Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. (HMSI), has released its new refreshed look for its Aviator scooter and CBF Stunner 125-cc bike.

The Aviator will now be available in Berry Purple and Sunbeam White, in addition to the three existing colours – Rebel Red Metallic, Pearl Igneous Black and Monsoon Grey Metallic. The scooter will be available in two variants viz. ‘Standard’ with drum brakes and ‘Deluxe’ equipped with front disc brakes, with no changes in price.

 

The CBF Stunner would now be available with new black, white and grey graphics along with the logo on the front cowl. The 125cc machine now comes in two new colours – Candy Palm Green and Black; which are in addition to the two existing shades – Sports Red and Pearl Sports Yellow. Thankfully, no changes in price here either.

 

After creating a buzz in the 150-cc commuter segment with their Discover range, Bajaj Auto recently launched Boxer 150 in the country.

Delivering 12 PS power and 12.26 Nm torque from its single cylinder, four-stroke, air-cooled engine, the bike caters majorly to the semi-urban areas. Coming with a rugged frame, twin 125 mm telescopic suspension and 190 mm ground clearance, it promises to fare equally good on poorly constructed roads as on smooth tarmac. The Boxer comes with 130 mm drum brakes (both front and rear) and stands light weight at 123 kg. The new Boxer has been priced at Rs 48,197 (OTR,Pune).

Yamaha’s performance bike YZF R15 is ready for launch this September in a all-new look.

According to a scanned invite on Facebook fan page of the YZF R15, the bike will be launched in New Delhi this September. That’s great news for all waiting for the bike with bated breath. We had reported about the revamped bike in January this year and will be getting you all the dope about the 2.0 version straight from the launch.

Watch this space.

The 150-cc bike in for a minor makeover

With news of Bajaj’s new work-horse, the ‘Bharat Bike’, and a revamped Yamaha YZF R15 making their way into the country, the 150-cc segment is becoming one of the most diverse and rapidly growing segments in India. In keeping with the trend of the times, Suzuki are planning to upgrade the GS150R, which was introduced in 2008. A quick nip and tuck and the Japanese company will launch this 150-cc bike with a facelift by October 2011.

According to the pictures posted by a Suzuki fan on Facebook, the new version of the bike will sport new body colours and graphics as well as a new exhaust system. We hope the new GS150R will carry the same price tag of Rs Rs 68,695 (OTR, Pune).

Now Bajaj gives its flagship bike a superficial upgrade

Looks like Bajaj is following the current trend to offer the same models with newer body-colour and graphics. A new lot of Pulsar 220s have hit the Bajaj showrooms sporting dual colour schemes and unfortunately with no changes in the engine specifications. All is not lost, as the new lot seems to be an attempt to make room in the Bajaj warehouse for the all-new Pulsar that the Indian firm has developed with its Austrian partner, KTM and is sheduled for a pan India launch in a couple of months.

We can wait to get our hands on the all-new Pulsar… till then feast your eyes on the latest colours of the current model. And before you say anything negative, check out Pulsar fan page on Facebook, where in just 20 minutes these pictures received over 500 likes!
