The 2010 Bike Launch Speculation Thread

[satyenpoojary]

Well! I recall even the R15 had rusting issues :P. I am more interested in seeing how much the korean bikes are priced wrt to the jap bikes, I still believe quality wise Hoysung can be compared to Bajaj & TVS. What say?

R15, rusting issues? It had wield rusts thing, which is both normal and not dangerous... with Hyosung we were talking about the entire tank, silencers getting rust!!

guys we should listen to the firing of Hoysung bikes first...It's like 10 fat old men farting at the same time

Its pretty ironic that when there was only a 'overpriced' ninja everyone cried on how and why M&M should get back the Comet and the 650... and now when there is news about it, people have begun bashing it!


PS: Have you heard a 848?

Guys: I would like to make 2 points:
1. The 650 is a Vtwin & you wont get the vroom of an inline 4.
2. Quality only comes at price.

Where are Hyosung bike will be/are being manufactured? Anyone here has any info..??
(I am sure that would definitely affetc the pricing....)

[kinshuk.arya]

the hyosung's gt650r is priced at somewhere around $6000 so if imported to india it would cost somewhere around 5.7l but i dont think it will find many buyers as its power output 72bhp as compared to the output of ninja 650, zx6r, r6 which all have power in excess of 110bhp....

i like what the V-Twin sounds like. specially at higher revs.

that extra 40 odd bhp comes with a price.
the ZX-6R and the R6 both cost $10,500... each ()
so you can only guess what they will cost when once actually they get here.
if and when.

it's prolly best not to compare the the GT650R with them.
spec, price or performance wise.

the Kwacker 650R tho seems similar to it in terms of horse power.

and if the GT650R is priced well...
the estimated 4 lac price tag estimated by Bike India seems possible...
i see the GT650 doing better than the Kawasaki 650R here.

Being Fully Faired n all. India.

New HIGH-END Pulsars!!!

Hey Guys, This just in.. From Business Standard..

Bajaj gears up to launch high-end Pulsars next yearSwaraj Baggonkar / Mumbai August 10, 2010, 1:27 ISTPrice factor The Ninja, assembled at the Chakan facility of Bajaj, is priced at Rs 2.8 lakh.
Meanwhile, Bajaj has phased out the Discover 135 motorcycle, succeeded by the more powerful Discover 150, at a price tag almost on par with the outgoing model.

[veryhiphop]

The Pulsar 220 was first launched in the middle of 2007, at close to Rs 82,000. The company later brought it down to Rs 70,000, with changes to engine technology.

BHP increase karne se engine technology change nahin ho jaati...Also, they removed the Fi unit....

hmm waiting for a 250cc Pulsar with DTSi and dual silencers

[kinshuk.arya]

no more pulsars....... please..... it already has so many variants.... i think if they are going for a 250 c.c. or more capacity bajaj should do something more like a fresh new design and ore importantly a new brand, a new name....

I thought modifying the Combustion Chamber Design and Port geometry along with a change in Fuel supply system could be classified as changes in 'Engine technology'. But it doesn't seem to be the case though..

I dont think thats gonna happen as the brand 'Pulsar' is way more famous than the brand 'Bajaj'. They will surely wanna leverage on the fact and keep that name as that would attract more customers.

Changing the name and build will always raise questions in a general buyer's mind.

P.S : Here am not talking about people like us as we are hardly 2% of the crowd

P.P.S : Having said that, if they get the new machine with the 4-valve technology, that would be a welcome change for everyone...Eyes on you bajaj
