Royal Enfield Classic 350 BS6 with single-channel ABS launched:
Royal Enfield launched the more affordable version of the Classic 350 BS6 in the country.

Suzuki Gixxer, Gixxer SF BS6 launched:
After unveiling them at the Auto Expo 2020, Suzuki finally launched the BS6-compliant versions of its most popular motorcycle, the 155cc Gixxer and the Gixxer SF. Sadly, it carries a huge premium over the BS4 model and lags behind in terms of power and torque too. It doesn’t come with any new features either.
