Royal Enfield Classic 350 CC Despite their dated design, the classic-looking motorcycles have a special flavor which attracts many fans. This is why many contemporary models keep the vintage lines of the old motorcycles. However what lies under the skin is far from being dated as most of them are fitted with modern engines and technologies. At the heart of the Royal Enfield Classic 350 lies a capable engine borrowed from the Thunderbird Twinspark. Maybe the single cylinder unit won’t impress you with its 19.8 bhp and 28 Nm of torque, but these figures are enough to help you deal effortless with the open road. The engine is combined with a five speed gearbox, especially tuned to maximize the fuel efficiency. The Classic 350 is powered by a 346cc engine that churns out 19.8bhp of power and 28Nm of torque. Though the torque has decreased marginally, the power figure has been increased by a significant 1.8bhp. This mill is carburetted and misses out on the electronic fuel injection (EFI) which the Classic 500 gets. This motorcycle has all the qualities of a typical Royal Enfield and a relaxed and comfortable cruiser is what the company still intends to provide. Though there are not many changes to the design, the company has now equipped the motorcycle with 18-inch wheel rims instead of the conventional 19-inches, giving the owners the freedom to choose their tyres from a wide variety in the aftermarket. 1000Per DayCRUISER Security Deposit: 1000 Specifications Displacement 346 CC Maximum Power 19.8 Bhp @ 5250 rpm Maximum Torque 28 Nm @ 4000 rpm Seat Height 800 mm Kerb/Wet Weight 192 kg Fuel Tank Capacity 13.50 litres Top Speed 120 kmph Fuel System UCAL 29mm, Constant Vacuum Carburettor Cooling Air Cooling No. of Cylinders 1 Emission Standard BS4 Ignition Transistorised Coil Ignition No. of Gears 5 Clutch Wet, multi-plate Front Brake 280mm Disc, 2-Piston caliper Rear Brake 153mm Drum, Single Lead Internal Expanding Wheel Type Spoke Year 2013-15

This Honda Activa 3G is the third generation model of the Activa, which was launched in early 2015, 15 years after the first generation Activa made its debut in India. It is still powered by an 110cc engine which produces 8bhp and 8.83Nm of torque. Of course, Honda Two Wheelers introduced new technologies such as Honda Eco Technology (HET), which essentially improved the fuel efficiency figures and the performance too. The ARAI claimed efficiency for the Honda Activa 3G is 60Km/l. The Activa was always a spartan scooter and was more about practicality and ease of use than performance and desirability. It gets an analogue instrumentation panel whereas some of the competition has moved on to digital or at least part analogue part digital consoles. Its immediate competition is the TVS Jupiter and the Hero Maestro Edge along with the Mahindra Gusto and the Yamaha Fascino. A few months ago, 50 Honda Activa scooters were retro-fitted with CNG engines in order to create awareness about green and sustainable energy as well.

The Fazer Version 2.0 is offered with a new 149cc, 4-stroke, single-cylinder engine. Cosmetically, the Fazer continues with its semi-fairing and twin headlights at the front, which sets it apart from the FZ and FZ-S. The new 149cc, air-cooled engine develops 12.9bhp and 12.8Nm of torque through a five-speed gearbox. The front gets conventional telescopic suspension and a monoshock with a swingarm at the rear. Stopping power is courtesy a disc brake in the front and drum brake at the rear.
