The Formula E championship has seen some massive manufacturers join the sport in one way or the other. In a first, a bike maker is now associated with the electric series. Formula E racing team Envision Virgin Racing has signed a multi-year partnership with Harley-Davidson, with the American motorcycle maker set to feature on the team's electric racing cars. Harley's association with Formula E comes at a time when the company is at the forefront of its electrification plans for motorcycles. The announcement comes ahead of the 2019 Paris e-Prix scheduled for this weekend, while Harley-Davidson is gearing up to introduce its first electric motorcycle - LiveWire - later this year.

amaha Motor India introduced the much anticipated MT-15 in March this year, and the all-new 155 cc street-fighter is off to a good start on the sales front. The Yamaha MT-15 registered a sale of 5203 units last month, which points towards the motorcycle finding acceptance in the premium end of the 150 cc segment. The new naked was launched amidst much fanfare, albeit at a premium asking price of Rs. 1.36 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), which makes it more expensive than rivals like the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V, Bajaj Pulsar NS 200 and the KTM 125 Duke. In comparison, 3096 units of the 125 Duke were sold in March 2019. The motorcycle was launched in November last year in the country.

The Speed Twin is the newest addition to the British motorcycle marque's much-loved Bonneville range, and the bike made its global debut last year, in December 2018. The new Triumph Speed Twin sits right between the Bonneville T 120 and the Thruxton R, as a contemporary modern classic offering both performance and handling, in addition to a more upright and easy-to-live-with ergonomics. This makes the motorcycle very appealing to someone looking for an accessible motorcycle like the Street Twin but with Thruxton R-level performance.
