After Aquila its the Comet!! - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

Heres what Sulajja Firodia-Motwani, JMD, Kinetic Engineering said in an interview with Autocar India.

"We are looking at the Hyosung Comet, a sportsbike, either with a 250cc engine or maybe a 600cc engine. . . but nothing is finalised yet. And even if it were to happen, it would be much later."

And thats the Comet 600.

MOKSH · 04-25-2003, 09:28 PM

COMET LOOKS AWESOME - BUT I THINK BRINGING IN THE 600CC WILL NOT BE A GREAT IDEA IF KINETIC HAS TO SELL ENOUGH BIKES !!
ALSO THE 600 CC WILL BE AN EXPENSIVE BIKE ..
BEST IS IF THEY BRING IN THE 250CC BIKE AND THEN WE WILL HAVE A SERIOUS COMPETITION !!
THE HERO HONDA 250CC VS PULSAR 250CC VS THE COMET 250CC
WOW - I AM DREAMING ALREADY !!

MOKSH · 04-25-2003, 09:31 PM

WHAT I WONDER IS - HOW GOOD ARE THESE KOREAN BIKES ??
EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT THE AQUILA NOW - BUT NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE AND ITS RELIABILITY ??
BUT WHATEVER - I FEEL THEY WILL BE DEFINITELY BETTER THAN SOME OF THE TRASH WE HAVE !!
IF PROPERLY SOLD - THE KOREANS CAN WIN OVER !!
LOOK AT HYUNDAI !!
WAY TO GO KINETIC ..... OOPSSSS .... HYOSUNG !!

This is a good looking bike...but I wish it was launched by a company that has a good customer care repo, better than kinetic

MOKSH · 04-26-2003, 03:16 PM

HEY R 180 - No problem dude ..
Yes the headlights look quite ordinary .. guys imagine the pick up and the speed if its coming in a 600cc engine ??
Does disc at the rear affect the braking in any way ??

cha_indian · 04-26-2003, 11:03 PM
