Best Bikes at Auto Expo 2016 – Honda Navi
Perched at the top of our list of best bikes at Auto Expo 2016 is the all-new Honda Navi, a rather interesting take on scooter-bike crossover by the geniuses at Honda Motorcycles and Scooters India. Powered by a 110cc motor that has been borrowed from the highly successful Activa automatic scooter, the Navi combines the convenience a lightweight, sufficiently powerful automatic scooter with the high fun factor that comes from its bike-like dynamics. And what’s really impressive is that this bike, which looks poised to create an all-new segment in our bike marker, will be priced much lower than some of the entry-level motorcycles on sale today. A lifestyle product for a price of a 100cc commuter? That’s the Navi for you. Here are all the details –

HMSI has annoucned that the Navi will be priced @ INR 39,500 when it goes on sale in April this year.

Currently just in its concept stage, the Akula 310 gives us a good hint at things to come from the popular Hosur-based Indian motorcycle manufacturer.

Best Bikes at Auto Expo 2016 – Hero XF3R
Akin to earlier editions of the Auto Expo, this year’s Expo too has an interesting concept from Hero MotoCorp.

Hero XF3R Price
As we just said, there’s no word on the launch date of XF3R and hence, we believe that it is too early to speculate on this bike’s official price.
Hero XF3R Specifications
Hero hasn’t been too vocal about this bike’s power figures and all it has said is that the XF3R is a bigger-than-300cc bike that is ‘Born to be wild’.
