Staying relevant in the 21st century is getting increasingly tough with social media making people’s attention spans shorter than ever. While there are multiple models that topped the sales charts during their heydays, sustaining sales numbers and remaining relevant is the bigger challenge with changing times. We have curated a list of two-wheeler nameplates that have stood the test of time and remained in continuous production for over 20 years. There are a few nameplates that were earlier discontinued but later made a comeback, such as the Chetak and Karizma, however those do not make the cut owing to their brief discontinuation. 2006 Launches from 2006 complete two decades this year and are the most recent entrants on this list. Bajaj Platina Despite being in production for over 20 years, the Bajaj Platina is the newest model on this list. It was launched in April 2006 at an introductory ex-showroom price of around Rs 35,000. Shortly after its launch, the hardy Platina crossed cum...

Ferrari has finally pulled the covers off its debut all-electric offering, the Luce. Touted as "unconventional" and "disruptive," the Luce is wholly dissimilar to the rest of Ferrari’s line-up, whether it be in terms of design ideology or what’s under the skin. Below, we’ve laid out all the key details you need to know about the Ferrari Luce . What are the exterior design highlights of the Ferrari Luce? Widely regarded the most controversial aspect of the Luce, its styling is unlike any Ferrari ever made, and that’s because the EV was designed by LoveFrom, a California-based firm co-founded by ex-Apple designer Jony Ive.

Up front, the Luce sports a recessed pass-through section that houses the LED headlamps and is generously lined with gloss black trim. Below that, there’s a wide opening with air curtains, and a subtle gloss black ...

The BSA Scrambler 650 is based on the Goldstar 650 platform with some notable changes. The bike now gets an 18-inch front wheel compared to the 18-inch unit on the Goldstar. Additionally, Classic Legends states that the main chassis has been altered, but it did not specify how so. We were also told that there is a longer swingarm. Considering this is a Scrambler, suspension travel has gone up by around 20mm at both ends. This has resulted in the seat height increasing to 820mm, compared to 783mm on the Goldstar. BSA Scrambler 650: Acceleration  Acceleration BSA Scrambler 650 0-60kph 2.78s  0-80kph 4.28s  0-100kph 6.31s  The engine in the BSA Scrambler 650 has a torquey nature and the bike pulls with gusto from as low as 3,000rpm. In our tests, it took 2.78 seconds to get to 60kph, 4.28 seconds to get to 80kph, and 6.31 seconds to get to 100kph. This is a bike that prefers being ridden at a sedate pace and while you can rev it out, there are plenty of vibrations to...
