Not 2013, its coming in 2014 most probably.Originally posted by veryhiphop View PostGreat news....so we shall have a new 250cc bike in coming year....

They're bringing 375cc mills next year. Maybe in 2014, they'll bring out 500 cc mills. Then Hero will bring 250s... And I doubt it'll perform at par with a N250R. Lets wait and watch.Originally posted by Satyamzma View PostSo should i start saving for Kawasaki Ninja ZZR 1400 ????

re: Hero Moto Corp ties up with Erik Buell for technology: xBhp News
People here seem to be obsessed with high powered bikes but india in general still rides frugal. Also 1L,2L etc is still a big amount to buy bikes for commuting. And 100 or 150 is not gonna die so soon also technology improvement also still leaves a lot to be desired even in this segments.
Ninja and cbr are not yet commuter bikes are they?
So i think forget 250 hero even has scope for more 150's

exactly that's what i was about to post..In India 250cc segment is just starting to evolve..though Hero is a bit late but even then what all options we have in that segment..N250(which is too costly)..D200(belongs to a different segment)..that leaves only CBR250R as an option which also is in premium segment even after being a VFM bike..so Hero can still hold a good position if he bring something exceptional/powerful product in this segment..Originally posted by drifter View PostPeople here seem to be obsessed with high powered bikes but india in general still rides frugal.

Hero knows how to play the game well....... By the time it brings in the 250cc, this would have been the premium mass segment.(Like the current 150 CC segment). Hence higher profit margin.HH Dawn - TVS Star City - Yamaha Gladiator - TVS RTR 180 - Honda CBR 250R - Yamaha R3

unfortunately the 100-150 CC segment demands everything cheap and it is not very easy....5 years down the line, you may see P200 tech flowing down to smaller bread and butter pulsar models like P150 & 180.Originally posted by drifter View PostPeople here seem to be obsessed with high powered bikes but india in general still rides frugal.

Quite realistic, and logical prediction....Originally posted by princesirohi View Postunfortunately the 100-150 CC segment demands everything cheap and it is not very easy....5 years down the line, you may see P200 tech flowing down to smaller bread and butter pulsar models like P150 & 180.sigpicRelationships change, evolve, and it goes deep.
Only thing I can say - "The storm is coming"

Why do we think that there will be no other 250 cc bike by the time Hero launches their own.
Bajaj might be definetly working on the lower end motorcycle on their new 375 cc platform. Rumors on TVS 250 never end.
Suzuki might launch their 250 cc bike in Indian which is already launched in other countries. Many others like Triumph and Hyosung are already working on bikes in this segment for India. So expect this segment to be flooded very soon before Hero is ready in 2014.

The Suzuki 250 makes less power than Duke (almost same as 200NS) and is heavier than 200NS. I don't see it making any substantial sales in India unless it is priced at par with R15 / ZMR or slightly lower, something thats highly unlikely. No wonder Suzuki is in no hurry to launch the bike in India.Originally posted by s_hari View PostWhy do we think that there will be no other 250 cc bike by the time Hero launches their own.

Going by time-lines and schedules, Hero might as well get their 250 on the road well before Yamaha does so thats something to be excited about
