Yamaha has just launched the new FZ-RAVE in India, augmenting it presence in the 150cc premium commuter segment. The MT 15 followed with 13,173 unit sales, but seeing a 1.73% YoY decline. Its MoM performance however, ended more positively with a 12.64% growth from 11,695 units sold in Sept 2025.
      Yamaha R15, a popular and affordable sports bike in India, has seen its sales dive to 7,949 units in the past month. This was a 30.57% YoY and 14.79% MoM de-growth. The Fascino too suffered severe sales decline to 5,361 units whereas there had been 11,329 units sold in Oct 2024 relating to a 52.68% YoY de-growth. MoM sales also ended in the red by 9.97%.

      Royal Enfield Electric Himalayan Spotted Next To ICE Himalayan

      by

      Royal Enfield Electric HimalayanLooking at the hardware, it’s likely that the electric Himalayan will be just as strong an off-roader as the ICE Himalayan
      At the 2025 Motoverse event in Goa, Royal Enfield has introduced multiple new products. The list includes Bullet 650, Meteor 350 Sundowner Orange variant and the Flying Flea S6 electric scrambler bike. Near the Motoverse event venue, an electric Himalayan testbed has also been spotted.
      Royal Enfield Electric Himalayan
      Himalayan electric – Design and features
      A number of features of Himalayan electric are similar to that of the ICE variant. It includes the transparent windscreen, round headlamp and rear-view mirrors and a single-piece seat. The silhouette and riding stance are also shared with the ICE Himalayan in most parts. One can also notice the front rack, even though it has a different shape in comparison to that of the ICE Himalayan.
      [embedded content]
      Electric Himalayan is likely to have an all-LED lighting setup. The headlamp can be seen with integrated LED DRLs. USD forks and wheels carry a golden finish, adding a more dynamic character to the bike. For an elegant and seamless look and feel, the seat cover extends across the faux fuel tank. Riding stance is fairly comfortable with centrally mounted foot pegs and a wide handlebar.
      Royal Enfield Electric Himalayan
      Signature features associated with Royal Enfield’s electric range include the distinctive design used for the battery enclosure. It has fin-type structures that create a fluid design and also work to improve cooling. The battery enclosure has a metallic finish, quite the same as that of the original magnesium metal it is made from. Magnesium offers multiple benefits such as a lightweight profile, durability and enhanced cooling. The cockpit area has a navigation tower display.
      Royal Enfield Electric Himalayan
      Electric Himalayan – Specs, performance, range
      Electric Himalayan is using wheels supplied by SM Pro Platinum, a leading UK-based manufacturer. SM Pro Platinum supplies to various other leading brands such as Honda, Kawasaki, KTM, Husqvarna, Triumph, Yamaha and Suzuki. These wheels are standard wire-spoke wheels, likely to have a tubed setup. Cross-spoke tubeless option is expected to be offered as an accessory.
      Royal Enfield Electric Himalayan
      Tyres used with the electric Himalayan testbed are Bridgestone Battlax AdventureCross – AX41. These are specially designed for adventure motorcycles. Key features include enhanced grip, high off-road traction, excellent durability and 30% higher compound rigidity and strength. At the rear, the electric Himalayan has a monoshock suspension. Braking setup comprises a petal disc at the front and a standard disc brake at the rear.
      Royal Enfield Electric Himalayan
      Talking about performance, the electric Himalayan is expected to be equipped with a mid-mounted motor, sourced from Spain-based Stark Future. Power output could be 74.5 kW (100 hp). Electric Himalayan could be equipped with a 14-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. It could offer a certified range of around 200 to 250 km per charge. Multiple ride modes such as Eco, Tour, Off-road and Rally could be available, along with a variety of electronic rider aids. More

      Royal Enfield Flying Flea S6 Electric Scrambler Made India Debut At Motoverse

      by

      Royal Enfield Flying Flea S6 India DebutRoyal Enfield is one of the oldest motorcycle brands in the world that has run on fossil fuels ever since its inception. This brand purely runs on its timeless appeal, nostalgia and banks heavily on its rich heritage and legacy. However, Royal Enfield is also a tech-forward company and already has its feet in the electric motorcycle segment.
      The company has a dedicated sub brand called Flying Flea for its electric motorcycle operations. Flying Flea started things with FF C6 (C stands for Classic) and now, we get to see the FF S6 (S stands for Scrambler), which has just debuted at the ongoing Motoverse event in Goa. Let’s take a closer look.
      FF S6 India Debut
      Flying Flea S6 Electric Scrambler
      Royal Enfield Flying Flea S6 made its global debut at EICMA 2025 and has just made its India debut at 2025 Motoverse. The company is positioning FF S6 as a Lightweight City+ EV which as the name suggests, is primarily for the city and is capable of some outdoor excursions as well.
      FF S6 India Debut
      It is basically a Scrambler version of FF C6 and gets dedicated equipment and components which makes it worthy of light trails and other rough bits. An exact launch date is not revealed, but it will hit the roads some time in 2026. Where design is concerned, FF S6 has quite a lot of elements to distinguish itself from FF C6.
      FF S6 India Debut
      These include knuckle guards, a headlight cowl, a front beak, USD telescopic front forks instead of girder forks, 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheels with dual-sport tyres, unique LED turn indicators with integrated tail lights similar to Himalayan 450 and single-piece narrow Scrambler seat and more.
      FF S6 India Debut
      What to expect?
      Shared elements with FF C6 include its LED lighting, aluminium main frame, magnesium battery casing, a sophisticated swingarm, a 3.5-inch circular TFT touchscreen powered by Qualcomm, sophisticated switchgear, cruise control, keyless go system and others. On FF S6, suspension travel is higher and so is its ground clearance.
      FF S6 India Debut
      Even functionally, Flying Flea S6 differs quite a bit over the FF C6. The main giveaway is the use of chain drive with S6 as opposed to a belt drive on C6. Flying Flea brand aims to offer a unique and premium ownership experience to buyers. It even gets a Flying Flea Tech Centre with a button on right switchgear.
      FF S6 India Debut
      Other notable elements include a dedicated off-road mode, lean-sensing ABS, comprehensive Ride Modes, Traction Control, voice assist feature and more. Royal Enfield Flying Flea S6 and Flying Flea C6 could be priced at a premium, owing to what they both have to offer. More

      Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Sundowner Orange Launch Price Rs 2.19 Lakh

      by

      Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Sundowner Orange
      At the ongoing Motoverse 2025 event in Goa, Royal Enfield has showcased two new motorcycles. First was Bullet 650 and then we saw the showcase of Flying Flea S6 and the launch of Himalayan 450 Mana Edition. Apart from the new motorcycles, Royal Enfield launched a new colour for its 350cc cruiser. Let’s take a closer look at the just launched Meteor 350 Sundowner Orange.
      Meteor 350 Sundowner Orange
      Sitting at the top of Royal Enfield’s 350cc portfolio, we have Meteor 350. It is designed for long-distance cruising and it now gets a new special edition unveiled at the ongoing Motoverse 2025 event. Called Meteor 350 Sundowner Orange, Royal Enfield has just launched it for a price tag of Rs 2.19 lakh (Ex-sh).
      Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Sundowner Orange
      The base Fireball variant prices start from Rs 1.95 lakh (Ex-sh) after the GST 2.0 revisions and associated price cuts. Above Fireball, we have Stellar, Aurora and Supernova trim levels. The just launched Sundowner Orange is positioned on top-spec Supernova trim level and gets associated equipment.
      Starting with the new colour, it gets a rather nice shade of Orange complemented by some Beige to give it some contrast. This colourway aims to radiate the aura of a lovely evening ride along a beach. Like Aurora and Supernova trims, Sundowner Orange gets a healthy dosage of chrome for the retro appeal.
      Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Sundowner Orange
      Hardware equipment include a tall and transparent windscreen to protect rider from wind blasts, adjustable levers for optimum comfort, a Deluxe Touring Seat for long rides, rear pillion backrest and Royal Enfield’s Tripper screen for Bluetooth and turn-by-turn navigation. There is also a Type-C USB port which makes it future proof.
      Cross-Spoke Wheels
      The most notable element specific to Sundowner Orange is cross-spoke wheels compatible with tubeless tyres. This way, buyers will get the retro appeal of wire-spoke wheels and the reassurance of tubeless tyres. Other features include LED lighting, Sundowner Orange exclusive badges and other elements.
      Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Sundowner Orange
      Royal Enfield Meteor 350 is all about the highway touring and the overall rider’s triangle and comfort quotient matches this ethos. It allows for an upright posture and the handlebar provides a level of comfort that immediate rivals cannot match.
      It continues to be powered by the same 349cc J-Series engine. It is a simple and robust single-cylinder SOHC 2V/cyl air-cooled engine that is capable of generating 20.2 bhp of peak power and 27 Nm of peak torque, mated to a slip and assist clutch along with a 5-speed gearbox. More

      Honda Activa Electric Scooter Production Stopped In India

      by

      New Honda Activa eWhile Honda has introduced practical, well-equipped EVs, their availability in just a few cities could be impacting overall sales potential
      Earlier this year in January, Honda had launched the Activa e: and QC1 electric scooters, priced at Rs 1.17 lakh and Rs 90,000, respectively. Coming from Honda, it was expected that these scooters would emerge as popular options for folks looking for greener alternatives. However, data from the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) reveals that Honda has actually stopped production of these scooters since August 2025. Let’s check out the details.
      Honda Activa e:, QC1 – Low sales to blame?
      After the launch of Activa e: and QC1, production of these scooters was a total of 11,168 units between February and July 2025. SIAM data reveals that only 5,201 units have been dispatched to dealers. That means more than half of the manufactured units are currently lying as unsold inventory. This could be the reason why Honda may have chosen to pause production of the Activa e: and QC1 electric scooters.
      Honda Activa Electric Scooter Sales
      When the scooters were launched, it was felt that Activa e: will be the one generating higher sales volumes. Not only does it have the ‘Activa’ branding, but the scooter also comes with the advanced and user-friendly battery swapping tech. With battery swapping, consumer issues like range anxiety, battery maintenance and battery replacement are completely eliminated.
      Also, one does not have to wait for charging the battery pack. At a battery swapping station, the discharged battery can be replaced with a fully-charged one in just 1-2 minutes. Honda has also been taking steps to boost sales of the Activa e: electric scooter. For example, the battery rental prices were reduced earlier this year in June. It was also reported that Honda was thinking about introducing a home charging dock for the Activa e:.
      Electric 2W Retail Sales Oct 2025 for reference – FADA
      Honda’s electric scooter performance has remained noticeably weak since launch earlier this year, especially when compared to the sharp growth seen across India’s EV two-wheeler market. While brands like TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak and Ather Rizta are posting strong month-on-month gains—helping the overall EV industry grow over 38% in October 2025.
      QC1 sales higher than Activa e:
      Although Activa e: has many benefits, it is the QC1 that has seen higher dispatches to dealers. Of the 5,201 units dispatched to dealers, 4,461 units or 86% were QC1. The rest, only 740 units, were Activa e:. QC1 was offered at a lower price and came with a portable charger. This aligns with current consumer preferences in the electric two-wheeler segment. Most of the leading OEMs in the EV segment, such as Bajaj, TVS, Ather, Ola and Hero MotoCorp, have similar product offerings.
      Battery swapping is definitely advantageous, but it needs a well-developed infrastructure to succeed. As of now, Honda is the only major player to offer battery swapping tech with its Activa e: electric scooter. Limited availability could also be a reason why Honda’s electric scooters may not have delivered desired results. For example, Activa e: is offered only in three cities – Mumbai, Bengaluru and Delhi.
      Honda QC1 is available in six cities (Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune and Chandigarh). This is higher than that of Activa e:, which could be a reason for QC1’s higher sales. However, 3 or 6 cities just cannot compare with the sales potential associated with a pan-India presence. It will be interesting to see how Honda handles this situation. A more aggressive network expansion for its EVs could be on the cards. Honda could also be looking to tweak its product offerings, in line with consumer preferences. More

      Royal Enfield Bullet 650 Makes India Debut At Motoverse 2025

      by

      Royal Enfield Bullet 650The iconic Royal Enfield Bullet has entered a new chapter. One of the world’s longest-running motorcycle nameplates—with a legacy stretching over nine decades—has now taken a significant leap forward. Royal Enfield has unveiled the all-new Bullet 650, marking a bold evolution for a motorcycle that enjoys an unmatched cult following. Making its India debut at Motoverse 2025 in Goa, the Bullet 650 is set to shake up the global retro middleweight segment. Let’s dive into what this new legend brings.
      Royal Enfield Bullet 650 Unveiled
      Since its inception in 1932, the Bullet has been an everlasting symbol of timeless design, simplicity, and rugged dependability. For 93 years, it has captivated generations—transcending age, regions, and riding styles. Now, Royal Enfield has crafted the Bullet 650, preserving its classic soul while infusing modern engineering and refinement.
      [embedded content]
      The motorcycle is powered by RE’s proven 648cc parallel-twin, oil-cooled engine, delivering a strong mid-range and effortless torque. It retains the trademark dual exhausts, offering a refined yet unmistakably Royal Enfield sound.
      Power output stands at 46.5 bhp, while torque is rated at 52.3 Nm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox and slip-and-assist clutch. Like the rest of RE’s 650cc lineup, the Bullet 650 features EFI and electric start, ensuring reliable everyday usability.
      Royal Enfield Bullet 650
      Despite the modern hardware, the Bullet DNA stays intact—Tiger Eye pilot lamps, a single-piece seat, squared-off rear fender, hand-painted pinstripes, chrome accents, classic round lighting elements, and the iconic 3D winged ‘Royal Enfield’ tank badge.
      Royal Enfield Bullet 650
      Retro X Modern
      Under the skin, the Bullet 650 shares much of its architecture with the Classic 650. Suspension duties are handled by 43mm telescopic forks (120mm travel) and twin rear shocks (90mm travel). Braking is managed by a 320mm front and 300mm rear disc, supported by dual-channel ABS.
      The motorcycle rolls on a 19-inch front wheel (100/90 tyre) and 18-inch rear wheel (140/70 tyre), giving it the confident stance expected from a Bullet. In terms of dimensions, the Bullet 650 stands 2,318mm long, 892mm wide, and 1,137mm tall, with a 1,475mm wheelbase. Ground clearance is 154mm, and the 800mm seat height ensures it remains accessible despite its solid 243kg kerb weight. Fuel tank capacity is 14.8 litres.
      Royal Enfield Bullet 650
      Feature additions include LED lighting, a semi-digital instrument console, and a USB Type-C charging port, enhancing everyday practicality without compromising the vintage aesthetic. Launch is expected to take place in the coming weeks, which is when prices will be revealed. It is expected to be priced below Classic 650, which retails from Rs 3.61 lakh, ex-sh. More

      2026 Hayabusa Debuts With Torque Boost, Enhanced Cruise Control

      by

      2026 HayabusaIn addition to the technical updates, the 2026 Hayabusa is now also available in a Special Edition model with exclusive features
      Suzuki has unveiled the 2026 Hayabusa, offering refined performance and updated electronics. The new model was recently showcased at the Motorcycle Live (MCL) event, held at the NEC in Birmingham. The standard model is now available at a starting price of £18,599 (Rs 21.60 lakh), whereas the Special Edition version is priced at £18,999 (Rs 22.06 lakh). Let’s check out the details.
      2026 Suzuki Hayabusa – What’s new?
      For the 2026 Hayabusa, Suzuki has updated the throttle maps to deliver higher torque at low RPM. Users can expect quicker and stronger acceleration without the need to rev hard. This update will allow smoother rides in urban environments since the engine will now respond better at low RPM. Overtaking at low speeds will also become easier.
      Suzuki has updated the cruise control setup to ensure that it remains active even during gear shifts. In the previous model, the standard approach was used wherein the cruise control would turn off when the user shifted gears. With the cruise control now active during gear changes, users can expect smoother highway riding. There won’t be any hassle of resetting the cruise control every time the user shifts gears. This update will reduce fatigue and make long rides a lot more enjoyable.
      Another useful update is smoother launch control and a new lithium-ion battery. Users can expect faster and more predictable take-offs, which will be useful at traffic stops and track environments. The lithium-ion battery used is lightweight and designed to deliver improved electrical performance.
      2026 Suzuki Hayabusa Special Edition
      Suzuki has introduced a Special Edition version of the 2026 Hayabusa, which gets an exclusive colourway. This model also gets some exclusive graphics, badging elements and some new features. As compared to the standard version that has a black shade with red accents, the 2026 Special Edition Hayabusa has a blue shade with white accents. Both these colours have a strong association with Suzuki race bikes.
      An aerodynamic seat cowl is offered as standard with the 2026 Hayabusa Special Edition. This accessory enhances the bike’s sporty aesthetics, especially the side profile. The distinctive colour scheme is complemented with 3D ‘Suzuki’ black decals, placed on a white background on the sides of the fuel tank. Similarly, the top section of the fuel tank gets a circular ‘Special Edition Hayabusa’ badge.
