While we were guessing that the new 500cc middleweight motorcycles from Honda is to compete with the new Kawasaki Ninja 400R, Honda surprised everyone by unveiling a new 400cc twin-cylinder engine motorcycle which is a downsized version of the 470cc parallel twin found on the CBR500R. This 400cc bike is developed exclusively for the Japanese market, where the Japanese government imposes lower taxes upon motorcycles in the 250-400cc segment. Thus making the motorcycles in this category costs lesser. To utilize the tax benefits leading motorcycle makers like Honda, Kawasaki and Suzuki are developing the single cylinder engine and twin cylinder engine for the 250cc to 400cc category. Honda already has the CBR250R in that category and now they developed the new twin cylinder engine displacing 400cc. The 400cc four stroke twin cylinder engine is expected to power the Honda CBR400R and is expected to have a tough fight with Kawasaki Ninja 400R. Honda is trying to establish a strong foundat...

If you plan to take a loan for motorcycle or a moped, you might face certain difficulties. People make some common errors when seeking a loan. Avoid making mistakes when taking a loan or else you might take a wrong decision. Before taking loans, people choose motorcycle. Technically you should consult a lender first, to get an idea on your budget. For example, you have selected the bike, and its price is $15,000 and you may get a loan of $11,000. This may disappoint you. First compare the interest�s rates before you take a loan. Generally you might be pressuri z ed to take loans without proper information about the schemes and this may lead to paying higher interest rates. Know all the details about the loan before you finali z e it and do not go by the views of sales advi s or. Before you take the loan read all terms and conditions. Never take loans from private companies by seeing their promotional ads. For example, you borrowed money from credit card. You have to pay the interest...

Whether you have just bought your first bike or are adding to your collection, one of the first things you will be looking to do is insure your new purchase. Motorbikes are four times more likely to be stolen than cars so it is vital that you protect them. You are 9 times more likely to be injured in a bike accident than a car one so it is also important to protect yourself in case anything does happen. However there are many different types of insurance that offer different levels of cover and it is important that you get the right insurance for your biking needs. Finding the right kind of cover for your needs can be a tricky process but one that you have to go through, it is illegal to take to the road without some sort of cover.    The minimal legal requirement for motorcycle insurance is third party cover, which doesn�t cover you for any damage done to your bike in an accident, so you would have to pay for any repairs yourself. I would highly recommend that you opt f...

India's scooter market is on its all time high, but strangely country's second largest two-wheeler maker and legendary scooter manufacturer Bajaj has not released a single scooter on this year. Bajaj started its journey with the scooters, and their Chetak and Priya were one of the most successful scooters till date. However, they have tried their hands in the scooters with the Kristle and Wave in last few years, but they failed. Now there are reports coming in that the Bajaj Auto might come with a new 125cc scooter, which will speak for them in the scooter segment. Hopefully, it will be the Bajaj Blade 125, which is going to be a unisex offering from the company. However only an image of the scooter is available on online automobile portals and it reveals a lot about the scooter. The image suggests that the Blade will be equipped with front telescopic shock absorbers, 12 inch wheels, digital instrument cluster, front fuel filling, front disc brake and electric start. The scoot...

South Korean company Hyosung is working hard to reach a good position in the two-wheelers market in India which is the second largest two-wheeler market in the world. At the launch of its two premium motorcycles, Hyosung announced the launch of a new 250cc-single cylinder bike in India. The Indo-Korean motorcycle joint venture DSK-Hyosung is developing this sportsbike at Hyosung�s South Korea based Research and Development facility.DSK-Hyosung also announced that the construction of their new assembly facility in India will commence by March 2013, and it is fully functional by September, 2013.

The 250cc-single cylinder motorcycle will be a global product and will be sold acro...

Italian bike maker Piaggio Vehicles Private Limited's iconic scooter Vespa was now reduced to Rs 59,960. The price reduce was to increase Vespa's mass appeal and to take on market leader Honda Two-wheelers. Piaggio has taken this step due to India's scooter market growth of 20.06% in a relatively flat automotive market. India's scooter stood at 1.94 million vehicles from April to November, according to industry lobby Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers. Honda Scooters is leading the India�s scooter segment with more than 50% of the market share. Piaggio said it has sold over 25,000 units of its classic scooter in India. "In keeping with the philosophy of maximising customer value, Piaggio would be sharing the consequent benefits with potential consumers beginning January 2013. This would lower the acquisition cost of the Vespa with the ex- showroom purchase price point now starting at Rs. 59,990 and taking the iconic brand to a wider set of aspiring consumer...
