The motorcycle has been christened ‘The Phantom’ by fans all over the internet – pure anthropomorphism. The new head lamp is flanked by very obvious narrow-eye pilot lamps. And the pilots are separated from the big one by matte-ish black plastic, which gives it the effect of Walker’s mask. The headlamp is in a fairing that is mounted lower than the older one, making the bike look lower and sleeker. Tank aside, all the panels are brand new. The SV1000-ish tail piece looks very sleek and has twin vertical LED tail lamps. The new side panel has a new vent and more angular line.
Yes man. DTS-Fi has shamed the like of some high capacity bikes. But I think when the superbikes are made to be available here, commercialy, the price tag will surely go down. One simple example. YAMAHA has planned to launch the fazer 250 here. While its original price is 2.23 lakhs abroad, it can't even think of surviving here for a day with that tag. Cos, p-220 will be less than a lakh, for sure since the Zma is around 80 grand. This cascading effect will forcefully slash the prices of all bikes. The price, at the end of the day, should be comparable to India.
