Upcoming Bikes In India – Harley Davidson Iron 1200

The handlebar is wider at 812 mm and with a 165 mm pullback, the result is upright riding position. Exactly like the 883, 1200 gets a puny 12.5-litre fuel tank. If launched as CKD, the Iron 1200 will be the most affordable 1200cc motorcycle in Harley Davidson range. Harley Davidson’s upcoming bikes In India includes the Iron 1200 expected to launch in the third quarter of 2018. We expect Harley to price the upcoming 1200 around INR 9.4 lakh.

Upcoming Bikes In India – Hero Xpulse 200
Hero Impulse was the first off-road worthy leisure bike in India. Since the Impulse came in ahead of its time, the sales numbers were really limited. At the 2018 Auto Expo, Hero took wraps off the new Xpulse. The Impulse’s successor borrows its engine from the recently launched Xtreme 200R. The 200cc single-cylinder motor is good for 18.4 bhp and 17 Nm of torque. The Xpulse gets a full-LED headlight with a small windscreen. The enduro handlebar with hand guards further pronounces its nature. At 825mm, the seat height is not friendly for our shorter friends, but the 220mm ground clearance and 190mm suspension travel makes up for it.

Although there is no such confirmation from KTM yet. The prices of the Duke 125 will be much higher than regular 125cc bikes. Expect it to cost around Rs 1.2 Lakhs or so.
Upcoming Bikes In India – KTM Duke 790
Along with the Duke 125, KTM might also launch the Duke 790. Currently, the most powerful KTM bike in India is the 390 Duke and RC 390.

For better performance and handling, it gets features such as ride-by-wire technology, quick gear shifter, slipper clutch, Bosch Cornering ABS, traction control and WP Steering Damper.

Upcoming Bikes In India – Benelli Leoncino
Motorcycles like the Honda Rebel and Benelli Leoncino offer so much in terms of design that it overshadows everything else. The Leoncino was revealed at the 2016 EICMA show in two variants. The road oriented version looks great but the scrambler is next level. Unfortunately, the former is going to be launched in India initially. The scrambler’s launch depends entirely on the demand.
