    ^^ i already answered the smallest cc scooter to be launched.

    1st and 2nd still incorrect. The oldest engine is debatable, coz the honda 97cc is also that old, though it came to india in the 80s.

    10 ) vijay super ( dunno if it was a rajdoot )

    ^^ the last guess was closer. it was 99kmph. and there were two scooters of 75cc geared, LML pulse and bajaj RAVE. ( that looked like scooters too, though the rave looked pretty futuristic. )

    Anyone on the others??

    This I recollected while going to sleep yesternite, but editing that post was cheating. Hope I am right at least now.

    Did Priya come with 98 CC ?

    ^^close but not that close on any one... i could give you number 5 though, coz there is a conflict in the way i asked it.

    for number 6, i said not moped or scooter, it has to be a motorcycle.

    Observe the scorpio s Discs the next time. U would see some pattern on it. Most modern cars also have ventilated discs but u should observe them parallely. They are like two discs sandwiched , which is also for ventilation.
    When a brake pad rub against the disc, due to the heat, the brake pad material emits some gases. This gas will form a thin layer of surface film which modifies the coefficient of friction and degrades braking. To ventilate this gas, holes are used.

    The holes on Scorpio is to reduce brake squeal.

    Yes, most cars uses ventilated disks. They have a spiral path way between a pair of disks which acts a centrifugal blower to take away the heat.

    here is something I know,
    1.) DTS-Si - Digital Twin Spark Swirl Ignition

    3.) Sprung weight is the weight supported by the suspension system. The other masses like wheels,tyres, sprockets and suspension itself are Unsprung weight.
