      by

      Bajaj PulsarThe first half of FY2020-21 saw a drastic drop in sales but that was compensated by a surge in demands and relaxation of restrictions in the second half
      Past year has been tough for business houses since the global outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. Auto manufacturers in India and internationally have had to bear the same fate with sales dwindling amidst rising infections and lockdowns imposed in several nations. However, these restrictions were followed by a huge surge in automotive demands.
      This is reflected in two-wheeler sales figures for FY2020-21 which turned out to be better than the previous fiscal year of 2019-20. In the recently concluded fiscal year, the top-ten selling two-wheelers contributed a volume of about 19,86,937 units with a growth of about 7,34,925 units.

      This was followed by Honda Unicorn which sold 2,29,513 units in comparison to a meagre 15,058 units sold across the entire FY2019-20. This resulted in a growth of 2,14, 455 units and the highest growth percentage of 1424.20 percent.

      Yamaha XSR 125 Confirmed For Launch In Europe – Based On R125, MT125

      by

      Yamaha XSR 155 Image for reference
      Yamaha XSR 125 will initially be on offer for European markets only
      The XSR brand from Yamaha has earned quite a name in the South Asian markets in the small capacity segment of motorcycles. The smallest of them all, XSR 125 has just been conformed and will be headed for European markets later this year. A type approval document of the 125cc XSR has been leaked on the internet revealing this development and certain specifications.
      Although any patent images of the same haven’t been revealed yet, in all probability it is likely to be inspired by XSR 155 in terms of design. XSR 155 is a very popular offering in several Asian markets and is likely to be based on R125 and MT125. Utilising the 125cc motor and underpinnings would not be difficult as both the models mentioned above are already on sale in Europe.
      Familiar Retro design
      The document leaked specifies that dimensions of the neo-retro motorcycle will be similar to XSR 155 except for its height which will be 10mm taller than its larger sibling. This is probably because the suspension setup will be tuned for a firmer ride in Europe.
      All other details including the design are expected to be nearly identical to XSR 155 which sports a neo scrambler styling. Some highlights include wide handlebars, circular headlamp and taillamp, a high tail section and a ripped single-piece seat.
      Yamaha XSR 155
      Features & Mechanical Specs
      Some of the features such as a fully digital, blue-backlit, circular instrument display and an LED lighting setup from XSR 155 are likely to trickle down to its smaller sibling. Hardware configurations of the upcoming retro motorcycle are likely to mirror its more powerful counterpart. This includes a diamond frame suspended on upside-down forks at front and a mono-shock at rear.
      The upcoming motorcycle will ride on 17-inch alloy wheels while braking duties will be carried out by a 292mm disc at front and 220mm disc at rear. This will be assisted by a dual-channel ABS as standard. As far as performance goes, it will be powered by the same 125cc single-cylinder motor from R125 and MT-125 which pushes out 15bhp and 11.5Nm of peak torque.
      This unit is paired with a 5-speed constant mesh gearbox. For a small displacement motorcycle and beginner riders, these numbers are more than plenty.
      Yamaha FZ-X
      The sad part is that this motorcycle is unlikely to be launched in India anytime soon. Instead, Yamaha will launch a retro-styled motorcycle in the form of FZ-X which is based on FZ- S Fi. Images of the upcoming motorcycle clicked during on-road trials have surfaced online on multiple occasions. It will be powered by a 149cc motor which produces 12.4 bhp at 7250rpm and 13.3 Nm of peak torque at 5500rpm. Launch of the retro-style bike is expected to take place in a couple of months. More

This two wheeler maker currently commands a 35.81 percent market share with strong sellers being the Hero Splendor and HF Deluxe.
      Two Wheeler Retail Sales FY 2021
      At No.2 spot and with a market share of 25.73 percent was Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India with 29.33 percent de-growth in terms of retail sales. Total retails in FY21 stood at 29,66,821 units, down from 41,98,259 units sold in FY20.

      TVS and Bajaj Auto
      TVS Motor and Bajaj Auto posted de-growth in terms of retail sales, down 28.56 percent and 36.33 percent respectively. Despite the slowdown across the two wheeler segment, Bajaj Auto plans to go ahead with its new launches. The Bajaj CT110X was recently launched at Rs.55,494 sitting on top of the CT line-up while the NS125 was also launched at the end of April, priced at Rs.93,690. The NS 125 has been well received and will help the company strengthen its positioned in the entry sport bike segment.

      TVS XL Moped Modified To Look Like Harley Davidson Is A Valiant Attempt

      by

      TVS XL modified to like a Harley. Credit – sudus custom
      While the mechanical configuration hasn’t been tinkered, it does with a custom-made engine casing which gives it the appearance of a V-twin
      Despite its small size and capacity, TVS XL 100 is considered to be a workhorse of a two-wheeler. It is extremely efficient, frugal and reliable which makes it a favourite among people on a tight budget and those who conduct business on wheels. However, it would be highly optimistic to expect a powerful performance out of its humble powertrain.
      But that’s what aftermarket designers are- Optimistic as they look to create something special out of nothing. The latest case is a prime example in his regard where an XL 100 has modified to look like a miniature Harley Davidson. While it definitely doesn’t match in its size or capacity, its design definitely looks a close replica of the classical American bobber.
      TVS XL modified to like a Harley
      Aesthetic Modifications Made
      In a video uploaded by Sudus Customs on YouTube, the vlogger explains the modifications carried out on the moped. The designer has to be lauded for his efforts as the final product shares close resemblance with Harley Davidson Forty-Eight.
      In this aftermarket modification, the designer has given attention to each and every details. Almost every part of the custom-made bike is built from hands. Take a look at the detailed video below.
      [embedded content]
      The most iconic piece of attraction is a yellow-coloured fuel tank that has carved in shape just like the classic cruiser from Harley Davidson. It also features Harley Davidson and Forty-Eight brandings on the tank. It is a bolt-on tank and can be installed or removed easily. However, since the moped has no real body panels as such, a large section of the modified work is left uncovered. For instance, the huge gap between the fuel tank and motor.
      Is that a V-Twin there?
      The custom-made bike also features side boxes that are customised. The leather saddle can accommodate only the rider which has been fitted by positioning it above the rear suspension unit and then fastening the bolts.
      The most noticeably highlight is the engine compartment that wears a custom fibreglass casing. The cover encloses the tiny 100cc motor but gives it the shape of a classical V-Twin motor just like the ones that power Harley Davidson motorcycles.
      TVS XL modified to like a Harley
      The designer has also added a twin exhaust setup with custom-made mufflers although only one is functional. This setup lends a bit of heft to the moped. Other parts such as the front mudguard and rear fender have also been hand-made. It gets the same set of features which include a round headlamp with chrome bezels, round indicators and single pod analogue instrument cluster that provide a retro theme to the modified moped.
      In terms of specifications, new TVS XL 100 is powered by a 99.7cc four-stroke engine which delivers 4.3 bhp and 6.5 Nm of peak torque. On the other hand, Harley Davidson Forty-Eight is propelled by a massive 1202cc parallel-twin motor that spits out 96 Nm of peak torque. More

      by

      2021 Yamaha NVX ScooterYamaha NVX is powered by the same 155cc VVA motor that propels YZF R15 V3 and MT-15
      South Asian markets boast a plethora of options when it comes to lightweight commuter scooters. In this regard, Yamaha has launched an updated version of NVX power scooter in Malaysia. The 2021 NVX is available in two trims- Standard and ABS.
      While the former has been priced at RM 8,998 (equivalent to ?1.61 lakh), the latter can be availed at RM 10,998 (equivalent to ?1.97 lakh). With this launch, Yamaha has expanded its 155cc motor lineup across its global lineup which currently consists of motorcycles such as YZF R15 V3, MT-15 and scooter models such as NMax, Aerox and NVX.
      2021 Yamaha NVX Scooter
      Updated Aesthetics
      The ripped physique along with aggressive character lines of NVX gives the scooter a masculine appeal. It receives sporty and sculpted body panels, funky body graphics and two-part LED headlights on the front apron. The blacked-out theme on the foot mounts and side slung exhaust enhance the sportiness of the scooter.
      Contrast coloured rims add a neat touch to the overall design. These styling elements are further complemented by new colour options in the form of Red and Cyan colours in the standard trim and Platinum SE and GP Blue paint schemes in the ABS variant.
      2021 Yamaha NVX Scooter
      New Features On Board
      Not just looks but the latest iteration of NVX is also very functional and packs a host of nifty features such as all-LED headlights, fully digital LCD instrument cluster, integrated indicators, hazard light switch,12V charging port, keyless start and idle start-stop system.

      2021 Yamaha NVX Scooter
      Through this functionality, the rider is able to obtain real-time information such as overall vehicle health check, fuel consumption, service reminder, scooter’s last known location and much more. The instrument panel will also be able to display all new messages and calls received on phone.
      Mechanical Specs
      Coming to its mechanical specs, the new NVX is powered by a 155 cc liquid-cooled VVA engine that has been tuned to push out 15.19 bhp at 8000rpm and 13.9 Nm at 9000rpm. Suspension duties are carried out by telescopic forks at front and adjustable twin shock absorbers at rear. On the other hand, anchorage is handled by a 230mm disc brake and a drum brake at rear. The scooter rides on 14-inch front and rear wheels.
      While the standard variant tips the weighing scales at 122 kilos, the ABS variant weighs 3kg more. Saddle height is very accessible at 790mm with a ground clearance of 149mm. Fuel tank capacity has also been increased from 4.5-litre to 5.5-litre which means more miles to go in a full tank. More

      Royal Enfield Sultan 650 By Neev Motorcycles – Looks Ready To Rule The Streets

      by

      Royal Enfield 650 Sultan By Neev MotorcyclesInterested folks can contact the bike modifier to bring this concept to life
      Royal Enfield 650 twins are among the most preferred motorbikes for customization projects. They are relatively affordable, easier to tweak and can support a wide variety of aftermarket components.
      The latest mod job is actually a paper based concept that is yet to be built. However, considering the absolute stunner revealed in the images, it would be safe to assume that orders for this mean machine will flow in pretty fast.
      Royal Enfield Sultan 650 By Neev Motorcycles
      Interceptor 650 ‘Sultan concept’ design
      Created by customization shop Neev Motorcycles, the Sultan concept appears to have a dark, brooding character. It looks deadly, merciless and unforgiving. The concept has a sharp design and utilizes a dual tone colour theme of black and dark grey.
      Some of the key features include round headlamp with colour LED lights, clip-on handle bars, LED tail light and turn signals, bar end rear view mirrors, side mounted instrument cluster, leather seat, and upswept exhaust.
      Royal Enfield Sultan 650 By Neev Motorcycles
      Interceptor 650 Sultan specs
      As compared to stock 41 mm front fork, modified Interceptor 650 Sultan concept utilizes USD forks. However, the stock twin coil-over shocks at the rear have been retained. The concept utilizes R17 alloy wheels with wheel cover at both front and rear, shod with tubeless tyres.
      Royal Enfield Sultan 650 By Neev Motorcycles
      A number of accessories and parts have been hand built such as the fenders, side panels, fuel tank detailing, two-in-one flow exhaust with protective covers, wheel covers, frame alterations, number plate assembly and instrument cluster repositioning. Components made in machine shop include sump guard / bash plate, disc brake fittings, axles, and spacers. Aftermarket components include exhaust muffler, exhaust silencer, and grips.
      This project achieves a high level of finish, made possible with powder coating, anodizing, zinc plating, chrome plating, and polishing. The paint job is also entirely new.
      Royal Enfield Sultan 650 By Neev Motorcycles
      While the Sultan concept looks absolutely stunning, it is unlikely to come cheap. A number of customized and aftermarket components will have to be used, which is bound to increase the overall cost of this customization project. One also has to ascertain if this modification project would be approved by RTO. If not, the Sultan will only work as a collector’s item for enthusiasts.
      Practicality is another thing that needs to be considered for such extensive customization projects. How the modified motorcycle will perform in the real world would be difficult to judge just by looking at the pictures.
      However, if we were to assess this project solely for its design and styling, it easily qualifies as one of the best we have ever come across. It’s one of those amazing ideas that deserves to be born. More

      Husqvarna India Sales, Exports FY21 Crosses 18k – Svartpilen, Vitpilen 125, 201, 250, 401

      by

      Image – Trending MotoPHHusqvarna is currently focused more on global markets, as compared to domestic sales
      Husqvarna motorcycles in India are manufactured at Bajaj Auto’s plant in Chakan, near Pune. The company produces sub 400cc Husqvarna motorcycles under the Svartpilen and Vitpilen brand. Production includes 125, 201, 250 and 401 range of the two brands.
      Of these, only Vitpilen 250 and Svartpilen 250 are offered in the domestic market. The ratio of exports to domestic sales is roughly 2:1. As Husqvarna motorcycles have received good response in the Indian market, other capacity bikes could also be launched here in the future.
      Husqvarna Sales and Exports FY21
      Total sales of Vitpilen 250 and Svartpilen 250 in FY21 in domestic market is 6,170 units. Lowest sales of 73 units was recorded in May last year, whereas highest sales of 972 units was in August. Average sales works out at around 560 units per month.
      In export markets, the most preferred is Husqvarna 401. A total of 6,472 units were exported from the period May 2020 to March 2021. Lowest export numbers of 72 units was recorded in November last year, whereas highest exports of 1,466 units was in February 2021. The average works out at around 588 units per month for Husqvarna 401.
      Husqvarna Sales and Exports – FY 2021
      The second bestseller in terms of volumes is Husqvarna 125 with total exports of 2,508 units in FY21. Lowest exports were 114 units in November last year and highest came in January 2021 at 1,092 units. Average works out at around 501 units per month in FY21.
      At number three in exports is Husqvarna 250 with a total of 1,986 units. Lowest numbers of 42 units were recorded in May last year and the highest of 420 units came in February 2021. Average is at around 180 units per month.
      Husqvarna 201 has total exports of 1,670 units in FY21. The least numbers were in May last year at 3 units and highest of 360 units was recorded in February 2021. Average is around 151 units per month.
      Husqvarna Sales and Exports – FY 2021
      Future Plans
      For increasing sales, it is imperative that Husqvarna will have to expand its portfolio in the domestic market. Husqvarna 125cc and 201cc could generate good demand in the domestic market. We have already witnessed a similar trend with KTM 125cc and 200cc motorcycles, which are the primary volume generators for KTM in the domestic market.
      Another possibility is that Husqvarna may step up focus on electric segment to boost sales in India. The company recently unveiled an electric scooter and an electric motorcycle, named Vektorr Concept and E-Pilen Concept, respectively. Vektorr will share its platform with Bajaj Chetak and is expected to be launched by next year. E-Pilen could drive in by late 2021 or sometime next year. Husqvarna electric scooter and motorcycle will have range of 95km and 100km, respectively. More

      by

      New Honda CB 150R Streetfire
      Honda CB150R Streetfire rivals against the likes of KTM Duke 125 and Yamaha MT15 in international markets
      While Honda Two-Wheelers India does offer a wide range of products in the country, it still misses out on a few models which are loved in international markets. One of them being CB150R which now has received a makeover. The latest iteration of the street naked bike was launched in Indonesia with a few upgrades in aesthetics and features.
      2021 CB150R Streetfire has been made available in two variants- Standard and Special Edition. While the base trim is retailed at IDR 2,97,00,000 (approximately INR 1.51 lakh), Honda is asking IDR 3,07,00,000 ( approximately INR 1.56 lakh) for the Special Edition variant.
      Updates Design
      To start off with its design, the latest iteration of CB150R looks sharper and muscular than the outgoing model thanks to restyled bodywork. It retains its aggressive appeal with a robust 12-litre fuel tank and front extensions.
      It also receives a set of redesigned alloy wheels that look familiar to the ones offered in Hornet 2.0. Other styling highlights include a tapered handlebar for increased riding comfort and an underbelly pan.
      New Honda CB 150R Streetfire
      New Features & Hardware
      In terms of features, it gets a fully digital instrument cluster, and LED headlights and turn indicators. The most interesting addition has been the beefier golden-coloured 37mm inverted forks from Showa at front in place of conventional telescopic units while the rear gets a pro-link mono-shock mounted on the swingarm. Braking duties are still carried out by petal disc brakes on both wheels.
      The new CB150R also comes with new colour options- Stinger Red Black and Macho Black for the standard trim; and Raptor Matte Black, Armoured Matte Grey and Furry Matte Red for the Special Edition. The special edition model comes with a 3D branding on its fuel tank along with a ‘Burnt Titanium’ finish on alloy wheels, handlebar and engine casing which distinguishes itself from the standard trim.
