The annual motorcycle fest Intermot always brings loads of new motorcycles for everyone around the world. Think of the festival as the Auto Expo, racing and custom contest combined on a much bigger international scale. So we decided to make a list of some of the motorcycles which we are excited about. Let’s take a look-Kawasaki 125 series:
The 125 cc platform from Kawasaki is getting an update in the form of a brand new engine and design. The upcoming 2019 Ninja 125 and Z125 are designed from the ground up to be a starter bike for the A2 license holders in Europe. The 125 cc liquid cooled engine will feature around 14.6 HP while sitting inside a trellis frame. No longer the Z125 looks like a Grom as the new model features dual 17-inch wheels and a taller riding position. Both bikes will not come to India due to “Value for money” and “tough competition” issues.Indian FTR 1200:
On October 1st, this motorcycle launch will fulfill the desires of Flat Track Racing fans. It would probably be the first of its kind and with a blend of cruiser and scrambler, the FTR 1200 is expected to blow a lot of people away. This, of course, can backfire, if the production model fails to live up to the hype, but every Flat-track racing fan out there is hoping that it just isn’t true. 2019 Suzuki Katana:
“Katana” was a name given to the 80’s Suzuki sports bike which was developed by an ex-BMW Chief in Germany. The bike’s production was halted in 2006, and at that time, the sporty nature of the bike was transformed to a sport touring one. At EICMA last year, Suzuki showed off a concept “Katana 3.0”, which was a custom-made Suzuki GSX-1000F. It was designed by famous designer Rodolfo Frascoli and Engines-Engineering. The bike has an official launch date of 2nd October.There will be plenty of surprises at the Intermot 2018, and we will try our best to bring you all the latest news mixed with our quirky analysis, until then stay tuned to BikesMedia.
