The Bajaj Freedom is the Bike of the Year across segments. People really overlook the development and technology barriers that this bike has broken. Without any major reference points across the globe Bajaj has developed something ground breaking. Same cannot be said about the EVs.
Thanks a ton to a road test and review of Yamaha RXZ 5 speed published in June 2001 issue of the Autocar India magazine, I was able to choose my first bike. If I had not been the regular reader of Autocar India back then, I wouldn’t have been aware of the launch of this powerful piece of 2 stroke gem by Yamaha India back then. It’s been over 23 years, Yam is still with me and doing what its best at -deliver power in the most reliable manner only Yam 2 stroke could. That said, far from easy to maintain these machines with each passing year. Once again, thanks to Autocar India🙏🏾
Easily the RS457 by Aprilia! A masterpiece in sheep's clothing. NS400 is amazing as well but the Xtreme 125R is just as important. Amazing launches in 2024. Iconic!
It should be Pulsar NS400z or Triumph Bikes... The quality,the performance,the value they are providing is just impeccable by others to do ! Triumph is the winner for 😊 sure Followed by Bajaj Pulsar 400z
RS457 is the winner for sure. Making this guess without seeing the full video and comments. Don't think any other bike can come close to what it offers.

❤ 1: Freedom 125 for innovation 2: Xtreme 125R is best 125 in terms of looks and gives big bike feel 3:Maverick relaxed, calm, sweet , big bike 4. Ns400 extremely value for money 5:T4 triumph
One between Xtreme 125, rs 457 or freedom will be the boty. Have seen this movie before. Going out on a limb it will be the rs 457 or freedom. The rest are just here to make up the numbers.
I always wonder why such huge manufacturers are not able to recruit these reviewers or the racers to judge their products before releasing them into the market 😮!! It actually saves a lot of resources!!
Which one is the better guerilla or 390 duke? I travel 15km daily, weekends rides in ghats and around 500km per day touring aswell. FYI I do like cornering and going hard at them in ghats
390 is way better, I own the new gen, engine is way better on the 390 and quality seems better as well, do test ride both you'll instantly realise what you want

Xtreme 125r for introducing safety and good dynamics in lower cc category.
My top 3 pick as below
3) Trumph Speed T4
2) Hero Xtreme 125R
1) Apprilia RS 457
Rs 457 will be my choice just because of the engine
My choice will be Hero Xtreme 125
Aprilia has to be the BOTY 2025. You have to give it to them. They have treated Indians well. It has made a statement

BSA goldstar being in the group makes it feel like a WW1 veteran meeting the new generation lol
It should be Pulsar NS400z or Triumph Bikes...
The quality,the performance,the value they are providing is just impeccable by others to do !
Triumph is the winner for 😊 sure
Followed by Bajaj Pulsar 400z
I think it is the Hero Extreme 125 that will win the BOY award, though Freedom is more revolutionary.
What was your take on the Husqvarna they are contenders but sadly you did not cover them
they are bad, not even close to the competition
How can you pick a winner with such a huge diversity & sizes of these bikes 🥴, I think this was the best lineup I've ever seen
2025 bike of the year award goes to : Bajaj pulsar ns 400 z , Hero Xtreme 125 r , Bajaj freedom 125 . Aprila Rs 457 and Hero mavrik 440.
Ns400 is best bike in it's price and and most value for money bike in india ❤😊
Bike of the year, Royal Enfield Guerrilla
Xtreme 125 is the most practical but affordable with standard safety measures bike of the year for me.
RS457 is the winner for sure. Making this guess without seeing the full video and comments. Don't think any other bike can come close to what it offers.
The shotgun 650 is mentioned in the contenders but missing in the detailed review. Why?
Yes Hero Xtreme 125r is 🏆 winner in segment
Even though I am a superbike rider but my heart still goes to xtreme 125r because of introducing safety specs and the tremendously good chasis.
Bajaj freedom 125 it's revolutionary product & mg Windsor for same a whole new model of owning EV
Bajaj Freedom 125🎉🎉

You guys forgot to review pulser 400z and shotgun 650
So many strong contenders, it will be very difficult and very close this year. 🤞
Aprilia RS 457 Obviously. Italians came and conquered Indian market. They researched and executed!

Rs457 or Gold star 650
Guerrilla, Xtreme 125, rs457
For me freedom 125, ns400z, bsa goldstar 650 was most interesting
Why TVS Ronin not included ?
Bsa is the only bike I might want to buy from the list of bike.
Xtreme 125R will be winner ❤️🎉
Rs 457 and bsa 650 are true gems ❤️
Royal Enfield Guerrilla going to be a bike of the year.......,
I know it'll either be the ns400z, xtreme 125r or the rs457. Most likely the ns400z.
CB 350RS from Honda ❤
Shotgun 650 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Honda Highness !! ❤✌️
One between Xtreme 125, rs 457 or freedom will be the boty. Have seen this movie before. Going out on a limb it will be the rs 457 or freedom. The rest are just here to make up the numbers.
This year Aprilia, next year Tuono 457.
I always wonder why such huge manufacturers are not able to recruit these reviewers or the racers to judge their products before releasing them into the market 😮!!
It actually saves a lot of resources!!
Guerrilla450 because this marks RE venturing into a new segment and directly targeting the likes of KTM

Aprillia Rs 457 will be the winner
This should be a tie bw hero xtreme 125r and the freedom 125.
I was hoping to see the Husqvarnas on the list

Happy to see my bike on this list
Where is speed 400 or scram 400x. Such gem of machines😢
Guerrilla 450🔥

Rs 457 crazy machine 🔥🔥🔥
Xtreme 125R
1. Bajaj Pulsar NS 400 Z
2. Triumph Speed T400
3. Bajaj Freedom 125
I think Speed T4 will be the winner
RS 457 or truimph speed 400 are the winners this year
Which one is the better guerilla or 390 duke? I travel 15km daily, weekends rides in ghats and around 500km per day touring aswell.
FYI I do like cornering and going hard at them in ghats
390 is way better, I own the new gen, engine is way better on the 390 and quality seems better as well, do test ride both you'll instantly realise what you want
Aprilia rs457 ❤ but it's unavailable in my location 😢.
Xtreme 125r and ns400z no others
Where is Rishad?
