Payeng, did they ever fire that thing up at the launch? Did you guys get to hear what it sounds like as well?

This is the funniest thing about the launch..the bike was not ready to even fire up. If proto too isnt ready..why launch??

Nope. The bike displayed at the launch was just a prototype. So the bike wasn't fired up.

So its technically not a launch. Seems like a shiny-object-gimmick by Mahindra to grab eyeballs for the Stallio.

I dont really find the price of MOJO that overpriced considering the amount of imported parts its got....if the MOJO is considered overpriced,shouldn't the R15 be considerd the same too?

'twas more of an unveiling than a launch actually.

if it can perform well... then it's definitely worth the price tag.

the R15 has nothing more to prove.

And to be Perfectly honest Indians are cheap I don't want the extra horses gimme the goodies and not just the basics like everyone else has, and with enough power to immasculate all the other little bikes and I'm happy!!! You don't see too many Ninja's on road do Ya? ...Guess why??? Its Too Expensive!!! So there's the answer to the first part of your post. See I feel the Mahindra is in a category of its own and no its not a cruiser like Payeng mentioned it's more of a supermotard sort of like the ducati hypermotard...

And as for home made tires etc etc c'mon wouldn't You rather have imported tires on your ride? I mean the whole of india does it, replace the stock tires with imported ones...Mahindra's actually saving You that valuable 4k or so You'll be spending so You can buy Your girlfriend that expensive pair of shoes she's always wanted!!! :-D And Yes i agree it was only the prototype if it really was to be pitted against the Ninja 250r then they should have it up atleast to 30bhp...I mean thats what I'd like to think But you can;t have everything in Life right?

Cannot quite understand what your point is? Agreed that Mojo has got the goodies but I feel Mahindra has provided goodies just for goodies sake.
Why would you need USD forks on such a small displacement bike? Why do you need a Ducati EFI? Can't a Bosch or Delphi EFI suffice? Again Pirelli tires, I reckon the tires on the R15 and 220 are of very high quality.

And I have hardly come across people changing the tires on R15 and P220, so I don't know whom you are talking about.

The riding position is not like a super motard as mentioned by Payeng, its a mishmash of street/cruiser position.

The way it stands I can atleast understand why the Ninja cost 3L but I cannot for the life of me understand why the Mojo costs so much. I'd rather buy the Ninja anyday over the Mojo.

Its a request to you, please avoid using those kind of word what i have highlighted above in your post.
if you dont respect yourself, nobody else will do it for you.

@Mods: please take care of these things.

Alert!. Two Xbhpians ready for booking the Mojo jojo upfront

**men_in_jean** · 10-07-2010, 03:17 PM

@jamalkhan: chill. Based on his post, I do not think he intended to say Indians are cheap. May be he tried to say Indians prefer cheap.

However, the offerings which will make Mojo worth the money.
30 bhp, full fairing, clip-on's.. tadaa.. magic.. u'll find more people opting to buy!!

mainly the would be Ninja buyers

and that would bump up the MSRP past the Ninja 250R's.

PS. this bike isn't going to take on the Ninja. it serves a different purpose.
Manufacturers around the world have tried. The N250R is untouchable.

besides... Mahindra hasn't even been able to start the bike themselves yet.

Lets wait till Jan.

why so? you mean a full fairing and clip-on will cost 1 lac?
It is a 300c 4 valve engine, and there is definitely something wrong if it getting maxed out at 8500 rpm. A 2 valve Pulsar can do 9k RPM. If this can be sorted out, then I am sure the bike can surely extract 30 horses.

No-one/nothing is un-touchable, when a good competition emerges.

Remember I got the opportunity to check out its riding position.

LOL well I'll say one thing though You didn't look to comfortable on it...and Yeah You're right it's styled just like hypermotard NOT a Cruiser!!! just coz you sat on it in an awkward way doesn't brandish you the right to call it a cruiser man! The eliminator was a cruiser, look at the seat height and the overall design of it, why are mahindra testing a cruiser on track then??? Can you now see thru the fog??? SO Big deal if you sat on it...You're still off track with what it is. Only in India can we mix up a hypermptard design for a cruiser. I attached the ducati hypermotard pic just as a reference and you'll find thr handle bars, seat and tank are all similarly designed. So think twice before slinging your ignorant "Yeah Right" on this forum.

**animeher** · 10-07-2010, 05:41 PM

Guess everyone's MOJO is out in full form

That applies to you!

I'm seeing your attitude as I'm right and everyone else is wrong.There is a better way of discussion when you are posting on forum pages.

**nin** · 10-07-2010, 06:23 PM

enough guys...now can we all continue to talk about the mahindra bikes here please !
