India's Hero MotoCorp has revealed patent drawings for a new dual-sport motorcycle. The design features an air-cooled single-cylinder engine, wire-spoke wheels with front and rear discs, and a bash plate for off-road use. Hero has not disclosed displacement or launch timing.
A bash plate and wire spokes right out of the gate is exactly my kind of bike. Paved roads are boring, and stuff like this hits home for people who feel the same. Looks light with that air-cooled single, and I could see hauling this out for weekend grassroots racing. I want to know the displacement already.

Still just a patent, so no way to guess the price yet
How long does it usually take to go from patent to launch?
This looks like it's gunning straight for the Royal Enfield Himalayan
That look could work well for long-distance touring too
Not disclosing the displacement seems like a strategic move
Air-cooled single probably means they're keeping costs down
