The 2011 Bike Launch speculation Thread

[payeng]

Your thoughts are welcome.





Please pardon the sloppy photoshop editing.

Loved the digitally altered Mojo. Slight tank hump, lowered headlamp and lo behold..!! A totally new character on an earlier confused design.

All that is required are slightly rearset footpegs and narrower handlebars (I had sat on the Mojo during the launch) to go along with the new found aggressiveness.


Good job there Nitro.

The tank and all look ok once that light are down.
Little down on price too, will get buyers in more amount.

IMO what makes the PS job better is that the gaps between the frame and forks are filled in..makes the bike look beefier.

Edit: other gaps filled too..engine bay ones.
Belly pan looks better on PS.

Personally I'd have put on a single round dome instead of Gandhiji-Goggles.

^^ ya that headlamp is an eyesore...a 'monster'esque headlamp would be better

Good one Nitro, please push this stuff in your design thread man!

(A bikini fairing please )

@Nitrosatya:
This looks 1000 times better than wat was showcased by Mahindra.
Just one thing, if the headlight assembly is placed soo low, the speedometer console will also come down along with that.
I guess you missed out that part (or didn't consider the console part). Won't that be odd?

excellent job there bro. It looks fantastic .

As payeng said. They just need to add less wide a handlebar and slightly rear set pegs and it will hold its own against the baby CBR.

The second picture is what should have been a Mojo. Loved it.

Thanks

Purposely left it.

My friends,behold the beauty of muscular downforce styling!

[MACH50]

Can someone put a Vtwin or a Parallel twin in here ????? Please

Mahindra can do it easily,that would make their product exclusive and different in the market of CBR250 or the upcoming single cylinder 250cc bikes.........it would again be on its own rivaling the mighty Ninja 250R. !!!!

but it won't happen for sure

[Aravind]

whatever change we wish to see...its just going to be a wish...only possible change could be the price...they might decrease it considering the new releases..that if they are concerned about the volume of sales....but Mojo's launch seems more of a propaganda of Mahindra's capabilities than a sales venture...its job will be to boost their image in people's minds

The reason you stated above will have to make the company change the bike. They might risk being branded as the quirky (in a negative sense) bike-maker...

[Aravind]

or that could also be taken as out of the box or radical....they wish to stand out from the crowd..though not outstanding
