Winged Assault

February 21, 2012 by Bike India Team Leave a Comment

Honda CBR150R coming next month

Fast on the heels of the launch of the Honda CBR 250R, which met with an immensely positive reception, Honda is now gearing up to launch its smaller sibling, the CBR150R in the country. Powered by a liquid-cooled fuel-injected DOHC engine producing 18.3PS of peak power and 12.6Nm of peak torque, the CBR packs a sizeable punch that belies its small package. Disc brakes are standard at both front and rear. Visually, the CBR 150R bears a stark resemblance to its bigger sibling, the CBR 250R tthanaks to its adoption of Honda’s dual layered full body cowling, albeit smaller in every aspect. Apart from the powertrain, the only major difference is the twin tubular frame on the CBR 150R, which endows the bike with excellent rigidity and stablity. Expect the CBR 150R to go on sale for around Rs 1.2 lakh when it goes on sale later next month.

Suzuki Swish 125 Scooter launched

February 16, 2012 by Bike India Team 5 Comments

After the initial announcement at the Auto Expo last month, Suzuki Motocycles India has now launched the Swish 125 automatic scooter in India with a price tag of INR 45,431(ex-showroom Delhi).

Like its name indicates, the Swish 125 features a 125cc four-stroke engine, borrowed from the Access 125 scooter, that produces 8.7PS of maximum power and a peak torque figure of 9 Nm.

Visually, the Swish looks like a younger and sportier scooter, compared to the slightly-dowdy looking Access 125. The graphics and paint scheme also attenuate this youthful image, and should prove popular with the college-going generation. Suzuki is initially doing a soft launch, in select cities, and the full launch is tentatively scheduled around the end of March. The Japanese subsidiary will also be launching the Hayate 115cc motorcycle in April this year.

February 15, 2012 by Bike India Team Leave a Comment

Honda's Tapukara plant ribbon cuttingHonda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) commenced the second phase of production operations at their second two-wheeler production plant in the Tapukara Industrial Area in Rajasthan.

This will help the company to expand its production by another six lakh units per annum, giving it a cumulative production capacity of 28 lakh units per annum. The Japanese automobile major has invested more than Rs 1,000 crore in the second plant and doubled the annual production capacity. The second assembly line is flexible enough to manufacture both scooter and motorcycle models, which includes the Activa, CB Twister and CB Shine, at this plant in addition to the existing Manesar plant.

Honda’s third plant in the vicinity of Bengaluru was announced in 2011 and it is scheduled to become operational in the first half of 2013, with an annual production capacity of 1.2 million units. This capacity expansion plan will increase HMSI’s total annual production capacity to four million units.

Garware Ready With GT250R

February 14, 2012 by Bike India Team Leave a Comment

Hyosung GT250R coming to IndiaIndia’s entry-level performance bike segment is abuzz with new models from different two-wheeler manufacturers.

Kawasaki, Honda and Bajaj have introduced the Ninja, CBR250 and Pulsar 200NS, respectively, to the country’s enthusiasts, who have appreciated the bikes and set the cash registers ringing. It’s Garware Hyosung’s turn now to exploit the surging demand with the GT250R.

The company is expected to launch the 250-cc performance bike in a couple of months, the bookings for which will open in May 2012. The bike will be identical to the GT650R, except for a smaller motor which will churn out 28.89 PS and 22.68 Nm.

The company will leave no stones unturned to make the 250 a success and will also offer tempting finance schemes to woo buyers. A naked version of the bike, called the GT250, will be launched soon thereafter. The biggest challenge for the Korean bike-makers will be to price the GT250R competitively in view of the massive import duties and taxes it attracts. Most of the 200-cc to 250-cc bikes are priced well under Rs 2 lakh, except the Ninja 250R, which costs close to Rs 3 lakh.

The competition is becoming fiercer in this segment and we hope other manufacturers also join the fray.
