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?
