Fast Bikes India - January 2018

Happy New Year to you lot? Or Happy Birthday to us? We’re stumped! Yes, we’re one year old this month. And to celebrate, we did the only thing we could. We rode harder, did more comparos, went to a tyre factory and toured one more place on earth. Headlining all this is of course our cover story on the long awaited TVS Apache RR 310, formerly known as the Akula 33. We then followed it up with two fabulous comparos. But that’s not all, there’s a lot more we’ve covered in our first anniversary special.
