India Bike Week 2025 returned to Panchgani (Maharashtra) this year, bringing together motorcycling enthusiasts from across the country for a celebration of riding culture, performance, and community. Adding to the excitement, Gulf Oil, in partnership with Trackhouse MotoGP Team, showcased a MotoGP race bike at the festival, marking the first time a MotoGP machine has been displayed in India and offering fans a rare, up-close glimpse of the pinnacle of motorcycle racing.
