Husqvarna Vitpilen 250, Svartpilen 250 launched in India:

Husqvarna has finally launched its most-awaited Vitpilen 250 and Svartpilen 250 in the country. Intriguingly, both bikes bear the same introductory price tag. In fact, the pricing is so staggeringly competitive that it undercuts its Austrian cousin, the KTM 250 Duke by a huge margin!

Honda Unicorn BS6 launched:

On the saner spectrum of the motorcycle segment, Honda has launched the BS6-compliant version of the Unicorn.

Hero Super Splendor BS6 launched:

Hero MotoCorp revealed the BS6-compliant Super Splendor at the 2020 Hero World event last week. And this week, the brand launched the motorcycle at just Rs 6,500 more than the BS4-compliant model. For the added premium, you get a new fuel-injected motor with a 5-speed transmission and even a brand new chassis with improved underpinnings! 

Bajaj Pulsar Dominar 250 launch confirmed:

The Dominar 400 has been Bajaj’s flagship product for quite some time now. In order to give enthusiasts a more affordable step into the company’s flagship sub-brand, Bajaj is finally all set to bring in the most affordable Dominar pretty soon!
