2009 Speculation thread: What bikes could be launched?

[kriss]

@Kenda-Honda doesn't need to bring anything exciting because they are silent killers. They killed Bajaj in scooter segment. Now they are selling the max in 125cc. Next year they will come with 100cc and HH will see a true competitor.

@mg: are u sure on this ?? Honda taking over the 125cc segment ??

How many 125 cc bikes do honda have ??

Shine and Stunner

Did these two takeover the market ??

They killed Bajaj in scooter segment.

^^Snuck in the speculation train have we Kriss?
I have absolutely no idea how much the RS125 would cost. Im sure Ken da would be able to deliver a pretty decent guess.

[dushyant]

i agree with you pads, either wait for the ninja or upgrade to the 220. anyways the 220 upgrade is supposed to hit showrooms in the next months.

@Sukant: The OT's are actually helping to bring some sense into this thread man
And yes, there is one lone flaw as Aprilia does make 125's too which coincidentally will out-price and out-perform all the Indian 'performance' vehicles.

AAAARRRGGH !!
How cud I forget the Aprillia 125. Too bad thats 2-stroke and can't be launched in India !!

[dushyant]

the probiking showroom guy told me that the new 220 will have a design change too. i was wondering whether bajaj might be trying something with the xenophya designs which were leaked on the net????

[MG]

@Kriss-Yamaha hardly sell any Gladiator.HH sells Glamour and SuperSplendor but anyone can make that their numbers are far far less than Shine.Bajaj don't have anything in 125cc.Flame is a similar story as Gladi.

[ken cool]

n if Ninja launches within this year, I'll the one of the first people to get the delivery...... m waiting for it for too long..

Good. Then there will be at least two of us. And I know that there will be plenty more, at least initially, recession notwithstanding.

@pads: Are u sure about getting ninja ??

If he wakes up, he will.

Not allowed. Its a 2st!

Are you sure about this?

@Bandhav: MG says HH is outselling Bajaj in the 125cc segment. I know this. But would like to if the margin is significant. What is your take?

[MavericK46]

@Satyen:
Execute: LATHICHARGE
Recepient: Satyen


@Bandhav: True, but the latest sales figures seem to be in favor of Honda and that too HMSI right?

[MG]

No idea about Platina.There is hardly any difference between the 100 and 125so very difficult to say who is riding which one.

@Bandhav-XCD125 is still on sale?I didn't knew that.Thanks for enlightning.
