Ducati India's launch plans for its new models were pushed by back by at least a quarter due to the Coronavirus lockdown.

Ducati Panigale V2

Bipul Chandra said "Panigale V2 will be the first bike that we plan to bring to India this year. Then we shall be going with the Multistrada and then the heritage (Scrambler 1100 Pro). So these are some of the product lines that we intend to bring to Indian market."

The Ducati Panigale V2 made its global debut at the World Ducati Premiere in October 2019 and it will be a replacement for the Panigale 959 globally and in India as well. The Ducati Panigale V2 gets a 955 cc super-quaddro L-twin motor that makes 155 bhp at 10,750 rpm and has a peak torque output of 104 Nm at 9,000 rpm. The USP is that the motorcycle has a dry weight of just 153 kg. Therefore, the power to weight ratio is going to be off the charts. We expect the motorcycle to be priced at about Rs. 16 lakh, which will be a little more than the current price of Rs. 15.3 lakh or the 959 Panigale.

While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
