Royal Enfield's Next Iconic Bike in 2024

In 2021 Milan Show, Royal Enfield has introduced the concept of SG650 Twin in EICMA show, SG Means shotgun, Royal Enfield's biggest surprise at this year's Motoverse in Goa was the unveiling of the new Shotgun 650. May 2024 is anticipated to see the launch of the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 in India, with a projected price range of ₹ 3,00,000 to ₹ 3,50,000.The idea motorcycle's design features include a single floating-style seat, a short tubular handlebar, bar-end mirrors, chopped front and rear fender sections, and chunky tires. Additional styling references include the front end's polished aluminum finish in a classic manner and the fuel tank's digital graphics, which resemble modern motorcycles. Additionally, the 650cc parallel-twin engine has computerized graphics installed and Royal Enfield's next bobber-styled motorcycle will probably be built around this design.

A CNC billet machine fuel tank, wheels constructed of a solid aluminum block with integrated ABS, dual disc brakes at the front, upside-down front forks, and a hand-stitched black leather seat completed the concept motorbike. However, the final production model will be far more subdued.

Although the mechanical specs are currently unknown, we anticipate that they will be comparable to those of the Continental GT 650 and the Interceptor INT 650. The 648cc parallel-twin engine of the Continental GT 650 and the Interceptor INT 650 produces 52Nm of peak torque at 5,250 rpm and 47bhp at 7,250 rpm.

The paint scheme and graphics on this bike are unique to this edition, which will be limited to only 25 units. The production model will have more traditional graphics and paint schemes.RE claims that every unit of this bike has been customized over the course of months.

is that better than 650cc bikes in Royal Enfield series?

Although Royal Enfield has not revealed the bike's technical specifications, we do know that it is powered by the same 649cc parallel-twin engine that powers other 650s like the Interceptor 650.

The main chassis resembles that of the Super Meteor 650, but the rest of the cycle parts and overall geometry of the Shotgun differ to provide a unique riding experience. Currently on the market, the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650, Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, and Kawasaki Vulcan S are bikes that resemble the Shotgun 650. The BSA Gold Star, which will go on sale in India in December 2024, is another motorcycle that resembles the Shotgun 650.

Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 Motoverse edition priced at Rs 3.50 lakh :

At the event, the company displayed the Motoverse edition of the bike, which will be limited to only 25 units. This first batch of special edition Shotguns will be sold to 25 lucky Motoverse attendees for Rs 3.50 lakh (ex-showroom). This iteration is essentially a preview of the Shotgun 650's simpler and possibly more affordable production version.

The Shotgun 650 is based on the SG650 concept, which RE unveiled at the EICMA show in Milan in 2021. The Motoverse edition of the bike is distinguished by custom-designed, hand-painted body panels with gradient-style graphics.Notably, each of the 25 Shotgun 650 Motoverse trim units was custom-built over months and will never be produced again. While RE refers to it as a neo-retro roadster, the single-seat version resembles a bobber. However, a pillion seat will be available as an option.

Mechanically, the Shotgun 650 is similar to the Super Meteor 650, but it has a few differences, such as different wheels and overall geometry. Even the ergonomics of the Shotgun are distinct from those of other RE 650s. The engine is visually the same 649cc, air/oil-cooled, parallel-twin cylinder engine found in other RE 650s. This engine produces 47bhp and 52Nm and is mated to a six-speed transmission. We believe the brand has slightly altered the tuning of this motor for the Shotgun in order to match its personal preferences.

The Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 Motoverse edition will be delivered in January 2024, followed by the production model's debut in Europe and India.

2021 Royal Enfield Continental GT650 Review (BS6)

2021 Royal Enfield Continental GT650 Review (BS6)

GT650 is the only motorcycle till date that made me absolutely confident in riding a two wheeler on highway fastlane without a second thought. I have ridden multiple premium and performance motorcycles, the GT650 is something special – it is a power factory on the go. It elevates the definition of motorcycle to a new level, the way it is engineered and built, the way it looks and the way it roars…

Speed Read, September 12, 2021

We’re launching into this week’s round-up with a radically reworked Moto Guzzi Bellagio, and finishing off with a look at the upcoming Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello. Wedged in between are a garage-built Honda CB450, a rescued Harley-Davidson Sportster 883, and a Royal Enfield 650 from XTR Pepo.

Moto Guzzi Bellagio by Guzzi Motobox Custom shops that specialize in a particular marque have a habit of pulling out all the stops—and Guzzi Motobox in Catalonia is probably one of the best examples. After all, how many workshops could turn the laid back Moto Guzzi Bellagio into a fire breathing cafe racer?

GMB’s work on this Bellagio is a double whammy; they’ve not only dramatically changed its silhouette, but also given it a boost under the hood.

Using cylinders and pistons from specialist outfit Radical Guzzi, GMB took the motor from 935 cc to 1,500 cc, with four valves per cylinder instead of two. The team also converted the bike from fuel injection to a carbureted setup, and ditched the air box for a pair of velocity stacks. The stock exhaust headers were tweaked to run a pair of HP Corse mufflers.

The running gear’s been upgraded too, with the Showa forks from a Kawasaki ZX10R up front, and a custom built Öhlins shock out back.

The wheels are stunning 17” spoked units from Kineo, and the brakes are Brembos, complete with carbon fiber cooling ducts on the front discs. It wasn’t all plug-and-play though: GMB boss Manel Segarra reports that matching up the front forks, wheel and brakes took a lot of fiddling.

Higher up, GMB built a whole new subframe to sharpen up the Bellagio’s lines. The fuel tank and tail section, plus the front fender, are all custom pieces. “A close friend, German Dervidson, made them for us,” explains Manel. “We made the pieces in a special foam, and German replicated them with aluminum.”

The Guzzi also wears new rear sets and foot controls, with clip-ons, Beringer levers and switchgear from Renard Speed Shop up top. Other add-ons include new yokes, a small GMB speedo and an LED headlight. A custom carrier at the back holds the license plate, along with a pair of combo taillight and blinker LEDs. [Guzzi Motobox]

Honda CB450 by Scott Loyet There’s something special about hobby builds, and the blood, sweat and tears that are poured into them. This tastefully stylish Honda CB450 cafe racer is Scott Loyet’s first build—a project that took him four years to complete, because he resolved to only work on it when he “felt like it.” And it’s a pretty remarkable first effort.

Scott picked up the 1973 CB450 around the same time that his friend, Cory, also started working on a 70s-model CB.

“Cory has been my ‘Yoda’ throughout this project,”says Scott, “a man who has been around engines and motors all his life. My dad was a grease monkey, and I always admired the way he could fix anything on our family cars—and frankly, anything around the house, including hair dryers!”

“With no mechanical experience and new time on my hands since my kids had gotten older, I embarked on ripping apart my first bike. As my dad said to me, ‘you learn more from your mistakes’ and I learned A LOT. With parts and assistance from not only Cory, but also Dime City Cycles, Common Motor Collective and lots of YouTube videos, I was able to get over the finish line.”

Scott first stripped the bike down, then sent a bunch of parts off for fresh powder coating. The engine was refreshed with new valves and top end gaskets, and is now hooked up to Mikuni V32 carbs with velocity stacks from Speed Moto. Sparck Moto supplied a new wiring harness, and Scott installed an electronic ignition, new coils and plugs, a rebuilt starter, a Lithium-ion battery and a new regulator and rectifier.

Scott refreshed the front forks, but replaced the rear shocks with a new pair of Progressive units. The brakes were rebuilt, and the wheels re-laced with stainless spokes from Buchanan’s. Up top are new bars with wrapped Trip Machine Co. grips, and new dials. And all the lighting’s been replaced with LED units.

Scott had help along the way. CJ at Pullman Fabrications handled the custom battery box, rear loop and frame reinforcements, and built the new exhaust headers, which are connected to Lossa Engineering mufflers. Aaron at Pleasant Hill Auto Body massaged the fuel tank so that it’d transition with the seat better, Brian Jennings handled paint and Armand’s Auto Upholstery covered the seat.

“This bike was therapy for me,” says Scott, “with endless hours cleaning, shining and building. In the end, it is a tribute to my dad and an heirloom for my son or daughter.” [Images by Shirley DeFrancisci]

Harley-Davidson Sporster 883 by Minority Custom At a glance, this 2000-model Sportster 883 from Indonesia’s Minority Custom doesn’t break any major new ground. But it is very pretty and extremely tidy—impressive, when you consider that it started out as a wreck.

“’Simplicity is beauty’ is what our garage strives to show in our designs,” explains shop boss, Jonathan Evan. “We found this motorbike in a dull and damaged condition. Some parts of the engine were leaking and broken, oil was everywhere, and it had malfunctioning rear brakes and broken pistons.”

Minority rebuilt the Sporty inside and out, making a number of changes along the way. The crew wanted to give it a slight chopper stance—so they stretched the front forks and swapped the front wheel for a 21” hoop. There’s a solid 16” rear wheel at the back, hooked up to a custom-made sprocket.

Next, the OEM fuel tank was cut-and-shut to shrink it, and to make it sit tighter on the Harley’s backbone. Behind it is a custom leather seat, and behind that, a hand-made mini sissy bar that adds a touch of chopper sass, without going overboard.

Up front, tucked under the standard-issue Sportster headlight nacelle, is a smaller-than-stock light mounted on a custom-made bracket; a neat touch that most eyes won’t notice. The handlebars are one-offs too, as are the stainless steel slash-cut exhausts.

Top marks to Minority for the lush color scheme too—the frame’s been done in turquoise, with some green hues mixed in on the bodywork, and a smattering of chrome. The tank bears the shop’s own unique take on the typical Harley eagle motif, and was completely executed by hand. [Minority Custom | Images by Val Willson]

Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 by XTR Pepo A number of custom builders have already shown that Royal Enfield’s new generation Continental GT 650 is ripe for remodeling. But in the hands of the mad scientist Pepo Rosell, it’s really come alive.

This 2019-model Continental GT 650 is sporting a number of signature XTR Pepo touches—not least of all its heavy endurance racing vibe and protruding headlights. They’re mounted just forward of a custom fairing, which in turn sits on custom brackets.

Tucked behind are a CNC-machined top yoke from Riga Billet Parts and XTR Pepo clip-ons. The quick-throttle and right switches are from Domino, the brake master cylinder is a Brembo item, the clutch assembly is from a Suzuki GSX-R, and the levers are CNC-machined XTR Pepo parts. There’s also a new oil temperature gauge, and foot pegs and controls from K-Speed in Taiwan.

The custom fiberglass fuel tank lightly mimics the original design, but has a transparent strip on the side for checking levels, and an aluminum filler cap from ACC Endurance. The solo seat is Pepo’s design too, and the subframe’s been modified to match it.

Pepo replaced the rear shocks with new ones from YSS, swapped the 18” wheels for 17s, and shod them with Continental Road Attack tires. The exhaust headers have been shortened and now exhale through a pair of Turbokit megaphones.

Elsewhere, Pepo’s added LED turn signals, a custom license plate support, and a CNC-machined chain tensioner and sprocket cover from Riga Billet Parts. Artenruta handled the cheeky red livery—the perfect finishing touch for this rapid-looking Royal Enfield. [XTR Pepo | Images by Belen Piqueras]

The new Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello No, you’re not looking at a modern reinterpretation of the iconic Yamaha TDM850. This is the new Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello—a brand new ‘tall rounder’ with a brand new motor, that’ll make it’s official debut at EICMA in November.

Moto Guzzi have revealed nothing more than images and a teaser video [below] that desperately wants to remind you that the marque’s logo has an eagle in it. But there are a few dead giveaways and easy speculations. The engine looks to be all-new, with liquid cooling and an assumed capacity of 1,000 cc, and power is still directed via a shaft drive.

The video also reveals air channels on the fairing that open and close, and a windshield that moves up and down. It’s not clear whether these will operate automatically or not, but we’ve seen the term “active aerodynamics” bandied about, so make of it what you will.

Guzzi specialists Classic Co. either have inside info or are master speculators. They’ve pointed out a large airbox where the tank would go, an under seat fuel tank, and a four-valve-per-cylinder engine layout that can be bumped to 1,300 cc and used in a wide variety of applications. They’ve also cleverly noticed that the air intakes sit above the cylinder heads, and the exhaust ports below, unlike Guzzi’s current V-twins.

Looking at the red and green bikes that Guzzi have shown, it’s also clear that the V100 Mandello will most likely come in two models. Both are sporting Brembo brakes, but the green version [above] also has Öhlins suspension at both ends.

Overall, we’re digging the slightly 80s aesthetic, and it looks like it’d be a fun ride—as long as it delivers enough power in a decent weight class. Color us curious. [Moto Guzzi]

2022 Triumph Tiger 660 Sports Prototype First Look Tease

By: AdvWisdom Title: 2022 Triumph Tiger 660 Sports Prototype First Look Tease Sourced From: advwisdom.com/a/2022-triumph-tiger-660-sports-prototype-first-look-tease/ Published Date: Fri, 27 Aug 2021 02:22:28 +0000

These photos of a Triumph Tiger 660 sports prototype may not be as funny as authentic spy photos, but they are still worth a look. In our opinion, the following can be deduced from examining the images and the model name:

This is what a PR manager at Triumph Motorcycle America, Gina D’Ambrosio, tells us about the photos: “Triumph has tested the last prototype of the new Tiger Sport 660, which is said to bring triple engine performance advantages to the middleweight adventure athlete. No further information is currently being disclosed. “

We have a Triumph Tiger Sport 850 street-oriented adventure bike and a Triumph Trident 660 street bike with a retro look. If you look at the prototype Triumph Tiger 660 Sport, it quickly becomes clear that it is definitely a street-oriented motorcycle with ADV suspension with longer travel. As Triumph calls it, “middleweight adventure sports”.

That’s the same 660 triple found in the new Triumph Trident 660. This engine is based on the old Triumph Street Triple 675 mill and performs well in the Trident chassis. We expect this version of the venerable triple to be tuned for a bit more torque to reflect its ADV styling.

It is a little more difficult to determine the origin of the frame of the Tiger 660 Sport. The swing arm on the Tiger 660 Sport is definitely not the same as on the Trident 660 or Tiger 850 Sport. However, the frame looks like it is the same or closely related to the Trident 660 frame. The frame has nothing to do with the Tiger 850 Sport.

The Tiger 660 Sport’s inverted Showa fork is slightly different from the Trident fork. They are close, but not the same. The Tiger 660 Sport has more wheel clearance at the front and rear, so it will almost certainly have longer suspension travel.

The footrests are mounted further forward on the Tiger 660 Sport than on the Trident 660. This is in line with a switch for sport to ADV.

The Tiger 660 Sport has Michelin Road 5 tires mounted – the same rubber used on the Trident 660. That’s a lot more street-oriented than that Michelin Anakee Adventure tires on the Tiger 850 Sport.

The Tiger 850 Sport has a 19-inch front wheel, while the Tiger 660 Sport has an all-road 17-inch front wheel.

The Nissin calipers look the same on both 660s. The Triumph Tiger 850 Sport has Brembos units.

The Triumph Tiger 660 Sport has integrated slots for attaching suitcases. In addition, one of the photos shows assembled panniers. Let’s go on a trip!

We tested them Triumph Trident 660 and the Triumph Tiger 850 Sport

Here's How Much A Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Costs | HotCars

New Post has been published on https://coolcarsnews.com/heres-how-much-a-royal-enfield-interceptor-650-costs-hotcars/

Here's How Much A Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Costs | HotCars

The Regal Enfield commenced business in america only in 2015, that is a bit of a surprise for a brand name that has been making motorcycles given that 1901. But it was first family-owned, then went to Albert Eadie, then to BSA. Between all of this, a partnership that will happened between the Enfield Routine Company and India’s Madras Motors and Royal Enfield, a British-born brand grew to become an Indian (the nation, that is).

That said, RE motorcycles are usually exported all over the world and while the united kingdom recognizes the brand, these are now just back into the particular American market after making in the ‘70s and have 6 motorcycles on offer.

In the lowest engine shift, the 350cc, there is the Meteor, the Bullet, and the Traditional with the latter two having retro looks, replete along with spoked wheels. The Meteor is a modern take plus comes with more advanced features such as ABS.

There is also the Himalayan, the 411cc motorcycle that is said to be a comfortable off-roader mixed along with a healthy dosage of a dirt bike . And finally, there’s the kaffeehaus racer-like Continental GT as well as more brutish twin, the particular INT650, which is basically the Interceptor 650 but cannot take the Interceptor name because of a pre-existing Honda bike in the US.

ASSOCIATED: Every Gearhead Ought to Ride These Motorcycles At least one time

The Royal Enfield does not an expensive motorcycle create. Period. And this holds for any its models, ever since this hit the US market within 2015.

Somehow, Royal Enfield also overtook Harley-Davidson’s complete motorcycles sales in 2015 , although the difference within pricing is a big 1 indeed. And naturally, there is a big difference in the trip quality of a Harley plus an RE.

A Meteor 350cc is likely to fall below $5, 000, even below the particular $4, 999 starting associated with the Himalayan 411cc bicycle. The Classic and the Topic, now only existing because 350cc avatars are usually normally out of stock, presumably because the requirement in India is so higher, exporting them becomes a far-off goal.

Then come the 650cc twins, the cool, great continental GT, and the quite retro INT650, both which retail for under $6, 1000, depending on the customization involved.

So consider it a way cheaper version from the Triumph Bonneville , which usually incidentally keeps on boosting prices…

RELATED: eight Best Affordable Cruisers Being released In 2021

The particular Interceptor 650 starts with $5, 799 while the café-racer brother, the Ls GT is a slightly more expensive start at $5, 999. This particular price includes a three-year guarantee as well as roadside assistance, plus both come with standard ABDOMINAL MUSCLES, which is a cool feature the majority of bikes add with a more expensive version.

The particular INT650 is marketed since the Interceptor 650 in the remaining world and while Honda includes a trademark for the same in the US due to the 1983 V4 sports bicycle, Royal Enfield used to market an Interceptor in the US within the ‘60s as well.

To modernize itself plus move away from the Regal Enfield retros like the Topic and the Classic, the new twin babies have their own assembly ranges with a re-hauled quality manage process – and that three-year unlimited warranty shows the particular confidence RE has in the new bikes.

The frame is tube steel, made with the help of the united kingdom frame constructor Harris Efficiency while the bikes bear the sporty 24-degree rake plus 106mm trial. The 270-degree crank layout with a supplementary counterbalancer lessens vibration, or else a regular complaint from LSO ARE motorcycles. Floating Brembo brake systems (made by Indian additional ByBre) go as a 320mm disc, dual-piston set-up within the front, and a 240mm single-piston in the back.

Ergonomics-wise, the INT650 makes for far more comfort compared to sportier Continental GT, plus it can take you more than one hundred and eighty miles on a full container .

The particular 650-cc parallel-twin, air-and oil-cooled SOHC engines make a moderate 40-45 horses and an additional 40-ish ft-lb of torque, which usually does not sound all that excellent, but it is enough to take the particular bikes to an easy eighty mph on the highway with lots of low and mid-range energy. The brakes and suspension system hold up even on a tough ride although that’s not really what the 650-cc twins through RE are made for.

For the price, the particular INT650 and the continental GRAND TOURING offer more than enough comfort plus performance, and notably, do not have competition in the US. They are ideal starter bikes for those who would like to get into the motorcycling world.

ASSOCIATED: Here's Why You Require The V-Twin Victory Gunner Bobber

The tube-tires and spoked rims alllow for a cool retro look yet sadly, this also means punctures will happen way more often and become a bit tough to repair. The particular footpeg brackets on the still left are mildly irritating as well as the flip-up fuel cap does not have any lock, making it easy for one to tamper with the fuel.

But these are small issues, and you have to trip the INT650 to understand the reason why we are waxing eloquent about this. It feels good, rides nicely, and has an open-throated roar that is simply unmatched. It is the perfect new “old bike” and at less than $6, 1000, an awesome buy.

We have a 650cc cruiser, an Italian KTM 390 Duke rival and Honda’s 500cc lineup within the works for India. Here’s the previous week’s hottest information briefly.

The Most Significant “Debuts” of the Canceled 2020 Geneva Auto Show

The novel coronavirus, more specifically the disease it causes, COVID-19, single-handedly brought down one of the biggest events on the automotive calendar: the 2020 Geneva International Motor Show (GIMS). Fearing that its annual international auto show would serve as a breeding ground for the newest coronavirus strain that has spread rapidly across the globe, the Swiss government temporarily banned all gatherings of more than 1,000 people. But, even before that, automakers had started pulling out of the show for the same reasons, not wanting to put their people in the virus’s path.

But even without a physical venue, the show must—and did—go on. Many new cars that were set to make their debut at the Geneva auto show were still revealed digitally online, and some automakers even put on virtual press conferences live-streamed to the web. Geneva has historically been the show where automakers debut their fastest, most exclusive, most high-tech, [insert any other relevant superlatives here] new production models and concept cars, and this year’s remote event was no exception.

Alfa Romeo turned its Giulia Quadrifoglio sedan up several notches with the 540-hp Giulia GTA, the car that Alfa will no doubt field in an attempt to reclaim the fastest production sedan lap record at the Nürburgring. Meanwhile, Porsche unveiled its most potent variant of the 992—and the most powerful 911 to date—the 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S. And what would a Geneva auto show be without a multi-million-dollar, ultra-limited-edition exotic? The $1.9 million Bentley Mulliner Bacalar, with its beautiful and entirely bespoke design, debuted as Bentley’s most expensive car to date, and one of its most exclusive at only 12 units planned for production.

But there were many, many more important and lust-worthy vehicles unveiled than that, which is impressive considering the show was, technically, cancelled. Keep reading for the most significant cars we didn’t see in Geneva.

2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA

The 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA is a pretty, powerful, and pretty powerful challenge to the mightiest from BMW M and Mercedes-AMG. Based on the Giulia Quadrifoglio, which even in its regular 505-hp form stands on its own against the 444-hp BMW M3 and 503-hp Mercedes-AMG C63 S, the GTA is an even more horsepower-stuffed helping of sport-sedan braciole. And it’s a much more aerodynamically performative Giulia, with an even meatier wrapping of spoilers, wings, and flares. Hungry yet? Alfa Romeo‘s latest Italian sports sedan dish is on special, so act soon—only 500 GTAs will be built.

2021 Bentley Mulliner Bacalar

The Bacalar is essentially a Bentley Continental GT Convertible with a unique exterior and interior hand-crafted by Bentley Mulliner, the company’s storied coachbuilding division. Mechanically, not much has been changed. The W-12 under the Bacalar’s pricey hood has been tweaked to deliver 650 hp and 667 lb-ft of torque—increases of 24 hp and 3 lb-ft over the regular Conti GT engine. And the rear track has been widened 0.8 inch to give the car a more muscular stance. Only 12 will be made, each priced at just over $1.9 million (before options and taxes).

BMW i4 Concept

The Concept i4 is the start of a new chapter for BMW, and in a world that’s quickly moving toward electrification, the car is a big deal for one of the automotive world’s oldest marques. BMW’s designers know full well what they’re doing is going to ruffle a few feathers, but it doesn’t bother them at all. Their aim is to push BMW into the future, and they can’t do that by catering to those who want every BMW to look like an E28 5 Series. They aren’t sorry about the way this car looks. The i4 concept’s range is 373 miles on the European WLTP cycle (WLTP numbers are more generous than EPA figures, but the long-range Model S has a similar WLTP rating), and BMW says the powertrain makes up to 530 hp. The i4 concept is estimated to do the 0-60 sprint in 4 seconds and continue on to a top speed of 124 mph. Inside, there are almost no physical buttons, and everything is either controlled via the curved infotainment display or by touch buttons on the steering wheel or in the center stack.

2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

Mercedes has one of the largest rosters of fresh debuts of the show, particularly for the E-Class family. The entire E-Class lineup is refreshed from top to bottom, including a touched-up Mercedes-AMG E 53 and a reworked E-Class All-Terrain that’s coming to America. The W213-generation of E-Class we’ve enjoyed since the 2017 model year also gets a new face, new interior trimmings, and new technology for the 2021 model year, along with America’s first crack at the plug-in hybrid E 350e sedan.

2020 McLaren 765LT

The 765LT is based on the McLaren 720S, the stupendously fast yet remarkably approachable hypercar that just got edged out of the MotorTrend 2018 Best Driver’s Car by the Lamborghini Huracán Performante. For the record, the 765LT’s tail, which features a new rear bumper and the “Longtail” active rear spoiler that boosts downforce by 25 percent, is longer—by 0.4 inch—than the 720S’. But, ironically, aerodynamic upgrades at the front of the car that include a new front splitter, front bumper, and front floor mean the nose has been extended by 1.6 inch. “Longnose” doesn’t have quite the same cachet, though …

2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S

Anyone who follows Porsche‘s 911 variant release cycle knew the 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S coupe and Cabriolet models were coming, and for some time. After all, a new 911 always means a new Turbo. For our part, we drove prototype versions of the cars late last year and came away mighty impressed. And after a series of leaks, the full-on production versions of the coupe and Cabriolet models are here, meaning we finally have all the juicy details on the most powerful 911 Turbo in Porsche history. The new Turbo makes 640 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque from a twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat-six, and is estimated to run from 0 to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds (or 2.7 with the drop-top).

2021 Volkswagen GTI MkVIII

Despite Volkswagen‘s harried push toward electrification, the automaker is letting one key sleeping dog in its stable lie: The iconic Golf GTI. The all-new MkVIII GTI hot hatchback arrives for 2021 with its tried-and-true turbocharged four-cylinder engine, standard manual transmission, and available tartan plaid seats in place. The closest VW gets to electrifying the GTI formula is the updated European-market GTE gasoline-electric hybrid. American hot-hatch fans needn’t concern themselves with that dog, though.

2021 Volkswagen ID 4

Volkswagen makes good on its promise to upgrade American consumers from its ID 3 compact electric car to the larger electric ID 4 compact crossover SUV, thus ensuring the first of its ID-branded EVs for the U.S. market is more appealing. Originally planned as part of the since-canceled 2020 Geneva motor show‘s round of debuts, the ID 4 was unveiled digitally in prototype form. As expected, it appears to be a production-ready version of the ID Crozz concept, and carries over many of its inspirational forebear’s styling details, including its swooping shoulder line, militant mug, and wide rear haunches. The first vehicle built on the modular MEB platform that Volkswagen will offer in the U.S. is expected to get 310 miles of range based on the notoriously optimistic Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure, but expect EPA numbers to be lower.

Here's How Much A Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Costs | HotCars

New Post has been published on https://coolcarsnews.com/heres-how-much-a-royal-enfield-interceptor-650-costs-hotcars/

Here's How Much A Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Costs | HotCars

The Regal Enfield commenced business in america only in 2015, that is a bit of a surprise for a brand name that has been making motorcycles given that 1901. But it was first family-owned, then went to Albert Eadie, then to BSA. Between all of this, a partnership that will happened between the Enfield Routine Company and India’s Madras Motors and Royal Enfield, a British-born brand grew to become an Indian (the nation, that is).

That said, RE motorcycles are usually exported all over the world and while the united kingdom recognizes the brand, these are now just back into the particular American market after making in the ‘70s and have 6 motorcycles on offer.

In the lowest engine shift, the 350cc, there is the Meteor, the Bullet, and the Traditional with the latter two having retro looks, replete along with spoked wheels. The Meteor is a modern take plus comes with more advanced features such as ABS.

There is also the Himalayan, the 411cc motorcycle that is said to be a comfortable off-roader mixed along with a healthy dosage of a dirt bike . And finally, there’s the kaffeehaus racer-like Continental GT as well as more brutish twin, the particular INT650, which is basically the Interceptor 650 but cannot take the Interceptor name because of a pre-existing Honda bike in the US.

The Royal Enfield does not an expensive motorcycle create. Period. And this holds for any its models, ever since this hit the US market within 2015.

Somehow, Royal Enfield also overtook Harley-Davidson’s complete motorcycles sales in 2015 , although the difference within pricing is a big 1 indeed. And naturally, there is a big difference in the trip quality of a Harley plus an RE.

A Meteor 350cc is likely to fall below $5, 000, even below the particular $4, 999 starting associated with the Himalayan 411cc bicycle. The Classic and the Topic, now only existing because 350cc avatars are usually normally out of stock, presumably because the requirement in India is so higher, exporting them becomes a far-off goal.

Then come the 650cc twins, the cool, great continental GT, and the quite retro INT650, both which retail for under $6, 1000, depending on the customization involved.

So consider it a way cheaper version from the Triumph Bonneville , which usually incidentally keeps on boosting prices…

The particular Interceptor 650 starts with $5, 799 while the café-racer brother, the Ls GT is a slightly more expensive start at $5, 999. This particular price includes a three-year guarantee as well as roadside assistance, plus both come with standard ABDOMINAL MUSCLES, which is a cool feature the majority of bikes add with a more expensive version.

The particular INT650 is marketed since the Interceptor 650 in the remaining world and while Honda includes a trademark for the same in the US due to the 1983 V4 sports bicycle, Royal Enfield used to market an Interceptor in the US within the ‘60s as well.

To modernize itself plus move away from the Regal Enfield retros like the Topic and the Classic, the new twin babies have their own assembly ranges with a re-hauled quality manage process – and that three-year unlimited warranty shows the particular confidence RE has in the new bikes.

The frame is tube steel, made with the help of the united kingdom frame constructor Harris Efficiency while the bikes bear the sporty 24-degree rake plus 106mm trial. The 270-degree crank layout with a supplementary counterbalancer lessens vibration, or else a regular complaint from LSO ARE motorcycles. Floating Brembo brake systems (made by Indian additional ByBre) go as a 320mm disc, dual-piston set-up within the front, and a 240mm single-piston in the back.

Ergonomics-wise, the INT650 makes for far more comfort compared to sportier Continental GT, plus it can take you more than one hundred and eighty miles on a full container .

The particular 650-cc parallel-twin, air-and oil-cooled SOHC engines make a moderate 40-45 horses and an additional 40-ish ft-lb of torque, which usually does not sound all that excellent, but it is enough to take the particular bikes to an easy eighty mph on the highway with lots of low and mid-range energy. The brakes and suspension system hold up even on a tough ride although that’s not really what the 650-cc twins through RE are made for.

For the price, the particular INT650 and the continental GRAND TOURING offer more than enough comfort plus performance, and notably, do not have competition in the US. They are ideal starter bikes for those who would like to get into the motorcycling world.

The tube-tires and spoked rims alllow for a cool retro look yet sadly, this also means punctures will happen way more often and become a bit tough to repair. The particular footpeg brackets on the still left are mildly irritating as well as the flip-up fuel cap does not have any lock, making it easy for one to tamper with the fuel.

But these are small issues, and you have to trip the INT650 to understand the reason why we are waxing eloquent about this. It feels good, rides nicely, and has an open-throated roar that is simply unmatched. It is the perfect new “old bike” and at less than $6, 1000, an awesome buy.
