Looks like it's been built to an ever tighter budget than the FXR. Drum brakes? Really?

Rear shock looks familiar.

Rest of it looks fresh out of the 1980's technology wraped in some pretty plastic.

Bit it has exceptional riding performance and an engine that is new and powerful.
I hope they didn't pay their publicist too much for that drivel.

You have to remember this is India where the single cylinder CBR250 is a cutting edge sports bike (although I did see a Ducati 1198 in a showroom, God only knows where and when you could ride that). Their roads are appauling and the traffic is chaotic, a 125 single cylinder four stroke is all you need and can use, not that I'd dare ride in the cities.
The write ups for the latest releases are always hillarious but you cant argue with the pricing, I seem to remember the CBR150 was $1700NZ new. There was a Honda 100 for a under a $1000NZ new.

I can't believe they've used 'Gixxer' as the name for it.

Cool that it's been accepted, but ruins the slang for the real thing.

A 150cc single cylinder engine! Fark! How daring - I bet it could piss all over my 600...:niceone:

The name sucks but the bike itself doesn't look too bad actually. Would be a good learners/ commuter bike if sold in NZ.
