Kawasaki Motorcycles is the most sought-after superbike brand in India. In fact, they claim themselves to be the number one premium motorcycle manufacturer in the country. And, we do agree that as out on the streets we can see a lot of Kawasaki superbikes spreading the love of green everywhere. Kawasaki sells the most number of premium bikes in India but until now, their entire portfolio was BS4 compliant. However, things are going to change now as the bikemaker has started accepting bookings for the 2020 Kawasaki Ninja 650 BS6 and Z650 BS6 and these motorcycles will be launched really soon in India.

For 2020, along with the BS6 update, Kawasaki has also given these motorcycles a substantial upgrade in terms of equipment like the addition of a new LED headlamp, a full-colour TFT dashboard and more. Starting with the new add-ons one-by-one, the Z650 BS6 now gets a new more aggressive and sharper-looking headlamp cowl which is inspired by its elder sibling Z900. The motorcycle is now available in only one colour variant - Metallic Spark Black and will be shod in new Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tyres that will contribute to its superb handling character. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Screen-Shot-2020-05-05-at-1.55.19-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-8295"/></figure>



The 2020 Kawasaki Ninja 650 BS6 has also got similar updates. It now looks more aggressive than before, thanks to the new twin LED headlights, new design cues with sharper-looking fairing and a revised tail-section. It now also gets an improved wind-shield and will be shod in new Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 tyres that will contribute to its brilliant ride and handling. Also, its sleek and sporty design inspires confidence in riders. The 2020 Ninja 650 BS6 is available in two colour variants - Lime Green Ebony and Pearl Flat Stardust White.

The 2020 Kawasaki Ninja 650 BS6 and Z650 BS6 also get new 4.3-inch TFT display for instrumentation which is now loaded with more information than before and also gets Bluetooth connectivity to wirelessly connect your phone. The system can also be connected via 'RIDEOLOGY THE APP', through which a number of instrumentation functions can be accessed, contributing to an enhanced motorcycling experience. 



Powering this Kawasaki 650s is a BS6-compliant 649cc liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, parallel-twin motor that churns out 68 PS of power at 8000 RPM and 64 Nm of torque at 6700 RPM. The engine is coupled to a 6-speed manual gearbox that is assisted by a slipper clutch. The suspension duties are handled by 41mm telescopic front forks and an adjustable pre-load mono-shock absorber at the rear. Both the motorcycles get 300mm petal disc at the front and 220mm petal disc at the rear along with an additional safety aid of dual-channel ABS.

The bookings for the BS6-compliant Ninja 650 and Z650 are now open and the bikes will be launched as soon as the lockdown is uplifted. Moreover, it was in January 2020 itself that Kawasaki has announced the prices for these motorcycles. The 2020 Kawasaki Ninja 650 BS6 will be priced between Rs. 6.65 lakhs - Rs. 6.79 lakhs and the Kawasaki Z650 BS6 will be priced between Rs. 6.25 lakhs - Rs. 6.50 lakhs, all prices stick to Ex-showroom Delhi.

TVS Motor Company is one of the largest and most reputed two-wheeler manufacturers in the world. This Madras-based home-grown automaker has gained immense popularity in recent years due to its well-rounded products in every segment. TVS Motorcycles collaborated with the German giant BMW Motorrad in 2013 and has been making motorcycles with them since 2018. The Apache RR 310 and BMW G310 twins were the first set of motorcycles under this alliance and now TVS is planning to soon launch a new bike under the concordat. So, is this the upcoming 2021 TVS Apache RTR 310?

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/tvs-draken4-1.jpg" alt="Apache RTR 310 launch date and price in india" class="wp-image-7895" /></figure>



First of all, let us give you a quick gist of the TVS-BMW partnership. This Indo-German alliance was formed back in 2013 with the main objective to attract the mid-capacity bike buyers, sub-500cc to be precise, and the coalition nailed in doing it. The BMW G310 R, G310 GS and the Apache RR 310 were the initiation products to be developed under this alliance. The design and development of the bikes were majorly done by BMW, but the production facility took place at TVS’ Hosur plant in Tamil Nadu. 



However, it has been more than three years of the Apache RR 310 launch and the Apache Fanboys have been in anticipation for a new motorcycle since a long time and here comes the good news. K.N. Radhakrishnan, TVS Motor Company's President and CEO, has confirmed at one of the company’s earnings conference that a second TVS-BMW product will be launched in 2021 and it will be based on the same platform.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/tvs-draken3.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-7896" /></figure>



Also, while speaking about the updated fully-faired BS6-compliant TVS Apache RR 310, he said that TVS will launch another variant of the same motorcycle possibly next year clearly hinting us that it will be a naked version of the RR 310. It is known to all that all TVS Apache naked motorcycles come with an RTR moniker and thus the new upcoming motorcycle will be most likely known as the TVS Apache RTR 310.



The upcoming RTR 310 will borrow cycle parts, platform, powertrain and features from its faired sibling. It means that the RTR 310 will be powered by a BS6-compliant&nbsp;312cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that churns out 34 PS of power and 28 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. TVS might also re-tune the engine of the motorcycle to suit the character of an aggressive naked streetfighter.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/tvs-draken5.jpg" alt="apache RTR 310 price in india" class="wp-image-7897" /></figure>



The RR 310 will pack in good hardware too. It might feature an assist &amp; slipper clutch and ride-by-wire throttle technology with four different riding modes - Urban, Rain, Sport, and Track as we saw on the updated RR 310. The motorcycle will also feature more relaxed ergonomics with sharp handling and will be likely shod-in new Michelin Road 5 rubbers. We expect TVS to also equip it with a 5-inch TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity too.



Talking about the launch timeline, the all-new TVS Apache RTR 310 will go on sale in India only in 2021 and we expect the motorcycle to be priced around Rs. 2.10 lakhs, Ex-showroom. This naked streetfighter will give tough competition to other naked motorcycles like the KTM Duke 390, Honda CB 300R, Benelli TNT 300, and its own cousin BMW G310 R.

New TVS-BMW Bike Coming Soon: Is It The 2021 TVS Apache RTR 310?

Hero had an interesting concept on display at the 2020 Hero world. It has gained so much popularity thanks to the growing culture of off-road adventure for two wheels as well. Hero Motocorp hadn't disclosed exact facts and figures of the Xpulse 300 at the event but we come to know certain details about the 2021 Xpulse 300 ADV from Hero Motocorp.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/WhatsApp-Image-2020-04-25-at-1.08.36-PM.jpg" alt="Hero Xpulse 300 front" class="wp-image-7097"/></figure>

This new ADV motorcycle from Hero will have a 300+ cc engine and will be the biggest offering from Hero in India. Not only the displacement of the engine, but this new engine will also be the first one to get liquid cooling as well. Inspecting closely reveals the new Trellis frame which comes as a surprise as Hero hasn't used a trellis frame in any of their motorcycles in India. Trellis frame will come out as an advantage with this motorcycle as it is simpler to build and lightweight with added rigidity too.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/WhatsApp-Image-2020-04-25-at-1.08.36-PM-1.jpg" alt="Hero Xpulse 300 " class="wp-image-7098"/></figure>



As the engine will be more than 300cc in displacement, we expect it to produce around 25-30 PS. The main highlight of the engine will be the low-end torque which will help to defeat trails and steep climbs with ease. We can't say much about how the final product will look like as the bike showcased had no body panels. 2021 Hero Xpulse 300 will be thoroughly engineered and very capable. The concept bike was equipped with USD forks, tube-type tyres, spoke rims, bash guard, Bybre front brake calliper and single-piece handlebar.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/WhatsApp-Image-2020-04-25-at-1.08.37-PM.jpg" alt="Hero Xpulse 300 rear" class="wp-image-7099"/></figure>

The Hero Motocorp is still developing the Xpulse 300 and it will take around a year to hit the dirt. The longer development time is needed to tackle the fierce competition in the budget ADV bikes segment which includes RE Himalayan, BMW 310 GS and KTM RC 390 Adv. We can expect really competitive pricing owing to the Hero' cunning strategies to price their bikes well. Plus, Hero will be exporting this motorcycle to markets where it is very strong - including Mexico, Argentina and Brazil.

Benelli is a renowned Italian Motorcycle manufacturer known for making high-performance motorcycles at accessible prices. Benelli entered the Indian market in the year 2014 and the DSK-Benelli group enjoyed good success in the domestic market. However, the alliance parted their ways in 2018 and it was in 2019 that Benelli wanted to re-enter the Indian market and thus they came by forming a partnership with Mahavir Group of Hyderabad. The second inning of Benelli has been so far quite good in India and the sports motorcycle manufacturer even launched a retro cruiser, which is by far its most affordable offering in the Indian market. The Imperiale 400 was launched in India last year and now the bikemaker is prepping up to launch the 2020 Benelli Imperiale 400 BS6.

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Benelli-Imperiale-400-Specifications.jpg" alt="imperiale 400 bs6 price" class="wp-image-6998" /></figure>



Benelli has aggressive plans for India 2.0 and the bikemaker launched an array of products in the Indian market in 2019. The current Benelli Motorcycles portfolio include - Imperiale 400, TNT 300, Tornado 302R, TNT 600i, Leoncino 250, Leoncino 500, and Benelli TRK 502 and TRK 502X. Amongst these, the Imperiale 400 is a retro-cruiser and holds the tagline of the cheapest Benelli in India. The Leoncino duo are scrambler motorcycles while the TRK series is for long-distance touring and adventure. The 300cc and the 600cc Benelli's are those motorcycles, making in which this Italian bikemaker truly excels.



Now talking about the Imperiale 400 BS6, the Benelli Imperiale 400 was launched in India in October 2019 at an introductory price of Rs. 1.69 lakhs Ex-showroom and at that price, it found a lot of takers. However, the price was introductory and the prices were recently hiked by 10,000 rupees. But that's not all, the Imperiale 400 is currently in the BS4 avatar and the brand will very soon launch the 2020 Benelli Imperiale 400 BS6 in India and reports claim that this BS6-compliant Imperiale 400 will demand 40,000 rupees premium over the BS4 model.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Benelli-Imperiale-400-Instrument-Cluster-1.jpg" alt="benelli imperiale 400 instrument cluster" class="wp-image-6999" /></figure>



The expected asking price for the BS6-compliant Benelli Imperiale 400 seems quite high because the motorcycle already got a fuel-injected system while being BS4-compliant. The 2020 Benelli Imperiale 400 BS6 is very likely to be priced at Rs. 2.20 lakhs, Ex-showroom pan-India. While there is no legit rationale, the reasons cited for the premium price of the motorcycle are due to the BS6 updates and high USD (United States Dollar) currency exchange rates. 



Apart from BS6-compliance, the motorcycle won't get any big update except for the fact that it might get some new colours and fresh decals. It will be powered by the same 374cc, single-cylinder, 4-stroke, air-cooled, SOHC engine that produces 21 PS of power at 5500 RPM and 29 Nm of peak torque at 4500 RPM, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The motorcycle now gets a larger catalytic converter and an O2 sensor for Bharat Stage 6 compliance. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Benelli-Imperiale-400-Rear.jpg" alt="benelli imperiale 400 vs jawa 42" class="wp-image-7000" /></figure>

The Benelli Imperiale 400 is the most feature-loaded motorcycle in its category and it gets better mechanicals and more features than its rivals like a new instrument cluster that displays the speedometer, tachometer, etc. in analogue format and a small digi-console that displays the gear position indicator, etc. The Benelli Imperiale 400 is indeed a good motorcycle but with such high asking price will people still consider buying it, that's a big question mark? Once launched, the Benelli Imperiale 400 BS6 will compete against the likes of Royal Enfield Classic 350 BS6 and BS6-compliant Jawa Motorcycles.

India is the largest two-wheeler market in the world and in our country motorcycles are the most widely used mode of intra-city and inter-city mobility. We have different types of motorcycles to suit the distinct needs of customers. For some, motorcycles are just meant for commuting from point A to point B while for others it's an emotion and they love to munch miles on it. Likewise, we have different technology in motorcycles and the engine cooling system is one of them. In this article, we will apprise you with some basic knowledge of engine cooling system and also with the help of a video, we will explain to you How to install bolt-on oil-cooler kit in Royal Enfield motorcycles.

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/oil-cooled-RE-1-1.jpg" alt="air cooled vs oil cooled vs liquid cooled" class="wp-image-8189"/></figure>



So, first things first, as we all know engines convert energy produced by the burning of the fuel into mechanical energy but not all the energy generated by combustion is converted and a big chunk of it gets dissipated as heat energy. Thus, for the smooth running of an engine and to maintain optimum temperature and performance, the engine needs to be cooled down and here the engine-cooling tech comes into the picture. Basically, there are three types of engine cooling mechanism: air-cooled, oil-cooled, and liquid-cooled. Among these, liquid-cooled is the most effective while air-cooled is the least, however, oil-cooled sits in between offering the best of both the worlds (cost and functionality-wise).



Royal Enfield Motorcycles generally come with an air-cooled system which does its work fairly well but is not very effective if someone goes long-distance touring in summers and it has a few more cons too. So, what to do if you want the charm of owning a Royal Enfield but want a decent cooling technology in your motorcycle? We have a solution for you. Faridabad-based firm <a href="https://www.facebook.com/venture.inc/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Venture Inc (opens in a new tab)">Venture Inc</a> has developed a bolt-on oil-cooler kit for Royal Enfield 350cc and 500cc motorcycles. These are cost-effective, work pretty well in the long-term course, and can be installed in the motorcycle with very minimal to no changes in the engine chamber.



<figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



The developer has designed this kit himself and has been using it on his Royal Enfield Classic 500cc Chrome Edition since 2017. To install the kit, he has just removed the stock filter cover &amp; filter and replaced it with the chrome-pipe attachment with a new filter in the holdings. The kit has been installed without any drilling or modification and has been installed on the three bolts of the stock chamber and thus it is called a bolt-on kit. It also gets a universal mounting bracket and the oil radiator has been borrowed from the Royal Enfield Himalayan. It has been designed very well to clean the sludge through pipes and fill the oil conveniently.



The designer also says that he is developing a new attachment to get the oil temperature data which will be installed at a later point of time. The current radiator panel also gets a stock radiator guard from Royal Enfield and the developer says that he is keen on developing a Version 2.0 of this oil radiator kit. He has himself tested the kit on his motorcycle for four thousand plus kilometres with a single oil change which was not required as per the user manual but he did it to check the viscosity of the oil.

Lastly, let us tell you some advantages of an oil-cooling system:



<ul><li>Simple design with less number of parts.</li><li>More effective in cooling than an old-school air-cooled system.</li><li>Easy to manufacture and cheaper than&nbsp;liquid-cooled engines.</li><li>Lightweight as compared to advanced liquid-cooled engines.</li><li>Easy to maintain with lower maintenance cost compared to&nbsp;liquid-cooled engines.</li></ul>



So, this was a brief article on the engine cooling system of motorcycles which highlights the different cooling mechanisms, pros of oil-cooled system, and also explains how to install an oil-cooler kit in Royal Enfield motorcycles. Frankly speaking, this kit can be very beneficial for those who go on long-distance road trips in varying climate situations and in those conditions, one shouldn't have to worry much about overheating if they have a good cooling mechanism in their motorcycle. Also, some riders gave positive feedback about it stating that using a motorcycle oil cooler can silence some engine noise, especially at higher ambient temperatures.
