As 2023 is about to end, the auto industry geared up to launch five new bikes in the last month of the year. From low range to top, there is something exciting for everyone in December.
Kawasaki Eliminator 450
The Kawasaki Eliminator 450 is all set to return in India with the Eliminator nameplate. The bike made its global debut earlier this year and sports a classic cruiser design with modern touches, while power will come from a 451 cc parallel-twin motor. The new Eliminator will be launched at India Bike Week 2023, scheduled for the second week of December.
Aprilia RS 457
The Aprilia RS 457 full-faired sport bike will be showcased at IBW 2023. Aprilia’s first India-made motorcycle promises a lot, especially its 457 cc parallel-twin motor producing 47 bhp. Aprilia India may go one step further and announce the prices at the motorcycle festival and also start accepting bookings.
Triumph Tiger 900 GT and Tiger 900 Rally Pro
The updated Triumph Tiger 900 GT and Tiger 900 Rally Pro may also be unveiled at IBW 2023. The 2024 Tiger 900 range gets subtle upgrades to the powertrain to improve power and torque, as well as a new TFT instrument console and more. Prices are expected to start at Rs 14 lakh (ex-showroom, India).
Yamaha R3
Yamaha R3 will make a grand comeback in India on December 15, 2023. The motorcycle is here to arrive in a new generation and a completely new avatar compared to its predecessor. Power will come from a 321 cc parallel-twin motor and prices are expected to start around Rs 4 lakh (ex-showroom).
Yamaha MT-03
The Yamaha MT-03 launched in India for the first time and is a naked version based on the R3. Both bikes have the same 321 cc twin-cylinder engine, but the alien-faced design language is borrowed from Yamaha’s larger streetfighter range. Prices for the MT-03 are expected to start at Rs 3.70 lakh (ex-showroom).
