Built in India yet it isn't launched here first?

[sunilg]

earlier, there were reports from Bajaj side that they will launch it during the Auto Expo, but who knows they might launch it earlier to kill the new R15 just as they did it with the Hyosung GT650

you don't even need the bike to be launched for them to reveal the tech spec; sometimes you don't even need the bike to exist for them to reveal its tech specs.

The switch gear is the same as the Pulsars. Moonlight display on the icons. Did Bajaj use the stuff from KTM or is it the other way round?

According to the link in the 1st post of the thread..

It will cost 15k-18k RM(Malaysian Ringgit)
Which comes out to be...2.3-2.7lacs in Rs.

But it is gonna be a CKD in Malaysia...so In India it should cost around 1.5-1.75Lacs Rs

The no. of units sold in malasya will be lesser, so larger profit margin is maintained... so higher price over there...
Moreover in india, there is more competition coming so they have to price it competitively... hence it will be definitely below 1.5lacs...
