Re: Mysore Auto Expo 2014

[MENTION=59533]Rakesh Rok[/MENTION], Was the autoshow organized by the Times group?
These are very same bikes which were exhibited at the Times Auto Expo at Bangalore on 29th Sep. Moto Guzzi and Aprilia were the only brands which were present at Bangalore, and the same here if I am not mistaken. Looks like there is nothing new for exhibitors in/around Bangalore to put on show.
Some of the bigger Katooms, the new Kawis, a couple of Beemers and some of the newly launched Truuumphs would have really pepped up the show.

I guess so, it's the same. . . BTW yes, these bikes are indeed brought from Bangalore, spoke with a person from Aprilla and he said it's for publication or what you impression building of Aprilla and Moto Guzzi and that the showroom is in Bangalore, there were cars too along with them but I took the pics of only bikes, cos I am a biker

. . .

May be most of them are from Bangalore but here in Mysore too we have superbikes and some of them were showcased here, will be posting the remaining pics in two sets. . .

Cheers!!!

Re: Mysore Auto Expo 2014

Now comes the second set and hopefully will end this in a last set as soon as possible. . .

Firstly the bikes showcased by various companies,

Me with RC8

The what they say limited edition GT250R which bike is very almost nil existent on the roads

,

The Big and Small brothers, GT650R and GT250R,

Two from BMW,

That's me posing again

, what was I seeing that seriously

Me looking at it, will I be able to touch at least one feet of mine completely

PS: This is just a poster of S1000RR, we do have a S1000RR in Mysore but that wasn't showcased this time

,

Now here comes our Mysore bikes, guess almost many of them showcased here are for sale,

Gixxer <3. . .

Mann this was HUGE, what was the name of this he said

That's for now and last set coming soon. . .

Cheers!!!

That's the Honda DN-01. A CVT-equipped automatic motorcycle, which was neither a motorcycle nor a scooter. Such an odd proposition that Honda had to let this beauty flop. I personally like the DN-01 though.

yup that's the name he said it to me, now I remember and ya as we can see in the image, the bike doesn't have a clutch. . . May be it's a cruiser, an automatic cruiser

. . . Whatever, seriously it looked huge. . .

Cheers!!!

OT:
Take a look at those wide, comfy, padded seats and the platform footrests. It was meant to be a cruiser, but unfortunately, a 'weak' 680cc engine with a relatively low power output (44bhp) and a CVT rendered it useless for any serious motorcycling. The DN-01 was seriously overpriced for a 700cc too, making people consider other sportier options. Honda ultimately dumped the DN-01. Honda has recently revived the DN01's design for the 2014 CTX1300.

Yup , DN-01; the 45 bhp (seems too low for its size) scoo-tercycle!

Mann you both ain't kidding me. . ? By the looks of it, I thought it's at least got a engine which is equivalent or more than that of the Hayabusa, expected it to be at least 1000cc+ and here the truth is, just a 680cc engine, that's half of what I expected and combined with that, just 44bhp of power, mann no wonder it's a big flop. . .

PS: May be it's like the GT250R which looks like a superbike but in fact it isn't

44BHP doesn't do justice in anyway for this monster looking beast, errr scoo-tercycle
