                • Saw SunilG in the video

                  Now if the specs are same & the bike has gained weight then it's bound to hit on the performance figures slightly. They should have tuned the engine atleast. Any idea about it guys?

                  • So, It looks like V2.0 would actually turn out to be slower than V1.0 due to increase in weight, fatter rear tyres.. and no major change in the engine specs.. isnt it?

AFAIK there is little or no room for reliable improvement on that engine without bumping up the CC(from a manufacturer point of view).
                      remeber my old post people.

                        • The bike is looking awesome and its its price tag is acceptable. But the tech specs. Still 17 PS??that was a huge disappointment. They might have tuned the engine, but that is not enough for us. Why in the world YAMAHA going Hero (HH) way? Are they making bikes for posers?
                          Oh Bajaj and TVS, You guys are the bests in India when it comes to upgrades.

                              • No disappointment on my side. Just a visual and ergonomic change. Is the saddle height increased? Its now at 800 mm. Is this increased?
