Vista Car Care makes many different products that take care of the exterior and interior of cars. What is this doing on a motorcycle site, you ask? Automotive paint is the same, whether it is a two wheeler or four wheeler, so the spray that Vista makes to remove tar spots and the remains of bugs who tried to cross the road without looking is the same for both.

I was a programmer once, who loved riding motorcycles. Today, I don’t code. I ride bikes, and get to write about them. I am emphasising this because we are talking about the New Hero Karizma ZMR – a fully-faired motorcycle that has been on Indian roads since the last five years and five years is good enough for a motorcycle to evolve.

Hero Moto Corp is hard at work cranking out a rash of new products. The brand, which recently announced a marginal increase in overall sales for February 2014, is all set to launch newer versions of its existing line-up.

Hero MotoCorp will launch fifteen new products starting from next month and continue to do so till March next year. Most of these new offerings will hit the Indian market in the October-December quarter, a way to cash in maximum sales due to festive season.

Hero MotoCorp has developed three new engines at their own R&D center in India, which will power their existing and future two wheelers. Currently all the Hero bikes sold in India are powered by their former Japanese partner, Honda.

Erik Buell Racing has teased an image of their upcoming motorcycle on their Facebook official page. Although the company is still tight lipped about the new product, it is expected to be the street legal production version of the 1190RS race spec motorcycle. The motorcycle is likely to be called the 1190RX and will be showcased in next few months.
