@autocarindia1 what happened to the Honda Shine?🤔🙂

[@metaversewr8827]

When will you announce the winner???

[@Tanish_Popalkar]

Winner?

[@venkatadri1299]

2:29 smallest capacity bike😏 shine 100 left the chat😂

[@simpleerger]

Exactly

[@idrisahmed2659]

Triumph speed 400 clear winner absolutely vfm ...and the performance especially mid range is super engaging .....and ive seen many speeds already on the road so its even selling well ...... Its the bike of the year

[@ROHANBEHERA-os6ty]

Mg ad must be removed....😢😢

[@sakyaroy]

Yeah man it's so irritating

[@OnixinO]

Ohh teri😂

[@SidhantCreationskpg]

Its still overpriced 😂

[@auroshishswain9000]

"The all new MG ASTOR, now starts at just rupees 9.98 lakhs" 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

[@ducatimultistradav4850]

Speed 400 absolutely killed the competition this time ❤ My definite pick of the lot 😍🔥 It has the looks, presence and performance you can live up with 🎉

[@understanding.everything]

400x

[@hacksmith5]

I've scrambler 400x. Trust me this tr series engine by triumph is fun to ride.

[@shamirsingha4884]

Omg you guys have triump motorcycle manufactured by bajaj , splender will be much better than that because of its originality

[@thegreenapple5166]

@@shamirsingha4884 bruh, it's a good bike. that is what matters not 'originality'

[@shamirsingha4884]

@@thegreenapple5166 btw it's your perspective we are not same bro

[@ashishadlk1984]

Triumph Speed is definitely the bike to look out for this year and is indeed the no. 1 contender for Bike of the Year award 👍

[@seepranavg]

until Himalyan 450 came

[@SmokechedaDaassghetta]

Himalayan is a very specific bike unlike speed.

[@DavidSenna57]

Sorry to say but it's engine is not refined at all,and it's not very reliable 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

[@harshdeshmukh9603]

Its gotta be the speed 400 as it appeals to everyone something not too in the face like the 390 and something not too laid back like the bullet/harley and that engine is just sweet ik they said it has vibrations but most singles cyl do but the way it pulls at low revs so well is just awesome and the bike with that top notch finish stands out as the most worth the money bike out there .... Gotta say Proud owner of this beast 💪🏻❤

[@24638]

I think it's Most confusing and toughest year for the jury. As rishab said 2023 is a milestone year for indian 2 wheeler market.

[@gourabkundu5469]

My pick will be Scrambler 400X, absolutely scramer of a bike🙌❤

[@seepranavg]

Himalayan > scram 400

[@hruaizelakisuke]

​@@seepranavgthat's your pick unlike us

[@dhananjaynatraj4957]

Heating n gear shift issues reported by owners already

[@Aksh8Edits]

Scrambler 400x, Himalayan 450 and duke 390 deserve top 3!

[@hari__3204]

No brainer the Speed 400 gets the crown ✨ i have seen a few rolling on roads and they look beautiful and elegant and riders say they have got some good performance and very good value for Money...👌🏽

[@mrinalb1319]

this is what i always wanted to look BIKES VFM, my personal favourite is DUKE 250 and Scrambler 400X

[@nemesiszz]

Many great bikes were launched this year!

[@Ani_Bro]

How did Honda shine get into this ? 1:10

[@VikasJaink]

Honda Twister got the bike of year award in 2011.

[@terrellpereira7147]

But they didn't mention it at all after that

[@sharmajifotowale]

They can only afford to bring honda shine.. 😅😅😅 they could have chose cb350

[@sipunkumarrout3595]

Triumph Speed400 is the winner for sure 👑

[@adr2567]

Depends on what the jury puts most weightage on. I think VFM is the Speed, best all rounder is the Himi, best looking is the Super Meteor and the most interesting proposition is the Scram400. Considering I’m all about looks and the riding dynamics, I can’t pick a clear winner 😂

[@muralidharans7176]

Wr is Honda CB 350?

[@DavidSenna57]

Even after beating RE in every single aspect 😳😳🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️‼️

[@cchilakamarthy1]

Triumph is very smaller bike with big displacement. But it suits for college students with immature mind who wants to go fast. But harley is perfect bike as it is a long stroke engine

[@yashrajsharma4841]

Triumph Speed 400 is clearly the bike to be called bike of the year 🤩

[@samparkvicky]

My pick - "Scrambler 400x", an eye catcher on streets,excellent built quality and finishing.... An absolute all-rounder to have in your garage.

[@metaversewr8827]

I know some won't agree but here's my choice: 1. Duke 390 2. Speed 400 3. Himalayan 450 4. Apache RTR 310 5. Duke 250 Im ranking them based on most fun to ride motorcycle and with decent features

[@sahilsalhaj962]

I would say the same except the Himalayan would come fifth and rtr comes 3rd

[@Lalala-dg6pt]

Ik people love the Himalayan, but c'mon it would come towards the end, it's a very different bike, if u ask me I prefer sportier bikes like duke/Apache/triumph over the others

[@triples9797]

I agree 💯

[@metaversewr8827]

@@Lalala-dg6pt Himalayan is still very sporty dude,it actually performs really well, go check a few videos I have seen them be on par with some of the 400cc bikes interms of performance out there

[@Lalala-dg6pt]

@@metaversewr8827 yes, but there's a big difference when it comes to handling and u can't use it on track, it's basically just an adventure bike that's more powerful now, not a sports bike by any means. U can't compare it to bikes like ktm when it comes to proper performance there's no competition

[@saumyasundaresan1193]

Triumph 400 is the winner

[@SagarRangaRathna]

The New Royal Enfield Himalayan for touring and Triumph Speed 400 for the city. Will get both. But if I have to choose one it's RE Himalayan❤

[@hruaizelakisuke]

And you ended up riding splendor.... 😂😂😂

[@SagarRangaRathna]

@@hruaizelakisuke No Brother🙂. I own a TVS Apache RTR 160❤, riding and touring since 14 years. Waiting for RE to launch tubeless rims and 2nd batch of the Himalayan.

[@burnttoast9890]

Shine 100 ?

[@Pushkar147]

Is the voice behind the video, Sherman Nazareth? 😃 Great reviewer.. He should be in front of the camera more often.. Still remember his video on Dominar 400 when it was launched

[@ateequrrahman4684]

In my city hero karizma was on olx for sell before arrival in showroom

[@abhijit.datta02]

Does the Bullet have USD forks. It looks like usd but why do I see everywhere in the specs that it is telescopic? Can anyone explain

[@vinay84369]

Is Yezdi scrambler is in the list… it’s absolutely fun to ride this power machine❤❤

[@gotham8435]

Scrambler 400 is a banger fr sure, Himalayan is priced high now, starting at 285k

[@gregyance9901]

where are the results? , its been three months now , it could be possible to throw the mavrick 440 in teh competition? please let us know when will the veredict be available

[@balavigneshbaliah1545]

Hey Autocar. Great video. Thank you for this help. The title says "...best new bikes of 2023", Yup they are. . .

[@chinmai1719]

Why none of Moto Journalists never ever spoke about absence of traction control on the new Himalayan. Other Bikes would have been criticised left and right if this was missing. Absence of such tech that too in a higher cc n adv is a big miss. Looks to be bias towards the Himalayan

[@virupakshawalla5734]

Lol. Traction control on 450cc bike just isn't needed. 40bhp not 140 😂

[@medsedled]

isnt spoke rims a major deawback i know tubeless spokes are on the way but its going to take months ad they gonna cost 30-50 k thats putting himalyan in ktm duke price range also no traction control but i love its display best in class

[@prathviparihar7857]

WTF shine doing there 😂

[@thesaurabh0210]

what honda shine doing there? No hunter, no honda CB350s..strange!!

[@siddhantraj4916]

2019 pair is the best black cement ever but i sure want these

[@sciics]

TVS did the unthinkable and bought tech, innovation. for me Brand of the year and tech of the year!

[@dheeraj3945]

Even Autocar is comparing a Scrambler to an Adventure tourer! What's happening!

[@abhi8441999]

They have already decided to give the crown to Himalayan. These award shows are all delusional.

[@hruaizelakisuke]

Cause they are RE fanboy.

[@plainwhiteshorts]

Why did you not talk about Honda Shine?

[@sksadilettante5685]

If you're going all in, why cut corners with alloy wheels? Why not bang the market with spoke wheels like the litre class beemers?

[@dileepaditya8570]

Yeah, RE Bullet is an all new product! 😂

[@neevesybikes]

Excellent stuff! 😊👍

Himalayan 450 is great bike in its class ADV/Touring. TVS RTR 310 is friendly for Entry level rider to Ametuer Rider. Its so easy to ride while still can also go hard. Making us look professional 😂.
