For Royal Enfield, the product onslaught doesn바카라™t seem to stop with the 650 twins, as the brand is working on a scrambler version of the popular Classic 350. Pictures of the motorcycle surfaced on the internet last week and it appears to be a rather simple, straightforward mod-job. When launched, it is likely to command around the same price as the regular Classic model. Interestingly, it is reported that the bike will be called the Trials 350, and is likely to feature a dedicated 바카라˜Trials바카라™ badge from the 1950바카라™s. Here바카라™s what this upcoming product packs.

We expect the T6X to be launched by the end of this year, at around Rs 1.25 lakh (ex-showroom).

Suzuki Gixxer 250 engine details leaked:

Suzuki India has a fairly good presence in the 150cc segment and also in the big-bike segment, to an extent. However, the brand doesn바카라™t have anything in the quarter-litre space so far. But this is likely to change this year, as images of a new India-bound 250cc engine leaked recently. It has a very interesting cooling system, something that바카라™s unlike any other motorcycle. It is likely that the upcoming naked motorcycle will carry the 바카라˜Gixxer바카라™ moniker, which would help prospective customers instantly connect with the name, thanks to its popularity. The motorcycle will lock horns with the Yamaha FZ25 in its segment.

Dakar rally is undoubtedly one of the most gritty, dangerous and coveted motorsports in the world. It바카라™s challenging for a good reason, as drivers and riders not only have to battle extreme weather and terrain, but also have to navigate at consistently high speeds. In 2015, India entered this revered sport, and here바카라™s how we바카라™ve fared historically.
