India's two-wheeler market is seeing a flurry of activity. Yamaha will launch its new R2 sport bike on August 27 with a 10,000-rupee booking amount, while Royal Enfield will unveil the new Himalayan 440 in Ladakh on September 4. The Continental GT 650 also received a price hike alongside updated features.

Looking at the spec sheet, the Himalayan 440's 443cc, 25.4 horsepower and 34 Nm are exactly what gets me going. It shares a platform with the Scram 440, and yet unveiling it in Ladakh on September 4 is just too good. Add the R2 bookings opening up too, and this Indian summer of new launches has my heart rate up.
