Pitstop Beauties

February 3, 2012 by Bike India Team Leave a Comment

Pune’s most happening educational hub (Symbiosis Centre for Management Studies (Under Graduate)) is back with with bang this year with its bustling college fest -‘Sympulse’

Following in its foot steps, the college as it did last year, held an event titled ‘Pit Stop’. As the name suggests, the campus’s outdoor parking lot was a stop over for some of the fastest and most expensive bikes and cars Pune has to offer.

The event started off with car show, displaying the world’s finest and most sought after supercars and included a few classics. Students and onlookers were in for a treat with the Rolls Royce Silver Cloud, Bentley MK VI, Porsche Boxster, Ferrari F430, Audi RS5, Mercedes SLS AMG, Mercedes C63 AMG, Mercedes SL 500, Mercedes E350 Cabriolet, Aston Martin Vantage, Jaguar XJL, BMW 650i, BMW 645i and the historical London cab. Everyone watched in awe as each car turned the key to enthrall the crowd with the heart soothing sound that makes heads turn.

After gawking at these beauties for an hour, our eyes and ears turned to take a look at the ground shaking two wheeled marvels coming out of the garage and onto the courtyard. As the crowd surrounding the bikes grew larger, each owner who brought his/her love on two wheels started to talk about their bike and regaled the crowd with the screams of each ones engine. The bike that came for this year’s show and tell were the Indian Chief, BMW R60, BSA shooting star, BSA Golden Flash, Norton Dominator, Ducati 848, Ducati Monster, Suzuki GSX 1000R, Aprilia RSV4 and the BMW R1200GS.

Pit stop by Sympulse was definitely an evening that make you walk away with a smile on your face and longings in your heart to one day own one of these beauties. But the main message throughout the show was ‘ATG ATT’ which translates to ‘All the Gear, All the Time’. Safety first people.

BIKE India is proud to be an associate sponsor of this fest and contribute its part in fostering education and love of automobiles amongst the emerging youth of our country. and More information can be had from the Sympulse website at www.sympulsefest.com.

February 2, 2012 by Bike India Team Leave a Comment

dio scooterClose to a decade after the original launch of the light-weight Dio, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) has given the automatic scooter a much needed upgrade.

And thankfully, the scooter gets a thorough revision, with a bigger and more powerful 109-cc motor, which has been borrowed from the new Activa, and produces 8.11PS of power @ 7,500rpm and 8.66Nm of torque @ 5,500rpm. Honda claims that this will improve fuel efficiency by 15 per cent, the fiber bodied scooter will now return 55 kpl.

The re-styled 2012 Dio looks chunkier and more sporty with the new aerodynamic design. This is the first gearless scooter in India to sports tubeless tyres and in combination of Honda’s ‘Combi Brake System’ which would improves stability and braking. Other new features include a maintenance-free battery, viscous air filter, 3D emblem and enhanced luggage space under the seat. All this for an attractive price of Rs. 42,362 ex-showroom New Delhi. The new Dio will be available at Honda showrooms from the last week of this month and will be offered in five new colours – Sports Red, Matt Axis Grey Metallic, Pearl Sunbeam White, Candy Palm Green and Leblon Violet Metallic.

Speaking about the launch N.K. Rattan, Vice President – Sales, Marketing & Corporate Affairs, HMSI said, “The increased convenience and comfortable riding position of New Dio will appeal to both style conscious young males and females.”

UPDATED – 2012 Bajaj Pulsar – LAUNCHED!

January 30, 2012 by Bike India Team Leave a Comment

Pulsar 200 - 2012Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to the new Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS!

Exactly ten years ago to this very day, Bajaj Auto Ltd. took the country by storm with the launch of the Pulsar brand. Ever since then, the Pulsar has ruled the premium motorcycling segment in the country, with yearly cosmetic and visual upgrades doing their part to keep it abreast of the competition. And now, the all-new Bajaj Pulsar 200NS Naked Sports (NS) has finally been unveiled, ready to take on all comers.

The first visual impressions convey a more muscular and grown up bike, albeit one that retains characteristic Pulsar styling cues that are discernible at even a glance. A large twin-spar frame dominates the side profile view, while the beefier tank and side panels give a new dimension to the Pulsar. Upfront, the suspension seems to be much beefier than before, shod with larger 100/80-17 tubeless rubber while the rear features a meaty 130/70-17 tyre, also tubeless. The headlight unit is a completely new interpretation of the Pulsar unit and we absolutely adore its Transformers-like angry face. Expect the Pulsar 200 NS to be priced below Rs 1 lakh!

Echoing what we have seen in numerous spy shots earlier, the rear panels are borrowed from the Pulsar 135LS, but the big news is the welcome inclusion of a monoshock rear suspension – Bajaj’s first. Powering the new Pulsar is a four valve, liquid cooled, triple spark motor. Good enough for 23.52 PS@9,500rpm and a peak torque figure of 18.3Nm@8,000rpm. That, coupled with the kerb weight of 145kg and the six-speed ‘box, gives the Pulsar 200NS a theoretical top speed of 136 kph, 0-60kph in 3.61sec and 0-100 kph in 9.83 seconds. Tell-tale lights and indicators remain the same while the exhaust has now been moved to under the bike, which should help in mass centralisation and lend the bike a low centre of gravity.

More information coming soon…. Stay glued to your computers and smartphones.

2012 Bajaj Pulsar

January 27, 2012 by Bike India Team Leave a Comment

pulsar 2012The wait is over… The mania begins again as Bajaj readies to launch the new range of Pulsars this Monday, January 30th 2012

Bajaj is also timing the launch of the new Pulsar series in a way that it commemorates the Pulsar brand’s 10 years of existence. The new range of bikes are based on the same platform as the KTM Duke and also retains the popular DTS-i twin spark system. The bikes will now be lighter and faster than before, so remember ‘Safety First’. The front braking unit will probably be provided by Bybre, the same employed on the KTM 200 Duke. Carrying the sporty, street-bike DNA will be two-step seat, underbelly exhaust similar to the KTM and new alloy wheels designed to keep the weight low for better performance.

Price and other details will be revealed during the launch on Monday. Till then, watch this space.
