BMW S 1000 RR Pro Same Price Other Options

It was a pleasant surprise to find out that one needed to pay a small premium for the new BMW S 1000 RR over its predecessor. The 2019 edition of BMW’s litre-class rocket packs in some new tech as well as more electronic goodies. And going by the pricing of its variants, we feel that the Pro version is what will be highly in demand. What makes each variant special, we have already done a story here. But for now, we shall be looking at what else is available for roughly the same amount of money as you would pay for the Pro variant.

Naturally, some of its litre-class rivals make the cut but for that you will have to wait for our spec comparison, coming shortly. Until then, here’s what else that commands a similar price tag:

1. Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic - Rs 19.79 lakh
Harley-Davidson revolutionised the Softail family with a taut chassis and Showa suspension components. The result was evident with the way its largest cruiser, the Heritage Classic, handles bends. Finally, Harleys could corner. The Heritage is everything one wants from a Harley cruiser. A torquey V-twin motor? Check. Relaxed ergos? Check. Needless to say, it is one of our most fun-to-ride Harley motorcycle.

2. BMW R 1250 GS Pro - Rs 20.05 lakh
BMW stepped up its game as the big daddy of the adventure world got more cee cees, more power and more importantly more torque. The R 1250 GS was amongst the first Beemers to get the ShiftCam technology, even before the 2019 S 1000 RR. It does its best to intimidate any mortal but once you are on the saddle, she is perhaps one of the easiest adventure motorcycles to ride anywhere.

3. MV Agusta F3 800 RC - Rs 21.99 lakh
We said no litre-class supersports in this list and we mean it as the MV Agusta F3 800 RC is only a 798cc inline three cylinder motorcycle. This being the Reparto Corse version (MV’s homologation special bikes carry the RC moniker), the F3 gets a ‘Racing Kit’ which bumps up the power to 153PS! It is still quite pricey for a sub-litre-class sportbike but you are paying for exclusivity. There will only be 6 such models sold in India, one of which has already been sold.

4. Ducati Multistrada 1260 Pikes Peak - Rs 21.42 lakh
Another adventure motorcycle? Sure, the Ducati Multistrada 1260 can get away with doing light off-roading but not the Pikes Peak edition. This particular version of the big Multi gets proper road-spec gear to eat corners for breakfast. The bike comes in the same livery that won Ducati the 2018 edition of the legendary Pikes Peak Hill Climb event. The 2019 edition will take place this Sunday with Ducati fielding in a Streetfighter V4 prototype and not an improved Multistrada 1260. Hence, this is likely to be the last Multistrada Pikes Peak edition that we are ever going to get.

All prices, ex-showroom India.

Breaking Down BS6 Carburettors And Fuel Injection Explained

  It’s now been nearly 4 months since BS6 emission norms came into effect, and almost all the bikes and scooters sold in India have been updated to meet the stricter regulations. Most recent among these to receive the updates was the TVS Scooty Zest BS6 , which was launched a couple of days ago at Rs 58,640. Like all the BS6 updates we’ve seen so far, this new version is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor, by around Rs 6,000 in this case. And the biggest reason behind these price hikes is the addition of a fuel-injection system. So what exactly is it? And how did bikes work before fuel-injection came into the picture? Let’s take a look: To understand why a fuel-injection (FI) system is needed, we first need to understand its predecessor: the carburettor. Both FI and carburettors do the same job: mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions before it’s sent into the engine. The diagram above shows a carburettor’s layout. Air enters at the top, flows through a narrow con...

Royal Enfield Classic 350 ABS Launched At Rs 161 lakh

Rumours of an ABS-equipped Royal Enfield have been doing rounds for quite some time with many stating that the entire range would get only single-channel ABS, barring the Royal Enfield Himalayan, the upcoming Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 . However, all those rumours have been slammed by the heritage classic bike manufacturer. As exclusively reported by us earlier , Royal Enfield has launched its highest selling model, the Classic 350 , with dual-channel ABS in India today at Rs 1.61 lakh (ex-showroom Pune). The new variant is called the Classic Signals 350 and is inspired by the Indian Army Corps of Signals, which is a division that oversees military communications. Apart from the safety net and the 240mm rear disc, the company is also offering this variant in two new colour schemes - Airborne Blue and Stormrider Sand. The instrument cluster now features a low fuel light and an ABS light instead of the ammeter that's offered on the standard Classic 350. The serial...

Honda HNess CB350 Same Price Other Options

  Watch Video Review     Honda has finally entered the retro segment dominated by Royal Enfield with its very own offering, the H’Ness CB350 . Expected to be priced at approximately Rs 1.90 lakh, the roadster has a lot going for it and is already creating waves in the two-wheeler industry. But if you still feel the CB350 isn’t the bike for you, you could have a look at the following options around the same price bracket.    Royal Enfield Classic 350 Stealth Black: Rs 1,86,319 Royal Enfield enthusiasts could stick to the bike that has pretty much been the backbone for the brand. Sure, the Classic 350 isn’t as powerful as the CB350, or as feature-rich, or as err… reliable, but it still has the thump -- if that’s what you’re looking for. Also, without all the fancy gizmos it’s as pure as pure can get -- a classic retro motorcycle!    Husqvarna Svartpilen, Vitpilen 250: Rs 1,84,768 The Swedes, on the other hand, have a different take on “neo-...
