September 2025 promises to be a special month for motorcycle and scooter enthusiasts in India. A mix of exotic Italian superbikes, an updated Indian flagship, a budget supersport, and a brand-new sporty scooter are lined up for launch. From Ducati’s latest V2 family to Hero, KTM, and TVS, there’s something for nearly every rider segment.
Ducati Panigale V2 – Italian Supersport Arrives
The Ducati Panigale V2 has been missing from India’s lineup for years, but that changes this September.
-
It comes powered by a brand-new 890cc Superquadro V-twin, producing 120PS and 93.3Nm. The engine downsizes from the earlier 955cc version (155PS/104Nm) to comply with the 2025 World Supersport (WSSP) regulations, which cap twin-cylinder bikes between 660-990cc.
-
Performance hardware includes a monocoque chassis, fully adjustable Showa or Öhlins suspension, Brembo brakes, a six-axis IMU, multiple riding modes, traction and wheelie control, and a 5-inch TFT console.
-
With its aggressive yet more forgiving character than the Panigale V4, this motorcycle balances racetrack DNA with real-world usability.
-
Expected price: ~Rs 20.7 lakh (ex-showroom).
