Mahindra in the fast lane

February 25, 2011 by Bike India Team Leave a Comment

Mahindra Racing
tests its MotoGP bike


As speed

met balance and grace met power, Mahindra became India’s first automotive company

to test its official bike the GP125 in its corporate colors, on a the final day

at the predominantly wet, windy and cold Estoril circuit in Portugal.
The

Indian team was present at the circuit with riders Danny Webb and Marcel

Schrotter along with team principal Mufaddal Choonia.

While

the wet and windy conditions were not very conducive for testing bikes, 19 year

old Webb clocked in a few lap times even as his team mate, struggled to get onto

the track with a heavy downpour. Mahindra’s own Italy based Engines Engineering

have designed their GP125. They ran the bike in its red and silver livery only

for a few laps before switching back to plain black.

With

its popularity and now an Indian team to cheer for, Mahindra could certainly hope

for a loyal fan following in India for its MotoGP team competing in the 125cc

category. Mahindra Racing team will be present for the three day testing at

Jerez, Spain from March 4-6.

Victory on Indian roads!

The US based-bike manufacturing company planning to enter Indian market by next year

Victory Motorcycles, US-based company is looking forward to participate in next year’s Delhi Auto Expo and maybe enter Indian market in second half of next year, depending on the response they get at the Expo. Following the success of Harley Davidson, which sold on an average more than 2 units every three days this calender year, Victory Motorcycles, manufacturing luxury touring bikes, classic-styled motorcycles and inter-state cruisers, is keen on entering the growing motorcycle market here. The company is aiming to introduce models that would be best suitable for Indian riding conditions and roads. Harley managing to get its costs as low as Rs 5.5 lakh for their basic model, Victory Motorcycles will face tough competition as their price range is between Rs 5.68 lakh and Rs 12.73 lakh internationally. With Indian government’s high import duties the price of these bikes will effectively be doubled since they will be imported as CBU’s.  The Indian bike enthusiast will have to wait and watch out for next year’s Auto Expo and hope, that just maybe the import duty rates are relaxed a bit.

Hero and Mahindra both looking to buy Hyosung

Like a perfectly set up deck of Dominoes, a string of the world’s foremost automotive brands has toppled before the Indian juggernaut in the last few years. And now, it seems like the latest two-wheeler manufacturer which is set to join the Indian bandwagon is Hyosung Motors. Bike India has just got hold of some inside-industry news which states that the Hero Group and the newly formed Mahindra 2 Wheelers are in negotiations to take over the Korean brand. Both the Indian conglomerates involved in this deal has got the money needed for such an enormous takeover but not the technology – Hero recently ended its twenty six year long association with Honda – and could benefit greatly if the deal comes through. Hyosung already has a sizable brand recall value in India, courtesy of its Comet 250 streetfighter and Aquila 250 cruiser that Kinetic brought here almost a decade back. More recently, it tied up with Garware Motors to launch the GT650 sportspike and ST7 cruiser in India.

Trust Bike India to keep you posted on further developments in this ongoing deal. For our full review on the GT650 sportsbike, pick up the March 2011 issue of Bike India magazine, on stands now.
