For the complete rulebook: Welcome to ARAI - SIAT emission certification structural dynamics advanced engine testing SLED facility CAE industry

I have no idea how the Avenger is approved. Also if u look closely, no bike follows the 80Db horn rule. An 80 Db horn is what is present on the R15!
thanks for the ARAI link. and it's not just the avenger. the Bullet Machismo 500 has a 45/40W. so they're officialy breaking the official rules. and yamaha's breaking the rule of breaking the rules! one word. India ...
