Original Source: KTM Duke 150cc & 250cc for Indonesia? from BikeAdvice.in We have seen lots of news about Bajaj-KTM Duke 125cc and 200cc. Recently Bajaj-KTM launched 125cc version of Duke in Singapore and Qatar and 200cc version in Malaysia. Soon we are going to see launch of KTM Duke 200cc in India (Probably by the mid of December). But, there is unexpected news about 150cc and 250cc version for Indonesia. According to Budi Dirgantoro, Sale Function Head Bajaj Auto Indonesia, the company will launch Duke in Indonesia 6 months after launch in India. He said that it will be by Late 2011, probably by June-July 2011 and added that the variants are to be 150cc and 250cc. The news is special because it means that Bajaj-KTM has developed many engines for KTM-Duke global bike and each will be launched according to individual country preference like in Europe its 125cc version and in Malaysia its 200cc version. The looks of the bike will remain same but the engine capacity will change as per individual country. This is the same thing which Bajaj has done with its Pulsar, Discover and now with Boxer brand. Not only Bajaj but Honda has also done the same thing with CBR as it has 125cc, 150cc and 250cc version for the same style with different engine capacity. -Mahavir Kothari (Source: BAI press release) Share on FacebookRelated posts: |
| Yamaha Launches Facelifted Crux Posted: 18 Sep 2011 05:28 AM PDT
Original Source: Yamaha Launches Facelifted Crux from BikeAdvice.in Yamaha has always been known for superbikes initially across the world. Then, with the launch of FZ-1, it became synonymous with naked street bikes, to a certain extent. The brand gave a good re-entry in the year 2006 with the Gladiator, which then became a series the next year made gave a re-entry tag for the Yamaha. Then, needless to say that the Yamaha FZ-16 and the YZF R15 aided the company to scale new heights in the Indian market. However, the company did not stop its commuter bike – Crux though it's not the company's target segment. This bike has now silently undergone a facelift now. Though there is not any major change, the design is set to be in par with the present trend. To begin with, the Yamaha Crux is now equipped with a Multi Reflector Headlamp to ensure enhanced visibility to ride at night time. The fuel tank is facelifted with new graphic design making it classy than the older one. This is the most visible change out of all which differentiates from the earlier model. The fenders in front and rear are chrome tipped. This was of course, present in the previous model too. The rear shocks are adjustable too. Yamaha Crux Specifications

| Kawasaki’s ZZR1400 Teaser Video Posted: 18 Sep 2011 04:36 AM PDT
Original Source: Kawasaki's ZZR1400 Teaser Video from BikeAdvice.in Japanese giant Kawasaki has released a latest short length teaser video which shows how the front half of the all new Kawasaki ZZR 1400 will resemble like. The video clearly reveals the launch date of the bike which is 10th of October, this year. The video also features the bore and stroke as 84mm by 65mm.The engine displacement of the bike is brought up to 1440 cc from the current 1352 cc, which is up by 88 cc and the power output of the bike is expected to be in the range of 200 bhp. The new yet to be launched ZZR1400 will sport the advanced K-ACT ABS braking system and K-TRC traction control systems and some tunings in the engine to boost it's mid and low range power , thereby making the engine more refined. It is more expected that this bike will share the electronics and instruments from the bigger Kwakker – GTR 1400 Tourer. The electronics in this tourer bike is considered to be one of the best in the market. However, there wwill be noticeable changes even when these are incorporated abd it is to be noted that the smaller and the lighter control systems are designed by Bosch for Kawasaki. The air duct and the windscreen of this bike are also said to have seen a facelift. MCN reports, 'The already stonking 200bhp peak power of the bike is also unlikely to change much as Kawasaki has concentrated all its efforts on improving the mid and low range torque and engine refinement.'
