      Upcoming Royal Enfield Hunter 350cc – Two New Test Mules Spied

      by

      Royal Enfield is expected to take the covers off from the upcoming Hunter 350 later this year – It will be priced lower than Meteor and Classic 350New Royal Enfield Hunter 350ccRoyal Enfield has lined up multiple new products slated for market launches in the coming few months. The company recently launched its first scrambler motorcycle called Scram 411 which is based on Himalayan. One of the most highly anticipated models is Hunter 350.It is based on the same J series platform as Meteor and new-gen Classic and the motorcycle has been spotted testing on numerous occasions in the past. We have got hold of another set of spy shots which show clearer details of the upcoming roadster.Upcoming Royal Enfield Hunter 350ccBy the looks of it, the motorcycle looks almost production-ready with finished body panels. Like most Royal Enfield models, Hunter gets a modern classic design with retro styling elements.These include a round headlamp, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a round LED tail light, a single-piece seat, a short side-slung exhaust muffler and a short rear section. The latest test mules feature some noticeable variations in comparison to previous prototypes.New Royal Enfield Hunter 350ccFor starters, the taillight is flanked by rectangular turn indicators as opposed to circular units as seen previously. Also, earlier test units of Hunter had flaunted split grab rails whereas the latest prototypes came with a single-piece grab rail for a pillion. Another massive difference is that the latest test mules are seen rolling on wire-spoked wheels instead of alloys.Expected Features, Powertrain SpecsOn closer inspection one notices that it gets a twin-pod instrument console- one featuring the speedometer and odometer while the other getting a Tripper Navigation display. The latter is likely to be made available as an optional accessory through Royal Enfield’s MIY program. Tripper Navigation provides turn-by-turn navigation when paired to the Royal Enfield app on the rider’s smartphone via Bluetooth.Apart from this, it should receive a USB charger as a standard fitment. Powering the Hunter 350 will be a 349cc single-cylinder air-cooled OHC engine that kicks out 20.2 hp and 27 Nm of peak torque. This motor is paired with a 5-speed gearbox via a slipper and assist clutch.New Royal Enfield Hunter 350ccExpected Hardware Specs, Launch TimelineAs we already know, like new-gen Classic 350 and Meteor 350, Hunter will be underpinned by a dual-cradle frame which is suspended on 35mm telescopic forks upfront and twin gas-charged shock absorbers at rear. Anchorage setup comprises single disc brakes at both ends which are complemented by a standard dual-channel ABS.Although a specific launch timeline for Hunter hasn’t been revealed yet we expect it to make its debut during the second half of 2022, around the Diwali festive season. It is expected to be positioned just slightly below the new-gen Classic 350 in terms of pricing. More

      2022 Yamaha R3 Updated – New Orange Colour, Weight Reduced

      by

      Yamaha YZF R3 is powered by a 321cc parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine mated to a six-speed gearboxNew Yamaha R3 Orange ColourYamaha’s credentials for sports bikes cannot be questioned. Although its presence in the high-performance category in India has diminished in the last couple of years, it still remains a strong force in international markets. One of its primary offerings in the high-speed segment is YZF R3 which sits above R15 in the bikemaker’s lineup.2022 Yamaha R3 Updated – New Colour OptionThe fully-faired motorcycle has now received a new colour option in the Taiwanese market called Vivid Orange. This new paint scheme replaces the discontinued Teal colour and continues to be offered alongside existing colour options including Racing Blue and Midnight Black.The new Vivid Orange scheme gets a nice sporty dual-tone treatment with grey side panels and a bright orange shade on top half of the bike including the fuel tank, front fender and front fairing.This lends the motorcycle a slightly sportier and aesthetic appeal. In addition, the internals and running gear of YZF R3 in this paint option has been painted black.2022 Yamaha R3Design, Features & SpecsNo changes have been made to R3’s design at all. It continues to feature a twin-pod LED headlight, a split-style step-up seat, fairing-mounted rear view mirrors, gold anodized front forks, a side-slung exhaust with a brushed-aluminium tip. While the design of R3 remains intact, it now weighs 170 kg which is a kilo lighter. It also receives LED turn indicators instead of halogen bulb units offered previously.YZF R3 is powered by the same tried and tested 321cc parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine that kicks out 40.4 bhp at 10,750rpm and 29.4Nm of peak torque at 9,000rpm. Power is transmitted to the rear wheel via a 6-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch. In terms of features, it gets an all-LED illumination and an LCD instrument console.Hardware setup of the bike also remains intact. Suspension duties are handled by upside-down front forks at front and a mono-shock at rear. Braking configurations comprise single disc brakes at both ends aided by ABS. In Taiwan, the updated iteration of YZF R3 is priced at TWD 2,70,000 which is equivalent to INR Rs 7.20 lakh. R3 isn’t expected to make a return to the Indian market any time soon.Yamaha Feb 2022 salesMeanwhile, Yamaha recorded a total monthly sales volume of 34,817 units in February this year which resulted in a YoY decline of 37.25 percent and an MoM decline of 3.68 percent. FZ was the highest volume generator for the Japanese brand with 13,395 units dispatched across the country The company will soon be launching a new-gen model of MT-15 based on R15 V4. More

      New Honda Scooters Trademarked In India – Patent Leaks

      by

      Honda currently retails four scooters in India- Acitva 6G and Dio in the 110cc category and Activa 125 and Grazia in the 125cc categoryImage for reference.Honda’s two wheeler business has suffered in recent months. Sales declined by more than 30% last month. Honda has plans to launch new scooters and motorcycles in India, to boost sales. They also have plans to launch electric scooters.Honda has filed design patents for 3 new scooters in India, images of which have now leaked online. In the past, Honda had brought scooters with slightly unconventional looks like Cliq and Navi. However, both models failed miserably in the Indian market.New Honda Scooter Design PatentsHence, this time Honda has opted for a more conventional yet distinct design that fulfills the demands of a commuter scooter. The styling has been kept simple and by the looks of it, the scooter will be targeted at a mass section of buyers. It could be either a 110cc or 125cc offering since the design looks too sober for a power scooter of the 150cc category.We already have spoken about the Honda X-ADV scooter, that has been patented in India. Apart from that, two more scooters have been patented. One of the patents was filed on 19th Feb 2021, other on 18th Oct 2021.  Honda files new scooter design patents in IndiaThe patent images display an IC engine-powered scooter. The headlamp is mounted at the centre of the front apron whereas turn indicators are positioned on the front side panel. The floorboard looks flat and spacious thus indicating that it would be a practical offering.It gets a single-piece saddle with a raised pillion seat and a flat tail section with a single-piece grab rail. The exhaust muffler is side-slung and flat whereas the tail lamp seems to be high mounted. Apart from under-seat storage, it appears that the scooter will also offer some storage in the front compartment with an open aperture.Since one of these new Honda scooters is expected to be a budget offering, we don’t expect it to be loaded with all tech and gizmos. However, it is likely to cover all basic features including LED headlights, an under-seat charging point, a semi-digital instrument console and an integrated self-start and engine kill switch. Bluetooth connectivity is unlikely to be part of this package.2022 Honda X-ADV Scooter trademarked in IndiaExpected Engine SpecsIf introduced in the 110cc guise it will be powered by a 109.5cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine which pushes out 7.6 bhp and 8.8 Nm of peak torque. This unit is paired with a CVT gearbox and propels Honda Activa 6G and Dio. The other option is with a 125cc engine which kicks out 8.1 bhp at 6,500rpm and 10.3 Nm of peak torque at 5,000rpm. This motor performs duties on Activa 125 and Grazia.At the moment, there are no specific details regarding this patent filed by Honda. It isn’t yet confirmed if at all this model will reach production. However, this isn’t the only trademark filed by the company. Recently, it was reported that Honda has filed a trademark for CBR150R in India. More

      2023 Harley Davidson 500cc Motorcycle Spied – Royal Enfield Rival

      by

      New 500cc roadster is one of the many upcoming entry-level models from Harley Davidson developed specifically for developing marketsNew Harley Davidson 500cc MotorcycleIn recent times, Harley Davidson has been working on developing a wide range of new entry-level models for its lineup. The iconic American brand joined hands with Chinese automaker Qianjiang, parent company of Benelli, a few years back for developing affordable small- and mid-capacity engines and platforms.Recently, some concrete details of the upcoming Harley Davidson 338R were revealed online. Although no spy images of this model have been published yet, this upcoming bike is expected to be the first model to come out of this Sino-US alliance. The next bike to be developed as part of this joint venture has also been caught on camera recently.2023 Harley Davidson 500cc Motorcycle SpiedAs per a media report, this unnamed motorcycle has been caught undergoing a dyno test at a closed testing facility. These latest spy shots have been grabbed from a video uploaded by QJ Motor, a subsidiary of Qianjiang Group, and uploaded on a Chinese website. In all probability, this is a new 500cc bike that has been spotted for the first time.From looks of it, the motorcycle shares an uncanny resemblance with a typical Harley Davidson roadster. For starters, it gets a familiar retro design with signature styling highlights like a round headlamp with a silver-colored bezel, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank and a single-pod instrument console. Other visual highlights include circular rearview mirrors, a single-piece seat and a broad bobber-style fender at rear.New Harley Davidson 500cc MotorcycleFurther solidifying its significance is the fact that ‘HD 500′ has been scribbled on the rear registration plate mountings placed on the rear tyre hugger. While the prototype doesn’t boast of a Harley Davidson branding anywhere, it does flaunt its new orange logo on the fuel tank which has been seen in recent models like Pan America and Sportster S.Internals borrowed from Leoncino 500However, underneath its retro design, the bike shares a lot in common with Benelli. For instance, the exposed steel trellis frame has probably been borrowed from Leoncino 500. Same is the case with other hardware components like a suspension setup comprising upside-down forks up front and a mono-shock at rear, radially-mounted brake callipers, alloy wheels and swingarm.In all probability, this upcoming Harley Davidson motorcycle will be powered by a 500cc parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine that has also been lifted from Leoncino 500. This unit belts out 47 bhp at 8500rpm and a peak torque of 46 Nm at 6000rpm. The 8-valve motor is paired with a six-speed gearbox.New Harley Davidson 500cc MotorcycleExpected LaunchAs seen from the latest spy shots, the prototype appears to be nearing its final production stage, courtesy of a number plate mount and turn indicators. There could be minute changes at the time of its launch like some more chrome touches which make it look more like a Harley Davidson.While the bike’s market launch is expected sometime in 2023, we can expect Harley to show a glimpse of this model at EICMA later this year. It is likely to rival Royal Enfield 650cc motorcycles.Source More

Image for reference.Six months ago, Yamaha launched a new generation model of R15 in India named YZF R15 V4. The entry-level sportbike received a fair bit of upgrades and a substantial price hike to go with. To offer a more affordable version of R15, Yamaha launched R15S V3 in the market which is based on the previous third-gen model of the baby superbike.This came at a slightly smaller price tag and a few misses as compared to the current fourth-gen model. When launched a few months back, Yamaha had offered only a single variant with a single Racing Blue colour option for R15S V3. The Japanese bikemaker has decided to add two more shades to the palette of this mini superbike.Yamaha R15S V3 – New Colour SchemesThe fully-faired motorcycle will be made available in two new paint schemes including Dark Knight Black and Red. These new colour options are expected to go on sale April 11 onwards and could be priced at a slight premium over the Racing Blue colour scheme which is tagged at Rs Rs 1.58 lakh (ex-showroom).Apart from new paint schemes, no other updates are expected to be made in R15S. Addition of new colour options should aid the motorcycle in attracting more customers in the country.
