KTM stole the show last week by launching as many as four big bikes from its international portfolio. Most of the other updates were about upcoming bikes from TVS and Royal Enfield. In case you aren’t up to date with these developments, here’s a round-up.

BSA has unveiled the scrambler version of the Goldstar 650 at the Birmingham Motorcycle Live show. It is called the B65 Scrambler and is likely to come to the Indian shores next year.

Austrian manufacturer Brixton Motorcycles has entered India with as many as five two-wheelers. One of these is the Crossfire 500 X which is a modern-classic roadster. It is a more road-biased sibling of the Crossfire XC scrambler and priced at Rs. 4.74 lakh, ex-showroom.

After we broke the story about the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 being on its way to get a bigger 750cc engine, a new café racer, seemingly based on the same platform, was recently spied testing. Once launched, this might replace the existing Continental GT 650.

Kawasaki has significantly reduced the price of its flagship sportbike, the Ninja ZX-10R, in India. The ex-showroom price of the motorcycle has gone down by Rs. 1.14 lakh and it costs Rs. 17.34 lakh now.

ABS and traction control are lean-sensitive now Triumph has unveiled the 2025 model of the Tiger Sport 660 in the international markets.

Recall issued for bikes produced between February-October 2022

A major chunk of potential electric two-wheeler buyers are concerned about the life of the EV’s battery. It’s justified considering almost 70 per cent of the vehicle’s cost is that of the battery which means, if the need be, replacing the battery is an expensive affair. To address this concern, Ather Energy has announced its new extended battery warranty package called Eight70.

Royal Enfield has unveiled a new bronze colour option for the Guerrilla 450 at the ongoing Motoverse festival in Goa. This paint scheme will be available from January 2025 onwards and will be sold alongside the existing colours of the Guerrilla which includes Brava Blue, Yellow Ribbon, Gold Dip, Playa Black, and Smoke. The prices of the motorcycle start from Rs. 2.39 lakh and go up to Rs. 2.54 lakh, ex-showroom.

The last week was filled with new two-wheeler launches, courtesy of Royal Enfield Motoverse taking place in Goa, besides Brixton entering India with five motorcycles.
