The Honda Gold Wing became the first motorcycle to be equipped with Apple CarPlay when the feature was introduced for the bike back in 2017, and now it gets Android Auto too


The Honda Gold Wing is a series of touring motorcycles sold by Honda since over four decades. The Gold Wing is one of the most comfortable cruising motorcycles that money can buy you, and that is also the reason that the superbike is retailed at a starting price of Rs 27.79 lakh (ex-showroom) in India, making it Honda’s flagship offering in the country.

From June onwards, Honda will start offering the Gold Wing with Android Auto connectivity, which will allow the rider to seamlessly access smartphone functions such as music, phone calls and messaging, given that the rider has an Android phone. There’s no need for Apple iPhone users to be jealous, since the Gold Wing received Apple CarPlay integration back in 2017.

The Gold Wing draws power from a 1,833 cc flat-six engine that puts out 124.7 hp of maximum power at 5,500 rpm and 170 Nm of peak torque at 4,500 rpm. The transmission duties are handled by a 7-speed DCT automatic gearbox. The Gold Wing is so big in size, that it comes with a dedicated electric reverse gear. Four different ride modes are available with the bike, namely Tour, Sport, Economy and Rain – with the ECU also controlling brake force distribution depending on the mode.

Other features on offer include Honda’s Smart Key which allows for keyless opening of panniers & trunk and also starting the ignition, push-button start, full-LED lighting, an electric windscreen, a premium audio system, a 7.0-inch TFT screen for the instrument cluster, Hill Start Assist and more.

With the smartphone connectivity, Honda intends to deliver more convenience and comfort to the Gold Wing customers on a global scale. The Japanese automaker currently offers the Gold Wing in India with only one paint scheme i.e. Candy Ardent Red. The ultra luxury cruiser competes against the likes of the Harley Davidson Street Glide, as well as the Indian Roadmaster here.

Saurav Verma’s ‘KTM RC 390 SRV’ takes inspiration from the stance of a falcon KTM products are easily the best in India’s single-cylinder sports motorcycle category. The Austrian brand (in which Bajaj Auto has a 48% stake) has updated all its products to BS6 emission norms at the start of this year. In terms of performance as well as equipment, KTMs have always had an edge over its competitors. In fact, the all-new KTM 390 Adventure has set a benchmark in the Indian motorcycle scenario. In the current KTM India line-up, the faired RC range is relatively outdated. Even though we get only the RC 200 and RC 390 in the domestic market, KTM India assembles and exports the mid-range RC 250 in Bajaj’s manufacturing facility in Chakan, Pune. Meanwhile, the next-gen KTM RC 390 was spotted a few months before doing test runs in European roads in its early prototype avatar. KTM products follow a unique design philosophy with their exposed trellis frame, orange highlights and quir

The  Classic 350  and  Bullet 350  have been Royal Enfield’s best selling motorcycles in India for many years now. The two motorcycles also recently received updates to make them BS6-compliant. Here, we take a look at the details of the Classic 350 and Bullet 350 that differentiate them from each other. Styling Royal Enfield has designed the Classic 350 as well as Bullet 350 keeping in mind classic motorcycles. Both get round, conventionally-lit headlamps and are adorned with chrome elements to suit their retro styling. However, the two motorcycles get slight cosmetic differences that set them apart visually. To begin with, the Classic 350 gets tank grips which the Bullet 350 misses out on. It also sports a pulled-back handlebar whereas the unit on the Bullet 350 is slightly higher, which offers the rider an even more upright riding posture. Furthermore, the Bullet 350 sports a square battery box instead of the oval box fitted on the Classic 350. The motorcycles
