In that case, i'll give it an unqualified miss.Originally posted by riazmomin View PostDid i priced it higher? Profits you see.

Looking at it the other way, how about pricing the Sling Shot at par (or maybe below) with the Splendor/Discover/Star instead..??
Maybe not for most of the xBhp'ians but definitely keeping in mind the mass market.
Also I wonder how easy it will be for our vernacular guys to pronounce "Sling Shot"!

I call Saling ShaatOriginally posted by AMG View Postshling shaat, anyone?Advice is a form of nostalgia.
Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

Because we are a culturally diverse country, I can only imagine SlingShot in a few dialects!Originally posted by antz.bin View PostI call Saling Shaat
Marathi - Ceiling Shawt
Gujarati - Shleeng Shaut
What was that statement that the Suzuki officials made about 'understanding' Indians and making a bike for them! Shitz! They couldnt even give it a easy name. I guess this is why GS150R sold in good numbers!

Re: Suzuki Slingshot Launched @43,000 ex show Delhi:25th August : Suzuki slingshot la
Did you understood what I said? read the reply I have given below to Dhairya.Originally posted by AMG View PostDo you even know what you are saying?
Well, Dear Dhairya, some time mistake happens due to crazinessOriginally posted by dhairya View PostTotally MAN!!!! I mean brakes are such a waste so are crash guards, indicators and rear view mirrors! I mean those were the first few things i threw out of my bike. I now just jump off my bike when I have to stop and put my feet down to slow it.
Sorry for OT, but could not resist!
The engine might be proven but unless you enter into a market with a clear strategy, it is of no use. It looks like they are trying to target the youth. The bike will have to prove itself really well to compensate for its horrible looks. While GS 150 is a great bike - looks great, very good engine and nice handling (so I hear). But this looks like a love child of Lady gaga and a tobu cycle
and I am sure you have done the same here by not reading the my post carefully
I feel pity for you when you do not understand that 'no need of disk break' means 'Drum breaks are enough.' or did I said anywhere 'no need of breaks at all'?
I request you to avoid such mistakes and torn the other members of forum

yeah, I was not in a mood to reply such old posts but I thought that I should remove the misunderstanding of both AMG and Dhairya about 'no need of disk break' means 'Drum breaks are enough'
