As per the latest buzz, India's first 250cc Husqvarna motorcycle has been delivered to a customer named Tanmay Pawaskar by KTM Thane. Tanmay took the delivery of Svartpilen as he preferred a scrambler over the cafe racer styling of the Vitpilen. The Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 and Svartpilen 250 were recently launched in India on February 25, 2020, with an introductory ex-showroom price tag of INR 1.80 lakhs. The Husqvarna motorcycles are available to the customers via the KTM ProBiking dealerships in India while the production is being carried out at Bajaj’s Chakan plant in Pune. The existing KTM showrooms have been updated to accommodate both the brands while the Husqvarna twins are available at 100 dealerships across 45 cities in India. Bajaj Auto plans on expanding the number of KTM-Husqvarna showrooms in the next 5 months.
