Looking at Honda's past patent filings, one might think this is just a global car and the company is protecting its intellectual property in India. However, this looks like an affordable motorcycle that the company may launch in India. 2025 Honda CB300R Patented? At first glance at this patented design, anyone would think it’s a CB300R with a slightly updated design, making it even more neo-retro than it already is. This may also be true. However, there appears to be more to this patented design than meets the eye. A closer look reveals it has an air-cooled engine. For context, the Honda CB300R has a liquid-cooled engine with no fins on the engine block for air cooling.

Updated Hero Karizma XMR design patented in India, may
Hero MotoCorp has filed a design patent application for a new motorcycle that appears to be a more aggressive version of the Karizma XMR. While the basic design looks almost identical to the conventional model, the bike, which is likely to be called the Karizma XMR 250, seems to have its own personality with notable features like a redesigned fairing and winglets. Unlike the current Karizma XMR, this sport version features an inverted fork configuration. The front fender, rear section and fuel tank are very similar to the Hero 2.5R Xtunt concept bike that was showcased at the 2023 EICMA event last year. On the mechanical front, the upcoming Karizma XMR is expected to use a 250cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine derived from the 2.5R Xtunt concept, but Hero is yet to confirm this. The unit produces higher performance figures (25.15bhp and 20.4Nm) than the existing version. There is no official word yet, but the upcoming Karizma XMR with a larger…
