After unveiling products like the Hero HX250R, RNT diesel-electric hybrid scooter and a new 110cc scooter named Dash, it has emerged that Hero Motors is currently developing a 600cc bike which has been codenamed “Hastur”.
According to a report by ET, Hero Motors will showcase the bike in its concept avatar the Auto Expo 2014 this week. Economic Times have obtained the information from two highly placed sources of the event company which will handle Hero Motors’ stall at the Auto Expo.
“It has an aggressive street-fighter look. The big sporty tyres, performance suspension and the yellow coloured metal frame tubes make it look lean, nimble and powerful,” one of these two persons told ET on condition of anonymity.
“Going by the initial look of the bike, it seems to have been designed for the international markets, but it is likely to be launched in the domestic market as well at some stage, where super bikes sales are one of the fastest in the world,” says the other person.
This 600cc Huster is likley to borrow parts and tech from Eric Buell , with whom Hero Motors have signed a partnership deal. This bike has been developed for the international markets, and is likely to be launched in the Indian market too.
Although not much details are available, we can surely say that post its split with the Japanese auto giant Honda, Hero Motors are now coming up with block buster offerings. With the diesel electric concept scooter, they have surely upped the Indian scooter scene.
Stay tuned to Motoroids for more updates on the Hero Hastur from the Auto Expo 2014.
Buying shares = Investing money = Money for R&D = Helping Buell..
How difficult is that to understand?

And you seem to think that the R&D is so easy huh? Do you have the slightest idea of the difficulties to develop such a product especially in India, where each company is dependant on a lot of other ones and they depend on others? Its just the way things are here. I'd like you to point out any other Indian manufacturer who has grown in R&D the way you depicted in your comment.

My point is, it is difficult, and by no means a simple feat. So it doesn't matter if some of the tech is borrowed. No company has a 100% monopoly over the tech they claim as theirs anyway.
Oh uncle!! this is automotive forum/blog. Mind your language.
n can you tell me any 600cc bike which buell developed and with two cylinders??
and comparission, I can compare u with that Kejriwal for fooling and comparing thing which is ye to be decided. learn some manners.
At last from my side your a Ch*#*ya!!
Thank you. 😀 😀 ;P
I m not questioning hero to justify its buy or copying but i expected hero to grow in R&D and now if they could buy buell i m they could very well can build a better R&D division and then bring a real made by hero product! But they are like they left there old wheelchair(honda) for a new one.. they didnt learn anything! And buying shares doesnt count helping its pure business! If they wanted to really help buell they would have brought buell on there own to India just as Bajaj did with Ktm.
They did bcuz they lacked funds but now papa hero got them some money! They can do new experiments or some old bottle new wine stuff and back 2 decades ago they had 500cc and 700 cc engines buddy!! And please dont stick me with bajaj! I here only represent myself not any auto co.!!
comparison is real competition and by your words here you look like dumb from planet mars!! From competition you get new innovation but dumb like yours think i m merely comparing a body panel!! And you dumbfuck go study some mechanics of automobiles!! ohh i forgot u cant! you are still a dumbfuck kid!! !! And dumb there was a 500cc and 700cc engines by buell!!
