Honda CB Uniorn Dazzler (Where is CBR150?)

Was it a wise decision that Honda revived Unicorn or Introduced CBR150R.

What is the Strategy behind it?

Well! According to me iit is a wise decision.

Honda CB dazzler is more probably an typical indian bike, which combines a nominal power and better fuel efficiency, which is a plain vanilla which most of the riders prefer.

CBR150R is a super sportr bike which targets indian youths who has passion for speed. If cbr150 was launched it would have been the fastest 150cc bike of india with top speed of 150+kmph.

On the other side, there has been a long time cry from unicorn lovers that an upgraded unicorn would have satisfied them.

So it is even better to upgrade existing bike rather than to introduce a new bike.

But honda needs to take care of the waiting time that makes most of the customers to get diverted to other bikes.

Cheers!!!

Kawasaki Ninja Marching its troops into India

Following Ninja 250, Kawasaki is all set to action to introduce a variety of sports bike into the Indian Market.

Yes Obviously it's true...

After the success of Ninja 250R which eventually rocked roads, but due to its higher price for a lower capacity bike prevented many to go for Lesser priced R15, Pulsar or just go a step beyond and buy higher end bikes.

After looking into the thirst for higher end bikes in the Hearts of Indians, Kawasaki wanted to quench the thirst by introducing its further ninjas (bigger than 250c). The most expected was the 650R.

Definitely 650R is going to be priced above 4Lacs which will be too costly for most of us, but still who wants power to rock around will not be a deal for them.

To be frank, there is no objection from the Govt. for driving these monsters on our roads provided we follow proper traffic rules.

Also plan for getting Z750 and Z1000 are also confirmed by Kawasaki.

The question is CKD Kits (Completely Knocked Down kits) can be brought at a price of nearly 1.5 Lacs (estimated) for Ninja 250 to be imported to india but the bike costs more than 2.5Lacs. So its again a onfusion that prices would make the bikes unreachable by customers.

Why can't Kawasaki has its own Marketing Zone in India?

Its not my question, its probably the question from all the Kawasaki fans of India...

Lets expect for the best.

Cheers!!!

Yamaha - invading Indian Market

Yamaha is all set to start it action to invade Indian market. After getting 44% increase in sales of bikes particularly from performance set of motorcycles R15, FZ16 and Fazer.

Yamaha now wanted to conecentrate on the lower end motorcycle and for the same reason yamaha is all about to launch two new variants - SZ and YBR to revamp the 100cc and 125 cc segment motorcycle sales.

Currently the 100cc segment of Yamaha has Alba, Libero and G5 to which the newer and hotter YBR is going to enter with its fine tuned engine for rugged performance to manage heavy loads concentrating the rural market more.

Yamaha SZ will replace the Gladiator which was one among the respected 125cc motorcycle. So the successor will need to have all the qualities of the Gladiator and Yamaha was more cautious with that. Apart from that a more sportier look which will further enhance the youth to go for the SZ without any second thought.

Gladiator was ruling the 1st position in the 125cc motorcycle performance until the launch of CBF Stunner Fi from Honda.

But Gladiator had the best price for the performance and fuel efficiency it provided.


Lets see whether the new variants increase the sales of the Yamaha is true.

Cheers!!!

Mahindra Rodeo - Feel the Power of Scooter

The All new "Mahindra RODEO" is all set to action and it is now ready to rock Indian roads with an super fast 125cc bike.

Mahindra has took a bold step and introduced the scooter in the power bike segment, it was astonishing that the bike was able to produce much better figure in terms of Output power and torque better than most of its rivalries.

The most advanced feature in this bike is the console which has been powered with multi colored lights. Also it provides most of the options that we have in car. Also USB port/Charger is provided to keep our Gadgets charged on the move.

Also the bike allows more storage space since only 4.5Ltrs is your fuel tank capacity and is also present in the front.

Specifications:

1. Engine Capacity: 124.6cc
   
2. Engine Type: 4- Stroke, Air cooled
   
3. Output power: 8Bhp @7000rpm
   
4. Engine Torque: 9nm @5500rpm
   
5. Top Speed: 85Kmph
   
6. Gear: Automatic transmission
   
7. Mileage: 53Kmpl (+or -)2kmpl
   
8. Fuel Capacity: 4.5Ltrs
   
9. Weight: 106kgs

Even when the bike has lesser output power the est torque and automatic gear system makes it to reach 0 to 60kmph in just 6.8 secs which is not a simple figure in terms of pick up.

It seems Mahindra want to rok two wheeler market how Bajaj wanted to rock car market.

Cheers!!!

Bajaj Pulsar 150 2010 - Tuned Speed Machine

Hurray!!! Bajaj is going to come up with its New Pulsar 150.

Not just rumors, the bike is ready and ready to be launched by March 2010.

The expected specifications of the bike are:

Output Power : 15.1 bhp @8500rpm
Engine Torque: 13.5 nm @5500rpm
Top Speed : 125kmph

It seems clip-on handle bars and thicker forks will also be a part of the features to be implemented.

But only thing Bajaj misses with this bike is mileage. it seems it is lesser than the previous version even though "Swirled Induction" Mechanism was implemented in this model.

Bajaj is going to do it again and revamp the market and going to take its position back in 150cc segment.

Cheers!!!

TVS Jive - Hands free in automobile

TVS Jive, the new comer for the TVS Automobile, is the first entry towards Hands-free (Clutch-free) two wheeler segment.

It has been a strong competition in India in the two wheeler segments with the giants (Yamaha, Suzuki and Honda) rocking the market. Questions arose whether our Indian manufacturers will survive. But as an immediate action Indian manufacturers Bajaj and TVS placed some strategy that is nothing but innovation.

Bajaj and TVS has been constantly innovating and Jive is also a result of innovation.

The Jive bike is an intermediary between Scooter and bike, but the convenience of Bike and driving experience will be just like scooter changing its gear automatically.

The Bike offers a very good output power and pickup. Hence the performance is also not an issue.

Specifications:
Engine Displacement: 109.7cc
Engine Type: 4 Stoke, Air cooled, T-Matic
Output Power:8.4Bhp@7500rpm
Engine Torque: 8.3nm@5500rpm
Weight: 105Kgs
Gear: 4-speedT-Matic Gears
Top Speed: 98Kmph(approx.)
Mileage: >70Kmpl

Due to its good looking and revolutionary T-Matioc gears. the bike would be an real success. Also the T-Matic not only just decreases the lead time for the gear shift, the bike also performs well in terms of pickup because of it.

Cheers!!!

Kawasaki Ninja ZX14 - Green Super Sport

Kawasaki Ninja ZX14 comes under the Hyper sports category with a stunning appearance and aggressive riding position, the bike fits more or less all category of bike enthusiasts.

The ZX14 being the best one in terms of torque (Engine pickup) far better than Hayabusa, it falls down when it comes for the Top Speed category (Output Power), that's the reason why ZX14 misses the no.1 position.

but ZX14 becomes no.1 in fuel efficiency. It consumes less fuel than other competitors. Even Honda which has announced that its will not cross 300Kmph, cannot provide a good mileage which is provided by ZX14. (source: Wikipedia)

Specifications:
Displacement: 1352cc
Engine Type: 4 stroke, DOHC, Liquid Cooled, Fuel injected
Output Power: 140Bhp@11000rpm
Engine Torque: 155nm@7500rpm
Top Speed: above 300Kmph (364Kmph - from third party tests)

The bike is expecting to be launched in India in the third quarter. Also sources says that the bike will be priced less than 10Lacs (Hayabusa is sold at 11.5 Lacs)

Cheers!!!

BMW Bikes in India

It is well known all around the world that BMW will intorduce its ikes where it has already launched cars.

Best example is Netherlands, when the BMW launched the cars in the country, the bike sector of BMW made a study and introduced the bikes that suits them.

The same case now runs in India. BMW is much satisfied with India than expected in the car segment so the plans for Bike segment is also started. The Conceptualization is about to be completed.

It is expected that BMW could launch 600cc bikes in India. other resources also say that BMW is the company which concentrates on success and hence R&D for a cruiser bike with 300cc Engine is being prepared especially for Indian roads.

Whatever may be the product, Indians are ready to welcome BMW bikes into India.

Cheers!!!

Pulsar 200 Fi - Definitely Wins the Race

i


The All new Pulsar 200Fi is going to be launched with the Pulsar 220 frame.

Except the Pulsar 200's concept of Full Black(Engine and Alloys).

The Bike is said to be released within the June End.

The Bike seems to be priced around the price of Apache RTR180. So people who wanted to get a good bike at lesser price will choose either 180 or 200.

Also there is a delusion whether pulsar will implement Fuel Injection in 200cc bikes since the Pulsar 220 is said to have an serious R&D and was going to be completely upgraded into an Super Sports bike.

Specifications:

1. Displacement: 198.8cc
   
2. Engine Type: 4-Stroke, SOHC, (Fuel injector / carburetor -in delusion)
   
3. Output Power: 18.6Bhp@8500rpm
   
4. Engine Torque: 17.7rpm@6000rpm
   
5. Fuel Capacity: 15Ltrs
   
6. Gear: 5 Speed
   
7. Weight: 134kgs(dry)/149Kgs(wet)
   
8. Top Speed: 130Kmph( if - Fi comes into action it is expected 135Kmph)
   

Pros:

1. Body of Pulsar 220
2. Heart throbbing Torque up gradation
   
3. Top Speed ensured to cross 130kmph

Cons:

1. More noisier than previous one (but it is lovable, not all the times)
2. Bajaj could have tried for a new style instead of upgrading bikes to older one itself
3. Speedo error are expected to come like other bikes

What ever may e the cons , pulsar has the good name among the Indians and it will surely succeed in sales, so no problem with sales.

But Bajaj has to take the serious up gradation immediately to survive in the market. else it would diminish in the current competition.

Cheers!!!
