Royal Enfield is likely to introduce a new scrambler model, displacement of which is unknown yet. And Honda is expected to bring Bluetooth connectivity in its affordable models in India. If you think these stories are interesting, the last week had more such updates on offer and we bring you the top five of them.

2021 Triumph Bonneville Bobber launched

Triumph launched the 2021 edition of the Bonneville Bobber in India. The motorcycle has been priced at Rs 11.75 lakh that makes it around Rs 1.5 lakh more expensive than its predecessor. Now that’s undoubtedly a hefty premium. However, the Bobber has been bestowed with several updates that are mostly mechanical. To know all about the 2021 Bonneville Bobber, click on the story link.

2021 KTM RC 390 bookings open

Select KTM dealers have begun accepting unofficial bookings for the next-generation model of the RC 390. The booking amount goes up to Rs 10,000 and it varies depending on the dealer. The motorcycle has been spied multiple times before, revealing a lot about the changes it will get. The design, features, ergonomics and hardware; it has been improved on all fronts. Complete details will be revealed after its official launch which’s likely to take place soon. 

2021 Suzuki Hayabusa deliveries begin

Deliveries of the new 2021 Suzuki Hayabusa have begun in India as the Japanese bike maker has finally started dispatching the motorcycle to dealerships. India was allotted 101 units in the first batch, all of which were sold out within a month of its launch. One of the most popular big bikes across the globe, the new Hayabusa was already phenomenal but fortunately, Suzuki still chose to update the motorcycle thoroughly.

Royal Enfield Scrambler in the pipeline

We might see a scrambler model from Royal Enfield soon as the Chennai-based bike maker recently filed a trademark for the name ‘Scram.’ While it clearly indicates a scrambler being in the offing, it is difficult to say which family of RE models it will join. Whether it will be a 350cc motorcycle or a more off road-biased version of the Interceptor 650, we will know this once more details emerge. 

Honda two-wheelers could get Bluetooth

Another trademark that was filed recently was from Honda for a system called ‘RoadSync.’ Notably, a Bluetooth-enabled module with this name is already available for premium Honda models like the X-ADV and Forza 750 in the international markets. But the brand trademarking this name in India might be a hint that it’s going to be introduced here for two-wheelers like Activa 125 and the Hornet 2.0.
