1. Suzuki Access 125 Updated
The Suzuki Access 125 has been a staple in India since its launch in 2008, consistently ranking among Suzuki's top models. Exciting developments are underway, as the company appears poised to introduce a significant update to this beloved scooter. Recent spy shots (Source)reveal the Access 125 shrouded in heavy camouflage, indicating a major redesign is on the horizon making it one of the highly anticipated scooter launches set for this month. We can expect a new headlamp design and some modifications to the front apron. Although the rear design details remain obscured in the images, its likely that enhancements will be made there as well. Overall, Suzuki seems ready to give the Access 125 a contemporary and refreshed look.
2. Upgraded KTM 200 Duke
KTM is anticipated to release an updated version of the KTM 200 Duke next month, following sightings at a dealership (Source). The 2024 model will feature the same 5-inch TFT instrument console and switchgear as the 2023 KTM 390 Duke. However, it is still unclear if the bike will include Bluetooth connectivity for turn-by-turn navigation and music control. This makes the mass appeal of this sporty 2-wheeler even more as the electronics will attract more buyers to the showrooms. Notably, it will maintain the same 398.63 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC, and fuel-injected engine, churning out 25 PS of power at 10,000 rpm and torque of 19.3 Nm at 8,000 rpm.

Verdict
The new bike and scooter launches are here to take advantage of the festive season as this is the time when the buyers go all out and make the interst turn to concrete purchases. However, not all of these are new models, but a few of them are the updated models as well. However, keep an eye for the festive discounts as well, which at this point in time, would also be applicable on the new launches too
