Bajaj Discover makes international news ! - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

The Bajaj Discover is now in the news in UK . Believe it , it's true .
That's the good news . The bad news is , it was Jackie Chan's advertising for this bike that made the Bajaj Discover reach UK news .

You really think Europeans consider a puny 125cc a hot bike ? Unless of course , its for their 12 year old son ! One thing I'm sure , is that the Brits surely must be wondering at the price - £544 or some 45000 Indian rupees . Chan was paid £250,000 for his services .[

] I'd do the same for much less !

Hey Ricci good piece of info.Ricci u wud have been a better ambassador than chan for this bike

stryker135 · 09-12-2004, 02:36 PM

actually it wudnt be a bad bike here in the uk,if its launched at a decent price cosidering liquid cooled twin 125's of honda and others costs lik 3000 pounds ,then the bajaj bike wud be a good option for young riders who need a 125 to pass the test..

example the honda varadero or honda shadow 125 liquid cooled twin 4 st's makin 15 odd bhp cost 3000 pounds but the bajaj discover cud cost half as much..[8D]
