21 BHP

i fully agree to your point but if you look at the mass population of people out there who can at max afford a r15 or a karizma, its about those people here and there are many of them in XBHP who come from middle class families have not good paying jobs as yours but has a passion for biking and needs a good machine which is affordable at the same time gives performance.

Agree mee too!! ....and currently only Bajaj is doing it to some extent. Performance and affordability you see..

Is there any news about new bike in commuter and cruiser section coming in near future in 200cc and above power over 20bhp.

The Pulsar 220 meets all your requirements.

Th point i am trying to convey is if we have something like a 400 cc bike which has a 40-60 bhp power and can be used for daily commuting to office, weekend rides, highway blasts and can easily tour to leh something like the zma does and that too within a affordable range of <2 lakhs, then i am sure whichever company launches this will be the king of the 2 wheeler market as the models will make the customer feel like a full VFM .

Stop dreaming, dude.

Even the ninja 250 costs about 2 lakhs abroad.

We do not talk here about what people overseas sells and buy...I agree with @srinathrao. a 400cc bike why not in bracket of 1.8-2.2L... I dont say if such bike is launched it should/would cost 2 lakh but I wont be surprised if Bajaj brings such machine in near future in that price bracket!!

Well, how is this possible when we have almost negligble market for 400cc bikes.

i would say the negligible market is because there are no 400's.... launch the cbr 400 in say a bracket of 3.5-4 and see the sales go sky rocketing....

The ninja is 2 lakhs abroad because of the high cost which goes in its manufacturing right but if bajaj can launch the pulsar 220 within the range of 80k why cant we expect a 400 cc in 2 lakhs

@riazmomin, Was there any market for the Rd350 when it was launched, but the bike created a era and its followers which we all know, and by the way negligible market and all can be changed if something like a 400cc is launched in the budget of 2 lakhs, which should have the iconic presence like the rd350.

Any news for the ninja 650r & z750?

[Aravind]

sorry to interrupt the flow...any new info on the soon to be launched?? rtr hyperedge...

[xionite]

i'd pick a CBR400RR over the Kawa650R or the GT650R...

just for the way it makes me smile.

Pulser220 is not a commuter bike.it is sport style bike.hh karizma is a commuter bike but it is at lower power bracket.my point was new bike with latest techs. in comfortable long journey purpose.
