Honda - the Japanese two-wheeler maker - has imported the new CBR150R in India, which hints at the company's plans to launch the updated model of the bike in India as well. One must know, the bike is already on sale in Indonesia.

Launched at Rs 44,507 (ex-showroom, Delhi), the new Platina ES is claimed to return a mind-blowing 96.9Km/l (ARAI certified), which makes it the most-fuel efficient bike ever in India.

While India is still waiting for an official announcement about the launch date of the Pulsar 200 SS, a new variant of the Pulsar has made its appearance in Indonesia. The new model seems to have been designed for people looking for an affordable adventure sports bike.

With an objective to improve its market share in the domestic market, Bajaj Auto, the Indian motorcycle giant, is planning to launch as many as six bikes in the country in the next six months ranging from a 100cc commuter bike to a 400cc sports bike

Our sources tell us that the company might launch the R3 instead of the R25; the company has, in fact, imported two units of the bike from Indonesia for research & development. The challenge for Yamaha, however, will be pricing it competitively in India.

The recently launched RC 200 and RC 390, which were earlier priced at Rs. 1.60 lakh and Rs. 2.05 lakh, get dearer by Rs Rs. 6, 000 and Rs. 8000 respectively. With 5.5% and 4.9% price hikes, the Duke 200 and Duke 390 street-fighters get costlier by Rs. 7, 190 and Rs. 8, 987 respectively.

The company unveiled the new look of the Mojo at the 2014 Delhi Auto Expo and though a far cry from the concept, the bike manages to turn a few heads. The company has been extensively testing the bike and it looks like the launch is around the corner. The company plans to launch the Mojo in March this year.

Mahindra Two Wheelers expects to complete the deal by next month to acquire 51 per cent stake in Peugeot Motorcycles, part of the France-based Euro 54 billion PSA Group, a top official said today.
