    Recently I happened to experience the advancement in our road infrastructure improvements...It normally takes 9 to 10 hrs for a Omni bus to travel from chennai to Madurai..But the Volvo bus I traveled in reached in just 6 hrs .A distance of roughly 460 Kms.This includes 15 minutes stop for natural call relief and 10 minutes for diesel fill . The best part is that me and my family never felt it...Such is the development of our roads,that 120 kmph on the Highway seems sedentary.
    Hope sure is driving us and India.

          here in calicut, roads are getting narrow day by day and the quality is so bad that potholes are generated within a couple of weeks

            hmmm... now you mentioned it, I've too experienced it over here in some places. Well, the fact is, when considering the big picture there is quite some improvement. See, there is not place which will perfect. Last week, when one of my friends came back from the US, he was saying that the place he stays is also just like our sub-urban neighborhood, with narrow roads and roads full of potholes!

            I guess its enough of OT...

                  That's a great news!!!
                  But Chicane,I don't see any visual difference in this pics as of such,except from that round switch on the speedo console & that extra wire running along with the brake hose pipe.A clear pic of the front and rear disc would have helped.

                  A motorcycle functions entirely in accordance with the laws of reason, and a study of the art of motorcycle maintenance is really a miniature study of the art of rationality itself.

                    • There wont be a visual difference in the design of the brakes. Also notice the 'ABS' activation symbol in the console.

                        actually i was trying to say that the roads here aren't getting any better and there's no improvement at all, unlike your place

                          TVS is really releasing a bike with ABS. I'd thought it would be as mysterious as the pro-kit.

                          But great news. But the greatest question, will people buy it if it is priced higher than pulsar 220. Mmmm... I would
