The Royal Enfield Scram 440 was introduced in January of this year as a successor to the Scram 411. Although this model featured numerous enhancements compared to its predecessor, including a larger and more powerful engine, various problems with the motorcycle led the manufacturer to cease sales for a period of time. The problem was associated with a defective engine component on the Royal Enfield Scram 440. This component, known as the 'Woodruff key', connects the rotating elements to the shafts and is situated within the magneto assembly, requiring replacement. As a result of this issue, the motorcycle would not start after stalling during a ride. This problem was apparent in some of the initial bikes delivered to customers. Consequently, Royal Enfield opted to halt sales while deliveries were still in the early stages, until the issue was rectified.

The Italian manufacturer of two-wheelers will introduce the new Aprilia SR 175 scooter later this month, with the model already beginning to reach dealerships. The SR 175 is set to succeed the existing SR 160 and is anticipated to feature a larger engine with increased power, along with additional features. The forthcoming Aprilia SR 175 bears a striking resemblance to the SR 160, except for the updated graphics and color choices. The new color scheme appears to draw inspiration from the RS 457 and Tuono 457 motorcycles within the brand's lineup. The overall design seems to remain largely the same, featuring the V-shaped headlamp, sharply designed front apron, and angular lines on the side panels. The model will maintain its 14-inch wheels, showcasing the exposed engine and rear suspension, which contributes to its sporty aesthetic.
