"What we are looking is to offer as much choices as possible to customers," he said.

The 'Passion Pro Power Start' is priced starting at Rs 44,000 (ex-showroom Delhi) and the newlook Pleasure would be priced at Rs 36,950 (ex-showroom Delhi). The company has, however, not disclosed the prices of Splendor NXG self and the new CBZ Xtreme.

Dua said in order to promote the models the company would be carrying out campaigns across different media and also at the retail outlets.

In September the company had registered 22.4 per cent growth in sales at 3,85,262 units compared to 3,14,567 units in the corresponding month last year.

We are waiting... to take a glimpse at the REAL good color...

Please forgive my ignorance, if this has already been answered in this thread.

Only Colour & graphics upgrade. nothing more as usual.....

**sherry_unicornlover** · 10-22-2008, 01:54 AM

well apart from the new colur scheme i can see that the headlght is bit diffrent. but for me it looks out of place. it should be lowered a bit so that it can gel with the bike.
and whats that with only rear alloy wheel is colored? truly govinda style. same clothes with diffrent socks.

ur right sherry tipical govinda hoo haa style

**Xenologik** · 10-22-2008, 02:09 AM

Why why why ??????

reminds me of the "lml freedom" VIBGYOR" colour range...

why couldn't they have given a mono and a better headlight as i have

well i only hope the buyers don't go for this... i dont want a good bike getting uglier.. it has already been criticized enough for its front fairing..

**ravi@17bhp** · 10-22-2008, 02:19 AM

The orange colored bike looks really weird. The headlight design doesnt gel well. The black color bike would have been looked good, had the front alloy also red. How come such a weird paint scheme comes from the world's biggest two-wheeler manufcture.

Agree with you Xenologik. They should have come up with a better headlight design, particularly the goiter-looked front indicators.
