        Wish all the manufacturers concentrated on good hybrid technology instead of 100cc=100kmpl formula.

        I know it is almost impossible on motorcycle considering the weight of the battery pack + engine + computer combined will be. But on a sub 600cc it will make lot of sense.

        If there where a manufacturer in motorcycle industry as bold as mclaren and give us a P1 equivalent motorcycle....it would be awesome.

          Honda Valkyrie (Russian model ) I guess had a reverse gear, up to 6kmph.

                66.70 is actually not bad compared to what would be our condition if previous govt was still in charge.

                Remember 66.70 is not subsidized this includes various profits and most of all state govt. central govt brings petrol to country it takes it shares, what does state govt do?

                If there where a DIY kit available like this hybrid, it would sell like hot cake. But knowing it will be Indian and as usual exclusive, price will be high. Unless being manufactured by bajaj.....lol.

                Petrol price 66.70 in Vizag.

                  Half of the current price goes in taxes. I'm sure the 400 million people living below the poverty line would love to hear your thoughts on prices and fast bikes with awesome 20kmpl.

                  Anyway this is off topic. And my post wasn't political FYI.
