India's new fastest bike is...

Some thought it will be the new Ninja 250R from Bajaj. Some say its a revised Pulsar 200 and some say its a Pulsar 220 without fuel injection. We have ridden it, tested it and played with it.
What ever it is, Bajaj claims it to be India's NEW fastest bike. Is that true? Is it shattering value for money?

Royal Enfield Bullet Classic C5 heads to USA

It is made in India and exported around the world. A bike that costs around Rs 1,20,000 (or around USD 2600) sells for almost the double the amount. Yes, bikers around the world seem to love it and that is the reason why Royal Enfield is all set to launch the Bullet Classic C5 in the US market for around US $ 6350. The company will also sell another variant, the Bullet G5 for around US $ 5995.

Honda XRE300 details : replaces XR250

We told you about the new 300cc CB300R that Honda has launched to replace the 250cc Twister in Brazil HERE. Going a step further, Honda is also aiming at replacing the 250cc Enduro bike, the XR250 Tornado with this XRE 300 bike soon.

The XRE 300 will use the same engine as the CB300R which means the 292cc engine developing around 26.5 bhp will made good use of. Such small capacity Enduro bikes make a lot of sense in countries like Brazil, and ofcourse, we would love to have it here in India as well!

Honda CB300R : Coming to India?

Honda has recently replaced the 250cc Twister with a new 300cc model called the CB300R. The launch in Brazil took place a few days back and is already a hot topic on various forums across India. The point is, will HMSI (Honda Motorcycle Scooter India Ltd) go ahead and get the bike here too?
Honda currently sells both scooters and bikes (along with superbikes) in India but the largest capacity bike made locally is the 150cc Unicorn. The CB300R surely fits the bill for India :
- Single cylinder
- 292cc
- 26.5 bhp
- 27.5 Nm of torque

It looks like a scaled down CB1000R too. If HMSI makes this bike locally with a few imported components, they can still price it around the Rs 1 to 1.2 lakh mark, which needless to say, makes it a fantastic buy for India!
