Where Will Valentino Rossi Go?

7 Races of the 18-race season of MotoGP 2012 has already been finished. We only know the fate of 4 riders for sure. The shocker at Le Mans (which the whole motorsports world knows by now) was Casey Stoner retiring at the end of this season. Jorge Lorenzo has listened to his 'heart' and has signed up with Yamaha for another two seasons. While Stefan Bradl has a contract for 2014 with LCR Honda, Bradley Smith looks certain to enter MotoGP with the Tech-3 Yamaha next season. With Valentino Rossi extremely unhappy with how his career trajectory is going with Ducati, question is where will he go for the next season?

Bikes To Be Launched In 2011

It's raining bikes in India especially the foreign brands showing interest in the Indian market. The Cubic Capacity of bikes is always on the rise and this year will be no different, in fact this year will prove to be a landmark in the Indian Motorcycle industry. With Honda launching its CBR250R, the KTM's arriving , we are in for a treat. Finally we get to experience some world class bikes and it's good to see people have started to recognize that we have a good market for higher cc motorcycles.

The most expected one will be the introduction of 600cc bikes in the Indian market for the first time. We feel that a 600cc bike is much more practical and usable in our roads than the litre class bikes. Ninja 650R,Yamaha R6 and CBR600RR will be a good bet this year.
