The upcoming BMW F 900 XR and S 1000 are expected to be launched in the Indian market next month, along with the F 900 R


BMW Motorrad India has shared a teaser video of the F 900 and the S 1000 sports tourers on its official social media handles, hinting that the motorcycles will be introduced in the country very soon. Both the motorcycles made their debut at last year’s EICMA motorcycle show, and the bookings for both the Beamers is expected to commence next month.

Talking about the motorcycles, the F 900 XR is based on the Concept 9cento revealed back in 2018. The sports-tourer comes equipped with an adventure motorcycle fairing, 17-inch alloy rims, a long-travel USD fork and a rear monoshock that is electronically adjustable in the Pro variant. Powering the said bike is a 895 cc parallel-twin engine that puts out 105 PS of max power and 92 Nm of peak torque.

Joining the F 900 XR will be the F 900 R middle-weight naked motorcycle, which will be using the same parallel-twin engine as the XR sports tourer. The F 900 R is expected to be priced between Rs 10 and 11 lakh (ex-showroom) in India, and will be pitted against the likes of Kawasaki Z900, Triumph Street Triple and the Ducati Monster 821 as well. We expect BMW Motorrad to launch the F 900 twins initially, and then later on follow up with the S 1000 XR soon after.

Moving on to the 2020 S 1000 XR, the motorcycle features some subtle design tweaks over its predecessor. The asymmetrical headlamp of the outgoing model has now been replaced with a conventional twin LED headlamp integrated with DRLs.

BMW has also managed to reduce 10 kg from the bike’s weight, and has additionally equipped it with a full colour-TFT display which controls all the electronic aids. The S 1000 XR continues to draw power from a 999 cc inline four-cylinder engine that generates 165 PS power at 11,000 rpm and 114 Nm torque at 9,250 rpm.

Saurav Verma’s ‘KTM RC 390 SRV’ takes inspiration from the stance of a falcon KTM products are easily the best in India’s single-cylinder sports motorcycle category. The Austrian brand (in which Bajaj Auto has a 48% stake) has updated all its products to BS6 emission norms at the start of this year. In terms of performance as well as equipment, KTMs have always had an edge over its competitors. In fact, the all-new KTM 390 Adventure has set a benchmark in the Indian motorcycle scenario. In the current KTM India line-up, the faired RC range is relatively outdated. Even though we get only the RC 200 and RC 390 in the domestic market, KTM India assembles and exports the mid-range RC 250 in Bajaj’s manufacturing facility in Chakan, Pune. Meanwhile, the next-gen KTM RC 390 was spotted a few months before doing test runs in European roads in its early prototype avatar. KTM products follow a unique design philosophy with their exposed trellis frame, orange highlights and quir

The  Classic 350  and  Bullet 350  have been Royal Enfield’s best selling motorcycles in India for many years now. The two motorcycles also recently received updates to make them BS6-compliant. Here, we take a look at the details of the Classic 350 and Bullet 350 that differentiate them from each other. Styling Royal Enfield has designed the Classic 350 as well as Bullet 350 keeping in mind classic motorcycles. Both get round, conventionally-lit headlamps and are adorned with chrome elements to suit their retro styling. However, the two motorcycles get slight cosmetic differences that set them apart visually. To begin with, the Classic 350 gets tank grips which the Bullet 350 misses out on. It also sports a pulled-back handlebar whereas the unit on the Bullet 350 is slightly higher, which offers the rider an even more upright riding posture. Furthermore, the Bullet 350 sports a square battery box instead of the oval box fitted on the Classic 350. The motorcycles
