looks good, for a product from an indian manufacturer...a small one at that

Yes and it weighs in at 120kg! But I personally found the exhaust to be slightly sub standard, kind of like the free flow after market one. But it is a good effort nonetheless and price is good as well.

don't know how many they would sell but it's a good effort to start with.
the engine is developed inhouse?do you have more pics of the bike?

The person there told me it has been developed in house, not much info apart from that. Don't have more pics of the bike, might get them on Monday.

Looks impressive!

Checked it out today. That inhouse developed engine is a good thing but some parts were lacking in quality badly. Like the exhaust (as mentioned by YS) felt like the ones available in Karol Bagh for 300-500 INR. Meter assembly appeared strikingly similar to older pulsars but again the quality was several notches below. Same can be said about the headlight and its fairing. Overall styling was catchy though.

My comments are'nt against the spirit to welcome new products in the market but its just that everybody (manufacturers) should now understand the fact that Indian consumers are not ready to accept any sub standard product anymore, be it an Indian manufacturer or any international one.

I felt it was built from spare parts of Pulsar and Hunk (the tank shroud).

The meter console and the headlight assembly is definitely from the Pulsar analogue ones (used in Classic, V1 & V2) .

I am not sure if I appreciate the efforts or not. I mean its great to launch your own company dominated my big guns but then for small players, one should have a unique product. Do not forget that Indians pay premium for a better 'known' brand (Maruti, HH, Nokia) are great examples.
