – and it turns out what you have ahead of you are the likes of the Delhi-Jaipur highway or a sprint between Mumbai-Pune, and so on. As for the motorcycle, perhaps the most you can do is accessorise it with more lights than it already has because the idea of riding a “Chopper” goes out of the window when you realise that modifying vehicles in India is illegal. Your high-rake-look motorcycle will probably end up getting you traffic challans or result in a lot of time wasted in awkward conversations with the cops.

<q>'The Indian Roadmaster is “yuuge,” as the ex-American president Donald Trump would say'</q>

But you are here to read about the Indian Roadmaster, so why am I going on about bashing your teenage motorcycle dream? The reason is simple, motorcycles like the Roadmaster, when ridden in places like Delhi-NCR – where we rode it, give an experience unlike anything you have ever thought of before. That’s what was the case with me too. But to make you better understand that, I have to leave behind the typical idea of luxury cruiser motorcycles defined by popular culture from the West and approach everything with a blank slate and make you do the same.

Once you do that, you will start to see the Indian Roadmaster in an all-new light.

<img alt="Indian Roadmaster Static1" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/01/Indian-Roadmaster-Static1.jpg" width="1280" />

“It’s Yuuge!”

The Indian Roadmaster is “yuuge,” (read: huge) as the ex-American president Donald Trump would say. And as a result, wherever the motorcycle goes, it has people looking at it. And honestly, it is a mix of emotions. Many of those looks are from other riders and drivers of “What The Fruit!” as a motorcycle this big is not something they expect in their peripheral vision. Others, mostly, are observing the Roadmaster and its finer details which evidently, and understandably, takes time – the motorcycle is almost 2.6m long!

There are several stages to the shock and awe. It may start with them noticing the music coming out of the motorcycle’s 200-watt speakers placed in the fairing and around the back seat, or sometimes it is the burbling exhaust note. However, the final stage of observation is always of appreciation.

During my time with the motorcycle, I received several questions about the price, some complimented my riding skills for handling such a machine at city speeds of&nbsp;30 km/h and some even cracked jokes with the overarching theme being that is the Roadmaster a bike or a helicopter, for some reason.

<img alt="Indian Roadmaster Static Shot1" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/01/Indian-Roadmaster-Static-Shot1.jpg" width="1280" />

Overall, it makes for a conversation/camera app starter, and if you are someone like me who does not mind the small talk, you will find it all to be rather chucklesome. If you like being the centre of attention, then the Roadmaster is as good as it gets.

<q>'It makes for a conversation and camera app starter. If you don’t mind the small talk, you’ll find it all to be rather chucklesome'</q>

“I’m Lovin’ It”

Once you finish admiring the motorcycle from afar and take it for a ride, you will probably say what many Americans do after a meal from their most popular food chain. That’s because the Thunderstroke 116 V-twin engine is as smooth as err… cheese? Okay, I know I need to stop with these references. So, I will get straight to it – the 1890cc engine with the 6-speed transmission is one of the smoothest motorcycle drivetrains money can buy in India right now.

What you have at your disposal with the twist of the throttle is a meaty 171Nm of torque delivered as low as 3,000 rpm. You also get three riding modes – Tour, Standard and Sport. While Sport is uncharacteristic with its sharp throttle response and Standard can sometimes feel fidgety, the Tour mode is the best for almost all riding conditions.

What you would love is that the Roadmaster is full of features. The most helpful during our time with the motorcycle during Delhi’s December winter were the multi-stage-adjustable heated grips and the electronically adjustable wind deflector. Then, when you combine these features with the hard lower fairing that the Roadmaster comes with, pretty much all the wind that would have otherwise come in direct contact with the rider is deflected away. The motorcycle also comes with multi-stage adjustable cooled and heated seats – for both front and rear passengers – which make the ride experience cosy.

<img alt="Indian Roadmaster Seat1" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/01/Indian-Roadmaster-Seat1.jpg" width="1280" />

The downside to this air-bending is that at slower speeds, when the engine gets hot, you don’t have enough cold wind to cool things down either. The engine got unbearably hot in start-stop traffic, and do note that this observation comes while testing in the peak winter season. I can only imagine how extreme it would get during the summers. And in case you are wondering, opening the inlets on the lower hard fairing does not have a significant impact at low speeds.

The motorcycle also comes with rear cylinder deactivation, which happens when it comes to a stop. While this may help marginally with fuel efficiency, this too, is not enough to cool things down.

It’s a “La-Z-Boy”!

Once the roads open, though, the comfort is at par with the iconic La-Z-Boy chairs. And this is where you will enjoy the motorcycle the most. The chassis is so good that the motorcycle feels stable at highway speeds, feels agile during quick changes in direction, and can hold its line well through long corners.

During U-turns, however, you will notice the humongous 1,668mm wheelbase and the big turning radius that the Roadmaster has. You will also have to learn to always park in the ready-to-go position, as reversing this behemoth alone can be a task. It weighs 403kgs with fuel, and with such weight, the absence of a reverse gear is definitely felt, something that you get on the likes of the BMW K1600 and the Honda Gold Wing.

<img alt="Indian Roadmaster Instrument Console1" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/01/Indian-Roadmaster-Instrument-Console1.jpg" width="1280" />

Other features include Bluetooth connectivity, USB charging port, remote locking saddlebags and trunk, keyless ignition, cruise control, ABS and a 7.0-inch touchscreen that registers inputs even with gloves on. The bike also has Apple CarPlay integration but requires a tedious process of signing up and creating accounts on the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/indian/">Indian Motorcycles’</a> app and is not a simple plug-and-play process – which is how it should have been.

“Can’t Help Falling in Love”

But at the end of the day, the Indian Roadmaster is more than its specifications and features. It is an experience, and despite not being the perfect motorcycle, it makes you want to return to it.

You would want to feel that road open up again rewarding you with some cool wind after you have put in the effort of slow-roasting yourself through crawling traffic. You find yourself missing the little conversations with strangers who create affection for you at a glance, the not-so-funny jokes made with pure intent, the shock, the awe, the music and at the end of it all – the craving to get back on the Indian Roadmaster once again.

<img alt="Indian Roadmaster Badging1" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/01/Indian-Roadmaster-Badging1.jpg" width="1280" />

The only question is will you spend half a crore to bring this motorcycle home? To find the answer, perhaps listen to one of the greatest hits by probably the most renowned American artist ever – Can’t Help Falling in Love, by Elvis Presley. Then visualise yourself on the Roadmaster, but this time, make sure your version is the “Indian Dream.”&nbsp;

Indian Roadmaster First Ride Review: Rest Assured

The open road never looked so good. To you, because the Indian revels in reaching for the horizon. To others, because the Roadmaster is unlike anything they’ve ever seen before. Here's our take on the Indian Roadmaster.

Indian Roadmaster – Photos

Indian Motorcycle has dropped the wraps on the limited-edition Elite trims of the 2022 Challenger and Chieftain baggers in the international markets. Both the motorcycles now come with a host of additional elements over their standard counterparts.&nbsp;

In addition to this, the motorcycles get ABS, keyless ignition, tyre pressure monitoring, and remote-locking saddlebags as standard. Interestingly, now even the Chieftain Elite is equally packing.

The <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/indian/">Indian&nbsp;</a>Chieftain Elite comes with an adaptive LED headlight, tinted windscreen, large footboards, saddlebag LEDs, and a 400W PowerBand audio system, similar to the Challenger. Other notable equipment includes a seven-inch TFT display, ABS, keyless ignition, a tire pressure monitoring system, and 68-litre saddlebags.

In terms of powerplants, the Challenger gets a 122bhp, 1,768cc, V-twin, PowerPlus engine, the Chieftain rides on a bigger, 1,901, Thunderstroke 116 mill. Both the motorcycles come with three riding models to suit different riding styles.&nbsp;

2022 Indian Challenger, Chieftain Limited Edition Elite trims unveiled for international markets

Indian Motorcycle has unveiled the limited-edition Elite trims of the 2022 Challenger and Chieftain baggers in the international markets. Here's a quick rundown of all the changes in the new versions of the motorcycle.

Shivank ranks and rates five&nbsp;standout motorcycles&nbsp;from 2021 that impressed him the most this year.&nbsp;

You know the kind of job we do, right? If not, here’s a quick reminder. Every year we get to drive/ride new machines in the name of ‘work,’ and then just to make it look serious and important, we put out our first impressions of new cars and bikes for you guys/prospective buyers/enthusiasts. It’s a fancy job, there's no denying that, but then not all cars are ‘fun’ or ‘thrilling’ as some of you might expect to be the case. Sometimes it can be&nbsp;a bit boring too.&nbsp;

That said, there are more than a few occasions when a new car or bike knocks us out of our senses.&nbsp;These are the machines that make you grateful for having a job like this. The ones that make a lasting impression on you.&nbsp;

So, without further ado,&nbsp;allow me to rank my top 5 motorcycles of 2021 before the year comes to an end:

Ducati Multistrada V4 S

There’s a running joke among my colleagues that I get bribed by Ducati for promoting the Multistrada so much. I know that’s not the case, but sometimes I do question my motivations for going to great lengths to show my love and appreciation for the Multistrada, which, frankly, can be a bit too much. However, the latest iteration of Ducati’s heavyweight ADV, the Multistrada V4, deserves every bit of praise, and then some. This motorcycle has me totally smitten, and it is, without doubt, the best motorcycle I rode this whole year. The Multistrada V4 is the kind of motorcycle that makes you wonder why we only have two kidneys. Why can’t we have 10, so that we can trade them to experience the joys of owning this mighty and magical Multistrada?&nbsp;&nbsp;

Yamaha Aerox 155<img alt="Yamaha Aerox 155 Motion Shot1" height="720" src="/uploads/2021/12/Yamaha-Aerox-155-Motion-Shot1.jpg" width="1280" />

After the R3, I can’t remember any Yamaha product that has excited me as much as the Aerox 155. Truth be told, I wasn’t prepared to get&nbsp;bowled over by this pocket rocket. But after living with it for a couple of days, I’m completely sold. It’s a thinking man’s R15. It’s a scooter with a twist. It rides and handles beautifully, and it makes you want to buy one immediately. It makes everyday mundane tasks/commute fun. And, more importantly,&nbsp;it goes on to show that when Yamaha gets a product right, they&nbsp;get it so damn right!

TVS Apache RR 310

Here’s a confession&nbsp;– the TVS Apache RR 310 was a motorcycle that I absolutely hated when I rode the original version back in 2017. It had crazy vibrations, and every body panel&nbsp;on it jingled and jangled like Christmas bells. But while the first version felt incomplete, TVS has now&nbsp;turned things around completely, and how! I rode the latest 2021 version earlier this year, and I came back with a simple declaration – it’s the ‘Best Sports Bike in India’. And that’s&nbsp;a statement that I stand by even today. For our market, there isn’t a sports bike that’s as complete as the RR 310. You can scorch the racetrack with it, you can go sport-touring, and you can ride it daily, too. On top of that, it looks gobsmackingly brilliant. And you can experience all of this without breaking the bank.&nbsp;

Honda CB500X

<img alt="Honda CB500X" height="720" src="/uploads/2021/03/08.jpg" width="1280" />

When I rode the Honda CB500X for the first time, I said it’s 'middleweight perfection'. The CB500X is the kind of motorcycle that you want to live with and ride every day and everywhere. It’s a no-nonsense ADV that has virtually all the bases covered. The parallel-twin engine’s got enough oomph to keep you entertained, and its handling is impeccable. And because it comes with long-travel suspension, it’s well-suited for our less-than-perfect roads. It’s sweet, simple, and an honest-to-God motorcycle. It's a real shame that Honda priced it exorbitantly because if it weren’t for its high sticker price, the CB500X would have been selling like hotcakes!

Indian Chief Dark Horse 

<img alt="2022 Indian Chief Dark Horse handling" height="720" src="/uploads/2021/12/2022-Indian-Chief-Dark-Horse-handling.jpg" width="1280" />

Be it headbanging music or American cruisers, I’m not a fan of heavy metal. However, the day I rode the new Indian Chief Dark Horse, I was in for a rude awakening. What a motorcycle, honestly! I’ve always been under the impression that cruisers are meant for&nbsp;lazy old blokes who ride motorcycles as a ‘hobby’. But the Chief Dark Horse changed my mind. It’s a proper hoot to ride. A quintessential hot rod, if you will. I no longer have that aversion to cruisers. I now think they're rather&nbsp;brilliant!

Surprise&nbsp;of the Year: Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250

<img alt="Harley Davidson Pan America 1250 Front Quarter Motion1" height="720" src="/uploads/2021/10/Harley-Davidson-Pan-America-1250-Front-Quarter-Motion1.jpg" width="1280" />

When the Pan America concept made its world debut back in 2018, I quipped that Harley-Davidson had&nbsp;lost its mind. But a couple of months ago, I got to ride Harley’s ADV behemoth, and I must say that that the humble pie I was served that day tasted great. Sure, the Pan America is not as accomplished as a big GS or a Multistrada, but for a company that’s never made an ADV before, the Pan America is so damn close to being perfect. Nobody expected Harley-Davidson to get the ADV formula right in its first attempt, which is&nbsp;why it makes this motorcycle all the more impressive. And I think that it's&nbsp;definitely the best underdog story of the year.
