Brixton Crossfire 500 Storr Unveiled
Brixton, the Austrian bikemaker, has finally unveiled its upcoming adventure tourer in India.

Hero has unveiled a special edition of the Hero Vida VX2, the Hero Splendor Plus and the Hero Passion Plus. The special editions of the 3 models have been unveiled to celebrate the 125 million production milestone. Here’s a closer look at the special edition Splendor Plus.
