Hey all you bike lovers you there- heres a better bike from KB. Okay this is better styled, improved performance blah blah.. What they fail to mention is the new kind of silencer. It really sounds different. Kind of more refined. It was claimed in all bike Jargon about its new that kind of looks, that kind of remodelling etc. But believe it or not it does look better but doesnt necessarily sound better.
Pros vs old one :
Obvious claim : Better looks. And it is better. Better Fuel
Efficiency : Maybe true. Surely shows the signs in the initial period.
Better handling : May be due to a better inclination of the handle. (Many dont see the difference.) Tires : Cant feel much difference but helps (I think in mileage)
Cons vs old one :
Size : The makers dont relize that the older one was the biggest of their bikes. Its size is compromised with fuel efficiency. It does matter to the guys who buy coz there are many bikes in that size in the market (VICTOR is a tough competitor). There just has to be more plus points than just the fuel efficiency these days coz of the competition. So I am saying all in all , these looks etc are just to woo the buyers.
The bottom line is : They are trying to bank on fuel efiiciency packed in a new look.
So guys who just have to move way up n down may have use for this. But still with Victor, I think this ones gonna crash (in the middle class teen genre). Maybe it'll do well with lanky working guys. But.... hell think about it.. whos gonna buy this with Victor around. I mean it has no hitches like the caliber clutch, brakes problems. It is almost maintainance free (Motto - Suzuki). To sum it up, this bike is surely better than the rest of the Bajaj bikes (and dont you even dare to consider the no-good Eliminater) but it is still found wanting.
