The pics are getting better and better day by day and the looks of the bike too getting better and bettery day after day.

So far, I have read two previews of the bike; Bike India and Overdrive. Seems the bike's capabilities are almost same as old ZMA except in few areas. The bike is definitely quicker to 60 kmph marginally which is nothing to boast. Both the reviews say the bike feels a lot better at higher speeds and seems 0-100 figures would be very much better. The ride quality has increased due to GRS shocks at rear. Also, the engine seems to feel very less stressed at red line too. With sane riding, a mileage of 40-45 is expected in city. And my guess is at speeds around 80-90 on highway, the bike may deliver an FE of 45 kmpl.

Just enquired at Bhanu Automobiles about the bike. I knew the sales girls have little knowledge about this bike and I directly went and spoke to the Manager over there. Got a proper response and the bike is expected to be in showrooms for dispaly by first week of October. He took my contact number and said he would call as soon as the bike arrives.
