These seven days showed that there are a lot of exciting bikes in the pipeline for India
Boy oh boy what a week this one was! It began with us knowing more about the upcoming Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and ended with Yamaha keeping us extremely busy. But we’re not complaining, not even one bit! So if you have missed out on anything that happened this week, here’s a quick lowdown on the five most exciting news:
Yamaha News
Yamaha kept us on our toes this week. The brand first updated the R15 V4, MT-15 V2 and the R15S. The R15 V4, in the Intensity White colourway looks breathtaking! Check it out here. Next on the list was the Aerox 155, which got a new colour and even a segment-first feature! More about it here.
And what was the most exciting of the lot, was Yamaha putting its big bikes on display and the fact that they’re likely to be launched in India! Have a look at the 300cc bikes here. At the same event were the bigger bikes from Yamaha too. Check out the R7, MT-07 and the MT-09 here.
Harley-Davidson 400cc Bike
With Harley-Davidson’s 2023 lineup costing a bomb, the brand thankfully has something special for our developing market too. Spy shots have revealed details about the HD400, Harley-Davidson’s soon-to-be most affordable offering in India, one that they’ve made in collaboration with Hero MotoCorp.
But before you think it’s just a rebadged X350, let us tell you, it’s not. Here are all the differences between the two bikes.
Royal Enfield News
Weeks feel incomplete if there are no new developments from Royal Enfield. Thankfully, this one wasn’t so. We got a glimpse of what the console of the upcoming Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 will be like. Check it out here.
If you too, are a fan of Royal Enfield bikes, here’s how much each one costs this April.
Trademarks
India saw as many as six trademark filings this week. Bajaj was responsible for half of them: filing for Racer, Hammer and Aura. What do these mean? Here’s what we think.
The other three are from Hero MotoCorp as it’s gearing up a TVS Apache RTR 200 4V rival. More about it here. Next is more news from the Indian marque about the iconic Karizma’s revival. More about it in our story.
