If 2018 is anything to go by, 2019 promises to be a whole lot bigger and better for two wheels. Not only will we be getting our first officially legal Japanese 600cc supersport, we can also expect the adventure game to step up a few notches. Here’s what each big bike manufacturer has in store. Ducati There is a whole host of products lined up from Ducati as the Bologna-based manufacturer will be bringing their entire 2019 range of motorcycles to India.

  With the year drawing to a close, it is now time to take a look at what the future holds for us. We list down some of the most anticipated motorcycles from Rs 2 to 5 lakh, which are supposed to roll out next year. 7) Yamaha MT-03 Expected Launch - mid-2019 Expected Price - Rs 3 lakh (ex-showroom) Along with the 2019 Yamaha R3 , the Japanese brand might also bring its naked sibling the MT-03 . The motorcycle sports an imposing design with its beefy tank, a petite tail lamp and an exposed frame. The MT-03 gets the same underpinnings and engine as the R3, but in a more street-friendly package. For example, unlike the R3, the riding posture here is more upright and comfortable with a flat and wide handlebar, instead of clip-ons. Considering the Yamaha R3 is priced at Rs 3.49 lakh, expect the MT-03 to be Rs 30,000-40,000 cheaper.  6) Royal Enfield Scrambler 500 Expected Launch - early 2019 Expected Price - Rs 2 lakh Some time in June this year, what looked like a Scrambler vers

Hence, two-wheeler manufacturer are moving towards developing e-scooters and bikes which will fuel the transportation industry of tomorrow. Since scooters are the most preferred day-to-day mode of transport in India, here’s a
