        No matter how big the Leg space may be, his knees are going to hit the front panel.
        I feel, its a wrong choice for endorsement. Should have got some other actors with Normal frame.

          I doubt they will. Im 6'1" and its the only scoot in which my knees don't hit the panel/handlebar.

            Wish he lies on the seat and rides with his legs and uses a periscope to see the road. I wonder how will he put his frame inside and sit.

            One thing which I would like is to assign Brand Ambassadors from that field. Dileep Rogger is a good person, who is a biker at heart. With such things, the country will get to know that we too have world-class motorcyle riders, rather than concentrate on fame alone.

            Just my opinion. No offense meant to Bachchan ji fans

              Damn. That was just a Joke man . My uncle is around 6'2" and and comfortably places himself on my Jupiter. But still, I dont feel, he is the right person to endorse it.

                Until now I've seen MS Dhoni in most of the TVS ads. AB looks like a wrong choice as for promoting two wheeler to me.

                  There are a few personalities in India who sell. Like AB, Sachin, Rajnikanth. Imo, TVS has projected the face and image of AB to promote Jupiter not his frame!
                  Remember AB endorsing Maggi? Rather than AB eating the Maggi, it was the assurance that if AB could have it, so can we. Both the ABs known to us are versatile - one on the screen, the other on the field!
                  It seems to be an all out attack on Activa I guess. I mean TVS wants to close on the legend. Jupiter is a very good product overall. And with AB on stride, they can hope for the best.

                      Choice of the brand ambassador is driven by the customer segment that brand wants to target. For example, John Abraham endorsing a budget commuter might not be a good choice as John would appeal more to youngsters who want more power/looks in their ride. In that respect, I think AB is a good choice for brand ambassador as he gives the subconscious cues of maturity/versatility/reliability/trust to the brand Jupiter: appealing more to the middle class, mature customer segment TVS is targeting.

                      (My assumption is that TVS wants to target the middle class, mature customer segment for Jupiter. Please correct me if I am wrong here)
