auto expo 08

India is starting to get important, the auto expo 08 Delhi is proof.
Everyone from the mystical Bentley to the minuscule Tata nano is starting to feel the importance of the indian market but hey where're all the bikes gone?

You have the Bentleys that cost about 3 crores but the best of the superbikes hardly cost more than 15 lakhs .The ANSWER: just look at one of the indian roads ,fancy riding a BUSA here just make sure youve got paramedics following you ,but that however has not deterred the Japaneese CEOs from launching the big boys , except the CBR ,the BUSA the R1 and the Streetfighter are already here and Yamaha did something that was just a logical continuation ,they scaled down the R1 and created the R15 the 150 cc wonder that would be on indian roads by third quarter 08.

From oil cooled fuel injected engine to front and rear discs to mono suspension combined with the monster styling of the R1 the Bajaj guys are already feeling the heat .

Added to that Yamaha has launched the international gladiator in India the actual launch which is scheduled to take place by March .
The fun biking concept of its CEO is all set to elevate the concept of biking here from a mode of travel for a family of four to an attitude statement.


Still wanna go after the Pulsars ..........think again
