Year in review - my favorite bikes from 2024!

Some bikes, big and small that left a huge impression on me after riding them. 1. Triumph Street triple 765RS - The perfect naked bike. Nothing for me to say beyond that. 2. Suzuki Vstrom 800DE - A supremely capable adventure bike thanks to an excellent chassis and suspension setup. Wish it came with tubeless spokes though. 3. Aprilia RS457 - Absolute gem of an engine packaged into a great sportsbike, not very comfortable but really fun. A benchmark for all manufacturers, domestic and abroad. Aprilia couldn't have done better for their first attempt at making in India. 4. Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 - Criminally overlooked in favor of friendlier bikes like the Triumph 400s. The engine, frame and suspension come together to make a very nice bike on and offroad. Even though it's lacking a 19inch front wheel and it's quite a small bike I was amazed by how capable this tiny thumper is, it's getting tubeless spokes next year so that solves the usability issue but the area of improvement I want to see is from KTM, absolutely pathetic customer experience, had to travel to 4 different showrooms to even see this bike, let alone test ride it.
