Ducati Multistrada 950 BS6 launched
The new Ducati Multistrada 950 has entered our shores with prices starting from Rs 12.99 lakh onwards. Internationally, it is available in three variants including standard, RVE and SP, with only the latter two available in India.

Royal Enfield Hunter 350 spied again
Royal Enfield’s upcoming offering, the Hunter 350, was spied in a new video. The YouTube spy video description stated that the bike appeared to be going faster than 125kmph of speed which means it will have a decent cruising speed. The motorcycle is likely to be powered by the same 350cc engine as the Meteor 350 and the Classic 350. The official launch might take place sometime next year.
The Yamaha YZF R15 V4 received a price hike of Rs 3,000 this month. Now, the prices of the motorcycle start at Rs 1,70,800 for the base variant and go up to Rs 1,82,800 for the top-end Monster Energy trim. Notably, this is the first price hike it has received ever since its launch in September. The new YZF R15 V4 is a drastic improvement over its predecessor in almost all areas.
