Honda shows off the upscaled Rebel, BMW rolls out the new G 310 R
For those who are not in the know, the Rebel is Honda's flagship cruiser motorcycle. The rugged street king got a major boost in power for the 2021 model year, with Honda throwing in their Africa Twin's Africa Twin's new 1,084cc parallel-twin as its powerplant. The engine makes a respectable 101Hp and 77 lb-ft of torque, which can be sent to the rear wheel through a six-speed gearbox or a DCT. Feature-wise the bike is loaded with advanced stuff like ride-by-wire, dual ABS, Selectable Torque Control with wheelie control. Of cores all these doses come with a sticker price of $9,299, meaning even if our accursed cc-limit disappears overnight, very few in Bangladesh can actually afford one of these.

BMW's entry-level naked sport got its annual refresh and it's still as desirable as it was last year. Updates include all-around LED lighting and a self-boosting, anti-hopping clutch for better riding fun. Power-wise the 313cc thumper retains its 34Hp and 21 lb-ft of torque figure, meaning it's still a fun thing to ride on. Other features include ride-by-wire throttle, ABS, and adjustable brake and clutch levers. Like most of the motorcycles we feature in this segment, this bike's engine is way over our displacement limit. But, much like every other bike we feature, this one is available in India for only Rs 2.85 lakh. Oh, joy.
