Bullet Classic spied in Bangalore!

Here are some pictures Bullet Classic. The Indian version, which is expected to be launched at the upcoming Auto Expo in Jan'10 will sport a similar look to the UK models. It will also sport the same EFI (fuel injected) 500cc UCE engine with twin-spark technology. Brilliant!

The 500 Classic would be priced around Rs 1.4 lakh and has a top speed of around 130km/h (true) and can cruise happily all day long at 110km/h. Royal Enfield will also be looking at launching the Machismo 350 and 5S Electra with twin-spark and EFI at a later stage.

Ducati to Open its First Showroom in India

Italian bike maker, Ducati Motor Holding will open its first showroom in Mumbai this summer. Precision Motor is the official distributor of Ducati in India and have announced that they will open a showroom in every metro city in the country. Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Bangalore are the other cities where the company aims to open Ducati showrooms in the future. "India will not be a major market for Ducati now. But it will be five years from now," said a company representative.

Ducati Motor CEO Gabriele Del Torchio said, "I have asked MotoGP CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta to bring the Grand Prix event to India. If this event can happen in Qatar, China, Malaysia and Australia, I think India also has a great chance with vast improvements in infrastructure and the F1 circuit plans firming up. If all goes well, we shall have a full-fledged motorcycle racing season in India soon."
