yeah!.. I wanted the SX4 to win, but i guess it must’ve lost at fuel efficiency.
The Logan should’ve won!! It scores everywer!!
I think they should know that the best bike really should have been either yamaha r15 or fz-16 as these two bikes give us a glimpse of the future. But as usual in India. Quality is ignored. I think we should try and change our mentality of “sasta hai toh accha hai” and respect innovations. I think these awards were judged by a bunch of miser fools…..
