    Advice is a form of nostalgia.
    Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

    • Spotted Testing : New Scooter from TVS?

      Found this on NH4 couple of weeks back. New scooter from TVS as per the person riding but he did not give any more information about it. Interestingly it has the disc brakes in front.

      And one more interesting was it had a honda logo on the speedo, could not take a pic of it.

      Mods,
      Could not find any thread on it. If it exists please merge.

            Spotted this on NH7 b/w Krishnagiri and Hosur. The testers were ripping the nuts off the poor thing.

                    Me! Me! Me! Although a Z250 would be more like it . Hope Bajaj gets the 800 to India soon. Inline 4 in an overall practical package, perfect combination for our country!

                      Haha.. Well Sri, 200 or 250, anything that looks like THIS is heartily welcome.. (Though,speaking matter of factly, neither would be launched here given the upcoming 350s at a tag the CKD Kwackers cant match.)


                      Edit: If there's anything that suits India terrains the best has to be this and this alone.



                      An entry level of the same breed wouldn't been wishfull thinking now would it?

                              • New 100cc from BAJAJ



                                Fresh news has cropped up on the Bajaj Discover Facebook fan page that Bajaj Auto is close to launching a third 100 cc bike - in addition to the Discover and Platina - to take on Hero MotoCorp's entry level products, the Splendor and the Passion, as well as Honda's new model at the entry level, the 110 cc Dream Yuga. Codenamed D-104, the bike is scheduled for launch in October-November and is expected to be aggressively priced at around Rs. 40,000, a tad lower than its 100 cc and 110 cc rivals.

                                People close to the development say the new product's unique selling proposition will be latest technology at an affordable price. They add that the soon-to-be-launched model will have features that are not usually found in this segment, like perhaps an electric start, a digital instrument cluster, front and rear disc brakes and LED lights. Bajaj Auto will also do away with steel and instead be using fibre and plastic to make the bike lighter, and thereby more fuel-efficient and cost-competitive.

                                The value segment - which some manufacturers call the 'commuter premium' segment - has always been Bajaj Auto's bugbear. It has been unable to make inroads into this turf on which Hero MotoCorp accounts for three out of every four bikes sold. Bajaj has in the past tried to crack this market with models like the Caliber and the Wind but had little success.

                                It seems that Bajaj Auto is in no mood for rest and is all set to take on the most difficult segment in the Indian two wheeler market where Hero Moto Corp is worshiped. Its all a wait game now,stay tuned for more updates on this.
