Mechanically, no changes are announced on the engine and cycle parts. The same 853 cc, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled, four-valve engine continues to power the middleweight GS models. With two balance shafts, the engine is claimed to offer smooth performance, spontaneous response, impressive pulling force and low fuel consumption. On the BMW F 750 GS, the 853 cc, parallel-twin makes 77 bhp of maximum power at 7,500 rpm and delivers peak torque of 83 Nm at 6,000 rpm. On the BMW F 850 GS and F 850 GS Adventure models, the same engine produces 95 bhp at 8,250 rpm and delivers 92 Nm of torque at 6,250 rpm.

The BMW F 750 GS gets alloy wheels and the 853 cc engine has a different state of tune

However, the anti-lock braking system (ABS) cannot be completely switched off now, in accordance with new homologation requirements. The Enduro and Enduro Pro riding modes now provide appropriately adapted controls for this. In the Enduro Pro riding mode (only available in BMW F 850 GS and BMW F 850 GS Adventure), the ABS function on the rear wheel can be switched off. The new bikes are expected to be available on sale in BMW dealerships around Europe by September. For India, BMW Motorrad is expected to introduce the updated models by the end of the year.

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. The Brixton brand though is part of Austria's KSR Group, which imports bikes from several Chinese manufacturers, including CF Moto. And while the new Bonneville rival will be manufactured in China, the design and engineering has been created at KSR's design centre in Krups, Austria.

Image
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. None of these models are offered on sale in India, but with new emission regulations looming around the corner in Europe, Honda is possibly looking to explore an increase in displacement to meet those norms.

Indian FTR 1200 Rally Revealed

Image
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.
