The 2016 Delhi Auto Expo will be held between Feb 5 and Feb 9, 2016. What it will bring for us is a plethora of awesomeness and some not-so-interesting vehicles as well.
Motorcycles have their own loyalists, who have waited to see certain models in flesh. If you don’t know which one is it that you are looking forward to, then don’t worry, we have you covered.
We’ve put together a list of the most interesting bikes to look forward to, and unable to choose a favourite, we decided to go in no particular order.
BMW G310R
At first glance of the BMW G 310 R, you will immediately notice the short-wheel base and naked bike character which gives it a very evident visual kinship with the BMW S 1000 R.
The engine in this bike is a single cylinder 313 cc unit with electronic fuel injection and produces 34 bhp at 9500 rpm and a maximum torque of 28 Nm at 7,500 rpm.
What’s interesting is that although it was developed in Munich, it will be produced with TVS as its cooperation partner.

Triumph Speed Twin
The Triumph Street Twin is expected to be the most affordable Bonneville in the Indian market. The Twin is the entry level model of the 2016 Bonneville range and will replace the current Bonneville.
The bike manages to retain the classic look of the original Bonneville and yet it does not look outdated. It is powered by 900cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin unit which churns out 54 bhp of power and 80 Nm of torque.
Other features include ride by wire throttle, ABS, slip assist clutch and traction control.
It is expected to be priced somewhere between Rs 6-7 Lakh.

DSK Benelli Tornado 302
DSK Benelli caught everyone’s attention with the launch of its entry-level street naked motorcycle – TNT 25, and it plans to take it further.
The company will be showcasing the Tornado 302, which is a full-faired version of the Benelli 300 already available in India.
The bike is expected to bring sizeable amount of crowd to the Benelli stand because we love the full-fairing, don’t we?

The bike was first exhibited at the 2015 EICMA in Milan.

Ninja 250 SL
Kawasaki is expected to showcase the Ninja 250 SL. A competitor, if launched in India, can give the established Honda CBR 250 a run for its money.
The Ninja is a well-known brand and a 250cc offering will make this bike accessible to a larger customer base and hence, it has created a lot of buzz on the internet as well.
And of course, the green can’t be ignored anyway, can it?
