Honda patents the Rebel 300 in India:

Honda Rebel 300 patented in India; will it be launched as Royal Enfield rival?





From the article: "Honda's new cruiser bike will be an all-new product with inputs from its R&D team from India."

Translation: it will probably be underwhelming garbage. So what engine size do you think they'll go for?

* 150 cc to compete directly with the new Suzuki Insulter - sorry, I mean Intruder 150.

* 75 cc commuter something

* 50 cc gearless scooter, cheapest and best

* Trick question, it will actually be a bicycle.

Vote now.

Re: Random News Thread From India!

My guess is they will go with the 250CC engine that they had with CBR250, yes it was not BS-IV complaint, hence it is not on showroom floors. But I guess it will be financially profitable for them to make it BS-IV and use it in the Rebel than using the 300CC engine. These are all guesses, but at least this looks like a possibility. And this also makes them price it in CBR250's price bracket and keep it under 2 lakh ex-showroom.

KTM Announces RC 390 ‘R’ Edition:

"KTM RC 390 R will be a souped-up iteration of the regular RC 390 which will feature several upgrades to make it a race track machine. But KTM will only produce 500 units of the RC 390 R in the global market. The KTM RC 390 R is explicitly developed for race track with new mechanical components. The new KTM RC 390 R will feature a host of updates such as fully adjustable WP suspension, new top yoke and handlebar kit for an aggressive riding position for committed riding and folding clutch and brake levers which does not break in case of a fall. Instead, the levers will flip out."

Mahindra set to start production of JAWA, BSA brand motorcycles in India:

http://www.ibtimes.co.in/mahindra-set-start-production-jawa-bsa-brand-motorcycles-india-763569

"In its return from the deathbed, the JAWA brand of bikes is primarily for emerging markets like India while Mahindra will sell BSA motorcycles in international markets. Although there is no specific information on the bikes in India, the new JAWA bikes are expected to carry classic bike design along with all the latest tech. In that case, it will go up against the Royal Enfield's wide range of cruiser and touring bikes in India."
