Our Partners

xBhp was born more than 16 years ago and since then we've had a chance to ride or drive hundreds of machines running on two wheels or four wheels, and sometimes even three wheels. We are not done yet, and this list is still growing. In these pages, we take a deep dive in the treasure trove of our ride experiences and bring you all that we have ridden or driven.

Here on this page, you'll find some moments, in video format, that we've spent with some of these beautiful machines.

The First Superbike: Honda CB 750
In 1968, Honda showcased a standard motorcycle at the Tokyo Motor Show with an air-cooled inline 4 750cc engine, round headlamp, a high handlebar, a flat seat and a disc brake at the front. Honda named it CB750. It was eventually launched in 1969 and became the first production motorcycle in the world to feature a disc brake. And even though the CB750 wasn’t the first production motorcycle to hashow more
ve an inline 4 engine, it was the first to popularize it and made it the most commonly used engine configuration for the sportbikes of the future. The CB750 was a groundbreaking motorcycle and its acceleration was unmatched by any other production motorcycle with a top speed going over 190 km/h. The combination of a performance-oriented inline 4 engine and the added safety of the front disc brake meant that the CB750 closely resembled Honda’s GP racing motorcycles of that time. The motorcycle became an instant hit and it overwhelmed Honda with exceedingly high demand. The biggest impact of the CB750 is in the fact that it was the first motorcycle to be called a “Superbike”.

The Mad Machine: Indian FTR 1200S review
If it is not crazy enough for one of the oldest motorcycle cruiser brands in the world to launch a race-bred machine for the street, then it sure is crazy to note how much fun you can have on one! Daily! As an urban commuter, as a capable offroader. It is fantastic in the curves, crazy good for wheelies! And it looks so smart! Packed with 120 BHP of power and decent loads of tech this can be ashow more
very capable all-rounder! We rode the Indian FTR 1200S in Los Angeles ahead of its India launch! And then, we also had it in our garage immediately after its launch in India. Here is the story! You can also read our review on xBhp, here.show less
KTM DUKE 790 IN THE DESERT! HOW GOOD IS IT?
We rode the #KTMDuke790 in #Dubai early last year, with a topping of Super Duke 1290 R. The Duke 790 was bought in limited numbers in India and it is rather difficult to find one off the showroom as of June 2020. "Overall, the KTM 790 Duke is a fantastic package and despite some stark differences from the rest of the Duke lineup, it is still everything a Duke should be. It’s powerful, nimble,show more

Yamaha RX100 : The Pocket Rocket
[SHOT IN 2016] Certain things and places in our lives have great sentimental value and perhaps, for this reason, we willingly fail to part with them. We hold on to them and the memories because they are too strong and keep us connected to our roots. And in some way, they have played an important role in shaping our individual nature as a human being. And if you’ve ever wondered, this is precisshow more
ely the reason why you would find some of us still holding on to our RX 100s after all these years. Even among all the modern and faster motorcycles of today, there are people who have kept the performance king of yesteryears. It is because like with many other things, it is nostalgic and the memories are just too sweet and strong to let it go. Shot during #100Motorcycles!

[SHOT IN 2016] "As we continue to move towards the future, a small part in the history of motorcycle making will always be occupied by the Tornado Tre 1130 by Benelli. A bike like this does not need to be ‘reviewed’, it needs to be used to pamper your ego, your soul and drive your rider friends into a fit of jealously until they match the green paint of this bike. No matter what they have, show more
it will outdo any superbike available today in terms of exclusivity and design. Any bike!"  show less
