    New Bajaj 100cc bike to be called Discover; Launch on 12th July

    The new Bajaj 100 cc bike is to be called Discover. Launch is on 12th July and is expected to take on the Splendor in pricing.

    I think it is a good move by Bajaj to name the bike as Discover, since Discover has a good brand value.

    The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

        Discover100!

        & I thought Discover-150 was going to be launched by this Diwali or year-end!
        Bajaj began with the Discover-110, then moved to 125, & then 135.
        Right now, the 110 & 125 have been phased out, & its sad they are moving backwards to launch a 100. I don't think it will make erstwhile Discover owners happy.
        A 100cc is most welcome, but it would have been better-off at a different Brand name..
        BTW, not so long ago, Bajaj had announced it is going to exit the 100cc segment immediately (phase out of CT100 & Platina100), & exit the 125cc segment too.. Now what happened to them!

        The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

                  Could this be the new Platina LPG? The spy pics of which were on the Forum some time ago!

                    New brand means starting the brand building exercise from the beginning. May be that's the reason Bajaj has gone in favor of an established brand.

                        discover has much better brand image than XCD or Platina that gut to use Discover name and i think bike will look like previous discovers without that tank extension

                          well during my recent trip to mysore-bangalore,i could see many dicovers on the road

                          even though bajaj has invested much much more in publicizing xcd but still to this day i can see discovers outnumbering (new) xcd's(new) in fsct i see more of xcd 125's than 135's

                          on part of bajaj i see this is a clever strategy to cash in on existing brandname

                          well i do not see any reason as to why a 125 or a 135 discover owners would be angry,in fact they'd be happy

                          most of the owners are normal commuters who'd be happy to see more and more of bikes of same name, reassuring there decision

                          and regarding bajaj re-entering 100cc,i'm happy that at least there'd be some stiff competition to hero honda

                          hh have monopolized the 100cc segment at least this would wake them up and give something better to the market

                          they've introduced electric start now in 2009 (passion pro) whereas my 1997 scooty es had it since then!!


                          ^^^(well all this hoping that the bajaj and honda 100cc's are a hit)

Its POWER START dear... new innovation from Hero Honda.. Such a great innovation that.. the Passion ad revolves around the Power Start.

                            Its introduced for first time in India.. All the bikes had Electric Start... but Power Start has been unheard off.. before HH introduced it to world.

                            Its a turbocharged starter motor with inbuilt intercooler and option of putting nitrous oxide.. to boost the performance of starter motor when the bike is not starting. The POWER START feature is so powerful.. that it itself will run the engine (& bike) even when you are out of fuel. Just imagine... Motor is so powerful.. that at the press of button.. it will provide power to crankshaft.. and Passion will vrommmm past even the Octavia 150 BHP RS.



                            It introduced first in Passion model not in HH bikes...by d way HH is not promoting it as first introduced...yaa they first introduced in classic CBZ (150 CC segment)..and then all other manufactures follow the same.
