India's Bajaj is reportedly set to launch a new adventure motorcycle powered by a 250cc engine. An accessible, easy-to-handle displacement for an adventure bike, it looks set to offer a fresh option in the Indian market amid rising demand for touring.
A 250cc adventure bike is genuinely a great option in my book. A big adventure bike is too heavy on a forest road, but a 250 is light and maneuverable. It's exactly the right size to stand at the entrance to dirt. Bajaj coming to this class is proof more people want to play off-road. Makes me want to go tear across India's landscape.

Has Bajaj really never had an adventure bike until now?
There was the Dominar, but that leaned cruiser — this should be their first genuine adventure bike.
At the 250 class, it should come in more affordable than the Dominar400.
It's still just at the "planned" stage, so I'll take it with a grain of salt until there's an official announcement.
More affordable-displacement adventure bikes is a welcome trend for the touring crowd.
A 250cc adventure bike looks like it'd go head-to-head directly with Royal Enfield's Himalayan too.
Specs aren't out yet, so I'm curious whether it'll end up lighter than the Himalayan.
