Btw, BMW India did a market research while ago to see if its feasible to launch the 'Motorrad' wing in India. I have no clue about what their analysis was and I wont play the guessing game. I just feel good about the whole fact that the best in the motorcycle business are taking India very seriously now.

+1 . I heard the same thing from someone else - also in BMW.

I'm not holding my breath however - we seem to be endlessly waiting for many long overdue launches from bike manufacturers already!

Well, I had got a mail too regarding some info on Motorcycles from an acquaintance & as per him the info was needed for BMW.

if BMW launches the HP2 in India, I'll sell myself to buy one...

Guys ...

don't u think .. after hoping for good bike and seeing posters of superbikes finally when they arrive .. how many of us gonna guy it .. it hardly 2% of us.

practically .. fans like to spend around 2-3lac for good looking and good performance bike .. and if they got married then forget it .. the chances will be reduced to 10% from 90% probability of buying ..

i personally feel that if a good 250CC bike within <3lac price then surely i'll go for it .. provided it has some international styling and standards .. [personally i don;t like ninja 250 for some reason..which still i am searching]

Yes, BMW is seriously aiming the Indian Market. It is also in talks with an Indian Motorcycle Manufacturer for a possible alliance/partnership.

Pulser got smaller last year, so next upgrade would definitely be a bigger pulsar...R.Bajaj said the bigger Pulsar is on cards very soon and the technicals are in advanced stages yet, as is the news, Bajaj is finiding its tough to manage the heat produced by the new engines...even till 220cc engine, heating have been an major issue from Bajaj...Bajaj tried to cool down the engine with oil cooler and etc. but still the issue remains

Bingo!

That is the reason why they can't make a fully faired bike. If Bajaj launches a faired bike in near future, it will mostly be semi faired like the 220F.

And what would they be doing with that massive investment of the wind tunnel that they procured a few years back?

And haven't we been hearing on a liquid cooled system coming up as well

Hope they are working on modern chassis setups as no point in lowering the value of if they cant provide the right way of 'controlling/harnessing it' in a proper way.

What's up with the RTR "Hyper Edge"?
