Mahindra-owned Peugeot Motocycles Launches Django 125 210th Anniversary Edition

Peugeot Django 125 ABS 210th Anniversary Limited Edition.

Back at home, we’re still waiting for the Mahindra Mojo BS6 to arrive, and we’re still waiting to actually spot a Jawa Perak out on the road. But overseas, Mahindra’s other subsidiary Peugeot Motocycles has just rolled out the stylish and patriotic Django 125 210th Anniversary Edition.

If you, like me, are moderately knowledgeable and know how to count, then you, like me, are probably pretty confused because motorised transport didn’t exist 210 years ago, so neither did Peugeot Motocycles. But the family business that preceded the current Peugeot company was founded in 1810 to manufacture coffee mills and bicycles. It’s this anniversary that this scooter is celebrating.

Peugeot Django 125 ABS 210th Anniversary Limited Edition.

To do this, it comes wrapped in its national tricolour of bleu, blanc and rouge -- the body panels are blue and white, while the lovely quilted leather seats come finished in red. There’s also splendid red, white and blue striping that runs along the length of the scooter, and the overall result is a stylish but also pretty loud and flamboyant scooter.

A lot of show but very little go, because the Django is powered by a 125cc SOHC motor producing 10.14PS at 8500rpm and 8.9Nm at 7000rpm. It rolls on 12-inch wheels at both ends and suspension is taken care of by a telescopic fork and monoshock.

Peugeot Django 125 ABS 210th Anniversary there are only 21 units

With only 21 units on offer, you’ll need fairly deep pockets to pick one up because each one is priced at 437,800 Japanese yen or around Rs 3.06 lakh. The Anniversary Edition will go on sale on September 26, the same day that Peugeot celebrates 210 years of existence.

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...

Honda HNess Cruiser India Launch Tomorrow

Honda is all set to launch its first small-capacity retro motorcycle tomorrow. The recent trademark images suggest that the upcoming motorcycle might be called H’Ness, and cost around Rs 1.95 lakh (ex-showroom). There were rumours about the upcoming bike being the Honda Rebel 300. However, going by the recently-released teaser of the exhaust note , it is likely to pack an old-school air-cooled long-stroke fuel-injected motor displacing somewhere around 350-400cc. That’s a complete departure from the single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine in the Rebel. Expect plenty of low-end torque accompanied by the traditional Honda-levels of refinement in the upcoming bike. For representation The Honda H'Ness is expected to come with the same roadster-like design language as the Honda CB1100 EX. It is likely to feature a traditional front fork, twin rear shock absorbers and disc brake on both ends with ABS as standard. For an added retro appeal, expect it to use spoke wheels with tubed ...
