Italian Brand MBP Is launching In India At Auto Expo 2023

The first MBP product to be introduced in India will be the M502N.

AARI (Adishwar Auto Ride India Pvt Ltd) presently sells 26 different bikes from five different manufacturers. The advent of the Italian-origin (Chinese-owned) brand Moto Bologna Passione is expected to increase that number. The M502N naked bike will be MBP's first product in the Indian market when it launches at Auto Expo 2023. Keeway will introduce the SR250 neo-retro motorcycle at the Auto Expo in India.

Details of M502N Bike

Similar to Benelli and Moto Morini, MBP is an Italian brand with Chinese ownership that has expanded to India under the supervision of AARI. The M502N, a mid-capacity naked bike, will be its first product.

The 486cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine that powers the M502N produces 45Nm of torque at 6,750 rpm and 51hp power at 8,500 rpm. It is coupled to a 6-speed transmission. The Pirelli Angel GT tyres and cast alloy rim sizes used here are the same as those used on the Benelli 502C in the front and rear, respectively. The M502N's seat height is 790mm, and its empty weight is 198kg.

When introduced here, it will compete with models like the Moto Morini Seiemmezzo 6 1/2 and the Benelli Leoncino.

Details of Keeway SR250

As promised when it made its Indian debut, Keeway would introduce the SR250, its eighth product, to the Indian market. Keeway already sells the SR125 neo-retro bike in India, so it is quite likely that the new bike would have a similar design but a higher displacement engine.

Auto Expo 2023

The Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), the top regulatory body of the Indian automobile manufacturing industry, organizes the largest automotive show in India, the Auto Expo, which takes place every two years. New automobiles, motorbikes, scooters, concept cars, commercial vehicles, automotive technologies, etc. are displayed prominently during the event. Nevertheless, the Covid-19 pandemic-related interruption forced the biennial automotive event to be postponed in 2022. The expo will make a comeback in January 2023 after a short break.

At the following Auto Expo in 2023, various amazing concept cars and models in internal combustion and other greener and cleaner powertrain forms are anticipated to be unveiled.
