Royal Enfield showcases DAKAR Edition

-
There is always been a Sweet Spot for the adventure motorcycle in everyone's heart which is now in the full-flying mood as researched in the present market. So, to keep this trend flowing Royal Enfield has finally showcased it's most "Beast" Edition of the Himalayan that's the DAKAR Edition in Bangkok.


RE Himalayan is in the market since 2016 but due to rumors of bad quality parts, many aren't thought of buying one but after the launch of the BS-IV edition, the issues with the previous version have been resolved & it finally resulted in selling numbers for RE. In the 2018 Big Motor Sale, Bangkok they've showcased the DAKAR avatar edition, which almost keeps the original chassis but slight changes in the looks. Looking the bike you'll notice about the vertical headlamps with twin projector setup, gone are the round halogen lamps.

The engine bay of the bike is now surrounded by a "Orange" color crash guard & the seating have also been re-modified for one. With the "Groovy" tires in both rear & front for the superior grip in the mud & a higher exhaust position. 

The front mud guard, suspension, fuel tank & the sump guard have been brought forward from the original RE Himalayan, even the instrument cluster is also kept the same, changes in that could've made it more sweet spot for the buyers. The 411 cc engine specs are hoping to be same as on the Himalayan version but still not confirmed from the RE end. 

The Main changes are mentioned here:

  • The "Beast" looking vertical Projector headlamps.
  • The Groovy new tires & re-positioned exhaust.
  • Engine expected to be slightly modified.

A good news for RE fans out there! Royal Enfield's most rumored Interceptor 650 & the Continental GT has a long history to talk about, previously launched in the year 1960 & 1965 respectively but with different engine capacities. Now Royal Enfield has planned something serious about it & they've finally launched it in an event in US. Testing the seating positions of both the bikes we get to know that Interceptor 650 is designed for exclusive touring & the Continental GT 650 is for the cafe-racer because of the aggressive seating position. Seat height is kept at 793 mm & 804 mm for the Continental GT 650 & Interceptor 650 respectively. The ground clearance is kept 174 mm standard on the two. The engine is a 648 cc liquid cooled twin-parallel engine which produces about 47 Bhp at 7250 RPM & a peak torque of 52 Nm at 5250 RPM, which is slightly under-powered looking at the dimensions of the bikes. The braking system is shared between the t

Hello & welcome to Carwahi . Maruti Suzuki launched the 800 back in 1983 which run successfully till 2013  as Maruti was loosing the sales number as well as the profit that's why they finally stopped the production  after many face-lifts were introduced. The first Maruti 800 was based on the Suzuki Fronte . Maruti 800 has a-lot of history, you can just Google it out or if you want me to tell then comment down below about this. Talking about the engine, it was a 4-cylinder 800 cc motor paired with 4-speed gearbox (Later 5-speed) which used to produce 37 bhp of power & the kerb weight was 600+ kgs . I feel very lucky to drive this "Millionaire" as Maruti 800 was sold at about 2.88 million in its lifespan. I've been looking for to drive some of the old cars fortunately my friend does own one. My first impression, it was compact & the design language is just superb, the square shaped headlights & the black color bumper with the i

BMW Showcases G 310 RR Supersport

BMW bikes are known for its speed, better control & a hell lot of torque as well. BMW recently launched their adventure 300 cc bike in India that's the BMW 310 GS & BMW 310 R, continuing the same engine as in TVS Apache 310 RR. Recently BMW conducted a BMW Motorad Show in Japan, where the BMW G 310 RR is being showcased which uses a carbon full-fairing in-order to make the bike more aerodynamic & weigh less to gain the top-speed in no time. The gill pattern  designed fairing is designed to cool down the engine naturally as much as possible. The huge sticker in the front fairing is designed fantastically which gives a feeling of riding a beast & I'm quiet sure that you won't be able to identify either the bike is of 300 cc or a 1000 cc as many of the parts are being shared from the BMW S 1000 RR.  The mechanical components like the suspension, brakes are expected to be shared with the Apache 310 RR as the BMW 300 cc bikes are being closely looked o
