The B3 - Big Bikes Battle - 2011 Kawasaki Ninja 650R


Go ten years back in time. Fresh out of college, it was time to find your feet in this world. You wanted the thrill of motorcycling, but there weren’t too many realistic options around then. You opted for a trusty run-of-the-mill two-wheeler and it ensured that you got things done in time. Today, you’ve made it. You’ve got a comfortable life and couldn’t ask for much more, and, along the way, you parted ways with your two-wheeled steed and opted for the safety of a car. But your motorcycling dream has always been at the back of your mind. And there couldn’t be a better time than right now to realise it. Here then, are three great options that are available in India today — the Kawasaki Ninja 650R, Hyosung GT650R and Harley-Davidson Super Low.
