2009 Speculation thread: What bikes could be launched?

[MG]

well according the guys over at team bhp, seems the new 220 is going to be a Carb and the prototype is hitting speeds of 145 kmph.

This is the third time a very similar news have come.

I visited team-bhp and the guy says Fi is out and carb is in.Somehow this sounds completely bogus to me.

I would agree with it sounding bogus, since it would take away one of the unique selling points of the P220. Not to mention the fact that Bajaj already has the technology, it's more likely they would be introducing it on more models than to actually remove it from their flagship motorcycle. Then again, one never knows what these guys are going to do. (I for one would terribly disappointed if they dropped FI from the P220)

I dont know if you guys realised.... but now that the P200 looks like the P220, I guess people are seeing the P200 tests and calling it the P220....

EDIT: It was anyways said that the P200 will be in both carb and an FI variants... so maybe this is it!

New GSX-R 125

new little brother in the GSX-R family. Suzuki GSX-R 125

By it looks it is completely the copy of its larger siblings which GSX-R 750 (which is welcome).

Well last time when i saw a article about this bike on BS Motoring when it was going to be made they (BS Motoring) said that Suzuki can also consider this bike for India, well we are waiting for it.

Basically Suzuki has planned this bike for the European market for the learners.
According to news, the Suzuki GSX-R 125 is a sea worthy with an exclusive new engine chilling changeful 15 horses transferal in unswerving intention with the predecessor Honda CBR 125 R and the past Yamaha YZF-R125. Last time the Suzuki GSX-R 125 have not expressed its design and its toll is plainly not yet famed. Still, Suzuki is renowned for his ravening rates, it is hoped that this small sports bike will be displayed at a lower value (price).

Well as of now i don't have the official specs regarding this bike.

^^I guess P200Fi is always a "khayali pulao" and nothing more.

If its a P200 being tested then what about the other piece of news which says 145 and all?

That's why I said I don't believe the news.

May be it is the P200 that goes 145 on the speedo!
Then there will be the P220 with some small chota mota mod jobs as it will be fastest and more economical with the FI.... Makes a lil bit of sense...

Congratulations to all the top spectaculators. Now only if the manufacturers look at them in kind light and grant them their dream machines.

[pads]

yes you are saying right but dude you can surely have look on the road you will finds cars without ABS majorly. well about the ABS in bike it will take time to come (long time).

Let me tell you that why the pace of Indian bikes is very slow because in
Indian most of the peoples buys bikes of their daily purposes they want average, low price that's it. and the rest of people who can buy expensive bikes they look for the looks in bike power is secondary to them (eg why Apache RTR sales is not going up why FZ selling like hot cakes coz in India people in any terms goes on looks whether its a bike, a cloth or a girl too). in northern india Apache RTR sales isnt impresive at all.

I think you misinterpreted my question....... of course we see many cars without ABS....... but all comes in small car segment specially B-segment....... but is it possible that you are seeing D-segment vehicles....... do you see BMW or Audi or anything........ do you find a B-segment vehicle costing more than D-segment and another is almost ready for launch........ was it possible even 5 years back........ many models were launched within these 5 years....... so all of a sudden our Indian people wanted to buy all these expensive vehicles thus creating the market for four-wheelers.......
ok now lets come back to two-wheeler industry......... it may be little older or younger than 4-wheeler industry......... but then 2-wheeler industry boomed........ we had so many bikes which are legends till date (I know its 2-stokers)........ they jumped from 100cc to 350cc........ but all of a sudden a monster appeared called pollution and all the development seized........ we took another path and it took many years to shift from 100cc to 150cc (4-stroke)....... and even we have 150cc for so many years its taking even more to take the next leap........

so am I clear about the point....... lets elaborate a little........ we have Maruti or Tata showroom in every town of India....... but how many towns have Honda(even it may have)........ but how many Mers or Audi or BMW showrooms we have in Indian cities....... that means these vehicles have limited market in limited cities (cauz even every man in city is not having these brands)........ so if these cos. can survive upon such small piece of cake and making good profit (last year I think, Audi made a jump of around 200% in its sales even in recession market)....... but we have bike showroom of every brand in every big towns (except PBK)........

till now I'm not clear......... ok BMW laucnhed big bikes way back in late 90s' (if I remember corectly)....... it was a flop....... then Kinetic came with two small Dinosaurs........ they were not such a hit but it sold in India (n later co. got sold )....... it might be there strategic mistake and I'm not qualified enough to answer......... even you are taking the example of Apache........ there are places where u'll see who is the real competitor of Pulsar........ every product has its market........ now Yamaha is killing every competition n of course looks matters....... but performance has its place....... in no way can TVS compete with Yamaha and it has real problem competing with Bajaj also....... when I wanna fight, I'll take my best warrior........ so who is TVS best warrior........

so my point is not that........ we are not getting any option of any sort (except for litre class)....... what if we have option....... then will market be the same........ I told earlier also, its like zebra n penguins........

enough of talking after lunch ......

I can't believe this either! Sarvajit and Sukant beat me to it!!!

No, actually I can't believe it that statistics can be so misleading. I am essentially as SP says, a speculation buster! Trying to guide this into "real, genuine" speculation if such a thing exists today in India's motorcycling industry.

I visited team-bhp and the guy says Fi is out and carb is in.Somehow this sounds completely bogus to me.

This sounds only part bogus to me. Which means that this does have a part truth to it. Which means that there is a chance that a Carb model 220 is probably in the offing.

^^+1 ...... but you doubting the abilities of Xbhpianssssssss.......

That's why I said I don't believe the news.

till now its just a news and not a reality ..........
