Ducati started this trend with the Monster 795 which, a motorcycle which was specificaly developed and targeted at the Asian market. To reduce cost of the bike, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer evenbuilt its first production facility outside Italy in Thailand and sourced most of the parts locally. In the Indian context KTM spearheaded this philosophy with the Duke 200 and the 390 while recently Harley-Davidson unveiled the Street 750 and 500 which would be built at its Indian plant.
British motorcycle manufacturer, Triumph Motorcycle has become the latest entrant to join this bandwagon, as it announced at the 2013 EICMA Motor Show that it is developing a 250cc motorcycle for the global market. The new motorcycle would be built at its Narsapura plant, on the outskirts of Bangalore and last month it had also revealed plans to entering the Indian two-wheeler spectrum on November 28. Triumph released a concept sketch of the bike featuring a sporty design and said that the bike would be powered by a single-cylinder 250cc engine.
