Glimps of upcomming bigger Gixxer bikes

It's not too long before Suzuki was considered as boring motorcycle company in India but that's all changed after Gixxer 150, Something similar strategy Suzuki is trying to apply with it's big worldwide products.

Present GSX-R1000R

Take look at it's present liter class GSX-R1000R it's most aging bike in the segment, definitely there's something radical idea's going ahead inside Suzuki R&D and what you're seeing here in image is believe to be upcoming GSX-R1000R along interestingly brand new GSX-R250R.

Completely new front look

Update regarding GSX-R1000R  was expected as every other literclass product is newer than that.

but We're really excited for smaller GSX-R250R as every other Japanese manufacturer have quarter liter sportbike except Suzuki, Smaller bikes are really important for any bike manufacturing company especially when those smaller bikes get's inspiration from bigger bikes, Smaller bike's makes large volume sales.

We can see here both of these bike's have completely new front fairing somewhat similar to Ducati Panigale inspired from viper, GSX-R1000R will be powered by inline four motor with crossplane crank configuration similar to their GP bike and powered around 200 hp, but at the moment we can't confirm about GSX-R250's powerplant it may single or twin parallel we really don't know.  

If these images published by Japanese magazine Young machine are anything but true then Suzuki is surely going to grab lot's of attention just like Yamaha did with 2015 R1 and R1M.

Yamaha MT 25 spotted in Indonesia

If you love naked bikes then you'll love to know, This MT 25 is just spotted in Indonesia as we know Indonesian government is applying heavy taxes on bikes above 250 cc displacement that's why Indonesia is blessed with some awesome 250 cc bikes.

For example this Yamaha MT 25 based on Yamaha's YZF R25 and YZF R3 with removed fairing and flat handlebar for street fighter character. If this bike could make it's way to India it'll go head to head with Kawasaki's Z250 and upcoming duke 250 as well as some others. But chances for getting this bike in our country is far less instead we believe this bike will make it's way to mostly European   countries. 

But not to loose hope riders, there are chances for YZF R3 in India at the ending of this year or beginning of 2016 as competition is heating up in 300 cc segment and we don't think Yamaha is willing to late in this party. 

This front end is surprisingly alike new FZ 2.0

Same liquid cool parallel twin from YZF R25

Tail section is straight pick from YZF R25 and YZF R3

Exhaust pipe as well as tubular chassis is carried from YZF R25 and R3

Upcoming TVS apache might be 300 cc ,Developed in join collaboration with BMW

BMW'S tie in with Indian firm TVS is promising to result in an intriguing new machine later this year – and from recently uncovered shipping documents it looks like it’s codenamed ‘K03.’
The name suggests that it’s in the region of 300cc, which fits with BMW’s intention to gain a hold in the sub-500cc market. At the moment, it’s been revealed on two shipments of prototype exhaust parts, both coming to India from Italy, one in June and another in August last year.

reference to shipping document of TVS-BMW K03

Further shipments show that prototypes were delivered to TVS from BMW, including one
complete bike including its engine, also in June last year, and two further engine-less rolling chassis.

It’s possible that the bike will bear some relation to the TVS Draken concept shown early last year, or at least share its 250cc, 38bhp engine, although TVS claimed at the time that the Draken was a purely in-house design.

Hero's HX250R sportbike might be more punchy than you thinks

India's Hero MotorCorp’s HX250R is sure already a smart looking machine and given the firm’s tie-in with Erik Buell Racing in America it’s known to have had at least a bit of input from Buell during its design process.
However, we’ve just dug up indications that the bikes might be more of an EBR than it first appeared.
Details of shipments into India last year reveal that several prototype 250cc motorcycles were sent from America to India, and while the data doesn’t reveal the machines’ maker or their final recipient, it does give each bike’s frame number. And they all start with the letters EBR.
While that’s not definite confirmation, the facts that the machines started life in the States and carry the EBR VINs heavily hint that they’ve been made by Erik Buell Racing. All of the bikes are listed as prototypes in their documentation, some as ‘Prototype Test Motorcycles’ others as ‘Working Prototype Models,’ and all are listed as being painted black, as befits a secret prototype. The listings also confirm engine numbers and the bikes’ 250cc capacities.

The chances are high that the bikes in question, which started to be sent from America to India last January, are development models for the recently-launched HX250R, which Hero says has been developed with the help of Erik Buell’s operation, which Hero owns a minor stake in. However, far from simply being tweaked in America, they have actually been created there.

The HX250R’s spec is already impressive, with a high-revving 31hp single using an oversquare 81mm bore and 48.5mm stroke.This bike is expected to get price tag of 1.45 lakh to 1.60 lakh rupee
 (ex showroom) in India. Hero is going to launch hx 250 in its homeland(India) around mid 2015, looking at its styling and engine parameters its sure going to make quarter liter segment some intense heat.
