That escalated way too quickly. It was just yesterday I read that there is a brand named Eider motors.

Wrong News! Only "Electra" word is changed to Bullet 350 ES

Here is the right one--

Royal Enfield Electra not discontinued; renamed as Bullet 350 ES | Motoroids

Benelli TRK 502 India Launch Postponed to January 2017

The adventure tourer from DSK Benelli - TRK 502 that was supposed to be launched in India in September will now arrive with a bit of delay. Some recent reports on the internet suggest that this motorcycle will now be launched in the country by January 2017. The Benelli TRK 502 will be the first adventure tourer by the brand for the Indian two-wheeler market. The bike was showcased at the 2015 EICMA in Milan, Italy last year and gained a decent amount of appreciation from the visitors followed by its India showcase at the 2016 Auto Expo.

Powering the Benelli TRK 502 will be a newly developed 500cc, parallel twin engine that will come mated to a six-speed transmission. The engine cranks out a maximum power output of 47 bhp along with a peak torque of 45 Nm. The braking duties will be carried out by 320mm dual disc brakes at the front along with a single 260mm disc unit at the rear. The Benelli TRK 502 will ride on Pirelli Angel 120/70 R17 front and 160/60 R17 rear tyres that offer a decent grip on both, on and off road and come mounted over 17-inch spoke wheels.

Coming to the design philosophy, the Benelli TRK 502 resembles with the appearance of the Ducati Multistrada and features the same beak type section for the fender at the front. Once launched, the Benelli TRK 502 will take on the likes of Kawasaki Versys 650 in the Indian two-wheeler market. Talking of price, expect the bike to come at a sticker price of somewhere above INR 5 lakh. Benelli will also launch its first full faired motorcycle - 302R in India in the first quarter of 2017. The bike was showcased at the 2016 Auto Expo earlier this year in February and was supposed to be launched somewhere around this Diwali.

They have postponed the release of Tornado 300 too December to give it compulsory ABS for all bikes. So everyone has to wait a bit longer. The thing now is this will push the launch of TNT 135 and Leoncino further back in 2017.
