The last week was much more than just launches of new products. In our exclusive report, we revealed the spy images of the upcoming Bajaj Pulsar 250 which we caught testing out on the road. We also reported on three different 650cc Royal Enfield models that were sighted undergoing tests. If you couldn’t read these updates in detail, here’s a quick lowdown of the top five bike stories from the last week.
In a surprising event, we snapped one of the first test mules of the upcoming Bajaj Pulsar 250 being ridden near Pune. While the motorcycle sported an aggressive design that is common in the Pulsar family, it was deprived of a liquid-cooled engine present in the Pulsar NS200. Instead, it was running an air/oil-cooled motor. The spy shots revealed a lot more about the bike and to read all of it, click on the story link.
Three new Royal Enfield 650cc bikes spied
It’s a known fact now that Royal Enfield is working on a new 650cc cruiser based on the same platform as that of the Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650. But thanks to a new spy video emerging on the internet, we can now confirm that the cruiser will be accompanied by two other 650cc roadsters as well. Rumours suggest that these will be called the Classic 650 and Meteor 650 with a design similar to their corresponding smaller-displacement counterparts.
