Your weekly dose of bike updates: Updated KTM 250 Duke launch, Yamaha R15 price hike and more!

Updated KTM 250 Duke launched

After the 250 Duke was spied with an LED headlamp a few days back, KTM has officially launched it in India. Now, it demands a premium of Rs 3,968 over the previous version with a halogen headlamp. Notably, this is the same dual-pod LED headlight cluster which can be seen on the 390 Duke. In terms of engine and cycle parts, the motorcycle has remained unchanged. It has already started reaching dealerships while deliveries will commence soon.

Yamaha YZF R15 V3 and MT 15 BS6 prices increased

Yamaha has hiked the prices of the YZF R15 V3 and the MT 15 for the second time since the launch of their BS6 models. While the MT 15 naked bike has received a marginal hike of Rs 1,000, the R15 fully-faired offering has become dearer by as much as Rs 2,100. Now, the prices of the former start at Rs 1,39,900, while that of the latter start at Rs 1,47,900.

Meanwhile, the Performance Orange, Black Denim, Vivid Black Deluxe and Barracuda Silver Deluxe paint schemes demand a premium of Rs 12,000. The motorcycle remains unchanged in all other aspects.

Opinion: Fully-faired Xtreme 160R in the offing

Hero MotoCorp has nailed it with the Xtreme 160R in almost all areas. As we have told you in our first ride review, the motorcycle gets a peppy engine, handles sweetly and the ride quality is commendable. Of course, the styling of the bike is its prime USP. Now, we believe the company will utilise this platform to spawn a fully-faired motorcycle based on the Xtreme 160R. For an elaborated justification on this opinion of ours, click on the story link.
