New Product Development in Automobile sector (With Reference to Bike) organizations mission is to improve the effectiveness of people engaged in developing and managing new products-both new manufactured goods and new services . this mission includes facilitating the generation of new information, helping convert this information into knowledge which is in a usable format, and making this new knowledge broadly available to those who might benefit from it. On the other words we can say that product development is creation of, innovation of, enhancing the utility of or continuous improvement of earlier characteristics (like design, services, etc.) of an existing product or developing (manufacturing) an entirely new king of product to satisfy (fulfill) the end-users (consumers) requirements.

13,000rpm, its torque has been boosted through the bottom end and midrange, especially says BMW in the 5000-7500rpm range. There are now three power curves one for Rain mode, one for Sport, and one for Race and Slick (previously there were two: one for Rain and one for the rest) while the available torque curves have followed a similar progression. The throttle has also come under scrutiny. The RR used to have a separate throttle curve for each of its four power modes, but this has been reduced to two one for Rain and another for Sport, Race and Slick. Also, the throttle now has a significantly shorter action. Rain mode sees the maximum power cut to 163hp (120kW), up some 11hp (8kW) on the old models Rain mode, and while weight has been shaved here its also been added there the net result is the bikes dry weight remains unchanged at 178kg. The tuning between the bikes Race ABS and DTC systems has also been refined, as has the chassis. The latter features new suspension internals front and rear, revised suspension settings and a 20 per cent larger air intake guide in the steering head. A new 10-position adjustable steering damper has been adopted, and the steering geometry has been altered the steering head features slightly less rake (24.0 degrees versus 23.9), fork offset has decreased by 2.5mm, trail has increased by 2.6mm and the wheelbase is down by 9.3mm, to 1422.7mm. The swingarm pivot has been repositioned and is now 4mm higher. The end result, says BMW, is enhanced agility, handling and stability. The forged and milled fork bridge has been redesigned, the bodywork has been tweaked (with a leaner tail section, new sidepanels and an array of new grilles and winglets) and the instrumentation has been revised, with new functions such as best lap in progress shown on the LCD display, a speed warning indicator (which does double duty as the shift light), and five different levels of illumination. Finally, the bike is available in several new colours, with red/white, blue and black schemes joining the popular BMW Motorrad Motorsport livery (a $765 option).

(11) CONCLUSSION:
From the above discussion it can be said that new product development is an continuous process for any business organization to survive in this competitive market. It is necessary for business organization to come up with something different product which is unknown to the society or we can say product should be unknown or not produce by any our competitors.
