is planning
to launch new sports bikes in India in the next couple of months. The
Honda official said that they are going
to launch new sports bikes in India in 2009. There has been a sudden surge in the number of
sports bike brands entering the Indian bike market, over the past two years. Initially this trend was set by Kinetic with the
launch of its 250cc Hyosung Comet in India back in 2005. Then Yamaha launched the Yamaha R1 in India and the MT-01 cruiser bike in 2007. Soon later followed by the Italian motorcycle leader Ducati launched an array of
sports bikes costing up to Rs. 50 lakhs, and then finally Suzuki joined the super bike group in mid of 2008, with its Hayabusa
sports bike and the Intruder cruiser.
Keeping with that trend,
Honda also don’t want to be left behind.
Honda now intends to provide some competition to the Yamaha R1 and the Suzuki Hayabusa by
launching the new Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade in India, sometime in the first quarter of this year. And for those who would like to have a naked muscle bike rather than a fully-faired bike,
Honda also intends
to launch the CB1000R in India. Both bikes are expected to be priced at around Rs 9.5-10.5 lacs, making them marginally less expensive than the R1 and the Hayabusa.
