    BM100 is already available in export markets. Check the following link

    http://www.bajajuae.com/Boxer.html

    This makes me to think then the new launch is really BM100 or anything else. Why will Bajaj go for a big launch of a product which is already available in export markets.

    So is there a possibility that the new bike is Discover 100ST?

      Its quite possible actually that the bike is a BM100 mainly BECAUSE its already in export markets.

      If its a discover, should be 104cc (D104 anyone ???)

          So do you have any links for an article where it was mentioned its an Discover 100ST which you can share or is it based on some insider information?

            A Boxer model,with digital speedo/Rear disc .... Thats totally impractical,and most unlikely.
            May be a Totally new model - But,Its better to have more 'functional' "Tubeless tire" as an option rather than the 'fancy' digital speedos and the 'over kill' rear discs....

              But tubeless tyres mostly require alloy wheels, which are somehow not considered that tough, compared to Spokes.

              I feel that tubeless tyres are now a norm but for urban-focussed bikes only, just like alloy wheels. Although my Pulsar has handled even seriously uncomfortable terrains very well.

              I think a digital speedo is acceptable enough now, even for rural population. I've seen many of such guys on XCD, Passion Plus (digi speedo), etc. I think they love it.

                Ye,thats right.Bajaj has been making a small digi meter since XCD 125 days.So it wont add much to the cost.And one disc brake(disco typ) will do. But what I was really dissapointed about Disco 125 ST was that,it lacked a Tubeless tire option.Hopefully bajaj gets that one soon and for all other models as well.
                New 100cc's Variants should be such-
                1.Spoke/drum/kick
                2.Spoke/drum/self
                3.Alloy/disc/self/tubeless tires..
                if they charge 1.5K extra,it wont matter for the people buying the top end model.
