December and Goa can mean only one thing - India Bike Week! 2023 saw the 10th anniversary of the IBW which is considered as one of the biggest biking festivals of Asia. I remember the last time I visited the IBW was in 2014 and it was an amazing experience witnessing the sheer passion for motorcycles and meeting like-minded individuals. This time around, the whole experience was 10x of everything! There was so much happening every minute from manufacturers showcasing their bikes, launches, endurance racing, motorsports, freestyle motocross bike stunts, biking gear on sale, amazing food, live music, and much more.

Do check out our previous reports of the India Bike Week 2015 and 2016.



Massive gate welcomed thousands of bikers and enthusiasts:


10 years and going strong!


Box office is where you had to get your registrations done:


The crowd kept pouring in all day long:


A very helpful map of the layout for people to find their way:


The scale of the event was quite impressive albeit my reference point was from over 9 years ago:




This was the main stage where most of the important events were taking place:


Behind the main stage was the Ladakh Tent where meets and greets with important people from the motorcycling community were arranged:


This was also where the media was briefed about the event and what to expect:


Martin da Costa (gentleman standing on the table), is the founder and CEO, 70EMG. He's the one who started India Bike Week in 2013 and wears the lucky T-shirt from the first edition every year . Here's a picture of him with all the sponsors of this year:

A Maruti Jimny was bringing in rider groups:


The biker parade had a massive number of Harleys:


Women proudly rolling in on their Harley-Davidsons:




A lady riding the new Harley-Davidson X440:


Lots of lights on this Harley:


Two very different approaches towards helmets - one purely functional and one purely aesthetic:


A quintessential Harley owner look:


Crazy mod job on this Harley:


From the gym directly to the biking festival!


Gliding in from Delhi:

Solo rider with his Royal Enfield Himalayan:


Small capacity 2-stroke bikers were just as enthusiastic:


Revving their engines hard, these bikes were no less than superbikes on decibel levels:


This biker group had come from Tamil Nadu:


Ducati owners followed next with their Multistradas:


More bikes rolling in:


Many more Multistradas:

Here's a video of the biker parade. There's a lot that has already been said about the excessive revving of bikes, but IMO, to each his own. It's a biker festival end of the day. It is a nuisance on public roads though:

https://youtu.be/6aZEOCI-lAw

[Omkar]

If you missed out on the rider parade, you could always catch some of the bikes in the 'Club Village' area. This is where all the biker clubs parked their prized possessions. Here's the Goa Riding Club:


Amazing Ducatis! Two Diavels and Two Panigales (899 on the left and 959 on the right):


Another Italian (MV Agusta) joined the gang later!


The Royal Enfield group:


Bikers of India group from Kolhapur had a wide range of bikes from a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R to a Yamaha RX100. Mr. Ilario Lavarra managed to photobomb the picture (more on him later):


Lazy Rangers Motorcyclists Confederation is not just a biker club. They also do fundraisers and activities for meaningful social causes:


Royal Enfields from the Mumbai Riders Club:


A well done Benelli TRX:


The Yamaha 2-strokes attracted quite a bit of attention:


Couple of litre class bikes from BMW:


The giants from Suzuki! I managed to see all the generations of the Hayabusa at the IBW:


You could also spot some bikes in the holding area. Here's another Panigale and a BMW:


Here's a BMW S1000 RR and a modified Royal Enfield rocking it in yellow and black:


Couple of Harley-Davidsons. The Heritage Special on the right looks immaculate:

[Omkar]

Another major attraction was the manufacturers who were showcasing their line-up of bikes.

Harley-Davidson

Since Harley-Davidson has been the prime sponsor for India Bike Week from the first iteration itself, they had an exclusive stall right at the front, facing the main stage:


There was a seating area upstairs for Harley owners:


Up front was Harley-Davidson India's most important launch of this year, the X440:


This yellow shade on the Denim variant looks really good in person:


IMO, the exhaust looks too boring. They could've done something interesting here:


This 440cc, single-cylinder, oil-cooled engine puts out 27 BHP and 38 Nm torque:


Inside, you had the Fat Bob (left) and the Nightster Special (right):


The Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine in the Fat Bob puts out 93 BHP and 155 Nm of torque:


Retro tank design on the Nightster Special:


Chunky exhaust looks badass:


On the other side, you had the Heritage Classic (left) and the Fat Boy (right):


Classy 'Heritage' badge up front:


Tank medallion depicting the heritage of the brand:


The Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine makes 94 BHP and 155 Nm:

Last but not least, they had the 2023 Pan America 1250 Special on display:


The adventure tourer looked really good in person:


Unique front end distinguishes the bike from the rest:


Powering the bike is a Revolution Max 1250 engine that makes 150 BHP and 128 Nm of torque:

Aprilia

An important announcement came from Aprilia at IBW 2023. They launched the much-awaited RS 457 at Rs. 4.10 lakh:


A couple of RS 457s leaning into a corner:


There are three colour schemes on offer. This is the Prismatic Dark option:


Here's a look at the Opalescent Light paint scheme...


...and this is the MotoGP-inspired livery called Racing Stripes:


From the front, the bike looks lean and not bulky:


It gets an LED front headlight that's similar to some of the recent Aprilia bikes:


You get a 17-inch sports rim at the front with a 110/70 section tyre. The front has a 320-mm disc clamped by a ByBre four-piston radial calliper. It gets dual-channel ABS with double mapping and the option of front-wheel-only activation:


A high tank and aggressive lines give the bike a mean look. The fork with 41 mm stanchions and 120 mm travel is adjustable in preload:


Exposed underbelly exhaust:


It gets half-handlebars mounted above the steering plate. The tank felt solid and had a very premium finish:


Aero tech from MotoGP bikes making its way to road bikes:


A look at the digital instrument cluster:


The ignition switch on the right:


Buttons for operating the instrument cluster on the left side. It was mentioned that the handlebar controls are backlit:


The liquid-cooled twin-cylinder engine with dual camshaft timing and four valves per cylinder makes 47 BHP. Aprilia claims that the engine block is used as a load-bearing element, a solution borrowed from the RS 660:


A closer look at the seat contours:


Rear gets a monoshock which works on the steel swingarm and is adjustable in preload for 130mm wheel travel. Aprilia badge just behind the monoshock is a nice touch:


Tiny sticker on the tail:


You get a 220 mm disc brake and 150/60 section tyre at the rear:


A look at the small tail-light:


I spent some time around the bike. It surely feels like a premium product at first glance that's brimming with tech and performance. Looks stunning too:

[Omkar]

Triumph had one of the biggest stalls at IBW:


Here's the Tiger 800 XCx:

It is powered by a 177cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine. It produces 12.9 BHP @ 7,500 rpm and 13.2 Nm @ 6,000 rpm:


Very minimalistic and simple instrument cluster:


The switchgear felt ordinary:


Interesting exhaust and alloy wheel design:


This is the Candy Emerald Green paint scheme:


The bike has a retro style and the theme is consistent with the round headlamps and indicators:


It might be a part of the retro styling, but the exposed horn and hanging wires give the bike and unfinished look:

Modified bikes were among the biggest attractions at the IBW. It’s where bikers get to showcase their creativity, engineering, skill and expertise in building something that’s one of a kind. As always, the IBW was host to a ton of modified bikes. Many of them were a part of the biker build-off and mod bike competitions as well.

Harley Davidson had given X440 bikes to select custom bike builders to create their versions that were showcased at the IBW:


Here’s Vijay Singh from Rajputana Customs with his version of the X440 called the Project-X:


These bikes were on display next to the Harley stall:


The X440 custom is barely recognisable as the Project-X. It has got an extended front fork, wide handlebars, has lost a lot of weight, and the fuel tank is inspired by the XR1200:


A monoshock at the rear, custom aluminium swingarm and of course, some knobby tyres:


Next up was the Raptor by TNT Motorcycles which was a café racer approach towards the X440. Naveen from TNT Motorcycles mentioned that the idea was to make the bike look bulky and mean, while keeping it agile and lightweight. The rear seat cowl is a nice touch:


Custom exhaust, swingarm, shock absorber and fat tyres on aluminium alloy wheels:


While the handlebar design is new, the instrument cluster and switchgear have been retained:


To shed body weight, carbon fibre has been used. This finish in green looks nice:


Next up was ‘Raftaar’ by Bombay Custom Works which was a flat tracker custom build:


Since they had to shrink the size of the bike to make it a flat tracker, they had to create a custom frame, fuel tank, handlebars and even a new exhaust:


Bobbee Singh of Old Delhi Motorcycles & Co. considers Harley-Davidson as the ultimate outlaw and hence, his design was a homage to ‘Billy the Kid’ with a sidecar:


Interesting design bits like the gun holster and the custom exhaust:


The sidecar had a nice ‘Billy The Kid’ badge:


Next up was the Bike Build Off competition. 30 builders had sent in their applications and among them, 3 were shortlisted. Each was given a Harley-Davidson X440 to modify. The time cap was 50 days. Here’s a short clip of the top 3 contenders giving info on their builds:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWD6yqHlVOE&t=24s

The competition was won by Ricardo Pereira of Bulleteer Customs for this bike:


Devashish Sharma of Ricochet Motorcycles built this bike:


Aditya Raj of AD Customs built this bike called the Firefly:


Interesting vintage look at the front:


Then there was the Mod Bike Competition which was won by Kunwar Customs who had entered 2 bikes in this competition.

This bike is called ‘Rustam’ and is based on a Classic 500. The brief was to make something impactful and royal:


This is a bobber-style build:


Attention to detail makes the bike look very royal indeed:


This was the second entry from Kunwar Customs called ‘Adam’. Based on a Classic 350, the bike was going to be used daily, but the customer wanted it to look apart from other Royal Enfield bikes:


Dochaki Designs had this built-from-scratch electric motorcycle…


…and this bike is named as ‘Incorrect’ for its quirky look:


AD Customs had their bike ‘Bijli 350’ in the form of an old school bobber:






They also had the ‘Nomad’ which is based on GT 650:


SNS Custom Wheels had this bobber based on the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 called ‘Ekdant’:




Interesting design for the exhaust:


Bulleteer Customs also had this bike called the ‘Shadow 650’ on display. Based on the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, the bike was built with the idea that this is something the Dark Knight would ride:

Dyno Wars

This is where tuners got to check the power that their machines generated:


All the figures of the different bikes were on display:

https://youtu.be/NZ-0kpxc_c8

What’s IBW without some daredevils performing insane stunts on FMX bikes!

https://youtu.be/hfdlaPBV7fk

Some pictures I managed to capture:

[Omkar]

Ceat had created some tracks to test your skills. This was a BYOB - Bring Your Own Bike competition and saw a lot of people participating. This was the Enduro track with multiple obstacles:


Competitors got 1 practice lap and had to complete 2 laps of the circuit which were timed:


Different types of off-road and trail bikes were lined up:


A Ceat Indian Supercross Racing League bike was kept on display here:


The Xpulse was one of the most common bikes in the competition. Here’s one competitor going over the first obstacle:


Next up were these ramps:


Competitors then had to go through the barrels…




…and over some rocks:




Then duck to avoid the hanging tyres:


Go over a mound with tyres:


Followed by wooden logs with tyres. This was a very tricky part where a lot of the riders got stuck:


This was an endurance race and of course, riders got stuck, lost balance and fell off their bikes. But it was great to see them get back up and finish their laps:






Here’s a quick video with some entertaining commentary in the background:

https://youtu.be/jlYyQ-UQqe0

Next up was the Flat Track where you could get your bike sideways:


Some guys practising their skills on the flat track:


Synchronised riding:






Yes, riders were airborne too:


Then there was the Hill Climb challenge:




A competitor getting a good start off the line:


There was a 90-degree left-hander and then the final climb to the finish:


The last part of the hill climb was tricky with plenty of rocks and loose soil:


The helmet that made a lot of people chuckle:


Compilation of some of the runs:

https://youtu.be/XKY52d3D4OM

The Ceat Mud Rush was an oval track with loose soil:


Here’s a round with a couple of competitors:

https://youtu.be/JHB5QTTY2Ww

Lastly, there was an obstacle course where competitors had to collect flags, avoid penalties and climb a ramp:


A video of one of the runs:

https://youtu.be/JglfrZhxz4I

There was also the “Well of Death” which is something you used to see back in the day in circuses:

https://youtu.be/t6BJ6M8jt9o

Maruti Suzuki also had a stall at the IBW showcasing their most important launch this year - the Jimny:


Some camping gear to show the Jimny’s go-anywhere capability:


Ramp with information on the previous generations of the Jimny:


Apart from this, Maruti also had a course mapped around the hill to show Jimny’s capabilities. The public could register for a ride along with a professional driver or even get behind the wheel of the Jimny. The course was designed by D-BHPian Tejas@perioimpl and his team:


The course started with some articulation:


Then after going over some wooden logs…


…there was a side incline ramp on the left…


…and the right:


Then there was a cross hump, like a massive speed breaker. This had to be tackled at an angle and Jimny was more than capable of handling it:


This was followed by some driving over rocks:


We then went on to a natural course which included hill climbs, driving through ditches, etc:


The course ended with coming down the hill with the downhill descent control feature switched on:

[Omkar]

Private collection of Mr. Anil Bhingarde was on display:


The Series 1 Lambretta:


See the cylinder under the seat? It’s a storage compartment for your tools:


The 1968 Honda Benly:


The bike was part of the 21 Gun Salute Concours d'Elegance:


The 1959 BSA Super Rocket:


The 1983 Yamaha RD 350:


The Honda CB 400F Super Sport:


India Bike Week is not just about the bikes, but also about the people and the brotherhood. The organisers made sure that some of the people who’ve uplifted the biking spirit were appreciated on the big stage. Here’s Ilario Lavarra who’s been using his 54-year-old Vespa since 2017 to travel the world. He’s covered over 100 countries on his scooter:


This is the legendary scooter:




He has painted the names of the countries and the trip kilometres on the side:


On the other side, there’s a world map of the route he’s taken. Yes, the scooter has travelled to the Umling La mountain pass in Ladakh, which is claimed to be the world’s highest motorable road:


Here’s Naveed Alam who’s on a journey to ride across all the states in India on his Vespa:


There were multiple other people as well, but unfortunately couldn’t meet all of them as many of the events were happening simultaneously. Here is a BMW bike of a long-distance traveller:




Being restricted to a wheelchair doesn’t mean that the passion is restricted as well. These gentlemen enjoyed the IBW to the fullest on their rides made by NeoMotion:


For the foodies, there were plenty of options to choose from. The highlight for meat lovers was the Big Forkers Meat Fest. This is where you got to see the art of curing, grilling, and barbecuing meats in India, from Goan Chorizo to whole hog roasts by grille masters Alistair Lethorn, Arjun Sikdar, Christopher Fernandes, Delzad Khurshad Avari, Buland Shukla and Charlton Mendes:


Then there was the eat street where you had all the other veg and non-veg food options:


Apart from these, multiple food trucks served different cuisines at different locations across the event:






Tripmachine company was the place to be for coffee lovers:


They had this Royal Enfield with a sidecar setup for making their coffee:




Crazy biker jackets of the North Goa Choppers:


What a surprise to see a Ford Bronco in Goa!




Jasmeet Singh Sahni drove this Bronco from Canada to India in 40 days:


Goa Police maintaining peace at the IBW:


A modified Mahindra Red Bull car:


The perfect spot for a photo:


There were stalls where you could get line drawings of your bike or car:


Some clocks made from disc brakes:


A stall that made custom designs on fuel tanks:


Some charcoal drawings were also on display:


Automotive accessories from Motokraft:


There were multiple IBW Merchandise stalls for people to take back some souvenirs:




Nights were when various artists entertained the crowd with their music. This year’s lineup featured Nucleya, Gully Gang, Disco Kid, Gurbax, Nash, Vipin Mishra Project and others:

I'm a regular at India Bike Week.

Contrary to opinion that this is an event that can be skipped, this is a reason for me to ride to Goa every year. Also, this is my longest and fastest motorcycle ride every year.

I wish that all bike brands come together for this, and launch / showcase their new / upcoming products here. It is the perfect platform.

However, there was one brand which had no business being here, and was getting no attention whatsoever from the crowd - The Jimny!

Anyone who visits, I recommend he / she must have a nice coffee at Trip Machine. You get a proper Irish one too.

I have to mention this, the vibe at IBW was even better in the early days, when Harley-Davidson was doing a lot about this fest. Things have changed, more brands are now a part of IBW, and that's great. Just the vibe, hope it comes back, gets better. I know I will be back to check if it has, next year.

Met Omkar when the event kicked-off, and it brought back fond memories from the past when I visited IBW for the first time, and I was on duty: 'CLICK HERE (Pictures: India Bike Week 2014)'

Onward journey, not for the so called 'BIKERS' who desire to ride on the best of tarmac, only. And crib when the roads show some signs of age or gravel or development construction.
Route: Thane-Panvel-Pune-Satara-Karad-Kolhapur-Nipani-Amboli-Goa


Mandatory picture.


IBW is in December, but it is a sunny affair. Caps / hats are a must.


The highlight for me, at IBW 2023. The Aprilia RS 457. Will be riding it soon.


Me with my favourite coffee, I guess my 3rd or 4th cup during this years event.
The Dirtsack / Shellsack helmet bag has accompanied me to IBW 2 years in a row now. Very convenient to just park your helmet on the bike once at the venue.
Point to note, you can also place a 13" laptop and then place your helmet over it, inside this bag.


Return route, the one which was being pushed hard on social media.
Goa-Sawantwadi-Kharepatan-Anuskura-Malkapur-Karad-Pune-Panvel-Thane.
Road quality better than Amboli? Yes.
But it is slow, and time consuming. Before sunrise, there's dense fog too.
I had to maintain a higher speed to get to my magic average speed number.


I prefer riding solo, carry my own quick snack and go full BRAAP!

Thank you, for the detailed report.

I was part of IBW this year. My first time and it was great to be part of this fest. I was there for both the days, and I must admit the crowd was spectacular. I was part of this group in the second picture, wearing the green T-shirt, BMR (Bangalore Malayali Riders). I presume we were one of the first group of riders to come by. This was on the first day, us entering the arena (close to 40 bikes). Only gripe, could not find me in this pic, I was riding pillion .

Missed meeting TBhp team this time. Hopefully will catch up next time, Omkar.

Completely agree. I love the Jimny, but dear Maruti, please don't gatecrash into a two-wheeler-only event.
My hate for Maruti increased just for this reason, apart from selling us the Jimny in the 4-door version. Or not selling us the 2-door version instead of it being made here.

We should do a TBHP IBW meet next year!
