Upcoming 250cc Motorcycles to Watch in Bangladesh

There are very few feelings in the world that can beat the feeling of riding a good bike or motorcycle. Whether you are inexperienced or experienced, the thrilling feeling of riding a motorcycle surpasses everything. And for this, high-quality and high-speed bikes are necessary. High speed requires high-cc motorcycles. But this was not possible in Bangladesh until now because importing and releasing motorcycles above 165cc was completely prohibited. But the good news for bikers is that 250cc motorcycles are coming to the country's market soon.

In the proposed budget for the fiscal year 2022-23, Finance Minister A. H. M. Mustafa Kamal spoke about importing 250cc motorcycles for the first time. In his budget speech, he said, "Factories are being built in the country to manufacture motorcycles with engine capacities greater than 250cc in the country. Currently, no duty is imposed on the import of this product." Although he later spoke about imposing duties.

However, for a long time, businesses have been demanding the introduction of motorcycles with engine capacities greater than 250cc, and this demand became even stronger when the world-renowned motorcycle brand Royal Enfield expressed interest in entering the country.

In this context, it's necessary to discuss the relationship between CC and speed. CC or cubic capacity is used to indicate the power generation capability of a bike's engine. Cubic capacity is the volume of the bike's engine chamber. The higher the CC of the bike, the greater the amount of air and fuel mixture during power generation, and the greater the power output of the engine. In other words, high CC bikes have more engine power and are faster than low CC bikes.

Why are 250cc bikes new to this country?

250cc motorcycles were prohibited in the country for several reasons, among which the notable ones are-

• It is somewhat difficult to handle the powerful engine of a 250cc motorcycle, especially for inexperienced riders. Therefore, to avoid unforeseen accidents, these bikes were not released in the market.
• The price of 250cc bikes is definitely higher than bikes with lower engine power, so it was assumed that the demand for these bikes in the domestic market would not be very high.
• As low-power and fuel-efficient motorcycles were considered more suitable for the purchasing power of most people in the country, arrangements were primarily made to keep those in the market.

However, with time, as bikers in the country became more skilled and their demand for faster and more powerful bikes increased, the ban on importing motorcycles above 165cc is being lifted, and 250cc motorcycles with higher engine capacity are coming to the market.

Impact of 250cc Motorcycles Coming to the Market

These premium motorcycles will be imported into the country through various channels.
