TVS Wego Discontinued In India; Will Be Manufactured Only For Export Markets

TVS Motor Company has discontinued the TVS Wego in India. The TVS Wego was first launched in 2010 as a rival to the Honda Activa. As a scooter, it was quite rich in features. It had a 12-inch wheel, telescopic forks up front. When introduced as a BS4 model, it had a USB port on offer as well. The last time the TVS Wego got an update was in 2018 where it got new graphics design, new colour schemes and a few added features as well. The scooter also got a new seat along with pass-by switch and a maintenance free battery. Over the years, sales of the TVS Wego had declined and the Jupiter became more popular. With the coming of the TVS NTorq 125, it was further pushed back.

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production. The bike was showcased as a concept at last year's EICMA motorcycle show, and from the looks of it, this is a model developed in China with the Triumph Bonneville T120 in its sights.

Latest patent images from Japan seem to indicate that Honda may be working on an all-new 850 cc, parallel-twin engine. And the new engine, with more displacement to meet the Euro 5 emission regulations, will replace the current engine on the Honda NC750 range, with the engine and chassis shares amongst several Honda models including the Honda NC750S naked bike, the NC750D Integra scooter, the NC750X adventure tourer, as well as the Honda X-ADV adventure scooter.

Indian FTR 1200 Rally Revealed

Indian Motorcycle took the wraps off the Indian FTR 1200 Rally, which is an off-road biased version of the standard Indian FTR 1200 . The FTR 1200 Rally looks more of a scrambler than a flat-tracker and boy, does it look good! There are a few changes on the Rally compared to the standard model such as ProTaper handlebars, which are 50 mm higher. This results in a more upright seating position. The alloy wheels are swapped out for Aluminium spoke wheels wrapped in knobby Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR rubber. The FTR 1200 Rally also gets a new Titanium smoke paint scheme along with the Indian headdress logo along with a brown seat, giving the motorcycle a stripped out retro look. There is a new rally windscreen as well, which sits atop the headlamp. Also Read: Indian FTR 1200 Review (The Indian FTR 1200 Rally gets the same engine as the standard FTR 1200.
