TVS Motor Company and BMW Motorrad are reportedly working on another product


BMW Motorrad India has still not updated its entry-level G 310 siblings to BS6 emission norms. Sharing platform with the Apache RR310 at TVS Motor Company’s manufacturing facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, the G 310 R and G 310 GS are two of the most expensive single-cylinder motorcycles available in the country. At an initial asking price of Rs 2.99 lakh and Rs 3.49 lakh ex-showroom, one would find it hard to justify its desirability (especially when compared to a KTM India product).

In a few European markets, the G 310 siblings are considered as excellent starter motorcycles. Even in India, both single-cylinder BMW motorcycles offer an enjoyable ride but just not enough for what you pay. However, various reports state that BMW Motorrad India could introduce a massive price cut of up to Rs 75,000 for their BS6 versions

Apparently, the German two-wheeler manufacturer and its Indian partner plan to introduce another motorcycle from the shared platform. Most likely, it would be a naked avatar of the TVS Apache RR 310. The ongoing COVID-19 crisis may have brought about a delay in its development.

Chetan Kale has modelled, textured and rendered an interesting BMW G 310 ‘RR’ concept on Blender. With subtle tweaks, Chetan has added the 2019MY BMW S 1000 RR super sport’s fairing on a G 310 RR chassis.

Alongside its wheels and exhaust, the tail section mostly remains untouched. Even though the TVS RR 310 is a faired G 310 on paper, chances of BMW Motorrad introducing a single-cylinder faired motorcycle in its base portfolio are not bleak.

The ‘baby S 1000 RR’ could be a success in markets such as Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines where models such as the Yamaha YZF-R15 and Suzuki GSX-R150 are quite popular. On the other hand, the Indian market is already unhappy with the way BMW Motorrad priced the G 310 siblings. This will change if their BS6 updates come with the substantial price drop mentioned above.

KTM RC 390 Modified as Final Year college project

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
