Top 3 Motorcycles Worth Waiting For

I'm gonna be honest the first half of 2023 has left me disappointed not a lot of big names have made their way to the market and as an Enthusiast myself it makes me sad but that is about to change in the second half of 2023. Among a bunch of new motorcycles that will make their way to a nearby shelf along with new products that we will see at Auto shows there are three motorcycles that you should absolutely look out for Shall We Begin we have seen the motorcycles being tested around Pune where we have the Bajaj Factory and we have also seen Spy shots in Europe recently Rajiv Bajaj announced that the motorcycles will be unveiled on the 27th of June in London.

We think that this will most likely be an unveil and not a launch but the pricing for India should follow very soon now this is the first set of products that we will see out of the Bajaj Triumph collaboration and I think it looks very interesting for starters a liquid cool the engine that should have a displacement around 400 ccs with a four-wheel setup.

I've personally seen this being tested where the test rider was able to maintain speeds above 140 kilometers per hour with ease like no problem at all also, the looks aren't too outlandish circular headlamp is nothing too sharp and very flowing with clean lines now even when you look at the tank you will see some kind of resemblance to motorcycles from Triumph the beak at the front for the Scrambler is a neat addition and it really highlights that look.

Now before I move on to the equipment that you can expect I quickly want to address the ergonomics well I cannot comment on the seat quality yet the overall ergonomics through this test rider looks pretty comfortable the big difference between the Roadster and the Scrambler will be the bigger front wheel for the latter I also feel there will be a change in the right quality but more on that when we get to ride it what the motorcycles should get a standard will be Bluetooth connectivity navigation LED lights all around and hopefully switchable abs for the Scrambler variant pricing.

I think very to get this on point anything around the 2.5 lakh mark will be amazing the Scrambler should be slightly pricier but I personally feel it's the right spot to make an impact in the industry.

I know I have been wanting an ADV in my garage for the longest time and I'll be very honest I was really close to getting the 390 Adventure home but keeping those buying thoughts aside the Himalayan 450 is one motorcycle that I have my eyes on Royal Enfield has seriously worked on making their products better in every sense of the world and I feel the Himalayan will Top everything that they have learned so far so why should you as a potential buyer be interested, to begin with an all-new engine that will be liquid cool not just that we expect the power figures to be close to 40 horses and the talk should be north of 30-newton meters too.

Himalayan has focused more on more than outright and that is why it is underpowered when you're out on the highway this engine should relatively be stress-free and should address the performance issues. it'll be the first re to feature this setup and will gradually make its way to other motorcycles on the same platform you'll get a USD Fork at the front a motor shock at the rear hopefully switchable ABS a big digital cluster and Bluetooth connectivity with navigation should also make its way to the motorcycle judging by the Spy pictures that we have seen online the ergonomics should also be super comfortable and touring or even off-roading for that matter will not be a problem

My worry is the weight with the current gen I personally never had a problem but I've read a lot of forums and social media comments and they suggest that the heavy nature is a big problem hopefully Royal Enfield can address it with the new 450.

Finally pricing Royal Enfield has been spot on with pricing to get twin-cylinder motorcycles at that price is commendable and I expect no different from the brand for the upcoming Hemi but let's be a little realistic the current Himalayan sits at rupees 2.15 lakh at the showroom and where does that put the new one considering the jump in Tech the introduction of an all-new engine my bet is that anything between 2.5 to 2.7 lakh rupees will be appreciated new motorcycle ADV better performance at that price should be great I still wish Royal Enfield worked on one tubeless rims variant or even an alloy variant with a 19-inch front but it looks like that isn't happening, 

For now, the big one is the hero Karizma MXR-210 I would like to believe that there is a bigger Karizma ZMR in the works which should be based on the same bigger expulse platform the 450 but for now, there is confirmed news about a 210 cc Karizma should launch very very soon.

But first I have to address the looks finally a Karizma ZMR that looks good oh yes I feel Hero lost the plot when the ZMR was introduced and from thereKarizma ZMR was out of consideration for enthusiasts. it's been a really long time and we still don't know the full specs yet but for starters, it looks like Hero has got the design element right I know some of you guys might call this an updated extreme 200s by looking at that spy picture.

But I think this is sharper cleaner and better-looking power this will be a 210 cc liquid cool engine that should produce anywhere around 25 horses I also think the Karisma will be built to a cost and because India is a cost-sensitive Market the motorcycle is priced correctly should do really well I also want to talk about ergonomics here by the Spy shots that we have seen in the past the motorcycle looks pretty comfortable because with this the XMR should Target versatility as a motorcycling aspect and I think that is great.

Finally pricing as a Charisma R owner back in 2007 the on-road price was less than a lag of course times have changed and the industry has evolved but considering how Hero has been as a brand when it comes to pricing I think the XMR should have an X showroom value of rupees 1.4 to rupees 1.5 lacks it might sound too optimistic but if there's a brand that can get a fully fed motorcycle at that price it is only hero moto corp.

So which motorcycle are you most excited about is it going to be the Bajaj Triumph motorcycle or the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 or the Karisma XMR-210 drop in your comments and let us know. thank you for reading my blog.
