The Bajaj Dominar 400 offers the best value proposition at its price point, but improvements can always be made to a product. Keeping that in mind, Bajaj has gone ahead and done just the same. The 2019 edition of the Dominar 400 receives a host of upgrades that makes it a better product. The motorcycle continues to keep with the same design but has received few subtle updates to give it a fresh appeal. The motorcycle is available with the choice of two colour schemes Aurora Green and Vine Black. In terms of equipment, it receives an updated instrument console providing more information to the rider, secondary display on the fuel tank, new side mirrors, forged side stand and a double-barrel exhaust. In order to maximise its touring abilities, the motorcycle comes with straps located beneath the pillion seat that can be used to mount luggage using bungee cords. Coming to the mechanical upgrades, the motorcycle now features inverted front forks borrowed from the KTM range. And with that, it also gets a radial caliper for the braking system up front. The rear continues to sport a monoshock and a single disc for braking. Dual-channel ABS is standard. Next is the motor. Its the same 373.2cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder mill that now comes with a DOHC configuration. This has allowed Bajaj to extract more power from the engine which more produces 39.4bhp of max power at 8650rpm and 35Nm of peak torque at 7000rpm.
The Apache RTR 160 has been around for well over a decade now, and the 4V is the new generation of 150cc premium commuter from the Hosur-based manufacturer. It has got input from TVSs racing division, and the new 160 4V shows derivations that certainly make it sporty. For one, the engine has a four-valve head, which makes it the only 150cc premium commuter besides the Bajaj Pulsar NS 160 with as many valves. It also gets oil cooling. It generates 16.1 or 16.3bhp, depending upon whether it is the carburetted or FI engine. Torque stand at 14.8Nm. A rear disc brake is optional for the carburetted version but the FI gets a rear disc brake as standard. ABS is on the options list now, for a little over Rs 3000 more over the equivalent non-ABS variant. It is a single-channel system. You get a slightly narrower rear tyre if you opt for the rear drum. The RTR 160 4V takes a lot of design cues from the RTR 200 4V but adds a few curvy bits like with the tank extensions, which makes it a very good looking motorcycle. The Apache RTR 160 4V competes with the other premium 150cc commuters like the Yamaha FZ-S, Suzuki Gixxer, Honda CB Hornet 160R, Honda XBlade, Bajaj Pulsar NS160 and its very own Apache RTR 180.

The Jupiter is powered by a 109cc air-cooled single cylinder engine that generates 7.8bhp and 8Nm. It runs on 12-inch rims, both front and rear, which was a unique wheel size combination for the Indian market when it launched.

It is available in a staggering twelve colour options, and the Classic variant offers a retro touch with windshields, chrome accents and circular chrome mirrors. The Classic models are available with a front disc brake as standard, while the top-spec ZX trim has the front disc brake as an option.

This is the fully faired version of the Xtreme 200R. It is priced under a lakh ex-showroom in Delhi, and it makes no pretence of being an out and out sports bike. Sure, it is still for the Aam aadmi; still for the commuter junta; and still for those who will only own one motorcycle. But, Hero says the extra pizzazz that the Xtreme 200S brings in, is something even commuter-centric consumers want. Lets be honest, after what Hero did with its last fully faired offering - the new Karizma - even mashed potato on a plate looks more handsome. But this one, is a job well done. The 200S has good proportions. Its not heart-achingly pretty, but it is sporty, and is good looking enough to draw a second glance.
The Xtreme Sports is a premium 150cc commuter motorcycle, targeted at young customers looking for a stylish yet efficient motorcycle for their daily commute. While it is based on the standard Xtreme, the Xtreme Sports gets a slew of cosmetic and mechanical updates to help it rival the likes of Suzuki Gixxer, Honda CB Unicorn 160 and the Yamaha FZ Version 2.0. To visually differentiate it from the standard Xtreme, Hero MotoCorp has equipped the Xtreme Sports with a redesigned cowl near the fuel tank and one underneath the engine. Hero has also included a revised headlamp unit and an instrument cluster.
The Bullet 350 is Royal Enfields entry-level offering that is available in two different variants, one with original old school Royal Enfield badging with kick start while the other comes in single-tone livery with chrome accents and an electric starter. Over the years, the iconic Bullet has evolved, but still stayed true to its essence of being an old-school cruiser. The Bullet 350 features retro dials with an analogue speedometer, ammeter, and a key slot on the console. It is powered by an air-cooled 346cc single-cylinder air-cooled mill churning out 19.8bhp of power and 28Nm of torque. It is mated to a five-speed gearbox with the gear lever on the left side, in order to make it familiar and accessible like other motorcycles.

Both variants are equipped with single-channel ABS for the front brake and RLP (Rear wheel Lift-off Protection) as well. The base model of the Bullet 350 Twinspark is only available in one colour black and is the most affordable Royal Enfield in the market. However, it misses out on features like self-start. The Bullet 350 ES ABS, on the other hand, is available in three colours black, silver and maroon.
The Himalayan is an all-rounder motorcycle built on an all new platform from Royal Enfield. It is a 411cc adventure motorcycle which was partly developed in the United Kingdom. The motorcycle brings a series of firsts for the brand. In terms of styling, it is purposeful. Minimalistic styling and no fancy curves and creases. The motorcycle comes in white or black with a neat Himalayan graphic running across the centre of the motorcycle. Recently, the Sleet has been added to the range. The Himalayan is powered by a fuel-injected 411cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine that produces 24.5bhp at 6500rpm and peak torque of 32Nm at 4000-4500rpm.

The bike rides on a 21-inch 90/90 CEAT tyre in the front and 17-inch 120/90 tyre at the rear. These are on/off-road tyres, as befits the motorcycle.
Royal Enfield saw a need in the market for an urban cruiser, and this is the result: the Thunderbird 500X. It gets a driveline similar to the regular Thunderbird 500, but there are a few changes. One, it is available in bright, single-tone colours in the same vein as the Classic Redditch series. The 500X is available in light blue or bright orange. The handlebar is a flatter, wider one, which helps with manoeuverability in the city. It gets all-black treatment, which extends to the alloy wheels. This is the first time a Royal Enfield has been shipped with alloy wheels and tubeless tyres from the factory. It gets the same 499cc fuel-injected single-cylinder air-cooled engine from the Thunderbird 500. It generates 27.2bhp and 41Nm and transmits it via a five-speed gearbox. The wheels are a 19-inch front and an 18-inch rear. There are disc brakes at both ends, with a 280mm front disc and a 240mm rear one. The seat of the Thunderbird 500X has been changed it is a more modern-looking one. The riders seat is wider, and the pillion seat is smaller. The pillion backrest has also been left out. The pricing of the Tbird 500X makes it the most expensive single-cylinder Royal Enfield on sale today. The Royal Enfield Thunderbird 500X competes with the likes of the Bajaj Dominar 400 ABS and UM Renegade Sports S directly. Bikes like the KTM 250 Duke and TVS Apache RR310 are priced similarly, although their target audience is a very different one.
The Classic 500 motorcycle is a part of Royal Enfields Retro Street series. The bike sports retro styling that distinguishes itself from the rest of the motorcycles on the road today. The Classic range is the highest selling motorcycle in Royal Enfields range. Dont be surprised if a dealer asks you to wait for six months before you get your bike. The Classic 500 is powered by a 499cc single-cylinder Twinspark engine that produces 27.2bhp at 5250rpm and a maximum torque of 41.3Nm at 4000rpm. This engine is mated to a five-speed gearbox that transfers power to the rear wheel via a chain drive. It gets Keihin electronic fuel injection, helping the motorcycle deliver linear power and torque. It gets both an electric as well as a kickstart. A rear disc brake and ABS have recently been introduced to the range
The Royal Enfield Classic Desert Storm features a unique sand paint scheme reminiscent of the First and the Second World War era - a time when Royal Enfield motorcycles were among the common form of utilities for soldiers in the desert. Since its based on a standard Classic 500, the Classic Desert Storm uses the same fuel injected 500cc, single cylinder, 4-stroke engine producing 27.2bhp of power at 5,250rpm and 41.3Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. It is mated to a five-speed gearbox. The tank is finished in post war era graphics, helping create a vintage look. At the back, the Desert Storm features a short silencer for that 1950s look. Royal Enfield, however, says it is available as an optional accessory and for off-road use only. Strangely, there are no other changes to the Desert Storm from the standard Classic models, like different tyres, to make it off-road capable. A rear disc brake is now standard.
The Suzuki Access 125 is the flagship commuter model in the companys scooter lineup. Apart from revising the chassis and powertrain, Suzuki has retained the universally appealing but slightly bland looks for the Access.

Suzuki has committed to developing its motorcycle range in the 150+ segment. They already have the Gixxer streetbike and the Gixxer SF, its fully faired sibling. The cruiser format is represented by this, the Intruder. The name as well as the styling is derived from the M1800R, the cruiser that among other things, had the widest rear tyre on a production motorcycle when it was launched. The Intruder shares its powertrain with the Gixxer a 155cc 14.6bhp motor powers the rear wheel via a five-speed gearbox. Fuel injection is available as an option. The rear tyre is the widest in the segment, at 140mm, and that feeling is echoed when you sit on the motorcycle those tank extensions make the Intruder feel a whole lot wider than it is, and it thus feels like a whole lot more motorcycle as well. The seat is also a lot wider than a standard seat, but it is very low as well, offering confidence and comfort to the cruiser aficionado. The Intruder does look odd from certain angles that tail lamp and surround echoes the GSX1300R Hayabusa, but most people will not pick that for design inspiration to begin with. The exhaust design looks great from a distance but close up the daylight behind the mesh at the tip doesnt look good. However, if a modern 150cc cruiser is what youre looking for, you cant currently do better than an Intruder on looks or handling.

It may be the highest-selling two-wheeler in the Indian market, but Honda hasnt stopped the evolution of the Activa. The latest set of updates that make up the 5G are more than merely cosmetic. The front apron gets chrome accents, but the LED headlamp will draw your attention first. The top-spec Deluxe variant even gets a digital display below the analogue speedometer; it now shows the fuel gauge, odometer and trip meter and a clock in the digital part of the instrument cluster. The Activa 5G also gets the new ignition key slot from the Grazia, which has the provision for the seat release. At the heart of the Activa 5G is the same 109cc engine which delivers 8bhp and 8.8Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a CVT transmission. It still rides on the archaic trailing-link front suspension and a rear monoshock. The brake setup consists of drum units at both ends with a combi braking system being offered as standard. A disc brake is not offered, even as an option. The Activa 5G is available in eight paint schemes blue, white, red, silver, black, grey brown and yellow. It shares the market space with the TVS Jupiter, Hero Maestro Edge and the Yamaha Fascino.
