Jawa Dual-Channel ABS Deliveries Start

The dual-channel ABS variants were launched in December last year. Both the motorcycles carry a premium of around Rs 9,000 over their standard single-channel ABS models. Waiting period for the motorcycles is still high in major cities. There’s no denying that Jawa created a storm in the Indian two-wheeler industry. The company got such an overwhelming response that it had to hold its booking process and is now facing a lot of issues with the delivery process. However, after almost seven months, the manufacturer has finally started the delivery process of the Jawa/ Jawa Forty dual-channel ABS variants. The dual-channel ABS-equipped variants of the standard model and the Forty Two were launched in December last year. It’s not just that these variants have been delayed; in fact, if you are planning to buy either of the standard variants, the waiting period still varies between 7-10 months in major cities . So if you book yourself a brand new Jawa now, there’s a possibility that i

Mysterious Ducati Bike Teased Likely To Debut At 2020 Ducati World Premiere

The company will showcase its 2020 range of motorcycles on 23 October 2019. The bike in the teaser is most likely the production-spec Streetfighter V4. Other guesses include a Multistrada V4 or an updated Ducati SuperSport. Ducati is set to unveil its 2020 range of motorcycles on 23 October 2019. What’s more interesting is that the company has teased a mystery motorcycle, which has left us scratching our heads and wondering what it could be?  Also Read - V4-powered Ducati Multistrada Spied For The First Time! Now, the obvious answer could be the production-ready Streetfighter V4. And this would make sense considering that the CEO of the company, Claudio Domenicali, had mentioned that the stripped-down version of the Panigale V4 will be the highlight of the event.  But if we had to put on our tin-foil hats and speculate, we think it could also be the 2020 Ducati Multistrada V4 considering the fact that the flagship adventure-tourer was spied testing near Bologna, Italy r

Benelli TRK 502X Conquers Khardungla Pass

  Watch Video Review   It might be erroneously referred to as the world’s highest motorable road but the Khardungla pass has over time gained a reputation as one of the ultimate proving grounds for intrepid man and machine. From litre-class superbikes to puny scooters , two-wheelers of all shapes and sizes have endeavoured to conquer this tiny patch of snow and rocks perched 17,582 feet above sea level. And thanks to modern engineering not just in vehicles but even road construction, most have succeeded. The Benelli TRK 502X is the latest motorcycle to conquer the Khardungla pass. Starting from Manali, the adventure tourer covered Jispa, Baralacha, Sarchu, among other places, to reach the mountain pass. In total, the rider covered 1,800km including a 150km off-road stretch on his way to Tsomoriri Lake.

Updated Honda CBR250RR In The Works

The Honda CBR250RR was launched back in November 2016. It is one of the most powerful 250cc twin-cylinder motorcycles currently on sale globally. As of now, the bike’s availability is restricted to southeast Asian and Japanese markets. Honda is all set to update its quarter-litre track tamer, the CBR250RR, for 2020. Based on the leaked patent images, the bike, codenamed K64J, could come with a smart key. This should enhance the premium quotient of the motorcycle and also make it much safer thanks to its inherently more complex encryption compared to traditional keys. The current-generation bike doesn’t come with a slipper clutch but being a sporty motorcycle, we wouldn’t be surprised if Honda adds the feature in the 2020 model. While there are rumours of a quick-shifter in the offing, we believe adding such an update would drive up the price a bit too much. At present, the Honda CBR250RR is priced at 71,248,000 Indonesian Rupiah (around Rs 3.49 lakh). Also Read:  Honda CBR250

Benelli Leoncino Teased India Launch Soon

If our guess is right, the Leoncino will be Benelli's first retro-modern motorcycle in India. … and its second mid-capacity bike for the country after the TRK 502. It will also be Benelli’s most affordable mid-displacement bike to go on sale here. Benelli is likely to launch the Leoncino in India soon. The brand has posted teaser images on its social media platforms with the hashtag “ReadyToRoar.” One of the lines in the post says, “The King is set to make its mark.” Now, we all know the lion is the king of the jungle and the hashtag is a clear nod to the famed animal. All these point to the possibility that the upcoming motorcycle could be the Leoncino. Expect Benelli to launch the new motorcycle in the coming months for an expected price of around Rs 4.5 lakh (ex-showroom India). In markets abroad, Benelli offers the bike in two variants: Leoncino and Leoncino Trail. The former is a road-biased retro-modern motorcycle whereas the latter is a mild off-road-friendly take

V4-powered Ducati Multistrada Spied For The First Time

The test mule appears to house very subtle design changes. It’ll pack the same Stradale V4 motor as the Panigale V4 and come with a host of rider aids.  We expect Ducati to unveil it sometime early next year or during this year’s EICMA in Milan. It was only a few weeks ago that reports of a V4-powered Multistrada doing the rounds near Ducati’s Bologna factory surfaced online. Now, the first spy shots of the motorcycle have leaked online, giving us a visual confirmation of the same.

The only difference here is the all-new exhaust, which could’ve been done to accommodate the two additional cylinders. As a result, the exhaust note appear to be quite different from that of a typical L-twin.  Also Read -  Ducati Streetfighter V4 Spied In Near Production-ready Guise   Considering the lack of changes over the cu
