Now, the entry into Yamaha’s multi-cylinder motorcycle lineup starts with the new YZF-R3 and MT-03 launched today. Prices for this dynamic duo start from Rs. 4,59,900 (ex-sh) for MT-03 and Rs. 4,64,900 for its fully-faired counterpart R3.Yamaha R3 And MT-03 Launched In IndiaUp until now, R15M was the most expensive Yamaha motorcycle in India. That changes now, as Yamaha has re-introduced YZF-R3 and launched its street naked counterpart, MT-03 for the first time in India. There are two colours on offer with Yamaha R3 – Icon Blue and Yamaha Black. While MT-03 gets Midnight Black and Midnight Cyan shades.Yamaha R3 was first launched in India in 2015 in BS4 guise and was the arch-rival to another 300cc twinner from Japan, Kawasaki Ninja 300, along with Italians like Benelli 302R. R3 took its sweet time for re-launch. But it is finally here. MT-03 however, is at the Indian gates for the first time. Sold via select dealers.R3 now gets a lot sharper design than the previous model. The new design is in line with other YZF-R products like R1, M1, R6, and even R15 that we have in India. It has a sleek and aerodynamic design and a new dash of colours too. Same goes with MT-03, where it falls in line with other MT vehicles and looks like a bigger MT-15, which it is.Yamaha MT-03 Midnight CyanYamaha MT-03 Midnight BlackLike other products in R-World, R3 also gets an air duct between the headlights for optimal cooling. Speaking about headlights, they are LEDs now and the turn indicators are integrated into the fairing. RVMs are still mounted on the cowl. It gets a decent windscreen, clip-on handlebars, sculpted fuel tank, split seat design and upswept exhaust.MT-03 gets the same attributes, but lacks a fairing. The footpegs are slightly rear set indicating that it is a track machine. It gets a fully digital instrument cluster showing various data like fuel capacity, gear position, coolant temp, real-time and average fuel economy, trip meter, clock and more.Specs and equipmentBoth Yamaha R3 and MT-03 get the same 321cc, liquid-cooled paralle-twin motor with a DOHC setup. It generates around 40 bhp of peak power and 29.5 Nm of peak orque. It is mated to a 6-speed gearbox with a slip and assist clutch too.Yamaha YZF-R3 Icon BlueThe main highlight of Yamaha R3 and MT-03 is its low kerb weight. R3 tips the scales at 169 kg, whereas MT-03 weighs 1 kg lighter at 168 kg. This is not only lighter than its arch-rival Ninja 300, but also RC 390, G 310 RR and Apache RR 310. Hence power:weight ratio is highest in this segment.Other hardware specs include USD forks at front and a mono-shock at the rear. Braking is handled by 298 mm and 220 mm discs at front and rear. Dual-channel ABS is offered as standard. R3 gets 17” wheels at both ends, shod with 110/70 front and 140/70 rear tyres. Royal Enfield 650s might be the biggest threat to Yamaha’s 300cc twinner duo, even though they don’t really compete in any other aspects than pricing. More

    Simple Dot One Launched – 3.7kWh, 151km, Touchscreen For 1 Lakh

    New Affordable Simple Dot One LaunchedThe Simple Energy’s affordable Simple Dot One launched will be available at an introductory price for first set of Bengaluru resident buyersSince the revision of FAME II subsidy by Indian Government, there has been a new shift in strategies within 2W EV manufacturers in introducing affordable versions of their products. Ather launched 450S, Ola launched S1 Air, S1 X range. Simple Energy has taken a similar route and launched Simple Dot One in India at Rs. 1 lakh (ex-sh).Simple Dot One LaunchedThe latest electric scooter from Simple Energy Stables is its much awaited Dot One. The electric mobility startup has priced Dot One at Rs. 99,999 (ex-sh, Bengaluru). This is introductory pricing for Dot One exclusively for pre-booked Simple One customers from Bengaluru city. This special pricing is till availability of inventory and is subjected to change there after.Bookings for the same are open online. For starters, Simple Dot One affordable electric scooter is based on Simple Energy’s maiden product, Simple One. There is just one standard variant with Dot One and four colour options – Namma Red, Brazen Black, Grace White, and Azure Blue. For early bid buyers, Simple Energy is also offering customization.This is in the form of LightX and BrazenX colour options. Deliveries of Simple Dot One will commence in Bengaluru first, followed by other cities in future. If we take a look at the Rs. 1 lakh price tag, it strategically undercuts Ather’s affordable model, 450S. However, Ola’s S1 X+ with the recent Rs. 20,000 discount proves to be quite disruptive at Rs. 89,999 (ex-sh, limited price).Simple Dot One SpecsIf we zoom out a little and soak in the headline figures that Simple Dot One is brining to the table, things start to fall in place in favour of Simple Dot One, at least on paper. Speaking of headline figures, Simple Dot One has a 3.7 kWh battery promising a 160 km (IDC claimed) range on a single charge. This is just one fixed battery, unlike Simple One with a secondary removable one.Specs & componentryDrawing power from this battery is an 8.5 kW (11.4 bhp) (peak power) and 72 Nm electric motor. Performance is impressive on paper with Dot One accelerating to 40 km/h in 2.77 seconds. Top speed is 105 km/h. There are four ride modes – Eco, Ride, Dash and Sonic. There are disc brakes at both ends with CBS, 12-inch alloy wheels with 90/90 tubeless tyres, all LED lighting and more.Another attribute that Simple Dot One packs that rivals don’t is a 7-inch touchscreen instrument screen with seamless app connectivity. Under-seat storage is quite large, at 35L and the ground clearance is a respectable 164.5 mm. Kerb weight is 126 kg.Simple Dot One FeaturesWords from the manufacturerSpeaking at the launch, Mr. Suhas Rajkumar, Founder & CEO, Simple Energy, said, “Today marks a pivotal moment in the history of Simple Energy as we launch the Simple Dot One., the newest member of our expanding portfolio.

This is the production version of Royal Enfield Shotgun 650, unlike the Shotgun 650 Motoverse Edition launched at Rs. 4.25 lakh (ex-sh), limited to 25 units only. The production version looks very similar to Motoverse Edition, but there are visual differences.Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 Globally DebutsRoyal Enfield is known for its blank canvas approach for modders and custom bike builders to work on.

For Royal Enfield, Shotgun 650 is a celebration of self expression. As we all know, West Coast is known for its mod culture and houses some of world’s greatest custom bike builders.Design of production-spec Shotgun 650 is very close to Shotgun 650 Motoverse Edition that was recently sold to 25 lucky Motoverse 2023 attendees. The bike looks very close to original SG650 concept that was showcased earlier. All the motorcycles that featured in Royal Enfield’s short video were single-seat versions.New Shotgun 650 ColoursThere are four colour options – Stencil White, Plasma Blue, Green Drill and Sheetmetal Grey. This motorcycle can be transformed into a single-seater, souble-seater and a luggage carrying tourer, with pillion seat popping out with a twist of the key.What does it pack?For starters, Shotgun 650 packs the same main frame as Super Meteor 650, but a slightly different sub frame. This is to suit different design characteristics that separate Super Meteor 650 and Shotgun 650. Where powertrain is concerned, Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 packs the same 648cc parallel twin oil-cooled engine as other RE 650s.This powertrain is capable of developing 47 hp of peak power and 52 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Royal Enfield is offering a slip and assist clutch as part of package. This powertrain has oodles of torque and power reserves for both enthusiastic as well as relaxed and laid-back riding styles.Shotgun 650 anglesComponentry includes USD telescopic front forks and twin shock absorbers at the rear, single disc brake setup at both ends coupled with dual-channel ABS as standard, a wide handlebar for good leverage, 18-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels with tubeless tyres among others. Features include a semi-digital instrument cluster, Tripper screen, all LED lighting, Wingman telematics and many more.As of now, Royal Enfield has not revealed a launch date and final specs are still under wraps. We expect it to launch in early 2024 at a starting price of around Rs. 3.7 lakh (ex-sh) for the base variant.Words from the manufacturerSpeaking about this motorcycle, Siddhartha Lal, Managing Director & CEO of Eicher Motors Ltd., says “The Shotgun 650 is inspired by the work of our custom community and our years of work with them. It is a retro-futuristic interpretation of what a factory custom motorcycle with thoroughbred Royal Enfield DNA would look like. A shape-shifting machine that defies categorization, both in form and in spirit, the Shotgun 650 is something absolutely new and different.Shotgun 650 accessoriesIt is super fun to ride with confidence inspiring ride ergonomics and handles well in downtown city streets, through twisties and powers through straight highways. The Shotgun 650 is our attempt to bring niche and newer categories of motorcycles to growing enthusiasts of self-expression”. More

    2024 Kawasaki ZX-6R Showcased At IBW – Launch Bells Ringing?

    2024 Kawasaki ZX-6RThe 636cc in-line 4-cylinder engine on 2024 Kawasaki ZX-6R is compliant with new emission standards, generating 130 hp and 69 NmTeam Green has been greenlighting multiple new launches in India from its global lineup. Recent of which was the launch of its pocket-rocket Ninja ZX-4R motorcycle in India for Rs. 8.5 lakh (ex-sh). At 10th anniversary of India Bike Week recently, the company showcased 2024 Kawasaki ZX-6R with a launch probably in the coming months.2024 Kawasaki ZX-6R Showcased At IBWThe middle-weight motorcycle segment is now used to define a broad range of motorcycles across multiple engine displacements. Originally, it used to define the 600cc performance motorcycles and Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R is among the OGs of this segment. In India, 500cc+ segment is currently ruled by Royal Enfield’s 650s.But where high-performance fully-faired sports bikes are concerned, there is very little action. Suzuki and Yamaha are missing in this segment, altogether. Although, Yamaha might introduce YZF-R7 in the future and Triumph might launch Daytona 660. As of now, Honda CBR650R and Aprilia RS 660 are the only ones that Kawasaki ZX-6R will have to face.There is a sub segment in 600cc fully-faired sports bikes with lower-tier performance. This is where Kawasaki Ninja 650 is currently on sale. As opposed to CBR650R’s 86 hp and RS 660’s 99 hp, Kawasaki ZX-6R has the brownie points by packing 130 hp peak power with its 2024 model that was showcased at IBW 2023.Attractive ZX-6R 40th Anniversary EditionWhat changes does 2024 model have?As opposed to the motorcycle already on sale in multiple global markets, 2024 Kawasaki ZX-6R don’t get a lot of updates. The engine has been made emission compliant to suit multiple markets including India. Design-wise, there are a few changes that should lend subjectively small visual differences.Most of these changes are situated at the front. The ZX-10R inspired super-sport design is still retained. However, a few lines have been smoothened and there are a few curves in the motorcycle’s fascia now, as opposed to before. Other than that, 2024 Kawasaki ZX-6R is the same green monster that we remember it as.As per powertrains, ZX-6R retains its 636cc in-line 4-cylinder engine that generates 130 hp peak power at 13,000 RPM and a really nice 69 Nm of peak torque at 10,800 RPM. A 6-speed gearbox, slipper clutch, ride by wire throttle and a bi-directional quick shifter are notable elements.Ninja ZX-6RComponentry includes Showa SFF USD telescopic front forks with compression and rebound adjustability, rear mono-shock suspension with pre-load adjust, 120/70 front tyres and 180/55 rear tyres wrapped to 17-inch alloy wheels, dual 310 mm front discs and single 220 mm rear disc brakes, among others.Instrument cluster is a TFT unit along with Bluetooth and smartphone connectivity. There is an extensive electronic safety net including dual-channel ABS, traction control, ride modes and others. India launch is likely to be in the coming months and a price of around Rs. 11 lakh is probable.Ninja ZX-6R KRT More
