what's new in this news item?

Increasing dealership is a great move, need of the hour to say the least.. especially at a time when Hero Honda split is on the cards.. Just read in economic times that Honda is not happy with valuation offered by Hero for 26% stake. Hero is offering 40% discount to the current market price (at the moment HH share is around Rs. 1950/- in the market), while Honda is expecting close to market price. Also Honda has made a counter offer to buy out Hero's stake!!

Yep, I read the Economic times news too. The Hero and Honda split is just a matter of time now now.

BAL strategy of Discover and Pulsar is not just getting higher sales numbers, but also higher profits. Will be interesting to see what can Hero come up without Honda in the near future.

so finally bajaj is going the same way as toyota went with lexus was wondering whent that might happen but i think its a bit early for discover at least... pulsar has a very strong market but am a bit skeptic about discovers market with more and more companie bringing out new models in the 125 c.c. segment.... they might hit discovers pretty bad...

Yes, even I read it that Hero would focus on the "Splendor" and "Passion" as brands than on the Honda brand.

Its actully funny because when Mr. Rajiv Bajaj had first made public about focussing on "Pulsar" and "Discover" brands more than the Bajaj brand, many at xBhp were of the opinion that he (Mr. Bajaj) was wrong.

Oh yes.. By what I know, Tall and Big Indonesian guys (like yourself) prefer to ride Pulsar 180's and 200's

(The Pulsar 135LS is suitable for smaller guys as well).

following unilever style!!!!

as a marketing student i personly think, that bajaj is going to introduce seperate, seperate logos for pulsar and discover to create a uniquniess for each brands like pulsar stands for sportiness and discover stands for fuel efficency.i think these logos are going to create by london based brand agency "brand-union". sometimes bajaj might drop there bajaj logos in these two, pulsar and discover bikes like what unilever did for there products and became marketing oriented organisation. i don't know whether what i written was correct or not

Seems they are going Bharti way. Bharti becomes Airtel.
Bajaj will become Pulsar auto limited
