Honda CBR250RR for the less experienced comes out next year

According to sources, Honda might launch CBR250RR with in a year’s time in the European market. This bike would be meant for those people who have interest in biking but are less experienced. The bike is expected to have an aluminum frame; the engine would consist of an upgraded version of the 250cc V-twin engine of VTR250.

With the Indian market starting to get exposed to bikes such as the Kawasaki Ninja 250R, I think it would not be a bad move if Honda launches their CBR250RR in India as well. Honda has already launched their super bikes like CBR1000RR and CB1000R which have made their presence in the superbike segment felt in our country.

Autoweek has published a computer-generated image of the upcoming Hyundai i20 MPV. The MPV version challenges the might of Opel Meriva in Europe, one of the best selling mini MPVs in that part of the world.

The MPV version is expected to come with the same line-up of petrol and diesel engines. We don’t expect the i20 MPV here in India in the immediate future but once the local players like Mahindra and others launch their respective smaller vehicles, Hyundai could take a look.
