New Bike Launches in India

BMW Motorrad recalls the S1000RR worldwide

December 28, 2012 by Bike India Team Leave a Comment

Since its launch the BMW S1000RR has ushered in a revolution in terms of both technology and sales for the Bavarian giant.

However, BMW Motorrad is now recalling S1000RR motorcycles from both the 2012 and 2013 model years due to side-stand problems. Although the scale of recall is initially only in the US market, sources have revealed that the recall could be on a global scale in coming months. In a document filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, USA, BMW Motorrad stated that the side-stand bolts may loosen due to a manufacturing flaw, and as a result the stand can separate from the motorcycle’s frame.

BMW US has also pointed out that the possibility of injury to a rider or bystanders due to the side-stand of the motorcycle is quite high, and they have stated that the problem affects a total of 2,385 S1000RR bikes built from September 2011 through December 2012. As per the recall BMW dealers will clean the side-stand mounting plate threads and replace the side-stand mounting plate bolts, free of cost. The recall is expected to begin next month in the US of A, while recall is stated to take place in the other global markets very soon. Owners may contact BMW Motorrad at CustomerRelations@bmwusa.com.

Bajaj plan to launch the bike on the 7th of January 2013.It is unclear though whether this new offering will belong to the Discover or Boxer sub-brands.

Speaking to the media, Bajaj Auto President K Srinivas said, “It will be the most expensive 100-cc bike ever launched and will be the most advanced technologically.” Information regarding the price and technical specifications of this new 100-cc offering are under wraps as of now. Srinivas further said, “Customers in the segment have had to compromise with boring bikes and boring features for the sake of mileage for too long. Bajaj Auto want to offer exciting bikes with exciting features along with good mileage. Customers have started moving towards 125-cc bikes as they offer a lot more features. The new bike, however, will be a mass product.”

Yamaha to launch a 250cc motorcycle in 2014

December 13, 2012 by Bike India Team 1 Comment

After years of rabid speculation, India Yamaha Motor have finally confirmed that they’re planning to launch a 250cc motorcycle in the Indian market in 2014.

In an interview with Financial Chronicle, Hiroyuki Suzuki, CEO, India Yamaha Motor said, “We will focus on the scooters category for next two years, but in 2014 we will launch powerful sporty 250cc bike in the Indian market. There is a good market for this premium segment which we would like to tap.”

India has become an important market for Yamaha with the company also now focusing attention to the scooter segment. Yamaha will not introduce any new motorcycles for the next two years, but will keep updating their existing models. The Japanese marquee will also launch a scooter series for different target segments in the country. Mr. Suzuki also added,“The motorcycles manufactured in India meet the advanced specification of developed markets and they are produced at a lower cost. The price is almost double in Japanese market. We are sending R15 to Japan to test market, and if the response is good, we may explore more products for export to Japan and other advanced markets.”

At present the 250cc category has seen a duopoly of the Honda CBR 250R and the Kawasaki Ninja 250 in the Indian market. But with the growing importance of performance biking in the country, players like Hero MotoCorp – ERB tie-up, Bajaj and TVS-BMW technical partnership, manufacturers are taking a long hard look at the 250s in the country, and the future surely sees a lot many new players in this exciting segment.

Update: Bike India’s Art Director, Ramnath Chodankar, has created a rendering of how the forthcoming YZF-R25 might look like. For the complete breakdown of the motorcycle’s design, pick up the December 2012 issue of Bike India.
