The EICMA has successfully landed the last day and gifted us with some highly anticipated as well as surprise presents. It was such a big show, that one might be finding the time to breath between the consecutive launchings happening at the stages. The street fighters launched in the event were one of the most dominating aspects and they were doing great over there. Apart from the conventional fuel driven motorbikes, the electric motorbikes were holding a vital facet there. Let’s recollect those memories here with a flashback over the Street fighter category at the EICMA.
Benelli BN251
The Benelli has finally announced their arrival in the Indian market. They will glaciate their feet with the BN 251, which is KTM 200 Duke rival and houses a good proportion of similarities in terms of dimensions as well. The looks are borrowed from the elder sibling BN302. The equipments merged in this bike don’t include any mass or size raising traits. Just a smart fairing with under belly cowl is switched over the duty.
Powering this machine, a 249cc 4-stroke, liquid cooled engine generates a healthy power output of24.5PS at 9000RPM with 21Nm of torque at 7000RPM. Placing a 6 speed transmission box is a good approach for such a strong engine. Front wheel is hanged with upside down forks and 280mm disc brake with four piston caliper stands the bike still in seconds. The rear gets a monoshock mounted with double sided swing arms and the wheel is coupled with 240 mm dual-piston caliper braking equipment.

Triumph Street Triple 675RX
The freshly designed Triumph Street Triple 675RX houses a cross breed design from its older model and the elder boss Daytona. The rear mudguard and tail light designs are followed from the Daytona, while the front is mounted with a new visor which suits the bike’s dual headlight cluster. The ongoing model has the same headlights, but that seems to be a tasteless product. The use of red shade can be seen at various places including the alloy wheels, under seat garnish and fairing. A new underbelly cowl has also found its place and it looks good.
The bike boasts an engine worth 675cc displacement and it is configured with 12 valves for its 3 cylinders. The engine generates 105BHP of power with 50pound-feet of torque and it is assisted with 6 speed gear box. The major changes with the bike include only the cosmetic and visual changes while the core assembly is not flicked at all.

Energica EVA has won the crown of becoming the first ever street fighter to run over an electrical component. The highly capable assembly of the motorbike has the efficient and highly robust machinery inside its tough looks. It is an updated product from the company and it is based in the earlier motorbike Energica EGO. The EGO was a faired bike which has seen the world in year 2013. Apart from removed fairing, the EVA has received changes with foot pegs and handlebar’s position.
Though, the bike is in its prototype stage, the changes to the real world bike could take its chance over the concept. The electric engine is borrowed from the EGO which is 134BHP churner with 195Nm of torque. The PMAC motor has courage to make the bike follow the 100KMPH milestone in just 3 seconds.
