          "Taurus" the Diesel Bullet existed only for a brief period of time.

              looks like Hero's first post-Honda bike will be a cruiser.

              maybe a chopper too.

                I'd give it a very minimum of 2 or 3 years before we get to see anything.
                Far more likely, this will remain a pipe dream.

                Of course, I'd like to be proven wrong

                  Pray it should be a Multi-cylinder engine, other wise the riders may get Impotent due to the horrible vibes between their legs

                    read this... sounds unlikely... but...
                    Hero sees the potential of up to 150,000 units in the first year itself, clearly indicating that it is considering aggressive pricing too.

                        old memories

                        who could be engine supplier ?

                        reminds me RE diesel bullet , one of my relative had it. it was terrible machine. sound like tempo . you don't need to goto gym if have one , only try to start in winters will burn more calories

                        hell lot of vibrations , you need a new jaw set after riding it for few km

                        now diesel engines have improved a lot , lets hope something better.
