      by

      New BMW Scooter For IndiaBMW 350cc Scooter will target a niche customer base – Bookings are already open at dealerships
      Maxi-scooter segment in India remains largely untapped as of now. There are just a few products and those too can be better described as a mix of standard scooter and maxi-scooter. With BMW C 400 GT coming to India in the days ahead, we can see more such true-blue maxi-scooters in the future.
      BMW 350cc Scooter – design and features
      With its beefy profile and sculpted body panels, BMW C 400 GT makes a dominating road presence. Some key features include full LED headlights, large windshield, ergonomic seat, upswept exhaust and large grabrails. In international markets, BMW C 400 GT is available in colour options of Style Triple Black, Alpine White and Callisto Gray Metallic. Style Triple Black is probably the best looking of the three and it also gets golden brake callipers.
      Maxi-scooters are synonymous with superior comfort and convenience. In that sense, BMW C 400 GT is loaded with a comprehensive range of features. It includes keyless ride, ride by wire technology, ample underseat storage, USB charging socket, and self-calibrating ASC. The scooter has TFT screen, which displays a range of information including navigational directions.
      Customers can use BMW Motorrad Connectivity suite to access a range of smart features. Riders can use the handlebar mounted multi-controller to access various functions such as music, search contacts, make / receive calls, etc. BMW is also offering optional equipment such as heated grips, heated seat and anti-theft alarm system.

      Maxi Scooters In India
      There will be no rival to the BMW 350cc scooter in the segment. As of now, in the maxi-scooter range India has the Aprilia SXR 125 and the SXR 160 as well as the recently launched Yamaha Aerox 155cc. Later this year, Honda Forza 350 maxi scooter could also make it to our shores.
      Its smaller sibling Forza 125 could also be launched in India. However, there is no official confirmation on this. Forza 125 gets its power from a 124.9cc motor that makes 14.75 bhp at 8,750 rpm and 12.2 Nm at 6,500 rpm. Forza 350 has a 330cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder motor that makes 28.8 bhp at 7500 rpm and 31.5 Nm at 5250 rpm. Both engines are Euro-5 compliant, which is largely the same as BS6. More

      Yamaha has upped its game in the last few months by launching a range of new models in India. Recently, the Japanese manufacturer launched updated iterations of Fascino Fi 125 and Ray-ZR with mild-hybrid technology. The company has introduced the third scooter in its India portfolio in the form of Aerox 155.
      Yamaha Aerox 155cc Maxi Scooter – Prices and Colours
      It is the first Maxi-style scooter from the brand in the country which is an untapped space in India’s two-wheeler market. Aerox 155 has been launched at a starting price of Rs 1.29 lakh (ex-showroom), in two dual tone colours of blue / silver and white / black. Limited edition of Aerox Monster Energy MotoGP version is on sale for Rs 1.30 lakh, ex-sh. and currently has only one direct rival in the form of Aprilia SXR 160. The Maxi scooter was first showcased in India at the Auto Expo 2018.
      The scooter later found its way to select Yamaha showrooms for display but was not able to achieve a healthy response then. But Yamaha has decided to offer something different to the premium segment of buyers who want a scooter with a unique design as well as class-leading features and performance. Aerox 155 has been on sale in a few Southeast Asian markets including Indonesia, Philippines and Thailand.
      Maxi Design
      The latest iteration of Aerox made its international debut earlier this year which features design as well as feature updates. Starting with its design, the 2021 Aerox comes with a twin LED headlight setup consisting of LED DRLs and an updated LED tail lamp mounted on the front apron. Some signature Maxi styling cues include a front-heavy faired body, a raised floorboard and a stepped-up pillion seat.

The scooter weighs a nimble 125kg and has an accessible seat height of 790mm. One interesting highlight is the placement of the scooter’s fuel filler cap which is positioned on a central ridge on its floorboard.
      Features on offer
      Speaking of features, Aerox 155cc scooter is equipped with a digital instrument console that is enabled with connectivity modules such as Bluetooth and Yamaha’s Y-Connect smartphone app. The latter allows users to connect their smartphones with the scooter and access a wide range of features such as last parking location, service schedules, malfunction notifications, mileage, etc.
      Apart from connectivity, the Maxi scooter from Yamaha offers all-LED lighting, a traction control system and 25-litre storage which can be accessed using a remote locking button. Other feature highlights include engine start-stop function, hazard lights and keyless start.

      Yamaha has launched the new generation R15 in India which has been officially named YZF R15 V4. The latest iteration of the entry-level supersport bike has got some serious styling updates over the outgoing model and also some crucial mechanical updates which make it sportier not just in looks but character as well.
      2021 Yamaha R15 V4 And R15M – Colours and Prices
      The new-gen R15 has also got a new range-topping M trim which bags some extra goodies as compared to the standard variant. It has also received some interesting colour schemes which lend the bike a fresh appeal. The new-gen model started arriving at dealerships across the country last month itself.

      It is a stark departure from the outgoing model’s dual-beam headlights. Further, Yamaha has also installed new body panels on the new R15. Other styling details include a redesigned tail section, revised fairings and a muscular fuel tank. New body graphics also enhance the bike’s sporty appeal. These include a special livery inspired by MotoGP Edition Monster Energy branding flashed across the front apron.
      The exhaust muffler appears to be stubbier than the one in its predecessor and gets a metallic finish. Due to the revised exhaust setup, footpegs for the pillion also have been repositioned. Colour-coded alloy wheels are another aesthetic addition in the new-gen R15 which accentuates its sporty credentials.
      Updated Mechanicals, Features
      Yamaha has finally heard the prayers of all biking enthusiasts from India and given the new-gen R15 a pair of golden-coloured USD forks upfront.

      2022 Yezdi Roadking And New ADV Motorcycle (Himalayan Rival) – Spied

      by

      New Yezdi ADV Spied – Royal Enfield Himalayan RivalClassic Legends, backed by Mahindra, currently manufactures Jawa branded motorcycle in India – They plan to launch Yezdi brand soon
      It seems Classic Legends have taken upon itself to revive iconic yesteryear motorcycle brands that have been left defunct for many years. They have sucessfully revived the Jawa brand with launch of two motorcycles. Next, they have plans to revive BSA and Yezdi brands. Of the two, BSA will focus on export markets like UK, while Yezdi will be launched in India.
      Motorcycles Under Yezdi Brand
      Earlier this year in March, the first test mule was spotted which is believed to be of the upcoming Yezdi Roadking. The same test mule has now been spotted by automotive enthusiast Shreya Patil and Abhijit Patil on the Mumbai – Pune highway. But along with the Roadking, another test mule has been spotted alongside. This one looks like a ADV motorcycle, which will rival the likes of Royal Enfield Himalayan.
      New Yezdi ADV Spied – Royal Enfield Himalayan Rival
      New Yezdi ADV motorcycle features an upright riding stance, spoked wheels, bigger front wheel, wider rear tyre, round headlamps, mountings to accommodate off-road accessories / panniers near the fuel tank as well as at the rear seat, digital instrument cluster, high ground clearance, front and rear disc brake with dual ABS, etc.
      Roadking test mule on the other hand, is being developed on the same lines as a scrambler. The bike could also sport the LED lighting at the front and rear, a digital console and dual channel ABS with raked telescopic front forks and front and rear disc brakes. Take a look at the spy video below. Hat tip to Suyog for sharing the video with Rushlane Spylane.
      [embedded content]
      Other features could include twin black gas shock absorbers, spoked wheels and circular shaped rear view mirrors. As seen on other scramblers in its segment, the new Jawa model could also receive tall set handlebars and rear set footpegs for a more upright riding stance. Colour options could include Grey, Maroon, Black.
      It is being speculated that Yezdi bikes will undercut their Jawa cousins which can leave a big impact on the modern retro motorcycle segment in India. The new Yezdi bikes can share several commonalities with its Czech counterparts like engine and platforms in order to keep production costs in check. It is also a possibility that both ranges of motorcycles are retailed under the same roof.
      The upcoming Yezdi motorcycles could be powered by the same engine which is on offer with Jawa motorcycles. This is in the form of 300cc single cylinder unit on offer with the Jawa and 42. It may also be powered by a larger 334cc engine that powers the Perak making 30 hp power. Both these engines will get mated to a 6 speed manual as standard.
      2022 Yezdi Roadking
      Legacy of Yezdi
      Yezdi was a famous motorcycle brand back in the 1970s and 80s which was developed by Ideal Jawa (India) Limited. The Mysore-based company sold licensed Jawa motorcycles in India from 1960 which was rebranded into Yezdi in 1973. The range offered under this brand consisted of models such as Monarch, CL 2, Roadking and 350 which were based on older two-stroke Jawa bikes. The motorcycles were discontinued in mid-1990s due to the arrival of stricter emission norms.
      If previous reports are also to be considered then Classic Legends might also develop and manufacture an electric motorcycle under the Yezdi moniker. With retro middleweight motorcycles being the talk of the town in recent times, manufacturers have realised that this segment might give them good returns in the long run. More

      New Honda Adventure Motorcycle (Sub 200cc) – With Africa Twin Styling

      by

      New Honda CRF190LAs compared to recently launched CB200X, Honda CRF190L will have better off-roading capabilities
      With growing interest in off-roading, there’s been an increased demand for adventure motorcycles. Newer riders usually prefer an affordable bike that can work as a commuter and tackle mild to moderate off-road tracks as well. For this segment, Honda will soon introduce CRF190L in China.
      New Honda Adventure Motorcycle (Sub 200cc)- CRF190L design
      The core silhouette and riding stance of Honda CRF190L looks familiar to that of Africa Twin. Some level of similarities can also be seen on the side fairing of both bikes. At the front, CRF190L has a flat-looking headlamp cowl. The front fascia looks a bit radical, as it’s quite different from conventional bikes. Other key features include a decent sized windscreen and circular rear view mirrors.
      As compared to CB200X that was recently launched in India, CRF190L has distinctive styling and features. For example, CB200X has a wider visor as compared to that of CRF190L. CB200X is essentially a road-biased off-roader, whereas CRF190L could deliver a much better off-roading experience. Making it possible are features such as long-travel suspension at the front, wire spoke wheels, and chunky dual purpose tyres.
      CRF190L has been equipped with standard telescopic forks whereas CB200X comes with USD forks in golden shade. Users can expect comfortable ride experience with the wide and ergonomically placed handlebar and curved seat design. At the rear, CRF190L has dedicated rack for carrying luggage.
      New Honda CRF190L
      In the image, the bike can be seen in dual-tone colour theme. At the time of launch, the bike could be offered in multiple single tone and dual-tone colour options. Sporty graphics in contrasting shade work to enhance the bike’s attractiveness. A number of parts have been blacked-out such as handlebar, levers, engine and swingarm.
      Honda CRF190L engine and specs
      Honda is yet to reveal details for CRF190L. It is likely that the bike will be using the same 184.4 cc, single-cylinder, air cooled motor as that of CB200X. It is capable of generating max power of 17 bhp at 8500 rpm and peak torque of 16.1 Nm at 6000 rpm. It is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. This engine also does duty on made-in-India Honda Hornet 2.0.
      CRF190L could get features such as all-digital instrument cluster. It could also be equipped with a range of smartphone connectivity features. Users can pair their smartphone with the console to access features such as navigation. The bike appears to have disc brakes at both ends. Single-channel ABS is expected to be offered as standard.
      It is expected that Honda CRF190L will be launched in China later this year. Based on response, it could be introduced in other markets as well such as Indonesia. Honda has already launched CB200X in India, so CRF190L is unlikely to make it here. More

      Hero MotoCorp To Launch Retro-Style Harley Davidson Motorcycle In India

      by

      Upcoming 300cc Harley DavidsonHarley Davidson and Hero MotoCorp entered into a partnership in October last year after the former exited the Indian market
      India’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer- Hero MotoCorp will soon tap into the premium segment of motorcycles by launching a retro-style bike with Harley Davidson branding. Around the same time last year, the latter quit sales and assembly operations in India after a decade-long unfruitful business in the country.
      The iconic American brand forged an alliance with the Indian two-wheeler giant in October last year. As per this alliance, the local firm will handle exclusive sales and distribution of Harley Davidson motorcycles, parts and merchandise in the country in the foreseeable future. However, there is more to this partnership than just distribution and retail.
      New Retro Motorcycle Under H-D Brand
      In an interaction with PTI, Hero MotoCorp CFO Niranjan Gupta revealed that there are two legs to the Harley tie-up strategy. The first one being the sales distributors for Harley motorcycles in India which currently includes 14 dealers in around 30 touchpoints. The second part of the strategy is to develop motorcycles indigenously which will carry the Harley Davidson nameplate. This will start with a new retro-style motorcycle, most probably in the mid-displacement segment.
      Gupta highlighted that the retro segment is almost one-third of the overall premium segment out of the profit pool. He further revealed that development of the upcoming motorcycle under the Harley Davidson brand is in full swing. As of now, there are no details available regarding the upcoming motorcycle but hopefully, in the near future some light is thrown on its development.
      File Photo
      Hero expects tie-up with Harley-Davidson would help it accelerate its presence in the premium motorcycle segment where it aims to establish a complete portfolio cutting across segments and engine capacities. Gupta further confirmed that Hero’s first electric two-wheeler will be launched next year.
      Harley Davidson Pan America 1250
      Earlier this year, Hero MotoCorp started accepting bookings for 13 Harley Davidson models in India with prices commencing at Rs 10 lakh and going up to Rs 35 lakh (both prices ex-showroom). Around 100 Harley-Davidson motorcycles, constituting the first batch assigned to the Indian market this year, have been completely pre-booked.
      Last month the American bikemaker launched Pan America 1250 in India which is the company’s first proper adventure motorcycle in its portfolio. The new Pan America has been priced at Rs 16.90 lakh for the base Standard variant and at Rs 19.19 lakh for the Special (both prices ex-showroom).
      Both variants come in with a range of colour options that include Gauntlet Gray Metallic, Vivid Black, River Rock Gray, Two-Tone Baja Orange / Stone Washed White Pearl. It directly competes against premium adventure motorcycles such as BMW R 1250 GS and Ducati Multistrada V4. More

      Atum Electric Motorcycle Maker Launches Solar Powered Charging Station

      by

      Atum Electric MotorcycleATUM Charge is the first universal EV Charging Stations for all EVs – It will also be the service station for Atumobile’s ATUM 1.0 electric motorcycle and an official test ride center
      With electric vehicles gaining a strong foothold in the country, the development of efficient charging stations is the need of the hour. The past year has seen launch of a range of electric vehicles, particularly in the two wheeler segment. This change has come about more particularly due to the urgent need for personal means of travel during the current pandemic situation and is also fueled by the ever rising prices of petrol and diesel.
      ATUM Charge, a 100 percent subsidiary of Visaka Industries Limited, seeks an environmentally friendly and sustainable eco system. The company has set up India’s first 100 percent self-sustaining solar powered electric charging station in Hyderabad.
      ATUM Charge is very different from a regular electric vehicle charging station. It uses ATUM, the world’s first Electricity Generating Integrated Solar Roof unlike other charging stations that use electricity produced by thermal power generation, which in itself is a source of pollution thus defeating the very purpose of cleaner and environmentally friendly power.
      ATUM Charge in Hyderabad
      Launched at SP Road, Secunderabad, Hyderabad, by Dr. G Vivekanand, Chairman, Visaka Industries Limited, ATUM Charge, apart from serving as a service station for Atumobile’s ATUM 1.0, a café racer styled e-bike and acting as a test ride center, will also cater to the charging demands for all electric vehicles. It will have free WiFi and workstations along with a satellite office.
      Mr Vamsi, Joint MD, with Atum at the Launch of Atum Charge
      These charging stations are powered by ATUM solar roof, generating 40 percent more electricity as compared to traditional solar panels. It can be installed in urban and rural areas and does not need any roof underlay. ATUM is Class-A fire rated and is hurricane proof, capable of tackling wind speeds of over 200 km/h. Built of GreenPro certified material, the charging panels are highly sustainable and reliable.
      ATUM Charging stations are made of Vnext board which are made fiber cement boards, more eco-friendly as compared to gypsum, wood or plywood. These Vnext products produce only 36 kgs of CO2 emissions as against 800 kgs produced by plywood and 1000 and 2000 kgs produced by cement or steel per tonne, thus making ATUM Charge more adept in conserving energy and preserving the environment.
      The company has installed 4 kW capacity panels which can charge upto 10-12 vehicles per day with a charging time of 6-8 hours for a 100 percent charge. It consists of 3 charging sockets. Additionally, the company will be installing 6 kW capacity allowing for charging upto 25-30 vehicles per day. Following the successful launch in the city of Hyderabad, similar charging facilities are being set up in cities of Chennai, Goa and Bangalore.
      Atum 1.0 electric motorcycle
      Atumobile Pvt. Ltd, Hyderabad recently introduced Atum 1.0 electric bike at Rs 49,999. It sports a minimalist styling and cafe racer look with sleek dual LED lamps, LED indicators and a flat and wide handlebar with a centrally positioned digital display in form of an instrument cluster.
      The e-bike receives a portable lithium-ion battery pack which takes 4 hours for a full charge. The 6 kg battery uses 1 unit of electricity to be charged 100 percent which means that the bike can travel 100 kms in just Rs 6-7. More
