Piaggio Vespa is all set to launch the Vespa RED in India. The idea is to promote awareness against HIV AIDS with the money generated from the sales of Piaggio Vespa RED.

Suzuki Motorcycle India's domestic sales in the month of September 2017 alone went up to 50,785 vehicles, while exports accounted for 6,684 units. Also, sales in the last two quarters grew by 41.73 per cent.

Bajaj Auto reported a 14 per cent increase in total sales retailing 4,28,752 units in September this year, with a massive increase registered in exports.

Piaggio India is launching the Vespa RED in collaboration with (RED), an organisation that seeks to engage businesses and people to create awareness about HIV/AIDS. Every sale of the Vespa RED will generate money to finance Global Fund grants that support the fight to end AIDS in India.

India Kawasaki Motor has launched the Z900 naked motorcycle in a brand new pure metallic spark black colour. The company will have less than 30 units for sale at present. It will gauge the customer response and then decide upon getting more units of the new colour.

Italian motorcycle manufacturer MV Agusta and Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton recently teamed up to release a new special edition bike - the MV Agusta F4 LH44. Based on the manufacturer's most potent motorcycle, the F4 RC, MV Agusta will be making only 44 examples of this limited edition bike and it's expected to be priced somewhere around $72,000, which is roughly about a little over Rs. 47 lakh.

Bajaj Auto has begun dispatches of the Pulsar NS200 ABS across the country ahead of launch next month. An official announcement from the company is expected sometime next week. The new Bajaj Pulsar NS200 is priced at Rs. 1.08 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) and bookings for the model have also commenced at select dealerships. Deliveries will start in early October.

Initially, the company will offer Ecstar to its customers at the Nexa Service workshops, while progressively, it will be offered at Maruti's service network of over 3,000 workshops across India.
