To be available in limited numbers, it is priced at Rs 2.03 lakh.
Honda Activa 125 Premium edition

Benelli TRK 251 pre-bookings open
Benelli India has commenced the pre-bookings for the TRK 251. The motorcycle will be the entry-level adventure tourer in the company’s India portfolio. Interested buyers can reserve a unit of the bike via Benelli’s website for a token amount of Rs 6,000. The quarter-litre adventure bike will go up against the likes of KTM 250 Adventure, Royal Enfield Himalayan, and the Hero XPulse 200 4V in the Indian market.
Ducati has finally pulled the wraps off their most anticipated motorcycle – the Desert X. This adventure tourer has taken inspiration from Ducati’s Paris-Dakar days. The Desert X will sit below the brand’s Multistrada range, but will be a proper enduro instead of an adventure sports. The company says that the brand has worked on a lot of aspects to make the Desert X friendly on the road as well as off the road.
