New Bikes in India

1.  Yamaha YZF R15 V

Rs. 1.41 - 1.45 lakh

Yamaha has updated its small capacity supersport, the R15 v3, to the latest BS6 emission norms. Prices for the updated motorcycle have gone up by Rs 4,420 as the pricing of the bike starts from Rs 1,45,300 for the Thunder grey colour. The Racing Blue costs Rs 1,45,900 while the matte finish Dark Knight colour costs Rs 1,47,300. All prices ex-showroom Delhi.

2.  Royal Enfield Classic 350

Rs. 1.46 - 1.82 lakh

The Royal Enfield Classic 350 is the cult bikemaker’s consistently best-selling motorcycle till date. Launched back in 2009, the Classic 350 turned around RE’s fortunes when it was struggling to compete with more modern motorcycles. Recently the Royal Enfield Classic 350 BS6 with single-channel ABS was launched at Rs 1,57,097 (ex-showroom Delhi), a premium of around Rs 11,000 over the BS4 Classic X 350 model. Apart from different colour schemes, a front 280mm disc with single-channel ABS and a rear 153mm drum, the motorcycle remains mechanically similar to the dual-channel ABS variant. The Royal Enfield Classic 350 Dual-channel ABS BS6 is priced at Rs 1.65 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). 

3.  KTM 200 Duke

Rs. 1.73 lakh 

The KTM 200 Duke BS6 receives a major update in the form of a new frame and bodywork from the larger KTM 250 Duke. It now costs Rs 1,72,749 (ex-showroom Delhi), a premium of Rs 10,496 over the BS4 200 Duke. Other updates include wider handlebars, a longer rider and pillion seat, and a larger fuel tank.

4.  TVS Apache RTR 160 4V

Rs. 1.01 - 1.04 lakh

The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V is the brand’s first proper streetfighter in the 160cc segment developed to rival the likes of the Yamaha FZ range, Suzuki Gixxer, Bajaj Pulsar NS160, and the Honda CB Hornet 160R. The Hosur-based bikemaker has increased the prices of both the variants of the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V BS6. The rear drum brake variant is priced at Rs 1,00,950, whereas the rear disc brake model will set you back by Rs 1,04,000. Both variants are more expensive by Rs 1,000.

5.  Yamaha MT 15 BS4

Rs. 1.37 lakh

It won’t be an exaggeration to say that the Yamaha R15 revolutionized the Indian two-wheeler industry. A decade or so later, Yamaha hopes to achieve the same feat in the naked streetfighter segment with the MT-15. With its head-turning design and a powerful motor derived from the R15 v3.0, the Yamaha MT-15 certainly has what it takes to go against the best of the segment.

6.  Yamaha FZS-FI V3

Rs. 1.01 lakh

Yamaha India launched the BS6-compliant FZS-Fi Version 3.0 in November 2019. Interested customers can get one for Rs 1,01,200 (ex-showroom Delhi). A price bump of Rs 2,600 over the BS4 model. The entry-level street naked, originally known as the FZ16, was the bike that helped Yamaha gain a foothold in the Indian market. It’s not surprising then that the FZ series still holds a strong position in the brand’s lineup.

7.  Yamaha Fazer 25

Rs. 1.45 lakh 

Yamaha has announced a recall for the Fazer 25 in India. The problem lies in the engine head cover bolt coming loose. According to the brand, 728 units of the Fazer 25 have been affected. The owners of the affected bikes will be contacted individually by Yamaha’s authorised dealers and repairs will be carried out free of cost.

Yamaha recently increased the price of the Fazer 25 by Rs 500, pushing the price of the bike to Rs 1,44,680 (ex-showroom Delhi). Expect the price to go up further by around 10-15 per cent for the BS6-compliant model.

8.  Honda CBR650R

Rs. 7.70 lakh

Honda has officially started accepting bookings for the new 2019 Honda CBR650R. This 650cc faired sports bike is expected to launch in India in the next couple of months and will replace the ageing CBR650F here. According to Honda, the new bike will be priced below the Rs 8 lakh mark (ex-showroom) and the new bike can be booked from any of Honda's 22 'Wing Word' dealerships across India by paying a token amount of Rs 15,000.

The new Honda CBR650R gets a complete makeover and looks like a smaller version of Honda’s flagship litre-class superbike, the CBR1000RR. Features include new twin LED headlamps and a fully-digital instrument console that replaces the dated twin-pod digital instrument cluster seen on the CBR650F.

9.  Honda CB300R

Rs. 2.42 lakh

Honda is planning for 100 per cent localisation for some of its premium two-wheelers in India. The first motorcycle in this list could be the CB300R, which is priced at Rs 2.41 lakh (ex-showroom India) and will become a bit more expensive once the BS6 emission norms kick in. At this price point, it undercuts the likes of the KTM 390 Duke as well as the BMW G 310 R. It is available at 22 Honda Wing World dealerships across the country.

10.  Suzuki Hayabusa

Rs. 13.75 lakh

The last remaining units of the 2020 Suzuki Hayabusa have been sold out. Suzuki had brought limited units of the 2020 bike, which were still BS4-compliant. With no signs of the current model being updated to BS6 emission norms, the Hayabusa's stint has come to an end in the country.
