2012 Bike Launch Speculation Thread

[prateek2210]

^^ That's one of the hated websites in the 2-wheeler world (IMO), no sense in what they publish.
Coming to the facts they stated . Read this :

[SVI] What is the arrangement with KTM?

[RB] The Duke 125 is completely done in our plant here and is exported to European market. We'll be launching them here too

[SVI] What model of Duke are you planning to launch? Is it the 200?

[RB] Yes. We'll first launch the Duke 200 here. It is an awesome bike and it will shake up the market

Its to cut the cost , that's it. If its getting imported to Europe that means its going to be of good quality. And by the way R125 was specially designed for Europe under their strict norms


P.S : I am not a bajaj fan

I dont think these are Cafe racer from RE. They are missing those important bits (like rearsets, clubman handle or clipon's) which are must for any factory cafe bikes.

This is just another mod by some person according to his taste.

any news on the Ducati 1199 Panigale s

I heard news about the cafe racer concept quite a long time ago... i hope it doesn't end up like the mojo...
Basically i was expecting a cruiser or upgraded classic(with better top end)...

Cafe racer-inspired bike expected in 2012
At the 2010 auto expo RE displayed a cafe racer. However at that time, the bike was said to be just a one-off piece for the expo.

Now, RE has indicated they will introduce a new cafe racer model based on the bullet in 2012. The bike is reportedly in development stage and expected to be shown during auto expo 2012. Also RE is apparently working with European chassis maker for the frame.

RE will also introduce a scrambler version of the bike.

Bike India is not a reliable source, but i'm eagerly waiting for the 2012 auto show, i hope they have a proper update for the current classic series.

Hi guys. Yesterday I got some snaps of the bike by Yamaha in one of the dealers showroom. Specifications when asked to one of the mechanic turn out to be secret. But seeing the Engine I cant guess it to be more than 100CC.

This is also directed at Tibby.

I would love to know where this is from. The bike with the white wheels is the PW50, and is explicitly sold as a beginner/childrens bike in the US. It has no gearshift, and an adjustable throttle stop, so little riders can get used to the bike without being overwhelmed. I would very much like to buy one of these for my kid, so would appreciate any and all details on locating it.

The larger bike is either the TTR50 or the TR110, which are aimed at more experienced children who can operate a gearshift.

what increment in power out can we expect from the new pulsar 150s, 180s and others (if there are coming)?
