Last year of 2012 was surely a great year for all the the biking enthusiasts. Right at the start, we had the Delhi Auto Expo where Honda 2 wheelers sweetly surprised everyone by showcasing (and later on launching) the Honda CBR150R. The very same month, Bajaj Auto finally announced the advent of the KTM Duke 200, a bike we all had been waiting for since a long time.
And leveraging on the technology support of KTM, it seemed Bajaj also wanted to go out and have some more thrill which made them bring the 2012 version of the Pulsar, the Pulsar 200NS (NS standing for Naked Sport). Bikers of the nation suddenly had not one but two powerful 200cc monsters to chose from. This was surely something that was unprecedented and clearly revealed the changing face of Indian biking.

Someone’s finally gonna cross Harley-Davidson’s path in India. And it is none other than the “Chief”!
A quick background check, now. Indian Motorcycle is a brand of the United States which has a rich legacy dating back to the pre-World War era.

Let’s face it; when it comes to safety on road, motorcyclists are arguably the most vulnerable people on the road who encounter and eventually find themselves into a lot of accidents. Studies show that because motorcycles are much smaller in size they may not be seen virtually in the state highways mostly by other motorists.
In worst cases even when highway motorists do see riders, many don’t demonstrate sufficient respect for them keeping a reason or another in their mind. It all boils down to either conscious or unconscious act, but in either way Motorcyclists life hangs around on that.
