The best bike in the world just got better. With more power and an industry first, Off-road Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA), there's never been a better time to get on a GS

And for 2008, the world's most rugged adventure tourer features enhancements that make it even more adept at reaching the unreachable. A 5% increase in horsepower kicks its engine output to 105 HP.

Add Enduro ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment) and you can customize both front and rear suspension settings to fit off-road or on-road riding conditions with the flick of a switch.

Premium bikes in india




Check out the Yamaha RD 350 , TVS Apache RTR 160, Yamaha FZ , Hero Honda Karizma 225, Bajaj Pulsar220, Yamaha R15. Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350.





Premium bikes have emerged as the major growth drivers for the motorcycle industry that is reeling under the burden of high interest rate and lack of finance. The segment, which includes bikes of 150 cc and above, has grown by 5% in the first three quarters of 2007-08 as against a 12% dip in the total sales of motorcycles in India during this period.





According to industry estimates, the premium bike segment contributed 11% to the overall sales of motorcycles in the country till October 2007. However, various new launches since then, for instance TVS Motors' Apache RTR 160, Hero Honda Hunk and Bajaj Pulsar 220 cc, have taken up the total share of the segment to 15-16% now and it is expected to grow further.With the economy booming and people moving up the salary bracket, there has been an increase in demand for distinctive and customised products. As a result, these premium bikes have emerged as the biggest growth segment for us,” says Anil Dua, vice president (sales and marketing) Hero Honda, adding that even the availability of large number of models spanning across various engine capacities have boosted the growth in the segment






The two-wheeler major, which forayed into the premium segment in 1999 with CBZ, claims a growth of over 100% in the premium category during the first three quarters of this fiscal. This has resulted in an increase in its market share in the segment from 10% earlier to 21% now. Major bikes in the premium segment include Bajaj Pulsar 150 cc, 180 cc and now 220 cc and Avenger, TVS Fiero and TVS Apache RTR 160 as well Hero Honda Karizma, CBA Extreme and Achiever.



Besides growing demand, huge margins in the segment have also led major players in the industry to focus on premium bikes. “Bike in the range of 150 cc and above offer huge profit margins unlike the entry-level segment which is a no margin category. As a result when high interest rates and inadequate finance impacted the sales of entry-level 100 cc bikes, these premium motorcycles remained unaffected and hence managed to offset the margin pressures to a great extent,” says an industry analyst.

Customizing/Modifying your bike






Hi friends !

Most bike owners want to add a personal stamp to their machines. Aftermarket motorcycle parts make this easy no matter what your technical skill is. However before slapping on custom chrome everywhere, you want to have a plan. You want your bike to have a consistent look and feel, not a patchwork appearance

As you shop for custom motorcycle parts, you will find a piece here and there that speaks to you. It might be a set of motorcycle fenders or chrome motorcycle tanks or something else. If you just snatch up these parts and slap them on the bike then you may have a cool spot here and there, but the overall image will be weak.

Instead, use these individual parts as inspiration for an entire design. Think about how each piece compliments the other, how they fit the lines of your motorcycle, and how they match the image you want to relate. A unifying theme makes the whole bike greater than the sum of its parts and will lead to a custom creation that will turn heads.

You don't have to have a complete design plan at this point but you want some idea

of your goal.

Now that you see the whole, look at the pieces

Once you have a design concept, start mentally taking the bike apart.

Start with the front end. Replacing the wheels or forks will create sweeping changes in the look of the bike, but smaller details like axle covers add subtlety that really separates you from the crowd

Move your focus along the bike to the engine, the dominant feature of the machine. Chrome motorcycle parts like lifter block covers really draw the eye and tell everyone that you aren't riding a stock bike. Of course the engine is more than just pretty and there are many custom motorcycle parts that will improve performance.

The other important component in this area is the seat. Unless the bike is just for show, you want to consider your comfort. Options for seats and handlebars can make riding your motorcycle an even greater pleasure.

Now move along to the back end of the bike. Here again you have both functional and decorative choices. You can add bags for cargo capacity, a comfortable seat for a passenger, or you can strip off the function and chrome out the back end to leave a dazzling final impression

Shop for the right parts

Once you have the design details down, it's just a matter of finding the right custom motorcycle parts to fit. The custom job doesn't have to cost more than the bike did, either. You can find discount motorcycle parts that are high quality additions to your street machine

Take the time to make a plan so you will have a bike that is an extension of your true self, not an off-the-shelf carbon copy of every other one out there !!!!!
