Author Message   Hughlysses Posted on Friday, December 20, 2013 - 09:07 am:        Some interesting info in this article; specifically this quote: quote: This new quarter-litre machine is being developed in collaboration with Erik Buell Racing (EBR) and will also be sold in the United States of America. http://www.motorbeam.com/bikes/hero-karizma/hero-t o-showcase-250cc-bike-at-2014-auto-expo/   Satori Posted on Tuesday, December 24, 2013 - 12:45 pm:        Interesting that Its competition named in the article sells for 99,000 Rupe..Thats currently $1,600 US Dollars. I wonder how much that will have to go up to get imported?   Hughlysses Posted on Tuesday, December 24, 2013 - 09:51 pm:        ^ Good question. Well over $1600 I'd imagine. Here's another article on the bike; apparently the auto show at which it's supposed to be revealed is in February: http://www.indiancarsbikes.in/motorcycles/hero-mot ocorp-bring-erik-buell-racing-developed-250-cc-bik e-delhi-auto-expo-78347/   Reepicheep Posted on Wednesday, December 25, 2013 - 10:42 am:        I like it. It looks cool without looking like it is trying to hard to look cool. It would make a nice US bike also at a $2500 to $3000 or so price point.   Hughlysses Posted on Wednesday, December 25, 2013 - 11:56 am:        The picture is not the new 250 bike, which hasn't been revealed yet. Photos show the existing "Karizma" ZMR which is something less than 250cc. It'll be very interesting to see what the new engine turns out to be, since it was designed by EBR according to various articles.   Reepicheep Posted on Wednesday, December 25, 2013 - 03:38 pm:        Maybe a parallel twin... derived from the rumored triple.   Satori Posted on Wednesday, December 25, 2013 - 07:28 pm:        What can we expect from the 250cc Hero bike? It is likely to feature a full-faired design, petal discs and monoshock rear suspension. The engine is expected to be a single-cylinder unit producing around 26 BHP of power and 23 Nm of torque. The motor will get liquid-cooling, 4-valves and will be coupled to a 6-speed gearbox. Currently Hero’s flagship bike is the Karizma ZMR which in its recent update has got a power bump to 20 BHP. Expect Hero to price their new 250cc bike competitively against the Bajaj Pulsar 200 SS Read more at http://www.motorbeam.com/bikes/hero-karizma/hero-t o-showcase-250cc-bike-at-2014-auto-expo/#30erCdEWX fTVQ5LE.99 Sounds like decent power from it.   Satori Posted on Wednesday, December 25, 2013 - 07:29 pm:        What can we expect from the 250cc Hero bike?
