    In the next one year, LML will be bringing 5 new scooters based on its classic LML Vespa look, with a target as an all male scooter. Since 2007, LML has been primarily exporting scooters to the European market and had to cut down its workforce from 7500 to 750 to stay afloat. LML had been one of the few automobile manufacturers who had been adversely affected by the Labour Unions, to the point where production came to a standstill. This will be a herculean challenge for LML to make a successful comeback, with the entrenched competition of Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, TVS and even Mahindra.

    PS Choudhary, head of sales and marketing, LML Ltd -

    "We want to bring the real scooter for men back into the market. Companies have launched scooters centred around men in the recent past but they are basically women's scooters with cosmetic changes,"
    Source: LML to launch 5 new scooters over next year - Hindustan Times




    Would a scooter from LML be able to capture the imagination of the market? Only time will tell.

      Haven't we been hearing the same news for years now? Here's a report from 2011:
      LML plans a comeback with four models | Business Line

      Barring the unspectacular relaunch of the Freedom in 2013 (and subsequent flop), we haven't seen anything materializing from the LML shed yet. The 4-stroke, retro styled Star was indeed launched, but only in export markets. It never made an official launch in India.

      Biking is not about how many Km/h you put on your Speedo. It's about how many miles you put on your Odo. Ride Safe, Ride Long!

          Lml is back!

          Lml is back
          We all thought lml was long dead, yet we saw guys loving their lmls and freedoms.
          Lml wasnt dead, it was defeating ktm, aprilia, vespa in the sales inneurpean nations lioe france and asian countries like japan!
          Lmls are hot cakes there!
          India is getting
          Scooters:- 2stroke - nv 150 (yes a 2 stroke only god knows hoe it will meet emission norms but its launched!)

          4 strokes:- star 150 at(150cc automatic 4stroke scooter)

          And now the behemoth
          Star 200 cc 4t!
          (Europe gets a 200cc high compression ,short stroke,fuel injected model that makes 18 19 ish hp!)
          We unfortunately are getting a low compression, easy to kick. Long stroke, carburetted 200cc fuel efficient motor, that makes 12 hp..... fortunately! There is 21nm of torque:P:P and short gearing, so you kbow uncles will now be burning apaches and pulsars off signals! (Owners dont be angry)
          4gear manual transmission and yes it has selFstart and lots of colour options, a galvanized body and 60kmpl claim,
          Safe to say 50 to 55 real world milage for a scoot is also an awsome feet that is 200cc.

          LML Star Euro 200 | LML Star Euro | LML Star Euro 200 cc Scooter

          Also the freedom 100 and 125 has been lunched that guys still love for its reliability. Gess lohias are getting their hang of it again!

            When it comes to India every company sells there toned down versions here, i believe LML shoud come out with full force, just take the competition head on, LML should sell same versions of scooter which they are selling in europe not any bog down products.

              I think lml is the only company still offering a 2t bike

                May be not, yes they are still selling 2st Nv, but 2st motorcycle i don't think so, yeah if you have said of moped, Tvs is still making 2st moped and selling it quite handsomely.

                  I dont think they have a chance here in India where we have established heavy weight champs like honda, hero, yamaha and suzuki.

                    It would be very difficult for LML to regain their long lost market share now that other players are strongly rooted into the market.
                    But no one know, luck could be on their side.
                    Scoot market will grow even more now.

                    Ride safe and have fun.

                      Yes yes I ment the 2t scooter my bad.
                      2t nv can meet the puc norms awsome!
                      200cc 4t lml makes 21nm torque, thats more than r15, apache, karizma, zmr, p150, 135, 180, maybe more than thr ns too! Short 3 gears and one long 4th gear.

                      Yamaha is planning to relaunch the rx 100 with a replacable cat con.... and a little updates, yamaha has that engine and the replaceable cat con can make it meet ouc norms, hell if lml can make there 2ts meet the norms so can yamaha,..(svc guy told me about this replacable cat con thing, they went for training and saw it there)
                      If they relaunch the rx I bet it would sell more than anything.



                      But is yamaha listening? :banghead:

                        i am skeptical that how many ppl now want a geared scooter, coz the current crop of activas & does have spoilt the market with gearless, easy to ride scooters. lets see. the 200 CC scooter seems good, i always loved the LML scooters.

                          Bro aap ke moonh mein ladoo agar yeh baat sach hai toh, last what i heard from yamaha was that they were planning to launch an 100cc 4stroke motorcycle on the lines of rx-100, but if they are launching rx-100 2stroke again that's the best new for true 2stroke fans.
