Ahead of its official launch, we revealed the prices of the upcoming Bajaj Dominar 250 which we will be riding on 19 March. More such stories made the last week quite interesting and in case you missed out on keeping a track of them, here are the five most important two-wheeler updates from last week.
BS6 Royal Enfield Classic 350 single-channel ABS launched
Royal Enfield launched the most affordable variant of its highly popular offering, the Classic 350 BS6. The single channel ABS trim of the motorcycle has been priced at Rs 1.57 lakhs. That makes it Rs 8,000 cheaper than the dual ABS-equipped, entry-level variant of the Classic 350 which costs Rs 1.65 lakhs. It has been introduced in five colour options including Mercury Silver, Ash, Chestnut, Redditch Red and Pure Black.
Jawa Standard and Forty Two BS6 launched
Classic Legends has also joined the BS6 league by launching the updated models of the Jawa Standard and Forty Two. Both bikes are available with single and dual channel ABS and in different colour options with varying prices. Click on the story link for prices of each variant of both the bikes. The price hike ranges from Rs 5,000 to Rs 9,928 which is a result of inclusion of larger a catalytic converter and for rationalisation of prices across colour variants. Although Jawa hasn’t shared exact performance numbers of the BS6 models yet, it has affirmed that they are similar to the BS4 models.
