Royal Enfield Bear 650 Unveiled

2025 Triumph Tiger 1200 Range Launched
Triumph has launched the Tiger 1200 range in India that includes our bikes: Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Pro, Tiger 1200 GT Explorer, Tiger 1200 Rally Pro and Tiger 1200 Rally Explorer. All these bikes are equipped with a 1,160cc, inline-three, liquid-cooled engine making 150PS and 130Nm. Triumph says the engine is more refined than before. The bikes are now more comfortable, have better cornering ground clearance, reduced seat height, adjustable lowering suspension and new colours too.
Upcoming Hero Xtreme 210R: Design Patent Leaked
A new design patent from Hero MotoCorp was leaked online. The design of the bike looked similar to the Xtreme 160R and it looked like a bigger version of the naked bike. There were rumours of this bike having a 250cc engine, but we think otherwise. It is likely to be a naked version of the Hero Karizma XMR carrying the same 210cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine. Here’s why we think so.
Suzuki Hayabusa Recalled in India
Suzuki Motorcycles India has issued a recall campaign for their most popular superbike, the Hayabusa. The Dhoom bike has been recalled over a braking issue and the company says that over 1,056 units could be affected across India.
Royal Enfield Classic 650 What We Know So Far?
The upcoming Royal Enfield Classic 650 has been spied on during its test multiple times now. The 650cc Classic comes with a similar design as the smaller Classic 350 but differentiates itself with a few design tweaks, dual pea-shooter exhausts and a bigger engine. The bike will also get a range of different colour schemes and is expected to launch in India very soon.
