    The 110cc Star City commuter motorcycle has got a minor facelift from TVS. To start with, the power-horse design on the fuel tank has been replaced by new graphic pattern. A new color option has been added as well but the biggest (and more than welcome) change comes in the form of a 12V mobile charger socket, placed just behind the front left indicator. This makes the Star City the first motorcycle in India to have this feature and it goes without saying that this will be a boon for those who are always on the run, doing field-work and often need to charge their handsets. Brilliant! Can we have this on the higher capacity RTRs as well please?

          Sorry for late reply. See the pics where I fit it.

          Sorry for late reply. See the pics where I fit it. It fitted with clamp on engine nut-bolt. connected with negative terminal of battery and positive terminal with ignition key wire so it is powered on only when u switch on ignition key only. When u left it in parking it has no powered at all. So no one else charge with it and wont short circuit it intentionally. Additionally one fuse is also connected.

              I wonder if this feature can attract customers by itself?
              The answer could be NO but it could be YES as well. For example, a potential buyer is split between this bike and some other bike and is comparing features by features, he might be inclined to go for the Star!! Also it can be called as a marketing gimmick to use the tag "first in India"!!!
