KTM Announces Price Cut for Three Models Posted: 29 Nov 2011 04:37 AM PST Original Source: KTM Announces Price Cut for Three Models from BikeAdvice.in The first KTM bound for India will be showcased in the Delhi Auto Expo by the moth of Jan 2012. Ooof, how many times to report the same news man. I’m in fact bored about it. So, here I come with a post that will make you start scratching your heads and get involved with the post atleast for quite some time. The Austrian maker KTM on which Bajaj has a 38 per cent stake will be launching the KTM Duke 200 in the Indian market in just a couple of months. But, we are all least informed on what is gonna be the price of this particular bike. Following the foray of the Duke 200, the Duke 350 will also enter the Indian market somewhere round the corner.Across the Globe, the most successful models from the KTM family are the 690 Duke and 990 Super Duke R and the 990 Supermoto R. For the 2012 models of these 3 bikes, the company has announced price cuts in most of the markets dominated by these three models of bikes. There are most chances that these models will hit the market by the month of February of next year. Will this advantage of price cut by KTM be passed on to the potential Indian customers? This price cut cannot be taken for granted by us because all the products under the KTM umbrella will most likely be marketed by Bajaj Auto. Hence they will have a say on the pricing if the KTM products here. We will indeed have to wait for some more time so as to get an announcement from the company about the price structure on KTM products. To know more about the product details stay tuned with us as we'll be bringing live updates from the Delhi Auto Expo. What do you think should be the price band for the Duke 200 and the Duke 350? Will it sweep the Indian bike market? Leave your comments in the form of words below.

Hero MotoCorp Launches a Webpage for Impulse Posted: 28 Nov 2011 10:14 PM PST Original Source: Hero MotoCorp Launches a Webpage for Impulse from BikeAdvice.in Hero MotoCorp is already recognized across the globe as world's largest two wheeler manufacturer. Now, its reputation has gone up manifold in India for being India's first player to bring in a dirt bike into the country. The company has updated the features, specs, colour, and price along with an e-brochure carrying all the details of the bike. The site looks very interactive and covers in detail aspect of all the Impulse. The page also has a FaceBook 'Like' button which I hit on seeing for the first time itself. The image of the Impulse right in the homepage markets the bike brilliantly. It projects the bike's brilliancy as a city commuter and an off-roader as well. The following are the highlights of the Impulse as listed by HMC in the page High torque ATFT engine and high ground clearance for rough terrain riding Raised fender and large diameter front wheel with "stud pattern' type tyres Sturdier front suspension with long stroke and large front disc brake for cross country riding Nitrox gas-filled mono shock rear suspension Straight pull spokes at the rear for touch terrains Low maintenance seal endless drive chain Digital-analog combo meter console with 'service due' indicator Sharp edgy graphics Motocross seat Sporty high mount muffler The bike is available in 5 different colour schemes namely Terra Rosa which in simple term is nothing but red, Grassland Green, Canyon Orange, Deep Sea Blue and Tar Black. All these colours are impressive on a bike like Impulse where one colour fights over the other for aesthetic supremacy. Before the bike comes to the market, lemme give you a jist of specs for one last time. Engine Type      Air cooled, 4- stroke single cylinder OHC , Self start Displacement    149.2cc Max. Power       9.7 kW (13.2 Ps) @ 7500 rpm Max.

In Mumbai, the ex – showroom price is INR 69,963 and the on – road price is INR 78,330. How many of our readers are really interested with the Impulse. Is it the bike which is gonna help Hero MotoCorp in re – positioning itself in India after following the split of the Munjals led Hero group from its Japanese counterpart Honda?
